Task 7 : Survey Analysis
From analyzing the results of a questionnaire, the author found:
- Most respondents were males aged 16-24 who are students or in training.
- The majority of people don't buy or subscribe to magazines due to websites with advertising revenue.
- Respondents slightly prefer electronic rock music over other genres like electronica.
- Respondents want a mix of articles and interviews in the magazine.
- Most would view a digital magazine for ease of access, but fewer than expected would exclusively.
SITUATIONS THAT POSITION PAPER MAY BE EFFECTIVELY WRITTEN
A position paper summarizes research on an issue and argues for a specific position or viewpoint. This document provides related words and examples to help identify a topic for a position paper. It also offers guidance on writing an effective position paper, such as conducting thorough research, following instructions, and expressing one's position through a role play for a group activity.
Questionaire
The document provides information about constructing questionnaires. It discusses the key parts of a questionnaire, including instructions, question types, advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, it notes that questionnaires typically have five main parts: title, instructions, questions, additional information, and thank you. It also discusses open-ended versus closed-ended questions and examples of different question types like rating scales, rankings, checklists and grids.

- Questionnaires should be short, simple, objective and avoid embarrassing questions.
- Functions include description and measurement of variables like attitudes and opinions.
- Types include fixed-response and open-ended questionnaires, and mail-administered vs face-to-face.
- Constructing a questionnaire involves deciding what to measure, the type, writing drafts, pretesting, and specifying procedures.
Ibm vs Microsoft
This document summarizes the key differences between IBM Connections Cloud and Microsoft Office 365 collaboration platforms. It notes that both platforms offer similar core features like email, collaboration, social networking, document editing, meetings and video, and mobile access. However, it argues that IBM Connections Cloud offers a more integrated, centralized and frictionless experience compared to the various disconnected services within Office 365. The document provides examples of how IBM Connections Cloud allows for better file sharing, social capabilities, analytics and cognitive features through its unified design approach.

A quick overview of the available reference managers2010
The document provides a quick overview and comparison of popular reference managers including Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. It discusses advantages such as being faster than manual reference entry, reformatting papers for different journals, and fixing typos that update all references. Disadvantages mentioned include crashes, potential to share more information than intended, and slow search times for large reference libraries. The conclusion recommends Mendeley as the most ambitious but also mentions current glitches, and identifies Zotero as the most effective for the author's workflow.

Project One Personal Discourse Description and AnalysisWe’ve.docx
This document provides instructions for a student assignment to write a 3-5 page essay analyzing how a secondary discourse shapes their identity. Students are asked to choose a secondary discourse they have acquired, such as a second language, sports terminology, job-related jargon, or hobby-related vocabulary. The essay must incorporate theories from Gee's reading on discourse and literacy and one other provided text. Students must submit a rough draft for an in-class workshop and the final draft is due on October 19th. The assignment will be graded based on various elements such as anecdote, analysis, use of terminology, organization, and meeting length and formatting requirements.
Backgrounderandpositionpapers 101006123025-phpapp02
This document provides guidance on writing a backgrounder. A backgrounder examines a present situation or problem by considering its origins and implications for the future. Backgrounders are produced for various purposes and can serve as the basis for other communications. They vary in complexity, from simple to detailed. When developing a backgrounder, one should determine the desired tone and audience, conduct research, and provide an issue statement, background information, analysis of the current situation, implications, documentation, and links to additional resources. Backgrounders are often used as an information base, in media kits, for public distribution, on the speaking circuit, and to support lobbying or workshop efforts.
Using Lenses to Right Fit Social & Collaboration
The document discusses using the right tools for social collaboration based on needs and scale. It advocates understanding collaboration through "lenses" like personal, collective, teams to fit the right social progression from sparks to campfires to larger groups. Closed and open sharing models are compared. Ensuring strong skills on the team, planning for problems, integrating multiple pieces, and regularly reviewing tools are advised for effective social platforms.

Exercise 5.1:Pick Backup software
1. Imagine a data center that has about 300 computers, roughly divided as 75% Windows, 20% Unix, and 5% running other operating systems.
2. Thinking back to the backup considerations, make a list of possible backup software to use in your data center.
3. Prioritize you list of backup software, using restore performance and options as your primary consideration.
4. Assuming a different primary consideration, such as price or some other feature of your choice, decide if your priorities would be different.
Project 4.2: branch testing your inventory
1. Develop a strategy for testing an inventory consisting of 300 systems with multiple operating systems, 30 personnel during normal duty hours, and IT infrastructure.
2. Your testing should cover at least the following troublesome area of asset classification: the "official" hardware inventory does not match a sampled inventory of the data center. For example, the official inventory of rack 15 shows 10 servers running Linux, but the actual rack contains 30 servers running a variety of operating systems.
Project 5.1: Develop a Complete Backup
Solution
.
1. Assume you have a large data center consisting of over 300 systems with multiple operating systems.
2. The entire data center produces approximately 10TB of data today, grows approximately 1TB per year. and only changes about 10% per week.
3. Develop a complete backup system for the data center that allows the organization to quickly recover any system to data no older than one week with tapes in the facility.

Negotiation is a fundamental skill, not only for successful management, but also for
successful living. Negotiation: Readings, Exercises and Cases 6e takes an experiential
approach to this skill and explores the major concepts and theories of the psychology of
bargaining and negotiation, resulting in a text that refl ects the very best and most recent
work on negotiation and the related topics of power, infl uence, and confl ict management.
Examples of new readings, exercises, and cases include:
Balancing Act: How to Manage Negotiation Tensions
Negotiation Ethics
Four Strategies for Making Concessions
Become a Master Negotiator
Culture and Negotiation
Investigative Negotiation
Seven Strategies for Negotiating Success
Ridgecrest School Dispute
Bargaining Strategy in Major League Baseball
The authors have carefully organized Negotiation: Readings, Exercises and Cases 6e
to coordinate closely with their newly revised text, Negotiation 6e, as well as with the
shorter version of the text, Essentials of Negotiation 5e. All three texts in this series
can work together to create a comprehensive learning system.

Negotiation is a fundamental skill, not only for successful management, but also for
successful living. Negotiation: Readings, Exercises and Cases 6e takes an experiential
approach to this skill and explores the major concepts and theories of the psychology of
bargaining and negotiation, resulting in a text that refl ects the very best and most recent
work on negotiation and the related topics of power, infl uence, and confl ict management.
Examples of new readings, exercises, and cases include:
Balancing Act: How to Manage Negotiation Tensions
Negotiation Ethics
Four Strategies for Making Concessions
Become a Master Negotiator
Culture and Negotiation
Investigative Negotiation
Seven Strategies for Negotiating Success
Ridgecrest School Dispute
Bargaining Strategy in Major League Baseball
The authors have carefully organized Negotiation: Readings, Exercises and Cases 6e
to coordinate closely with their newly revised text, Negotiation 6e, as well as with the
shorter version of the text, Essentials of Negotiation 5e. All three texts in this series
can work together to create a comprehensive learning system.
