Minding the gap: Bridging Computing Science and Business Studies with an Inte...Simon Fraser University
For today’s information technology organization, working in teams across functional and even organizational boundaries has become an integral part of every project. When asked about these projects, practitioners regularly report on how grave differences between business professionals and tech- nology teams have negatively affected project performance. The serious gap between how the two sides think, talk and work is systemic already in the training and education of both Business and Computer Science students at the univer- sity level. This paper describes the design of a competitive SFU Innovation Challenge which aims to bridge that gap by tasking interdisciplinary groups to create iPhone application prototypes and related business innovation roadmaps. This document then summarizes the objectives of the SFU Inno- vation Challenge, and reports on the difficulties and posi- tive results that materialized when students combined their technological problem- solving techniques and managerial strategies for effectively confronting real-world problems.Power point gastronomy of majorcan
The Majorcan diet consists of seafood and fish combined with a variety of local vegetables and fruits. The Mediterranean diet introduced by the Romans over 5000 years ago uses olive oil, grapes for wine, and wheat for bread as staples. A traditional Majorcan specialty is panades, pastries originally made at Easter that now can be found year-round and often bring people together.
Leaking secrets
Although the protection of secrets is often vital to the survival of orga- nizations, at other times organizations can benefit by deliberately leaking secrets to outsiders. We explore how and why this is the case. We identify two dimensions of leaks: (1) whether the information in the leak is factual or concocted and (2) whether leaks are conducted overtly or covertly. Using these two dimensions, we identify four types of leaks: informing, dissembling, misdirecting, and provoking. We also provide a framework to help managers decide whether or not they should leak secrets.
Ppquelis
The document discusses the history of Quelis biscuits from Mallorca, Spain. It describes how the biscuits originated in the town of Inca in the 18th century to be used on ships for long storage. The Domenech family later popularized the biscuits in the early 20th century under the name "Quely cookies" after Princess Grace Kelly's visit. Quelis biscuits are now one of the most famous cookies from Mallorca, known for being small, crunchy, and addictive snacks that are an integral part of Mallorca's gastronomy.
Trampo
The trampo is a summer dish from Mallorca made with diced Majorcan green peppers, onions, and tomatoes seasoned with salt and oil. It has a tomato base without lettuce. To make it, green peppers, onions, and tomatoes are diced and combined in a bowl, then seasoned with oil and salt before being refrigerated for a couple hours before serving.
Cardbank
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and also provides a distraction from daily stressors.

Wearing safe: Physical and informational security in the age of the wearable ...Simon Fraser University
Wearable computing devices promise to deliver countless benefits to users. Moreover, they are among the most personal and unique computing devices of all, more so than laptops and tablets and even more so than smartphones. However, this uniqueness also brings with it a risk of security issues not encountered previously in information systems: the potential to not only compromise data, but also to physically harm the wearer. This article considers wearable device security from three perspectives: whether the threat is to the device and/or the individual, the role that the wearable device plays, and how holistic wearable device security strategies can be developed and monitored.Panades
The gastronomy of Majorca is based on a diet that combines local seafood with fresh vegetables and fruit. Majorcan cuisine has been influenced by Mediterranean ingredients introduced by Romans such as olive oil, grapes, and wheat. A specialty of Majorca is panades, a pastry traditionally made at Easter that unites friends and family and whose exact origins are unknown.

RFID and Cash
RFID technology embedded in banknotes and other items could mean the end of anonymous cash transactions and personal anonymity. Governments and banks want to track all monetary transactions to combat crimes like money laundering and tax evasion. However, critics argue this level of monitoring infringes on personal privacy and freedom. RFID allows authorities to uniquely identify each banknote and item, recording a complete history of all monetary transfers and purchases. This could give governments power to instantly tax citizens or cancel the value of their cash. While proponents claim benefits to security, opponents view it as a threat to individual liberty.
Pa amb oli
This document provides a recipe and history for pa amb oli, a traditional Mallorcan bread dish. It consists of 3 key ingredients - dark bread, olive oil, and ramallet tomatoes native to Mallorca. The Carthaginians first brought olive trees to the Balearic Islands, and tomatoes were later introduced after the discovery of America. Experts trace pa amb oli to the 18th century when an Augustinian friar mentioned it in one of his recipes.

Consumer generated brand extensions
Purpose – Sometimes consumers express their enthusiasm for a brand by creating brand extensions, products or services in new categories that are closely affiliated with the “parent” brand. This paper aims to examine the positive or negative impact that consumer-generated brand extensions (CGBEs) can have on brand image and revenue, and the options that companies have available to deal with them. Design/methodology/approach – The paper presents a case study of the collectible strategy card game – Magic: The Gathering – and discusses how the company responded to five different brand extensions that were created by players. This case study was used to develop a framework that allows managers to evaluate CGBEs based on their benefits and risks and to select an appropriate response.
Findings – Four possible responses were identified: challenge, criticize, commend and catalyze. Which of these responses is appropriate for companies depends on whether the CGBE has a positive or negative impact on the brand image and revenue and whether this impact is large enough to merit an active response.
Originality/value – This study shows that it is essential for managers to understand how to evaluate CGBEs. Managed properly, they can improve product usage, help generate new customers and have a positive impact on revenue and brand image. However, CGBEs can also have a negative effect, in particular if they are substitutes for the original product.
SFU Bus495 Organizing Crowds
This document summarizes key points about crowd psychology and organizing crowds. It discusses who organizes crowds, typically starting with a few individuals who take up a cause and use social media to spread the message. It also discusses why people participate in crowds, noting common goals, economic instability, politics, and a desire to take action. The document outlines how crowds are organized through meaningful content shared widely on social media to create virality and reach large numbers of people. It also briefly discusses crowd sourcing, current trends in crowds, and tips for community building plans.
Sopes mallorquines
Mallorcan soups, also known as dry soup, is a traditional dish from Mallorca, Spain. It consists of thin slices of dry brown bread soaked in a vegetable broth. The broth is made from water, oil, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Mallorcan soups were historically a food for poor people, as they could make a meal using just leftover vegetable scraps and bread. Over time, different groups introduced new ingredients and cooking styles that shaped Mallorca's gastronomy, including the Romans, Arabs, Jews, Catalans, and the introduction of American products after colonization.
Bus450 Location Based Services
The document discusses location based services (LBS) and their evolution, taxonomy, uses in business, and potential outcomes. It describes how LBS have developed from using zip codes to current GPS tracking capabilities. LBS can be categorized based on their communication style, information/entertainment functions, and whether they encourage online or offline interactions. Both positive and negative outcomes for users and businesses are possible from the growing use of LBS technologies.
Bus450 Social Media Monetization
This document discusses various methods for monetizing social media, including subscription models, virtual currency, freemium models, and advertising. It provides examples of companies using each method and notes the pros and cons of each approach. The document also discusses how monetization of social media is still developing and presents some predictions for future growth and directions in social media monetization.
3D Printing - Disruptions, Decisions, and Destinations
This document provides an overview of 3D printing and its potential disruptions and implications. It discusses how 3D printing works using additive rather than subtractive manufacturing. Designs can be created digitally and then printed by adding layers of material until the final product is completed. 3D printing will disrupt traditional manufacturing by allowing on-demand production without large inventories and enabling individuals to print parts and products at home. Firms and consumers will both be impacted, and it raises intellectual property and ethical issues that policymakers will need to address regarding this new technology.
