America’s Incredible, Shrinking, Aging, Less Ready, Ever More Expensive Armed...Picard578
The document summarizes issues with how the US defense budget is measured and analyzed. It argues that the total amount spent on national defense is underreported, and that despite increased spending, the size and readiness of US armed forces has declined. Charts show the defense budget and number of Army divisions rising together until the 1980s, but now the budget is at an all-time high while Army divisions are at an all-time low. It concludes more money is buying a smaller, less ready military.

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric .docxARIV4
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: You have already chosen the company you will use for your final project, and you have started a narrative description of your expansion project into
another country. In this milestone, you will build on that narrative description providing sufficient detail about the expansion, its costs, and its time frame to give
a loan committee a firm sense of the proposed investment. You will also analyze the impact of the investment proposal on your business by explaining why now
is the right time for this investment given the global context and by explaining how the investment is a good strategic fit with your company. This milestone
addresses all of Section II and Section III (Parts A and B only) of the final project.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Partnerships for development have become increasingly important for implementing ICT4D initiatives. But despite at least 15 years of such activities, organizations keep reinventing the wheel, and there is little agreement on the real benefits that such partnerships can offer.
Join GBI and special guest speaker Tim Unwin, as we explore:
• what makes ICT4D partnerships successful,
• how they can be designed for
maximum impact,
• how they have evolved, and
• when alternative arrangements
would be more effective.

Tim Unwin, CEO of Commonwealth Telecommunications Organization
New ICT solutions for agricultural development are being developed at break-neck speed, and its hard to keep track of what’s out there, what works, and how it best fits into your project. At this month’s Tech Talk, GBI will demonstrate how ICT applications can complement a value chain approach to agricultural development, and we will bring in users and developers of these apps to explain their tools and how they are implemented. We’ll also unveil a new and useful interactive tool “Ag Apps Along the Value Chain,” that maps a collected inventory of over 120 apps and ICT solutions along the agricultural value chain.
This document discusses improving women's access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). It notes that ICTs are not gender-neutral and that ignoring gender can exacerbate inequality. Men and women access and use ICTs differently due to factors like availability, social expectations, education, and resources. Improving gender equality in ICT requires collecting better gender-disaggregated data, questioning assumptions, and using ICTs to address barriers facing women. The example of mobile apps is discussed, with 10 questions presented to help build apps that women will actually use, such as considering literacy, affordability, and cultural barriers. Overall recommendations include designing for women's needs, leveraging existing platforms, and planning for awareness and long-term
Bringing Communications to the Rural EdgeIntegra LLC
This document summarizes a presentation on bringing low-cost telecommunications solutions to remote communities. It discusses the challenges of connecting the billions of rural inhabitants in developing countries, including lack of power infrastructure and high costs of satellite backhaul and site construction. It then presents a new solution using low-capital and low-operating cost base stations powered by solar energy, with optimized local traffic to reduce satellite backhaul costs by 50%. Key features that lower costs include on-demand power control, power monitoring and adaptation, and traffic-dependent power control. The solution aims to connect the most remote populations in a self-sustaining way.
USAID's Global Broadband and Innovations program (GBI) hosts a monthly series, called Tech Talks. These events bring ICT4D professionals together to learn more about the successful implementation of information and communication technologies for social and economic growth.
In this event from Jan 2012, Pamela Riley of Abt Associates discusses the ins and outs of working with local mobile network operators.
The description of the event is as follows:
As USAID explores effective uses of mobiles for development, mobile network operators (MNOs) are actively exploring how to best position them- selves as partners in development projects. Using examples from Nicaragua, Bangladesh, Uganda and Pakistan, this TECHTalk discussion will touch upon:
• Trade-offs between engaging CSR departments vs commercial business units
• Pros and cons of exclusivity clauses
• Operator concerns, incentives and barriers
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help achieve food security through rural economic growth. ICT lowers search and transaction costs, improves human capital through social learning, and reduces risk, thereby increasing productivity, investment, and incomes in rural areas. While ICT infrastructure is important, the priority should not be on technologies alone but achieving universal access affordably. New low-cost base station technologies could reach more remote communities profitably. USAID programs like GBI and CORE could help demonstrate and spread these technologies while providing technical assistance to legal/regulatory frameworks and universal service funds.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
