COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES AND IT INFRASTRUCTURE

Assignment Overview

To support communications and collaboration, organizations make use of the IT architecture, which is defined by looking at different components. To afford communications, it is required that an IT infrastructure of people, hardware, software, and networks be in place. While there is a global culture of communications and collaboration, different countries have preferences how they attain communications and group cooperation. Similarly, groupware technology is more preferred in high performing companies than low performing ones.

Components of IT A

IT Architecture Components

Type of Architecture	Description
Business architecture	The processes the business uses to meet its goals.
Application architecture	How specific applications are designed and how they interact with each other.
Data architecture	How an enterprise’s data stores are organized and accessed.
Technical architecture	The hardware and software infrastructure that supports applications and their interactions.

Case Assignment

For Case 3, you will analyze the traffic gridlock case. Taking communication and collaboration into the next 20 years, Ford Motors has a vision to develop cars that rely on a network of communication systems. In the long term, Ford sees a radically different transportation landscape where pedestrians, bicycles, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic will be woven into a single mobile network to save time, conserve resources, lower CO2 emissions, and improve safety.

In what ways you think Starbucks increases its brand recognition with its E-Commerce initiatives?

electronic commerce and social enterprise

Module 4 introduces online presence for business and information security policies. E-commerce can result in a radical change in the manner business operate, but it needs to be integrated with the rest of the business. Some of the integration includes, planning, competition of resources, and interfaces to other internal systems. Sometimes companies join an alliance or consortium of companies to explore E-commerce implementation. Most electronic payment systems know who the buyers are, and it is therefore necessary to protect their identity. Other private issues may involve tracking of Internet user activities through cookies and in-house monitoring of web services.

Everyday sales items purchased online have almost doubled between the year 2006 and 2010 and it is expected that these figures will keep doubling by 2020. A few years back, E-commerce was not expected to be what is now. It is now clear that all businesses need to provide online services sooner or later to remain in the market. The same is true for mobile commerce.

In order to identify what businesses need to do to start their online presence, go over the background readings and any other elective readings you find useful. When you have read the articles listed in the background material and any other relevant reading you could find, imagine that you want take advantage of the Internet and communication technologies for your business. These include the tools, business strategies, and information security needed to orderly implement electronic and mobile commerce.

In addition, E-policies typically include: ethical computer use policy, information privacy policy, acceptable use policy, email privacy policy, Internet use policy, and anti-spam policy.

How can you evaluate your training to ensure that it is accomplishing your goals?

VIII Case Study

Congratulations! You have just become the safety manager for Podunk University. Your position is at the campus in Podunk, Colorado, and your predecessor left the job a year and a half ago. There has been nobody in the position during that interval. The commitment of the institution to safety is dubious at best, but you are looking forward to starting your new position and making a positive change. After introducing yourself to the secretary you share with a half dozen other, more senior, people, you decide to focus on hazardous material and hazardous waste issues since you just completed a great college course on those topics. You tour the campus and discover that the following departments and programs are yours to deal with:

The biology department has animal dissection, human dissection, a microbiology lab, and a medical laboratory education program that uses small quantities of a lot of chemicals.

The chemistry department has chemicals that have never been inventoried and a new forensics program (as in CSI, not in college debate).

The physics department has high-voltage equipment, lasers, and LEDs.

The English department has lots and lots of books and papers, as well as photocopiers.

The math department has lots of computers and whiteboards.

The automotive technology department has everything pertaining to auto repair, including solvents, asbestos brake linings, pneumatic tools, waste oil, and cutting and grinding tools.

The Massive Arena is one of the original buildings on campus and has a variety of interesting problems, including asbestos insulation, and the building is undergoing a massive renovation.

Respond to each of the following questions:

1. Where do you start?

2. Where should you focus your initial HazCom efforts? In what order do you tackle the rest of the departments?

3. What are the HazCom issues in the automotive technology department?

4. What are the hazardous waste issues in the automotive technology department?

5. What are the HazCom issues in the chemistry department?

6. What are the hazardous waste issues in the chemistry department?

7. With the Massive Arena renovation, who are the people to whom you need to communicate hazards?

8. What are your main concerns with the physics department?

9. What are the hazardous material/waste spill response issues for the university, and how should you prepare for them?

10. Is any HazCom training needed for the English and math departments?

11. What are some resources for finding out how to solve the HazCom issues?

12. You must choose technology or trainers to do the needed training. What are some issues to consider when selecting these?

13. Due to budget cuts, you have to do the training yourself, and you will use PowerPoint. What are some considerations when developing your PowerPoint Presentation?

14. How can you evaluate your training to ensure that it is accomplishing your goals?

15. One of the chemistry professors working with some of the automotive technology faculty members, invents a new nonflammable compound that will render obsolete the need for solvents to degrease auto parts. She wants to market the stuff. What needs to be done before it can be marketed, and who should do it?

16. The University decides to partner with the chemistry professor and market this new compound. Due to the lack of flammability, it is a great hit nationwide. They then decide to market it worldwide. What concerns need to be addressed?

17. It turns out that this wonderful new compound makes a really great explosion when used in conjunction with another chemical. As the University is manufacturing the compound in large quantities and storing it on the grounds, what concerns do you now have? What experts should you consult?

18. The biology department has been busy as well. The little microbiology lab is large now, and they are working with stronger pathogens.

How would you determine the new hazard communication requirements and things that you should do beyond that minimum?

After a tough five years, you have the Podunk University campus running smoothly. Everybody is trained, and your successor will not have nearly as much of a challenge as you did. Congratulations, and best wishes on your next challenge!

Explain how emotional responses may have contributed to the successful outcome of Chesley Sullenberger’s decisions in landing the plane.

Everyday Decision Making/Rational Choice in an Uncertain World/Emotional responses influence decision making. .

Due today Sunday in 8 Hours or so.. No excuses please.. I am in a bind..

Experimental research helps you understand what occurs in the real world. Research is valuable because it enables you to study in a controlled environment. However, some real-life experiences cannot be replicated in the laboratory. Sometimes an interesting situation occurs, and researchers study it after the fact because they cannot create the same situation again. Under such circumstances, researchers look back at actual real-life occurrences and create theories based on what they discover. In this Application, you look back at a situation that already has occurred and determine how factors related to everyday decision making can be applied.

The assigned articles and videos review a real-life situation about a pilot who made the decisions necessary to land a plan on the Hudson River safely.

To prepare for this assignment:

Review the articles, “Hero Pilot’s Records, IQ Scores Released by School District in ‘Accident'” and “Chesley Sullenberger, Hero: How a Veteran Pilot Pulled Off That Amazing Landing.” Focus on Chesley Sullenberger’s intelligence.

Review the article, “The Hero of Flight 1549,” and the associated video clips. Think about which decision-making models that you learned fit into this incident.

You may also use the internet to research Chesley Sullenberger’s experience with Flight 1549.

Consider how potential emotional responses impacted Chesley Sullenberger’s decisions that resulted in his successfully landing the plane on the Hudson River.

The assignment (2 pages): APA (Cited resources including cited within written assignment)

•Explain how emotional responses may have contributed to the successful outcome of Chesley Sullenberger’s decisions in landing the plane. Be specific.

•Based upon what you know about the impact of emotional responses on decision making, explain how the outcome might have been different if Chesley Sullenberger was a less experienced pilot and why. Be specific.
