Description MIS for Life: Module 7 A Connected World A career in technology, particularly Internet technology, will require constant learning. It is not just new technologies, but even existing ones evolve such that standards may change even while you are learning them! An excellent example is web presentation technologies. From the humble beginnings of HTML Version 1.0, the richness of the media that we are able to consume online has continued to increase. How do we keep up with the constant change? One way is to find helpful websites that are being actively maintained and enhanced. For those that prefer to learn by experimenting, a “REPL” site is particularly useful. REPL was popularized by the programming language Python and stands for Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop. Essentially, it is a type of scratchpad that allows you to learn new languages by experimentation by providing a simplified development environment in the browser. There are many free sites that provide this functionality but two good ones are quackit.com and replit.com. Explore the sites above and take note of any helpful developer resources that you see. Don’t rush through the review, both sites have great resources, particularly replit.com. Also, be sure to spend some time experimenting with the HTML scratchpad functionality they support. Using the HTML scratchpad, write a summary post about a helpful resource that you found on the site. Be creative and explore ways to make your post stand out using HTML and CSS. When finished, copy and paste your post, (HTML included). Your post should be minimum of 100 words not counting any HTML or CSS source.

Description This is supposed to be based on the Research topic you did. Initially, your RT was not approved ( and I lost marks) by the Prof so I had to make a lot of changes. I will attach the revised Research topic here as well. You will find the instructions for the research proposal in a file as well. Some tips given by the prof: Stay within 5 pages for this assignment.  That is, for the body of your assignment. All attachments are not included in this 5-page limit, and these attachments include Title Page, Table of Contents, Reference List, and Appendices. Your suggested primary research tools are a huge part of this assignment.  Ensure sufficiently thought-out and prepared, and attached as an Appendix.  The better these are prepared, the better your grade. Remember the objective of your RP is to get funding and final approval to proceed with your research. Be strategic.  Be purposeful.  Be persuasive.  Be positive.   Use positive Plain Language. Write concisely, clearly, and informatively.  No repetition. Likely, the most important parts of any Report/Proposal are the beginning and ending.  Get reader's attention with your opening. Here are more TIPS for Proposal Writing: Use a fairly formal writing style. No contractions and no slang. Do NOT use I or you or me or we. Write in 3rd-person. Use headings as suggested by RP instructions. No acronyms, unless firstly introduced and explained. Be concise, clear, and easy to read. Your Proposal should be self-explanatory.  That is, easily understood by the reader. Get off to a good start - perfect your Title Page. Follow with your Table of Contents.  Refer to your textbook and properly perfect. Ensure your audience/reader/corrector understands your topic. Make sure opening contains sufficient information to explain the problem clearly and concisely. Don't be brief, when detail is needed.  Otherwise, keep your writing tight. Conclusion cannot contain new data or information. Avoid poorly constructed sentences and paragraphs.  Lean towards shorter sentences that are clear and concise, and easily understood. Avoid awkwardly wordy sentence structure.   Check and recheck spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typos. Proof Final Revision from hardcopy. This is the feed back I recieved for the Previous RT, I had shared this with you previously as well, pls keep this feedback in mind for the current one as well.  I am not sure I properly understand your proposed Topic.     Avoid using it, and especially, do not start a sentence with it. Reads like AI. Your Topic is not approved for your next assignment, your RP.  You will need to see me to discuss a new Topic, or at least focus and re-define this Topic.  Are you using MUN & CNA?  You seem hesitant or unsure. Sampling size is a specific assignment requirement, but not included.  I suggest at least 5,000+ student participants, and from each institution.  You do want your research to be meaningful, and without bias. Your research methods and methodology are poorly explained.  Both require clarity, focus, and more explanation. You should of at least proposed timing.  Keep your writing super tight.  Ensure you edit out surplus, cliches, and unnecessary phrases.  See my scratches. You have written in 3rd-person. Avoid negative words, such as, but, not, and many more.  Refer to textbook Reference Chapter A.

Description General indications for your mini-research You can choose a company that you predict will do well or badly in the medium to long term, and which therefore could experience significant increases or decreases in the value of its shares. You could choose it by taking a look at the main megatrends, or other considerations that you might consider valid, also in relation to what we examined in class. Your mini-research can be relatively short (roughly speaking, 3-4 pages of a Word document, or around 5 Power Point slides; however, choose the length you prefer; slides are better if you want to present it in class, otherwise you can choose slides or a word document and send it to me before the end of our Spring Semester). Using internet, you could find many companies you could focus on. Here-below, one of the many possible lists showing interesting companies that are often considered good possible picks for possible investments (of course, not all analysts would agree ...). As we said in class, you can also find on Moodle a short and quick reference to some interesting megatrends you could consider/mention when you carry out your research Picking stocks for possible mid-long term portfolio investments NOVO NORDSIK Pharmaceutical sector Copenhagen CAMECO Uranium/Nuclear Wall Street MICROSOFT Tech Wall Street ASML HOLDING Semiconductors Amsterdam TSMC Semiconductors Taiwan ATLAS COPCO Industrial tools and techniques Stockholm STANTEC Design and consulting Constr.

Description hey hey,In Project One: Applying Strategic and Operational Thinking, you prepared Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the marketing and sales departments of your product line. Now, the CEO has provided you with a revised set of KPIs. You need to apply these KPIs toward the analysis of a proposed marketing and sales initiative to increase loyalty card memberships in neighborhoods with predominantly low-income populations, whether the populations are in rural, suburban, or city locations. The CEO wants this analysis so that she can chart the sustainability and growth of the initiative while assuring it meets standards for Corporate Social Responsibility. The CEO has provided you with several documents, available in the Supporting Materials section of this project. She wants you to use the provided Triple Bottom Line Balanced Scorecard to assess the strategic plan’s compliance with the KPIs and summarize your findings in a memo. Directions Complete the following to provide the analysis required by the CEO: Identify the financial records that indicate commitment to TBL. Using the TBL scorecard, evaluate the alignment of the strategic plan with KPIs. Remember, there may be multiple outcomes of this exercise. Your focus should be to apply your understanding of the scenario and evaluate the plan accordingly. Which ideas in the plan support the KPI criteria? Cite specific ideas that meet the criteria. Describe how the TBL data relates to the KPIs. Identify which additional TBL financial line items are needed to measure the cost for each criterion. For example, should there be a line entry for hiring temporary workers? a.Outline which financial and other records marketing and sales maintains where TBL can provide data.

Description For each case, please attempt to answer each question with best effort possible. The cases do not aim to seek the correct answer but rather your approach and thought process towards tackling each question. Please outline any approach you have step by step with details as needed. Grading will not be focused on “correct answers” but evidence of applying insights as well as applying has been included in the supporting readings and videos. There will be detailed video review sessions available on the case post your submission. The review sessions provided after each case are key to the learning approach. Here a detailed overview of the case and various approaches will be outlined step by step so you get a chance to revise concepts. This post case series of videos will allow you to revisit your submission and build on your learnings. This is a key part of the process of getting each participant to dive into a real-world situation, try their best and with a post case review session, revise the case so learnings can be better entrenched. Good luck and remember the goal is not the correct answer but to highlight your thinking through the process and show the steps involved. Materials HBP Coursepack: Reading: Assets (pp. 5-22)  Reading: HBP Accounting for Current Assets   Case: Accounting for Assets at Tesla Please complete the following assignment questions below versus those in the case: How is Tesla different from a traditional motor manufacturer not just in terms of product but sales process to customers, manufacturing process, improvements in model or any other area you observe? What do you think if any are the strengths/weaknesses of Tesla as a business? Inventory: Examine the data on days inventory for Tesla for 2018 and 2019 in the spreadsheet/worksheet available for download. (Calculations have been completed for you for ease of reference). a. What information can you learn from days inventory? Does it make sense to separate out service parts from other types of inventory? Why? b. Looking at the data and spreadsheet, how well do you think Tesla is managing its inventory? What trends and patterns stand out to you if any? c. We can see from the decomposition that raw materials, WIP and service parts increased for the year, whereas finished goods decreased. What questions if any does this raise for you? d. What critical assumptions has TESLA made to value inventory? Does TESLA use FIFO or LIFO? Explain what is LCM (the lower of cost or market) and how this may impact inventory every year. e. What in general can be the potential impact on (a) value of inventory on hand with both methods (FIFO and LIFO) in a rising inflation environment) (b) potential impact on the IS? 3. Fixed assets are reported in the balance sheet as: Cost less accumulated depreciation. What information/components do we need to compute depreciation? Which of these components depend on management judgement? 4. Let’s take a look at depreciation expense for Tesla’s Machinery, equipment, vehicles, and office furniture in 2019. Below is an approach outlined: Depreciation expense for 2019 = ((6,329+7,167)/2)/7   = 6,748/7   = 964 Study this to understand the components and explore the exhibits and case to find the sources of input. Assumptions: The average life of this asset is 7 years (given the range of 2 to 12) The outlays of $838 (7167-6329) for new Machinery, equipment, vehicles, and office furniture were made halfway through the year. We are assuming that there is zero salvage value. If most of the assets are for specialized machinery and equipment, it is unlikely to have much value at the end of its useful life. A. How will the depreciation expense for 2019 of 964 above be reported: Is depreciation debited or credited by this? Is accumulated depreciation debited or credited by this? Complete this journal entry. Explain what a contra-asset is? Provide at least 2 examples of contra-assets. B. It seems straight line depreciation was used above to calculate the depreciation expense- many businesses choose this method. What other methods can be used? Make a case as a management leader for another method of depreciation other than straight line and use your knowledge of various approaches to build a best possible case for another method to be used? 5. What are intangible assets? Provide some examples? Why do you think Tesla has so few intangible assets?
