Finance & Blockchain

Prepare an 8 page APA style paper using the resources you have read in this course and at least 3 additional peer reviewed resources. Follow the writing requirements for this course. Include an introduction and conclusion in the paper. This paper should address the following questions:

(1) Does Blockchain technology have the potential to cause a shift in financial business practices that many experts are predicting? Explain why or why not. Support your answer with research.

(2) Is there evidence to suggest that Blockchain technology will change the way finance is applied and practiced? If there is, discuss that evidence. If there is not, what issues exist that impede its adoption?

(3) Which functions of financial management could be most impacted by Blockchain technology? How might the financial functions change? Support your answer with research.

Course writing requirements:

References must be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.

Always include a cover page and reference page with all submissions (even initial discussion posts)

Provide the exact web link on the reference page citations for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the exact link – I check all sources

No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally

Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)

Write more than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned

As always, the word count is only for the body of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper

Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces

Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.

Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.

Discussion

Initial Post

There are countless graphs and charts to choose from when converting raw data into a visual format. For many, it can be difficult to decide whether to rely on a straightforward pie chart or bar graph or to opt for a more spatially complex chart type.

Two common questions we often hear are: “How do you know which graph to use?” and “How do you know which chart to use?” The answer, as always, depends on the nuances of your readership, including their experience level and familiarity with big data analytics.

Based upon your understanding of data visualizations, what are 5 Data Visualization pitfalls? What would you do to fix these pitfalls? How can you avoid making future mistakes in your own visualizations?

Discussion Length (word count): At least 250 words

Wireless Netwok 2

 

Case study: A publicly traded home builder has hired you to install a new wireless network. The company currently has a wireless network that is a few years old. The problem with the current wireless network is that it was built using proprietary standards instead of 802.11. This current wireless network does not have an upgrade path to 802.11.

On the new wireless network, the corporate office wants a system that allows construction workers to enter progress reports into the system in order to stay up-to-date with all the different community building sites. Each community has a model home that will need Wi-Fi to connect back to the corporate office in order to enter these reports. The construction workers will be using iPads to enter the information. The company currently has 32 sites across the country that will need Wi-Fi. 

In each of these sites, there will be two sales employees that will need to have Wireless IP Phones so that customers can get in touch with them easily. The sales employees will also have laptops, as well as two sales kiosks that allow customers to browse the different options to choose from for their new home build. The kiosks will connect to the Internet, and when the customer chooses their options, the information will be entered into a database. Once the customer chooses the options they want, the sales person will pull up the report on their laptops to print for the construction workers.   

Section one

Assignment Overview

Now that you have started to design a wireless network for your assigned institution, the requirements for the wireless network will be considered in the form of a Network Needs Analysis. 

All Case Studies

Directions: Refer back to the Design Document and complete the information in the “Network Needs Analysis” portion of the document. Consider the following when completing the “Network Needs Analysis” section:

Types of applications/services that will be used on the wireless network

Number of users the wireless network will have to support

Speed requirements for the wireless network

Estimate the load on the wireless network

Remember to address the needs of your assigned business setting when considering the requirements of the wireless network. While most businesses typically have the same setup, each individual institution has to be concerned about specific privacy issues, reliability, and security threats. Therefore, some additional research may need to be conducted for your assigned business.

  Section two

Assignment Overview

When installing a wireless network, there are many components to consider, such as access points’ routing, switching, and effects on their OSI model. In this assignment, students will explore the different elements that need to be taken into consideration before installing wireless access points. 

  

Directions: Write a report (1–2 pages) to the company administration that explains how the design of the wireless network will help to avoid congestion on the network, as well as what components that need to be considered when installing access points. Consider the following when preparing this assignment: 

1. The area in which the site is located may interfere with the wireless signal.

2. IP wireless phones must always be in service.

a. Explain how routing, switching, and the physical /transport layers are relevant to wireless IP phones.

3. Construction workers and sales team members always need the up-to-date information in the system (i.e., the options that the customer chooses have to be correct).

Cybersecurity Planning and Management Creating Company E-mail/WIFI/Internet Use Policies

  

You have just been hired as the Security Manager of a medium-sized Financial Services company employing 250 people in New Hampshire, and have been asked to write two new security policies for this company. The first one is an e-mail policy for employees concentrating on personal use of company resources. The second policy is that of WIFI and Internet use within the company.

There are many resources available on the web so researching these topics and policies should be easy. The most difficult part of this exercise will be determining how strict or how lenient you want to make these policies for this particular company.
