How does the environmental landscape for businesses differ now compared to the time in 2003?

Information Systems for Business and Beyond Questions:

• Chapter 13– study questions 1-10, Exercise 1, 2, & 4

Directions

Please solve four (4) programming problems related to the content presented in Chapter 11 in your text. You can find the programming problems in the attached file (Module 4 Programming Problems Worksheet.docx (Links to an external site.)).

• Download the worksheet and save it as Mod4-Worksheet-Programming-Last-First.docx. For example, Mod4-Worksheet-Programming-Smith-John.docx.
• Consider the problem, design an algorithm (or algorithms) that would solve the problem, and then implement the algorithm in Java.
• Create a new folder and name it as Mod4-Java-Programming-Last-First, for example, Mod4-Java-Programming-Smith-John.
• Write the source code for each problem and save them as .java files in the folder you created. There are four programming problems for this module so you should have four .java files. Name your java files as Mod4Problem#.java, for example, Mod4Problem1.java.
• Please insert the algorithm written in pseudocode as a comment in the beginning of your program.
• Take screenshots of your running program – you can take screenshots using PrintScreen or any tool that you are familiar with, making sure that the console window in which you run the program appears on the screen.
• Copy the screenshots in the worksheet. If your program has different outcomes, take screenshots of each variation.

Submission

• Compress the folder that saves all of your java files as .zip file. Please note don’t save the worksheet in the same folder as they need to be submitted separately.
• Submit the following two files as attachments by clicking the Submit Assignment button above.

Assignment 1 (20 points)

CONTEXTUAL THINKING ABOUT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS

This exercise involves you using imagination and logical reasoning to occupy the mindset of a visualiser facing the task of formulating a brief for different scenarios. Imagine you are given the challenge of creating a visualisation/infographic in each of the following made-up scenarios relating to the subject of Oil Spills. 

Scenario A: A broadsheet newspaper reporting on the regions and communities affected by oil spills

Scenario B: Analysts at the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) providing business intelligence reporting to support operational colleagues

Scenario C: Presentation to shareholders of BP (British Petroleum) demonstrating the reduction in spill-related losses

Website reference: The International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) statistics page

Compile a document outlining your assumptions, definitions and ideas about the context and vision for each of the scenarios presented above. Get into the mindset of the potential creators and audiences. If you were them what do you think you might be faced with in terms of requirements, constraints, needs and possibilities? 

(Context) CURIOSITY: Outline what you think might be the essence of the trigger curiosity behind each scenario?

(Context) CIRCUMSTANCES: Work through the list shared in the book of the main circumstantial headings and list or describe your creative and critical judgment about the inevitable, assumed, or self-defined factors you think might be relevant or existent in each scenario. Consider the reasons behind your judgments

(Context) PURPOSE: How might you describe or articulate what you imagine the purpose of the work associated with each scenario would be: how might success, impact or effectiveness be expressed and measured? What is the right kind of experience and tone of voice that would reflect the best fit creative direction (could be a singular location or a journey across the dimensions of the map).

(Vision) IDEAS: Sketch out your instinctive ideas about what you think the visual work for each scenario look’s like in your mind’s eye: what colours, forms, keywords, layouts, thoughts come to mind when you think about the subject at hand? What other work can you find through research or past experience that may offer inspiration, influence or reference for your thinking?

There is no need to do any data extraction or analysis, just use your imagination for what data could exist and could be available. There is no perfect answer, no right and no wrong: it is about using a degree of practical imagination and empathy (your ability to occupy the mindset of others). You will need to make many assumptions and take the initiative to define things yourself.
