Blockchain

 Industry experts believe blockchain is a technology that has the potential to affect the business of most IT professionals in the next five years. Pick an industry you feel will be most affected by blockchain and how blockchain may be used in that industry. As an IT manager, how would you embrace blockchain? For instance, how would training occur for your team, what strategies might you use, what security methods may you recommend be used?Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Activity 6- Exe Proj

Case Study 6.1: Columbus InstrumentsThis case is based on a true story of a once-successful organization that had allowed its project management practices to degenerate to the point where assignment to a project team was often a mark of disfavor and a sign of pending termination.  The case involves issues of motivation, structural effects on projects, and project team staffing.  It offers students an opportunity to see how, if left unchecked, certain behaviors by department heads and others in the organization can work counter to the desires to use project teams to improve organizational profitability and instead make them a dumping ground for malcontents and poor performers.

Questions

  1. What are the implications of CIC’s approach to staffing project teams?  Is the company using project teams as training grounds for talented fast-trackers, or as dumping grounds for poor performers?
  2. How would you advise the CEO to correct the problem?  Where would you start?
  3. Discuss how issues of organizational structure and power played a role in the manner in which project management declined in effectiveness at CIC.

Project Description:

After graduating from college, you and three of your peers founded the software company TechStore Unlimited (TSU). TSU provides an online market place that fosters business to business (B2B), business to consumer (B2C), and consumer to consumer sales (C2C). As one of the company’s principal owners, you have decided to compile a report that details all aspects of the business, including: employee payroll, facility management, sales data, and product inventory. To complete the task you will duplicate existing formatting, import data from an Access database, utilize various conditional logic functions, complete an amortization table, visualize data with PivotTables and Power Maps, connect and transform several external data sources, and lastly you will inspect the workbook for issues.

     

Start   Excel. Open Exp19_Excel_AppCapstone_Comp.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

 

Fill the range A1:E1 from the   Employee_Info worksheet across all worksheets, maintaining the formatting.

 

Make the New_Construction   worksheet active and create Range Names based on the data in the range A6:B9.

 

Ungroup the worksheets and   ensure the Employee_Info worksheet is active. Click cell G6 and enter a   nested logical function that calculates employee 401K eligibility. If the   employee is full time (FT) and was hired before the 401k cutoff date 1/1/19,   then he or she is eligible and Y should be displayed, non-eligible employees should be indicated   with a N. Be sure to utilize the date   located in cell H3 as a reference in the formula. Use the fill handle to copy   the function down completing the range G6:G25.

 

Apply conditional formatting to   the range G6:G25 that highlights eligible employees with Green Fill with Dark   Green text. Eligible employees are denoted with a Y in column G.

 

Create a Data Validation list in   cell J7 based on the employee IDs located in the range A6:A25. Add the Input   Message Select Employee ID and use the Stop Style Error Alert. 

 

Enter a nested INDEX and MATCH   function in cell K7 that examines the range B6:H25 and returns the   corresponding employee information based on the match values in cell J7 and   cell K6. Note K6 contains a validation list that can be used to select   various lookup categories. Use the Data Validation list in cell J7 to select   Employee_ID 31461 and select Salary in cell K6 to test the   function.

 

Enter a conditional statistical   function in cell K14 that calculates the total number of PT employees. Use the range E6:E25   to complete the function.

 

Enter a conditional statistical   function in cell K15 that calculates the total value of PT employee salaries. Use the range   E6:E25 to complete the function.

 

Enter a conditional statistical   function in cell K16 that calculates the average value of PT employee salaries. Use the range   E6:E25 to complete the function.

 

Enter a conditional statistical   function in cell K17 that calculates the highest PT employee salary. Use the range E6:E25 to complete   the function.

 

Apply Currency Number Format to   the range K15:K17.

MySQL

  

1. use MySQL to create a database of information about used trucks for sale, similar to the cars database used in this chapter. Make up equipment that characterizes trucks. Get the raw data from the ad section of your local newspaper. Instead of using the states in the cars database, divide your town into four sections and use them.

2. Modify and test the program access_cars.php to handle UPDATE and INSERT SQL commands, as well as SELECT.
3. In a separate copy of the preceding work, add a textbox that doesn’t read a SQL statement but text that your database will look for the truck type into the textbox. Following will be links to the data with which you will work.

Assignment 1

title: “Assignment 1”

## Relations among Categorical Variables

In the notes on Healy’s Chapter 5, we looked at several ways to visualize the relationship between two categorical variables.

For this assignment you need to select a pair of cateogrical variables from a dataset which interests you. You could use one of the datasets I used in class, but you are free to pick anything.

## Problem 1

Identify the dataset you’ve chosen and the two categorical variables. Feel free to create a new categorical variable from an existing quantitative variable. Do a summary of the dataset and produce simple tables for each of the two variables. Make sure that you don’t have too many values. Collapse if necessary.

Don’t forget to include library commands for all of the packages you need.

“`{r}

# Place your code in this chunk.

glimpse(organdata)

## Problem 2

Select the visualization of the relationship that you feel is the best and produce it.

“`{r}

# Place your code here.

“`

library(ggplot2)

p <- ggplot(data = organdata,

            mapping = aes(x = reorder(country, donors, na.rm=TRUE),

                          y = donors))

p + geom_bar() +

  labs(x=NULL) +

  coord_flip()

## Problem 3

What is your second-choice visualization? Don’t forget to explain why you prefer the first choice over the second choice.

“`{r}

# Place your code in this chunk.

“`

library(ggplot2)

p <- ggplot(data = organdata,

            mapping = aes(x = reorder(country, donors, na.rm=TRUE),

                          y = donors))

p + geom_boxplot() +

  labs(x=NULL) +

  coord_flip()

I prefer the first visualization to the second one because it is easier to read and interpret the relationship between data

## Problem 4

Based on your visualizations describe what you see. Assume that you are speaking to a blind person.

Just write your comments here.

With the selected visualization, we can tell the level of organ donations in different countries. Since the visualization for every country is placed side by side, comparison of how organs have been donated across different countries becomes easiert.
