Knowledge Management

Carefully review and use either of the book options below as a reference for various aspects of knowledge management.

• Sharda, R., Delen, D., & Turban, E. (2015) Business intelligence and analytics: Systems for decision support (10th ed.). Boston: Pearson. Print: ISBN-13: 978-0-13-305090-5
• Sharda, R., Delen, D., & Turban, E. (2020) Analytics, data science, & artificial intelligence: Systems for decision support (11th ed.). Boston: Pearson. Print: ISBN-13: 978-0-13-519201-6
• Important Note:  All students are welcome to use outside research in aspects of knowledge management.

After reading and analyzing content from book references and or from outside research, consider respond to the task and case below.

Make a list of all the knowledge management methods you use during your day (work and personal). Which are the most effective? Which are the least effective? What kinds of work or activities does each knowledge management method enable?

Now think about methods to communicate this knowledge using various methods of communications in major work environments and investigate the impact of turning off every communication system in a firm (i.e., telephone, fax, television, radio, all computer systems). How effective and efficient would the following types of firms be: airline, bank, insurance company, travel agency, department store, grocery store? What would happen? Do customers expect 100 percent uptime? (When was the last time a major airline’s reservation system was down?) How long would it be before each type of firm would not be functioning at all? Investigate what organizations are doing to prevent this situation from occurring.

Describe an instance of plagiarism or other use of another’s intellectual property with which you are familiar. Please give one argument condemning this conduct and one argument defending it. 

Response should be in 450 words. Please add references in APA fomrat.

What are the common challenges with which sentiment analysis deals? What are the most popular application areas for sentiment analysis? Why?

300 words and 3 reference in APA

 Use the web or other resources to research at least two criminal or civil cases in which  recovered files played a significant role in how the case was resolved. 

Paper Section 1: Reflection and Literature Review

Using Microsoft Word and Professional APA format, prepare a professional written paper supported with three sources of research based on what you have learned from chatpers 5 and 6.  This section of the paper should be a minimum of two pages. 

Paper Section 2:  Applied Learning Exercises

In this section of the professional paper, apply what you have learned from chapters 5 and 6 to descriptively address and answer the problems below.  Important Note:  Dot not type the actual written problems within the paper itself.

1. Examine how new data-capture devices such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags help organizations accurately identify and segment their customers for activities such as targeted marketing. Many of these applications involve data mining. Scan the literature and the Web and then propose five potential new data mining applications that can use the data created with RFID technology. What issues could arise if a country’s laws required such devices to be embedded in everyone’s body for a national identification system?
2. Survey and compare some data mining tools and vendors. Start with fairisaac.com and egain.com. Consult dmreview.com and identify some data mining products and service providers that are not mentioned in this chapter. One of my favorites to explore is RapidMiner found at https://rapidminer.com/ and an educational license option can be found at:  https://rapidminer.com/educational-program/
3. Explore the Web sites of several neural network vendors, such as California Scientific Software (calsci.com), NeuralWare (neuralware.com), and Ward Systems Group (wardsystems.com), and review some of their products. Download at least two demos and install, run, and compare them.
4. Important Note:  With limited time for a college class, perfection is not expected but effort to be exposed to various tools with attempts to learn about them is critical when considering a career in information technology associated disciplines.

Important Note:  There is no specific page requirement for this section of the paper but make sure any content provided fully addresses each problem.

Paper Section 3:  Conclusions

After addressing the problems, conclude your paper with details on how you will use this knowledge and skills to support your professional and or academic goals. This section of the paper should be around one page including a custom and original process flow or flow diagram to visually represent how you will apply this knowledge going forward.  This customized and original flow process flow or flow diagram can be created using the “Smart Art” tools in Microsoft Word.

Paper Section 4:  APA Reference Page

The three or more sources of research used to support this overall paper should be included in proper APA format in the final section of the paper.

Paper Review and Preparation to submit for Grading

Please make sure to proof read your post prior to submission. This professional paper should be well written and free of grammatical or typographical errors. Also remember not to plagiarize

 Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 300–500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Quantitative research questions use the scientific method to answer and, therefore, each research question has two associated hypotheses.

• What are the differences between research questions and hypotheses?
• What key information needs to be included in quantitative research questions and hypotheses?
• Provide an example of one quantitative research question and its two associated hypotheses.

 This is a required assignment worth 15 points (15-points/1000-points). Assignment must be submitted by the due date. No late assignments are allowed. Please discuss the following topics and provide substantive comments to at least two other posts. Select from the following list four (4) topics and discuss. Use only 50-words max per topic to discuss and present your answer.  The discussion questions this week are from Chapter 8   (Jamsa, 2013).Chapter 8 topics:

• Define and describe virtualization.
• Defend the following statement: Virtualization is not a new concept within computer science.
• Describe the various types of virtualization.
• List the pros and cons of virtualization.
• Discuss the attributes of applications that are not well suited for virtualization.
• List reasons why companies should virtualize.
• List the benefits of blade servers.
• Define and describe the hypervisor.
• Define and describe green computing.
• Describe the concept of the desktop on demand, and include the benefits of such a system.

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions. 

   Write one page about POSIX Threads (pthreads), what they are and how they work?

If you have you been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure. If you have not yet been involved with a business process redesign, research a company that has recently completed one and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and how the company could have done a better job minimizing the risk of failure.

• Be approximately 4-6 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

At UC, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own careers. 

Assignment: Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double-spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study
