“Why  do we need to understand data visualisations? There is more and more  data around us, and data are increasingly used in decision-making,  journalism, and to make sense of the world. One of the main ways that  people get access to data is through visualisations, but lots of people  feel like they don’t have the skills and knowledge to make sense of  visualisations. This can mean that some people feel left out of  conversations about data.” – http://seeingdata.org/developing-visualisation-literacy/

Choose three of your favorite visualizations. Post a 3 – 5 sentence summary (for each) of why you chose the visualizations.  What catches your attention? Are these visuals effective in presenting  the provided data? If possible, explain what you would do to improve the  visualization(s).

A.     What is the leadership paradox? Give some reasons why a leader can encounter difficulty in newly formed teams or groups using a participative management system. Support your discussion with at least two (2) external sources.

B.     Present a discussion of the strategies for encouraging participative management in the workforce, and how to implement each of these strategies. Support your discussion with at least two (2) external sources.

C.    What serious biases or misassumptions do groups that are involved in inter-team conflict sometimes experience? How do these biases and prejudices affect the ability of teams to accomplish their goals? Support your discussion with at least two (2) external sources.

The final portfolio project is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited). 

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (1-2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (1-2 pages):  One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 5-8 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 7-10 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 5-8 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA6 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, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles from the UC library 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.

Background:

Robotics, Group Decision Making, Collaborative Systems, and AI Support

Chapter 2 briefly introduced robotics, an early and practical application of concepts developed in AI. In this chapter 10, we present a number of applications of robots in industrial as well as personal settings. Besides learning about the already deployed and emerging applications, we identify the general components of a robot. In the spirit of managerial considerations, we also discuss the impact of robotics on jobs as well as related legal issues.The focus in this chapter is on physical robots, not just software-driven applications of AI.

In chapter11, several topics related to group decision support and collaboration were covered. People work together, and groups (or teams) make many of the complex decisions in organizations. The increase in organizational decision-making complexity drives the need for meetings and group work. Supporting group work in which team members may be in different locations and working at different times emphasizes the important aspects of communications, computer-mediated collaboration, and workplace methodologies. Group support is a critical aspect of decision support systems (DSS). Effective computer-supported group support systems have evolved to increase gains and decrease losses in task performance and underlying processes. New tools and methodology are used to support teamwork. These include collective intelligence, crowdsourcing, and different types of AI. Finally, human–machine and machine–machine collaboration are increasing the power of collaboration and problem solving.

From our weekly chapter reading, digital preservation can be defined as the long-term, error-free storage of digital information, with means for retrieval and interpretation, for the entire time span the information is required to be retained.  Though this assessment holds true to the authors, business organizations continue to face significant challenges in meeting their LTDP needs, especially those organizations whose primary mission is to preserve and provide access to permanent records.

Looking at your identified industry for your paper, what considerations would have to be made in developing a long-term archival plan for a company within that industry?
