Chapter 5, Figure 5.1 is an illustration of the future state of practice of systems modeling and simulation.  With this mind, the adoption of recent, current and expected innovations could result in the future of the art of systems modeling.  From this illustration, we have learned that it would be possible to simultaneously use multiple hypotheses to achieve different goals that could include the search for deeper understanding and policy insights, experimentation in virtual laboratories, future oriented-explorations, robust policy design, and robustness testing under deep uncertainty.  

Q1: From the assessment by the authors, what are the main advantages of using multiple models? Briefly explain.

· Identify and name the advantages of using multiple models

· provide a clear narrative to support your responses.

You have set up a website for the employees to provide feedback to the proposed changes; the results of this survey are stored in the file EthicsSurvey.csv. Your boss wants to use the survey results to find out what the greatest concerns in terms of ethical implications are for the employees, so you are asked to do the following: 

■ Complete the spreadsheet to include descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, mode, minimum, maximum, and range) for each survey item. Use formulas to calculate all statistics for the responses to the individual questions.  (Hint: In Microsoft Excel, you can look up the necessary formulas in the category “Statistical”; you will have to calculate the ranges yourself.)

 ■ Make sure to professionally format the pages before submitting them to your instructor. 

Why do you think that the term ‘worldview’ is important to our study of intercultural communication? Do we need this concept? Does it help advance or clarify our understanding of cultures?  How does this concept affect the way we communicate with others?

Key Terms:

• Multiparty Negotiation
• Haggling in Negotiation

As the new communications manager for International Gadgets, you have assembled a team of technical communicators with experience in communicating with various audiences in a business setting. Research & Development (R&D) has created a new product that it believes will revolutionize the industry. But the department needs the buy-in of several levels of the corporation to launch the new product. First, upper management needs to understand the product and how it will help the company expand before it will approve the funding needed to mass-produce the product. Sales and Marketing need to understand the product so it can be properly marketed. Technical Support needs to thoroughly know the product in order to support it to the customer base. And all employees need to know as much about the product as possible so that they can build excitement about the proposed launch. The head of R&D has come to you for your help in building excitement and buy-in throughout the company for the new product. Create a memo to your team that discusses the following:

• The possible channels of communication that can be used to communicate information about the product to various levels of the company, and how they could be used
• Your suggestions for which channels will be appropriate for which audiences and why
• Plans for how your team will communicate and collaborate on this project for the purpose of choosing the best channels of communications for various audiences in the company

Back up your plans with solid reasoning and research.

Your company recently reviewed the results of a penetration test on your network. Several vulnerabilities were identified, and the IT security management team has recommended mitigation. The manager has asked you to construct a plan of action and milestones (POA&M) given that the following vulnerabilities and mitigations were identified:

• The penetration test showed that not all systems had malware protection software in place. The mitigation was to write a malware defense process to include all employees and retest the system after the process was implemented.
• The penetration test indicated that the data server that houses employee payroll records had an admin password of “admin.” The mitigation was to perform extensive hardening of the data server.
• The penetration test also identified many laptop computers that employees brought to work and connected to the internal network,some of which were easily compromised. The mitigation was to write a bring your own device (BYOD) policy for all employees and train the employees how to use their devices at work.

Complete the 1- to 2-page Plan of Action and Milestones Template.       (Must use this template!)
