Assignment

This week’s journal article focuses on attribution theory and how it influences the implementation of innovation technologies. Two types of employee attributions are noted in the article (intentionality and deceptive intentionality), please review these concepts and answer the following questions:

Provide a high-level overview/ summary of the case study

Note how constructive intentionality impacts innovation implementations

Find another article that adds to the overall findings of the case and note how attribution-based perspective enhances successful innovation implementations. Please be explicit and detailed in answering this question.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research. Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.

The paper should meet the following requirements:

3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)

APA guidelines must be followed. The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise. Headings should be used to transition thoughts. Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

This assignment is due by 11:59pm EST on October 4, 2020.

IT Management Executive Brief

 

Assignment Content

  1. Imagine you are an IT manager at small retail organization that has a new owner. The new owner is from another industry and has expressed a lack of understanding of some of the controls and processes important to IT management and governance. You must help the new owner with understanding these important concepts.

    Write a 2- to 4-page executive brief in which you:

    • Discuss how the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act has affected IT governance, including the major provisions of the act and how this might affect IT, and how IT might assist in compliance.
    • Discuss how IT policies, standards, and procedures can be used to determine if the enterprise is in compliance and support the IT strategy.
    • Discuss how Quality Management Systems (QMS) are important to ensure quality processes are in place.
    • Discuss how IT management and monitoring of controls can be used to assess IT performance.
    • Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

      Submit your assignment.

Fundamentals of Software Project Management

Q1

A software house has been asked to develop a simple web system based on a three-tier archi tecture (and a client-server architecture) for mobile banking. The system allows bank account holders to:

1. Check the current account balance

2. Show the list of the last five transactions

3. Pay into another bank account up to £500 per day if funds are available

The SW project manager has decided that each of the above requirements would correspond to a specific software component that represents a partition of the three-tier architecture into various modules, each with its own GUI, its own portion of business logic, and its own set of SQL queries to the external bank database. The project manager would like to use an Agile approach and thus needs to estimate the ‘size’ of each such component.

a）Consider the above web-based system specification. Discuss a rough size estimation approach expressed as integer points, assigning to the simplest requirement (and to the corresponding component) a unit point and expressing the other requirements (and components) as integer multiples of the simplest one.

b）Consider the above web-based system specification. Discuss how to schedule devel opment in terms of the envisaged software architectural patterns (i.e., in terms of the development sequence of system layers).

Q2

Consider a computerised burglar alarm equipped with a range of sensors that detect out-of normal environment conditions. For instance, movement detectors are used by this system to check whether an intruder is in a house. Once some suspicious movement is identified, the computer raises an alarm. Discuss the most suitable architectural pattern(s) upon which the design of the above system should be based.

need answer

 Tom, Jan, and Julie are IS majors at Great State University. These students have been assigned to a class project by one of their professors, requiring them to develop a new Web-based system to collect and unique information on the IS program’s alumni. This system will be used by the IS graduates to enter job and address information as they graduate, and then make changes to that information as they change jobs and/or address. Their professor also has a number of queries that she is interested in being able to implement. Based on their preliminary discussions with their professor, the students have developed this list of system elements: Inputs: 1 low complexity, 2 medium complexity, 1 high complexity. Outputs: 4 medium complexity. Queries: 1 low complexity, 4 medium complexity, 2 high complexity. Files: 3 medium complexity. Program interfaces: 2 medium complexity. Assume that an adjusted project complexity factor of 1.2 is appropriate for this project. Calculate the total adjusted function points for this project. 

Awareness

 discusses situational awareness. Much of the security efforts of the past have been centered around prevention and protection. The increasing sophistication of cyber attacks have shown that no controls are 100% effective, and some compromises do occur. There is a rising realization that in addition to considering prevention and protection, controls that address detection and response are necessary to improve security posture. Please describe how situational awareness is a driver for detection and response controls.

 

To complete this assignment, you must do the following:

  As indicated above, describe how situational awareness is a driver for detection and response controls.
