Analysis of a Current Events article.

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a current events article (i.e., only one) that you may choose from any online current periodical, trade magazine, or other electronic publication about a global digital ethical issue. While this assignment will increase your knowledge in that subject area from a corporation viewpoint and enable you to analyze digital ethical issues of a current GLOBAL situation or event, it will also help enhance your research and writing skills, as well as your critical-thinking abilities.
 
You start by selecting one current IT related online article (2015 sources or later) about a global ethical issue. You will want to note that this assignment is not a general essay about the topic selected, it must be about the current event article selected. In addition, while articles from journals may be of interest, they are ultimately too long and involved for this assignment – it is best to find an article from the World Wide Web.  Provide the source citation that is in compliance with the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting rules, as well as the persistent URL that is clickable (one that anyone can click on to re-access the original article).
The following elements must be addressed:
 

  • Summarize the whole article by all of its key or salient points. It may help if you use bullets to note the salient points of the article, as you read through it. A summary is desired, not just the “thrust’ of the article.
  • Analyze the multi-national and global aspects of the article – what is the impact or what is the importance of the information in the article?
  • Determine three critically important questions you would like to address to the author regarding the article – you are not expected to answer the questions!

Use APA formatted source citations for all sources utilized, in your reference list.  Remember, as a minimum, the source citation for your article must be included along with a clickable URL. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate writing mechanics, good organization, and proper business-writing style.

project charter

 
In Assignment 1, you have defined the objectives of the project in terms of a problem which it solves or an opportunity on which it capitalizes. You have also created a Scope Statement (or Statement of Work) which outlines the basic components of the project. It is now the time to create a charter, have it approved by the sponsor / client, and with charter in hand, start the planning process. First, a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is created followed by a project plan / network.
 
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you will:
 
Discuss the value of a project charter and, based on your research, include an outline of the components which you deem necessary for your project. Note: You do not need to write a charter.
Specify the stakeholders for the project, and analyze the position of each for the project, in terms of their influence, as well as their attitude toward the project (i.e., positive, neutral, or negative).
Create a WBS for your project using the proper format (MS Word, MS Excel, Visio, or any other applicable format) to depict WBS graphically (see the example on page 110 of the textbook). Alternatively, you may use a coded format using MS Word (see example on page 115. The example is in MS Project format but the same could be done in MS Word).
Create a project plan / network using the proper format (MS Word, MS Excel, or any other applicable format) to depict the project network (example on page 173). Be sure that all typical components on a project network are included, and critical path is properly depicted.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
 
Develop a project plan including the critical elements of project scope, priorities, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), and communication plan.
Formulate a WBS using principles of project scheduling and budgeting, and develop cost and time estimates and allocate resources.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in project management.
Write clearly and concisely about project management using proper writing mechanics.

supply chain

It is important to understand all of the functions within a particular supply chain. Although most supply chains do have similar functions, the structure and elements can vary greatly. Therefore, it is important for you to not only be able to identify the various functions within a supply chain, but also how these connect and are managed.
This week, you will add 2 additional sections to your Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal. The first will detail the various functions that are in typical supply chains and what functions are in the supply chain of the company you have chosen to study. The second part will explain third-party logistics services (3PLs), whether the company you have chosen uses 3PLs, and how 3PLs would or do benefit the company you chose to study.
Part 1
Create Section 3 of your Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal: Organizations and Functions.

  • Describe and discuss the various organizations and functions within the supply chain.

Part 2
Create Section 4 of your Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal: Third-Party Logistics (3PL).

  • Explain how 3PL services are used in your company and how these could be or are used to improve the supply chain for your chosen company.

Your instructor will provide feedback. Use this feedback to improve your plan and prepare your final Supply Chain Process Improvement Proposal.
