Computerized Operating Systems

Topic: Computerized Operating Systems (OS) are almost everywhere. We encounter them when we use our laptop or desktop computer. We use them when we use our phone or tablet. Find articles that describe the different types of operating systems (Linux, Unix, Android, ROS, z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, etc). Do not select MS WINDOWS. Write a scholarly review of comparing any two or more OS; attach a copy of the article to your postings. Remember, this assignment is to be scholarly; it is not enough for you to simply post your article and add cursory reviews. Cited references are required. In addition, you must read the postings of the other students and comment significantly on those areas. Please see Discussion Forum of the class syllabus for additional details on content.

The primary goal for the discussion forum assignment is to simulate the free sharing of ideas among peers that are typically experienced in graduate courses delivered in the more traditional, face-to-face environment. Evaluating a student’s performance on the assignment is not, therefore, very concrete. There are a number of factors that impact the quality of a student’s participation. The content of the contributions is, of course, one rather obvious factor, but the context in which the contributions have been made is equally important. In evaluating performance on this assignment, the following factors will be considered: Add value to the content of the discussion by posting well-written, on-topic contributions. Share resources with others by providing support for your contributions in the form of citations from the literature. Promote peer-to-peer discourse by initiating one quality major topic of discussion and actively participating throughout the period of the forum with at least 4 quality engagement postings. Responses should follow student’s major topics of discussion thread – responding to postings of others in a timely manner (within 72 hours). Each contribution (threads and replies) is expected to be thought-provoking and critical (i.e. “While a database is sometimes considered to consist of a large single site repository, researchers have suggested…” and not simplistic (i.e. “Yes, I agree” or “Thanks for …”). Please see the class syllabus for specific grading details. No attachments, please.

The initial post should be a minimum of 500 words, and each response should be 150 words each.

Delta Pacific Case Study

You now have been tasked with mapping out an organizational culture change Delta Pacific Company (DPC), another role and responsibility as a change leader for the organization. It’s important to have a change plan set before the change actually occurs. This is for a few reasons:

  • Increases the probability of success
  • Enables you to weigh options
  • Provides knowledge so you can make an informed decision
  • Allows for proper identification of the change and steps needed
  • Allows for identification of what might occur during the change

Since you are the change leader, your first step is to map the change using a change management model. You are aware of the extensive change the organization is undertaking with a shift in production to consulting. However, profitability has still declined even with training and resources in place.

As the change leader, select one of the change management models and map out the organization’s goal of changing the culture from the more traditional manufacturing environment to one of a contemporary consulting environment.

Conduct academic research and create a proposal to the CEO and board in which you complete the following for approval of the change plan:

  • Explanation for why the change model being used is most effective for this change.
  • Description of the change map to include details for each step.
  • Examples of what to expect during the change process.
  • Explanation for each of your recommendations in each step of the change model.
  • Remember that this is a proposal. Make sure to format your paper properly for your proposal. A proposal is a persuasive document, so make sure to use proper language and tone. Remember, you are the change leader and you are writing to the CEO. So use a tone in your proposal that is specific to your audience (the CEO).

Include your APA-formatted reference page with at least two credible sources.

A note about credible sources: Credible sources are reliable, accurate, and trustworthy. These sources are written by authors respected in their fields of study. You want to identify sources where the author of the article is listed if they’ve referenced other information. The sources should be cited so that you can check for the accuracy of, and support, what they have written.

Assignment 2: New Supervisor Training on Performance Evaluations Due in Week 6 and worth 300 points Now that the position has been created, you’ve taken the opportunity to create a PowerPoint presentation to train new supervisors on how to conduct performance evaluations.

The PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides with graphics and Notes Pages. NOTE: One of the positions the new supervisors will be conducting performance evaluations on is the job in your description from Week 3.

This is where you explain in detail the thoughts you want to convey in each slide, only in more depth. • Visually appealing: graphics (required) should be appropriate for the environment and audience.
