Project implementation is arguably the most exciting stage of the project management process. It is during project implementation that project plans begin to come to life and assumptions are able to be tested and measured in real-life scenarios.

One of the outcomes of project implementation is a set of deliverables that typically includes a system diagram; a network diagram; a database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions; a clearly articulated cybersecurity plan; and source code.

To complete this assignment, you will create:

A system diagram that shows, in graphic form, the components of your project.
Your system diagram should follow the system description you submitted in your Week 2 project plan (but may differ based on the research you have conducted since Week 2).
You may create your system diagram in Microsoft PowerPoint or a graphics program of your choice.
A network diagram that shows, in graphic form, the flow of data within your project.
Your network diagram should follow the network description you defined in the Week 2 project plan (but may differ based on the research you have conducted since Week 2).
You may create your network diagram in Microsoft PowerPoint or a graphics program of your choice.
A database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions, representing all of the data that must be stored and maintained within the context of your project and how that data is organized.
A clearly articulated cybersecurity plan that explains how you plan to secure project data and processes.
Source code (may be partial) for at least one software application.
Your source code may be implemented in HTML/JavaScript, Java, C++, or another programming language.
Download and unzip the HTML/JavaScript/CSS sample code files for an example of a partial software application implementation.
A quality assurance and software test plan.
Download the Software Test Plan for an example of what information is typically included and how it is typically organized in a software test plan.

In November, Stan Richart, the vice-president in charge of the Smartphone Technologies Division, saw that making the current year’s target profit for his division was going to be very difficult. Among other actions, he directed that discretionary expenditures be delayed until the beginning of the new year. On December 30, he was angered to discover that a ­warehouse clerk had ordered $350,000 of smartphone parts earlier in December, even though the parts weren’t really needed by the assembly department until January or February. Contrary to common accounting practice, the General Electronics Inc. Accounting Policy Manual states that such parts are to be recorded as an expense when delivered. To avoid recording the expense, Richart asked that the order be cancelled, but the Purchasing Department reported that the parts had already been delivered and the supplier would not accept returns. Since the bill had not yet been paid, Richart asked the Accounting Department to correct the clerk’s mistake by delaying recognition of the delivery until the bill is paid in January.

Required:

Are Richart’s actions ethical? Explain why they are or are not ethical.
Do the general management philosophy and accounting policies at General Electronics encourage or discourage ethical behaviour? Explain.
