Week 7 discussionMany experts in research design return to the importance of interpreting the findings of a research project. Complete these tasks for this week’s discussion:Explain two reasons why this is an essential element in a high-quality research report.Then, discuss two benefits of examining and understanding the intrinsic meaning of the data.Lastly, explain three disadvantages of going too far beyond the scope of the data.
Reflect on how technology has created new opportunities for edgework in the U.S. Discuss an example of the gig economy not listed within the chapter as well as an example of how technology has changed opportunities for underground economies. In both cases, what are the consequences for social deviance? 500 words
edgework– Work that incorporates a level of voluntary risk-taking activities which may be unexceptable in other work sections. The notion of voluntary risk is also about exploring the edges that exist along social boundaries.

KIN 156 – Final Paper
Webster’s Dictionary defines “Appreciation” as
: a feeling of being grateful for something
: an ability to understand the worth, quality, or importance of something : an ability to appreciate something
: full awareness or understanding of something
And “Sport” as:
: a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete against each other
: a physical activity (such as hunting, fishing, running, swimming, etc.) that is done for enjoyment
Comment on each of the following topics. Write 3 paragraphs for each topic (intro, body, conclusion). Paper is not to exceed 4 pages.
Topic 1. What does “Sports Appreciation” mean to you? After several weeks of classes during which we have covered a relatively few number of the possible topics in sport, what have you taken from that time we have spent together about how sport is so ingrained in our society.
Topic 2. How does sport affect you? Family, friends, coworkers, are all in some way affected by sport. An entire section of most newspapers is devoted to it. Many of us pass straight by the front news section and go directly to the sports page pouring over every article, picture, and stat…often never reading a word from that front section.
Topic 3. What is it about sport that you appreciate more now then you did prior to the beginning of class? You may have learned about a sport you knew nothing of before. You may have learned about what some athletes/coaches think about as they are training for competition. You may have learned about how sport changed our spirits during difficult political times. You may have learned about the enjoyment, inspiration, or some other feeling sport can bring to humans. What do you appreciate now about sport that you did not prior to taking this class?
Topic 4. The last video watched ‘Sports In America – Our Defining Stories” had in it many examples of how sport has touched people. What did you learn from it?
Now, sit back and think about some of those questions and what you appreciate about sport.
Put your thoughts down into a paper that is a maximum of four pages in length. If you wish to pull some information from the internet or any other source and include it, do so but make sure that you cite the source of information. Support each question with at least one (1) item from the course material. For each Topic, you need to include separate introduction and close out each Topic out with a conclusion.
This week your rotation assignment takes you to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
An external audit of the company’s financial operations has just been completed. Last week, an “early look” copy of the audit was sent to the CFO with a request for a formal written response for each of the findings. Some of the problem areas were known to the CFO’s staff and they were already working on the required responses. But, there is one set of findings that came as a complete surprise — Shadow IT — the unauthorized / unapproved use of cashless payment technologies by certain locations and offices within the company. These technologies included:
1. Micro payments using a payment card issued by guest services to hotel guests and via unattended vending machines to visitors. These payment cards are loaded with a cash value deposited to the card’s account via a credit card charge. Guest services also credits some of these payment card accounts with “reward dollars” for guests who belong to the hotel’s affinity program. The payment cards are used at service locations which do not have a cashier station. e.g. game arcade, self-service laundry or sales kiosk, etc. The payments are processed by a third party service provider which then uses an electronic funds transfer to pay the hotel its share of the income.
2. Mobile Payments for services booked through the concierge desk with an authorized but independent provider (not a hotel employee). These services include: private lessons with a tennis or golf pro, childcare, tours and tour guides, interpreters, etc. These payments are made by cell phone either as a mobile payment using a contactless payment system such as Apple Pay or by swiping a credit card through a magnetic stripe reader connected to the provider’s cell phone. The payment accounts which receive the guests’ payments are connected to the hotel’s merchant card accounts. The hotel pays the providers monthly via electronic deposit and issues an IRS Form 1099 to record the income.
The CFO must make a presentation to the IT Governance board about these payment systems as a first step towards either getting approval for continued use or issuing a “cease and desist” directive to force the rogue offices and locations to stop using the unapproved payment systems. The presentation must include information about known or suspected compliance issues for PCI-DSS. The IT Governance board has previously asked project sponsors for information about potential privacy and security issues.
Due to the size and complexity of the problem, the CFO has split the available staff into two teams. Team #1 will focus on the micro payment cards. Team #2 will focus on the mobile payment systems. You have been asked to join one of these two teams and assist with their research. (Note: you *must* pick one and only one of the two technologies to focus on for your discussion paper this week.)
Your team leader has asked you to read the provided background information (see the Week 7 readings) and then put together a 2 page summary of the important points from your readings. You have also been asked to help identify and describe / explain 5 or more privacy and security issues that could arise in conjunction with the use of the technology being studied by your team. Remember to keep your focus on the financial aspects of the technology implementation since you are contributing to the CFO’s effort. (Financial aspects include how payments are made, what types of information are exchanged and with whom, how that information is protected, etc.)
