What are some things you need to think about when it comes to doing business globally, using a wireless mobile network?

/in /by

we looked at networks in general; however, in this discussion we’re looking at wireless networks, mostly focusing on mobile  networks.  Mobile networks in a global economy can be a challenge for  multiple reasons. First, governments in other countries control the  mobile networks.  Second is the technology.  Mobile networks in other  countries might not be as good as the mobile networks within the US.  As  a global company, how can we deal with this?  With a big push for 5G,  which has speeds well over 2Gbps, how does that change the way you do  business?  What are some things you need to think about when it comes to  doing business globally, using a wireless mobile network?

Interior Design

Learning about how to secure a job should be one of the most important topics in this class. This week we will only have one topic to research and discuss.

For those of you who may have already gone through a job search for professional careers, please share what you might feel could help with this topic.

TOPIC:  One of the most dreaded questions in a job interview is to tell about your greatest (career-wise) flaw or weakness.  Heads up, saying that you like to collect office supplies to take home is not the correct type of response for this question!  You need to take a “negative” and spin it into a “positive”.  Here’s an example that comes to my mind.  “I have such a passion/enthusiasm/dedication….for interior design that I find myself going through magazines, websites…..on my days off always seeing what’s current and getting new ideas.”

Requirements for this assignment:

Read the topic and then spin your own (either possible or real) negative into a positive.

Comment on a minimum of three classmates’ spins.

Visit sites such as monster.com, the ASID Web sites for student members, etc. to investigate what resources are available to help with the job search process. Post your findings in a minimum of three paragraphs.  The websites are where you find helpful job interviewing information that you can include with your post.

Copy and paste the URL(s) from the website(s) used for your research at the bottom of your pa.per.

How to Add an Image to Your Discussion:

First, you need to upload any images to your files.

The files link is located under the Account button (1) in the global navigation menu.

Once you open that link, click on Files (2).

When the text box opens for Alternative Text (Alt Text), please add a brief description of what the image is. This will allow students to use screen readers to share the experience of images.

You have been asked to be the project manager for the development of an information technology (IT) project. The system to be developed will allow a large company to coordinate and maintain records of the professional development of its employees. The company has over 30,000 employees who are located in four sites: Florida, Colorado, Illinois, and Texas. The system needs to allow employees to locate and schedule professional development activities that are relevant to their positions. Sophisticated search capabilities are required, and the ability to add scheduled events to the employees’ calendars is desired. The system needs to support social networking to allow employees to determine who is attending conferences and events. This will promote fostering relationships and ensure coverage of conferences that are considered of high importance.

Once an activity has been completed, employees will use the system to submit the documentation. The system should support notifications to management personnel whenever their direct reports have submitted documentation. The system should also notify employees if their deadline to complete professional-development requirements is approaching and is not yet satisfied:

The goal is to get this system up and running at the start of the next fiscal year.

For the given scenario, your group needs to complete the following:

  1. Work together with role playing (one Project Manager, one customer, others may be system architects/developers) to identify the system requirements and all risks. And, rate each risk.
  2. Each member selects one of the highest risks. Explain why these are considered high risk, and explain their potential effect on the project.
  3. Outline a risk mitigation strategy for the each of the selected high risks.
  4. Summarize the challenges the team faced and how you worked out.
  5. Create a 10 – 15 pages PowerPoint presentation with audio narration which covers 1 – 4. Each member needs to add audio presentation at least for his/her selected risk.
  6. Groups must now incorporate the critique provided by the group members into the final draft. The group members must each perform a final review of the entire assignment submission and confirm any final items that require clarification, editing, corrections, etc. One group member will then submit the final assignment.

Include a title slide and APA format on citations used in the presentation with a closing references slide. Use proper design regarding elements (fonts, color, images, etc.) on your slides.

Use the Record Slide Show option to present the information on each slide and record your verbal explanations for each item. Please refer to the following for more detailed instructions on recording your voice on a PowerPoint slide:
