Recommendations And Global Considerations

Posted on | by

 

Suggest relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident. Standards external to the organization that may have helped prevent the incident should also be proposed. This assignment will also address international compliance standards and how they would have been relevant to the incident. The impact of the incident on global communication and commerce will be analyzed, as well as the impact on the global technology environment.

Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:

Recommendations
Propose relevant changes to the organization that may have prevented the incident. How would these changes have helped to prevent the occurrence?
Propose reasonable ethical guidelines that could have helped prevent the incident and that might help the organization prevent future incidents. Propose changes to the standards external to the organization that might have helped prevent the incident. This can include changes to regulations and regulatory and ethical standards that might exist today but did not exist or were not properly delivered at the time of the incident. Be sure to support your conclusions.
Global Considerations
What international compliance standards (either at the time of the incident or today) would have been relevant to the incident, and how? If your company is not global, imagine that is.
Analyze the impact of the incident on global communication and commerce (again, if your organization is not global, imagine otherwise). In other words, what impact did (or would) the incident have on views and use of information technology and communication in global contexts?

The movie Red Rock West.

Posted on | by

 

 

Below is a clip from the movie Red Rock West. Here is a brief summary copied liberally from wikipedia: Michael (played by Nicholas Cage) is a drifter living out of his car after being discharged from the Marine Corps. After a job on an oilfield falls through due to his unwillingness to conceal a war injury on his job application, he wanders into rural Red Rock, Wyoming looking for other work. A local bar owner named Wayne (J.T. Walsh) mistakes him for a hit man, “Lyle from Dallas,” whom Wayne has hired to kill his wife. Wayne offers him a stack of cash–“half now, half later”– Michael doesn’t correct him and takes the money. Michael then visits Wayne’s wife, Suzanne (Lara Flynn Boyle) and attempts to warn her that her life is in danger—instead of killing her. The scene you see below is the four characters all together – in a group as they all have different goals. Michael wants to get out of town, Wayne wants to be free of prison time, Lyle wants the money, and Suzanne wants … well it’s not clear what she wants.

Question 15

In our class we learned about coalitions being a good strategy to take in groups. In this group there were a lot of relationships between individuals. But did you see any coalitions in this clip? If so, identify one coalition. In particular, who specifically were in the coalition? And why do you believe they are coalition partners? Please be specific.

 

Question 16

In our class we did not talk about the role a gun may play in organizational behavior. However, in this clip guns play a consistent role in the group dynamics. What was the role that the gun played in the group. And what was the impact of the gun on the coalition you identified in the question above?

Before And After Presenting Work Via Social Networks

Posted on | by

 

 

 

 

One of the greatest benefits of the Internet, for graphic designers, is the opportunity to submit our work for evaluation by the community and other design professionals. A good designer understands the importance of learning from others and the value of honest feedback toward the improvement of their skills. Fortunately there are a number of fantastic websites available for a designer to submit their work and possibly gain some insight.

The Background:
For this week’s project you will find a website that offers designers / artists the opportunity to upload and submit their work for public appraisal. There are many sites to choose from but you may want to start with sites like Deviant Art, a website with a long-standing history of providing artists, from a variety of disciplines, the tools necessary for sharing art, design and insight from a vast community of art lovers.

It is perfectly acceptable if you want to submit your work to a site like Facebook but consider your audience. When posting design for analysis you will usually gain more insight from other designers over the opinions of the community at large. There are web sites available that are more focused towards the artist and design professional, so although the choice is yours where you decide to post your work, for this assignment you need to call upon a website designed specifically for design.

Remember, do not indulge in validation but rather seek out valuable insight that may lead to improvements in your craft.

What to Submit to the Website
Because your portfolio should demonstrate learning through gained experience, it is good practice to return to a design you know could benefit from change. Look through your current portfolio and choose a sample of design that could use more attention. Your challenge this week is to redesign that particular project into a piece you are more excited about. Once you complete your redesign you will then submit that design, along with the original, for appraisal by the public on a social network site of your choosing. Be sure to upload your projects early enough in the week to obtain comments and feedback from viewers!

Submit a link of your before and after examples along with short description of why you choose that particular design and how your changes improved it.

Make sure your submission is accessible by the public. Anyone should be able to look at and write feedback of your work without having to provide a password or become your “friend.”

What to Submit to the Drop Box
Create a flattened version of your before and after project files (JPG or PDF recommended). In a Microsoft Word document, copy the brief description of your project you posted to the website as well as the top 3-5 comments you received from others regarding your piece. Create a zip file of the two images and your Word document and submit it to the drop box below.

Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

The new technologies of the 1970s allowed listeners more personal choice

The new technologies of the 1970s allowed listeners more personal choice in what they listened to at home and in their cars. Later, people gained even more freedom when they could listen in their portable headphones when they listened to their SONY Walkman. This change in technology caused changes on the radio as well, where we see the advent of Album Oriented Radio (AOR). What were the pros and cons of AOR? How did the AOR movement narrow the role of the DJ on the radio? How did this change the power structure within the music industry? Do you believe this was positive or negative for the music world and why?

In response to at least three of your peers, consider an album that was either positively or negatively affected by AOR. Does this album’s success or failure confirm or deny your peers’ viewpoints?
