Locate an interesting topic on global IT (The Effect of IT Governance on Hospital Network Operations: An Exploratory Case Study). Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate the topic.
- Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student?
- Is the problem rooted in the literature?
- Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool?
- Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed?
Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings. Do not read the entire dissertation, as the abstract and chapter one introduction should give a clear understanding of the research.
mobile technology
making money from apps is possible but difficult. There are hundreds of thousands of apps available. The revenue generated from an individual app is typically very small, and the app stores take a 30% cut of all the revenue that your app generates. How do you get people to pay you to use yours? What are the different ways you can collect money for the use of your apps? More importantly, how can you get a lot of people to pay you to use the app so that the revenue generates enough to fund further development or expansion? These are some of the questions that many developers ask. The two primary audiences are typically the employees of an organization for which the app was developed or the public. Many aspects of publishing are the same for both audiences. However, some important differences exist that the developer needs to be aware of. Likewise, publishing Android versus iOS apps can be very similar, but with some significant differences. Some questions have concrete answers; others are still very much open for debate.
- How do you get a piece of that pie?
- You’ve created and tested a great app. Now you want your efforts to pay off. What is the best way to do this?
- What options do you have to make money from apps?
- What do you have to do to start?
- Using the industry where you currently work or have worked before, what would you recommend to the organization: Android or iOS? From a user and developers’ perspective, which would you recommend to your company and why?
- instructions
- you must include at least two citations (APA style) from different academic resources
- all bullet points need to have an explanation

Human Development
1. Describe the biological, psychological, and social changes that occur late and very late adulthood.
2. Compare and contrast the theoretical approaches of Erich Lindemann to that of J. William Worden. It should be clear how they differ from one another.
3. Discuss a challenge or issue facing older adults today (i.e. – ageism, elder abuse, health care costs, financial insecurity). The challenge you describe does not need to have been discussed in the textbook. Please note the source of the information if you discuss an issue not identified in the textbook. Then, discuss two resources (formal or informal) discussed in the textbook that can help meet the needs of older adults.
4.Discuss the ways cultural differences shape our mourning rituals, traditions, and behavioral expressions of grief. Compare and contrast your own family’s cultural rituals related to grief to a cultural ritual.
5. Discuss the demographics of the older population including race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. For example, you might discuss racial and ethnic differences in poverty rates among older adults. You also might discuss gender differences in life circumstances of older adults or how life expectancies vary. Be specific.

Briefly explain the change itself, then explain what the company did (is doing, or should do) to be successful in the change process, why the change was necessary, and what roadblocks or resistance they met (or would likely meet).

581 Business Strategy
Case Study 1
Consolidated Computers
James Pruitt was ushered into the president’s office. Three months ago, he had been appointed manager of the first foreign plant of Consolidated Computers, Inc. He appeared to be the ideal person for this assignment, as a proven division manager of many talents. He was an innovator and very much interested in a foreign appointment. Now he was calling on his superior just before catching the plane for Riyadh.
“I wanted to talk to you,” the president began, “about some issues you will be facing when you reach Saudi Arabia. I guess you might call what I want to say a matter or my search for a business philosophy. We have not had to experience here the new issues that you will face, and we simply do not have a set of policies and procedures to cover such matters. Perhaps out of your experience we can move in that direction in case we later establish our operations in other countries.
“I am not concerned about your encountering new principles of management. They are universal, you have developed great skill in applying them to domestic operations, and I have no doubt about your skill in applying them in a foreign environment. You will soon discover, however, that managing is different abroad precisely because the cultural environment is so different.
“I think our best position is to realize that we are going into Saudi Arabia as a guest. We each need the other at this time, but there may come a time when their political forces will require us to give up ownership of our plant. It is up to you to develop the rapport with all interested parties which will most benefit our long-run interests.
“Since all your employees will be, or soon will be, Saudi, it is vital to learn as quickly as possible something about their culture. Perhaps your best move is to perfect your skill in the use of their language and really learn to think and act as a native. I am not sure anyone from the United States can do this. You and I were raised in the folds of Western Civilization, which has very different institutions, behavioral patterns from those you will encounter in the Near East.
For instance, does one adhere to the ethical principles of the Saudi or our own? Do they have the same trust and reliance on people that we do? Will they always react as we here are accustomed? Is social responsibility thought of in the same terms? What intentions and actions on your part can be well received by your suppliers, customers, competitors, and public figures? “You know, I suppose that what is really on my mind is that we don’t really know at what point there may be a conflict in our two cultures, and when that is discovered, what choice you will make.”
Questions:
- If you were James Pruitt, how would you go about finding what the local business customs in Saudi Arabia are? What other environmental factors would you look for? How would you respond to them?
- Suppose you found that it is customary not to lay off employees when work slackens. What would you do?
- Suppose you found that it is normal business practice to give employees a small amount of money when they help your people to get something through a department or clear up some paperwork jams. Would you do the same thing? Why, or why not?
- In the last paragraph, the president showed many worries about the difference in the two cultures and asked many questions. What would be your response?
