The Premise or Thesis – An argumentative essay is built around a specific statement (a main premise or thesis) that is debatable within the field in which you are studying. In other words, at the centre of an argumentative essay is a statement with which your readers may disagree. Your essay will need to support that statement in a manner that convinces your readers of its truth or validity.

Providing Support for your Premise or Thesis – When you are writing an argumentative essay your aim is to make your readers agree with your debatable statements or premises. Your premises or theses may be true or valid, but by themselves, they are not convincing – they need support. You need to convince your readers of the value or truth of your premises.

Presenting Opposing and Supporting Claims – An important aspect of supporting your premise or thesis involves investigating (and refuting) opposing claims. In presenting opposing arguments it is important that the reader knows that you do not agree with them. You have to make it very clear that you are presenting these arguments only to show that you understand the issue from both sides, that you have anticipated the opposing arguments and wish to criticise them. A common way to do this is to explicitly mark the statement as an argument (e.g., It has been argued that children who attend childcare centres at an early age miss out on important early learning that occurs in parent-child interaction.).

It is important that readers are able to distinguish when you are shifting between supporting and opposing arguments. One way to do this is by clearly marking the point in each paragraph where you shift from one to the other. You can use contrasting connectives to mark this point. The most common of these contrasting connectives is “However”. Another way to do this is to place opposing and contrasting arguments in different paragraphs (again with some form of connective).

Paragraph Structure and the Organization of the Essay – Each paragraph in an argumentative essay discusses a different topic related to the issue of the essay. To ensure coherent paragraphs and a cogent argument generally, you need to sort your individual arguments into different topics and order these topics in a way that most effectively supports your major premise.

Converting from Informal to Formal Language – While informal language is appropriate for everyday speech, it is not appropriate for academic work. You need to convert informal language into more formal, academic style. All 7 sources must be scholarly.

Reflective Summary

Instructions:

Please use this format every week.

How have this week’s readings, assignments and activities added to your knowledge of mathematics and affected your feelings about mathematics?

 

The summary needs to cover three domains of learning: Cognitive, Affective, and Conative as described below, and comment on what I can do to assist you.

 

Cognitive: What did you learn about the subject matter this week that you did not know prior to the course? [A summary of the important topics in the course that were covered this week that were not known to you last week]

 

Affective: What are your feelings about the course, pace, group work, and your participation? How is this course working for you?

 

Conative: How did you approach the work? What type of input did you put into the material, lessons, discussion, etc.?

 

Note to professor: What can I do, as an instructor, to assure that this class is working for you? What do you expect in an instructor that I am or I am not doing?  Please be honest! I promise you that it will only be used to make this class better for you and improve my rating

 

Full credit would include at least two full paragraphs on cognitive, two on affective and two on cognitive, and two sentences on what I can do as an instructor to assist you. Scholarly writing will be assessed.

 

This is a time for you to reflect on how the course is working for you and what you have contributed to the learning process and how to make it even better. Summaries for one week cannot be made up during another week.

 

The following are definitions of these domains:

Affective – Of or pertaining to the affections or emotions; emotion

Part One: (500 words)

Hischornklinik Group is a leading private medical clinic group in Germany. It relies on Information Systems to operate 14 hospital, as well as hundreds of specialist institutes. Demand for additional servers and storage technology is growing by 20 percent each year. Hischornklinik was setting up a separate server for every application, and its servers and other computers were running a number of different operating systems, including several versions of UNIX and Windows. Hischornklink had to manage technologies from many different vendors, including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and IBM.

• Using the concepts discussed on the Management Information System, assess the impacts of this situation on business performance.
• Identify and explain which factors and management decisions must be considered when developing a solution to this problem?

Part Two: (500 words)

Iko Instruments Group, a global supplier of measurement, analytical, and monitoring instruments and services based in the Netherlands, had a new data warehouse designed to analyse customer activity to improve service and marketing. However, the data warehouse was full of inaccurate and redundant data. The data in the warehouse come from numerous transaction processing systems in the United States., Europe, Asia, and other locations around the world. The team that designed the warehouse has assumed that sales groups in all these areas would enter customer names, telephone numbers, and addresses the same way. In fact, companies in different countries were using multiple ways of entering quote, billing, shipping, contact information and other data.

• Assess the potential business impacts of these data quality problems.
• What decisions have to be made, explain and justify the steps taken to reach a solution?

 

Part Three (1100 words)

Evaluate different approaches to the storage and management of unstructured data such as images and multimedia data

 

 

Assessment Brief

 

Design and implement a database and then write a report to describe the development of this database based on a on the Raleigh Theatre Booking System case study provided for this part of the coursework.

 

Aim: the aim of the exercise is to enable students to investigate a business situation within the context of an organisation and then design and implement a database to support the data needs of the organisation under study.

 

Database Design and Development Requirements

 

Conceptual Design Stage

 

Design a class diagram that will capture the data and links capable of supporting the requirements outlined above. The figures provide some sample data to give you additional information on the kind of data you will need to store. The model needs to capture the data requirements in order for the system to work. You also need to develop a list of constraints and a list of assumptions.

 

Relational Design Stage

 

The class diagram will then be adapted into a relational model. A relational model consists of relations with attributes and their data types, primary and foreign keys.

 

 

 

 

 

Implementation Stage

 

The final stage will be to implement your design, using Oracle.

 

Convert your relational model into an SQL database.

Populate your database with some sample data

Test your database. You will need to consider testing the database to ensure that the database meets the information requirements of the system. You need to create and run SQL queries that produce the information required.

Description

Your Role/Assignment-

 

You are a business planner and accountant. Part of your expertise is in helping prospective business owners evaluate the various manufacturing and supplier options available based on the product they manufacture. You have a long history of working with widget manufacturers, which is why Gloria is meeting with you. Additionally, you are an expert in global business issues and can help Gloria review foreign supply options, including the applicable laws, customs regulations, and tax implications of using a foreign supplier versus a domestic supplier. Gloria has come to you to get some advice on which supplier will best meet her needs and objectives.

 

Key Players-

 

Gloria Smithson-

 

Gloria%u2019s business is doing well. She has been manufacturing widgets in the United States, however, the costs for the raw materials have increased 200% with her current supplier. She has found a new U.S. supplier%u2014Greenleaf Manufacturing%u2014that is willing to negotiate costs with her. Gloria has scheduled an appointment with its CEO, Richard Franklin. She is also considering manufacturing her widgets overseas. She traveled to China and met with Jun Chin, who is interested in the contract. She also went to Brazil and met with Mateo Bonilla, who also discussed production with her. Currently, Gloria has been selling approximately 12,000,000 widgets per year, but she recently got a purchase order from a large retailer for 8,000,000 widgets and a guarantee for a minimum of 13,000,000 widgets over the next 24 months. The purchase order states that continued business is dependent on paying no more than $7.34 per widget. Gloria%u2019s current cost to manufacture widgets is $6.22 and she has been selling them for $9.18. Doing business with this large retailer will take Gloria%u2019s business to the next level, but she has to get her costs down.

 

 

Richard Franklin-

 

He is the CEO of Greenleaf Manufacturing, which is a company located in the same state as Gloria%u2019s business. He has submitted the following proposal to Gloria Smithson: He will manufacture up to 6,000,000 widgets per year at a cost of $6.37; another 6,000,000 widgets per year at $5.41; and a final 6,000,000 widgets per year at a cost of $5.01 each. However, Greenleaf%u2019s proposal contains a clause that requires Gloria%u2019s acceptance by 5:00 p.m. on March 3, 2016.

 

 

Jun Chin-

 

She is the CEO of Sunrise Ltd. in Quanzhou, China. Her company has recently begun doing business with American companies. Ms. Chin is able to manufacture 100% of the widgets Gloria Smithson needs annually at a cost of $4.01 each.

 

 

Mateo Bonilla-

 

He operates Groupo Embraco. Groupo Embarco has never done business with an American company, but like Gloria Smithson, he wants to expand his business. Presently, it can supply Gloria with 10,000,000 widgets annually at a cost of $3.83. Bonilla is willing to expand his operations in order to manufacture more widgets.

 

 

Assignment-

 

You are a business planner and accountant. Gloria has come to you to get some advice on which supplier will best meet her needs and objectives. Prepare a paper that addresses the following.

What elements are necessary for a valid contract to exist? Define what constitutes a “valid offer.”  Evaluate each proposal and discuss whether each of the offers constitutes a valid offer. Why or why not?

Each proposal involves a different country. What are the particular concerns for Gloria in doing business in other countries? What contract provisions does she need to include in any business contract in order to protect her business?

How can Gloria continue to protect herself and her family from personal liability if she obtains her widgets from a foreign manufacturer? Use your textbook and library references to answer these questions. Evaluate each proposal. Does it constitute an offer?

 

 

Assignment Requirements-

 

When preparing your responses, please use the facts provided in the You Decide and the following resources: (1) the assigned reading and (2) the DeVry Library.

Your paper will be graded using the Week 5 You Decide Rubric.

Your paper should be four to five pages long, exclusive of the cover page and references page, and it should be double-spaced. It should comply with APA 6th edition formatting.
