According to Crocker and Smallwood, cloud computing represents one of the most significant paradigms shifts in information technology (IT) history, due to an extension of sharing an application-hosting provider that has been around for many years, and was common in highly regulated vertical industries like banks and health care institutions.  The author’s knowledge from their research continue to assert that, the impetus behind cloud computing lies on the idea that it provides economies of scale by spreading costs across many client organizations and pooling computing resources while matching client computing needs to consumption in a flexible, real-time version.

  Juvenile Justice Policy Issues       

In The Public Policy of Crime and Criminal Justice, Marion and Oliver (2012) present a wide variety of juvenile justice policy issues. Over the last 50 years, the juvenile justice system has evolved to deal with the special issues revolving around issues with juveniles. When preparing your initial post, consider the following questions:

  • What should be done about serious juvenile offenders?
  • How should we address issues with violent gangs?
  • Should we allow juveniles to be transferred to the adult court, and if so, under what circumstances?
  • Should we allow the federal and state governments to execute juvenile offenders?

Initial Post: Select a juvenile justice policy issue, and evaluate it based on one of the theories found in Box 13.1, Theories of Juvenile Delinquency, in Chapter 13 of The Public Policy of Crime and Criminal Justice. Determine how the theory shaped the juvenile justice policy. Support your claims with examples from the required materials and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite your references with both in-text and APA citation at the end of your post.

Guided Response: Review your peers’ posts, and substantively respond to at least two of your peers. In your evaluation of your classmates’ posts, do you agree or disagree with your classmate? Address whether social justice concerns trump criminal justice concerns when it comes to dealing with and treating juveniles. Respond to at least one Instructor Response in the discussion. 

Select an industry and consider how IT systems and business strategies focused on digital interactions can transform the way companies are doing business. IT systems can transform how a company interacts with its customers, partners, and suppliers, how employees do their work and the entire nature of how a company operates. With the concept of “digital enterprise” companies may be rethinking their entire approach to doing business, relying on IT/digital systems for efficiencies, geographical reach, around the clock operations and novel ways of engaging with customers. Innovative companies are also disrupting traditional industries and even creating new industries – examples include Amazon (the “everything” store), Airbnb (a marketplace connecting travelers and hosts), Uber (ride-sharing), and many others. 

 

Your Challenge: 

 

Select a prototypical company within your selected industry (it could also be the company you are working for) and create a proposal on how the company can use IT technologies and systems to change the way it is doing business and transform itself. Consider the current and long term challenges the company may be facing (competitive pressures, the need to reduce costs, the need to increase efficiencies and productivity, ability to grow and expand, evolving customer preferences and needs, etc.). Your proposal should provide a comprehensive approach to use IT technologies to address the company challenges. Outline the future vision of how the company can be operating with the use of IT and digital technologies, and provide examples of how the new vision will impact interactions with customers, partners, suppliers, internal operations, and employee activities. Try to be creative and innovative in using digital technologies to transform business strategies. Explain the steps needed to implement your strategy and initiate a digital transformation. 

 

Create your response to this challenge as a proposal you will submit to business strategy leadership in your selected company. Format your response as an APA paper and include a bibliography with references/sources you have consulted in preparing your proposal.
