Is making art out of issues raised by globalization socially useful, neutral, or counter-productive? In what ways? How might Burtynskys documents and/or Cole’s or Luttringer’s alter the way the viewer thinks about globalization? Use a minimum of 12 photographs, 4 from each of the three photographers to discuss in detail and to support the points you make in your essay.

Why is it important to get a deep understanding of your audience(s)?

In your initial post, discuss any potential pitfalls of not identifying or understanding your audience. Also focus on benefits of a clear understanding of the audience. Go beyond simply labeling your audience and discuss learning about and understanding your audience. You can focus on the audience for the paper you are developing in this course or on a real or potential workplace communication to an audience. The audience can be one person or a group. Explore different writing situations and how the change in audience impacts your writing.

Risk Response

November 11, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

Corning Software Co. is a custom software development company that has been hired to develop a unique piece of software that will be used with test equipment to measure RF signals and analyze data. Specifications have been given to Corning Software to review, and a contract for development has been signed. The software package will consist of a core element of programming, data extraction, analysis and storage, and an output user interface. The software will be located on a desktop PC and will have to connect to several pieces of RF test equipment. A module will be designed that connects the PC to various pieces of test equipment.

Risks that have been identified include the following: development of the data extraction and analysis portion of the software, successful development of an interface module that connects the PC to the test equipment, and correctly identified components on the user interface that will meet the customers expectations.

Corning Software will be using a predeveloped core module that has been tested and proven to be adequate for this requirement. Corning Software has contracted an external software designer to assist in the data extraction and analysis portion of the software. The software designer will be working with an internal software engineer who is later revealed to be a former coworker; it is discovered that the two did not get along. Several attempts to contact the customer to discuss details of the user interface have resulted in a lack of information. Concerns as to the ability to develop a module that can connect the PC to test equipment have not been resolved. Modules that might be capable of this activity have been discovered and might be procured. Several pieces of test equipment will need to be purchased to perform testing.

Respond to the following case study questions in the form of an essay.

1. As the PM discussing information regarding risks that have been identified for this project, identify which risks might have a reactive response mode versus a proactive response mode.

2. Identify negative risks as well as potential positive risks.

3. Determine if there are any contingency response strategies available

Include at least (2) peer reviewed sources in APA 6 format. .

Not All Companies Are Viewed as Equal

November 11, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

In the land of free trade, the public does not view all industries as equal. Do you believe that is ethical? Do you believe that some industries are unfairly targeted? Should it be consumers choice to partake in products that are not healthy for them, or do those companies have an ethical obligation to protect people?

Instructions
Choose one of the following industries to frame your paper:
The oil industry (for example Exxon).
The candy industry.
The mining industry.
Write a paper in which you:
Become an advocate for either the consumer or the industry.
Prepare an argument explaining the major reasons why you support either the consumer or the industry.
Discuss whether you believe it is possible for a company to cater to both its best interest and that of the consumer simultaneously or if one always has to prevail. Justify your response.
