find a visual representation of data with the excellent annotations, considering what Kirk (2016) states about annotation in the textbook.
Describe why you think the one you chose is superior to any other, considering the annotations.
Do not use a graphic another student has already discussed.
When replying to a peer, ensure you annotate whether theirs or yours are better and why.
Make sure that you reference the visualization.
Ensure you include citations for all references.
Question 1:
For this week discussion – read chapter 16 in the course text. After reading chapter 16, In your own words, discuss at least three 3 steps for facilitating effective collaboration.
Note: Your initial post will be your answer to the Question and is to be 250 300 words with at least two references. Initial post will be graded on length, content, grammar and use of references. References should always be below each question as they are a different topic and not related in any way.

Question 2:
Read the Consumerization of Technology at IFG Case Study on pages 239-242 in the textbook. Answer the Discussion Questions at the end of the Case Study.
1. Describe the problem at IFG as succinctly as you can. Use this description to identify
the main stakeholders.
2. IFG cant afford the resources to identify, define, cleanse, and validate all of its data.
On the other hand, building yet another data mart to address a specific problem
worsens the data situation. Propose a solution that will enable IFG to leverage a key
business problem/opportunity using their BI tools that does not aggravate their
existing data predicament.
Note: Your initial post will be your answer to the Question and is to be 500 550 words with at least two references. Initial post will be graded on length, content, grammar and use of references. References should always be below each question as they are a different topic and not related in any way.

Reflect on the assigned readings for Week 1 and then type a two-page paper regarding what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding. Define and describe what you thought was worthy of your understanding in half a page, and then explain why you felt it was important, how you will use it, and/or how important it is in managerial economics. After submitting your two-page paper as an initial post in the “Reflection and Discussion Forum,” then type at least two peer replies in response to your classmate’s posts (200 word minimum each).
paper should be 1-2 pages (double spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman) and critically evaluate a computational media research article, addressing the questions shown below. You will need to find articles published within the last 3 years from one of the following venues: ACM SIG CHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM CSCW, ACM UIST, or ACM TOCHI (journal).
1) What were the research questions under investigation?
2) How did the researchers approach the research questions? What were their methods?
3) What did the researchers find? How did they interpret the findings?
4) Are you convinced of their results and interpretations? Why or why not? Explain.
Include the link for the article
Scenario: Magenta Multimedia has decided to incorporate social technology into its business to maintain its competitive advantage. It would like to use technologies that allow it to engage with customers, and that also allow employees to communicate with peers. The companys current customer demographic is older, but management would like to expand the appeal of the company and its products to millennials (while not ignoring its current customer base). The company was impacted by the recent economic downturn, but is now growing again and is seeing positive financial results. Despite this, senior management is extremely budget-conscious and sensitive to incurring new expenses.
Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers posts as well.
We have almost completed the process of developing our HVA. Once an Emergency Manager had completed the HVA and it has been approved by the community partners and organizations you would publish it for those involved in Emergency Management. To get there you need to ensure that you have a priority assigned to each of the hazards. You need this to also assist you in your mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities. For this assignment, I want you to complete the Risk Index Worksheet for Comparing and Prioritizing Risks for each type of hazard; natural, technological, and manmade.
Remember to review the syllabus expectations for initial discussion posts and peer replies.
Discuss the following:
1. What are the benefits and challenges associated with public and private blockchain and which has the most potential for application in human resource management?
2. How can blockchain technology improve employee safety and security? You are required to cite this weeks assigned readings in your paper. You may also cite prior week’s reading assignments and external sources if you wish.

Chapter 14 Provided us with a brief introduction to the method of microsimulation that was introduced in the 1950s, and its utility for the development of public policy. On the same token, the authors stated that microsimulations use for policy purposes has extended from the economic to other domains due to robust and abundances of data and technological advances. From this revelation, we can state with the certainty that microsimulation as a utility has seen growing demand in recent times to address increasingly complex policy issues that require new approaches.
Lay-Yee, and Cotterell contend that microsimulation may come in various types. Examples that they provided are along the dimensions of arithmetical or behavioral, and static or dynamic. It has its own distinctive model-building process that relies on empirical data and derived parameters with an insertion of the chance to simulate realistic distributions.
Q1). Utilities of microsimulation for policy development relies in their abilities to do what?
Q2). Looking through the chapter, the authors have identified five non-sequential and unique steps that must be followed when building a microsimulation model (Caro et al., 2012; Cassells et al., 2006; Zaidi and Rake, 2001).
