Economy & Strategic Plan

Task- A (Strat Plan)

The decision to adopt or bypass a technology can give a company a tremendous competitive advantage or remove a company from the market completely. Using the 3 paragraph structure described in the announcements, please research and explain

In your own words, no quotations allowed this week.

Choice ONE Technology, that YOU predict will have a major impact on the way work is done? write one paragraph describing the technology, one paragraph on What you see as possible negatives to this technology and one paragraph on a positive aspect.
This is your format. Deviations from this format will result in a failing grade and additional scrutiny for plagiarism.

YOU MUST POST YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, BEFORE YOU CAN SEE YOUR CLASSMATES.

You are also required to post a response to a minimum of two other students in the class.

You must use at least one scholarly resource.

Every discussion posting must be properly APA formatted.

Respond to a minimum of two other learners during the week.

Your responses to other students must be more than a simple “Good job” or “I agree with your post”. They must also not just be “Let me add to your post…” Instead, your responses to each other should do three things:

1. Acknowledge the other student’s post with some form of recognition about what they posted
2. Relate their posting to something you have learned or are familiar with
3. Add to the conversation by asking additional questions about their post, or discussing their topic further

Task -B(Global Economy)

This assignment will be one of several throughout your PhD program that we use to help you prepare for the dissertation process. One of the core competencies necessary to succeed in a doctoral program is the ability to identify other research that pertains to your own. This means you’ll have to identify similar research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your own research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills.

This assignment is listed on the syllabus as “Major research paper” and is worth 10% of your grade. Your paper will be an annotated bibliography, specifically focusing on the topic of using simulations for policy making. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policy making.

You paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at five (5) resources, ALL of which must:

1) Be current. Published within the last few years.

2) Be peer-reviewed.

3) Relate directly to using simulations for policy making. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policy making.

USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!!!!

Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. Your annotations are to be evaluative and critical. Give me enough information for me to decide if I’m interested enough to read the paper, and also how you perceive the paper. Don’t go skimpy on these annotations, but DO NOT write too much here. Quality is far more important that quantity. This exercise is for each of you to demonstrate that you can identify, categorize, and digest multiple research papers.

Every resource you choose must be peer reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer reviewed – check it out.

Here are a few URLs with additional information: (I strongly suggest that you look at these. Really.)
