Project Selection Assignment (Project Management)

PROJECT SELECTION ASSIGNMENT

Follow all the
instructions very carefully and look at the slides.
Overview
In this assignment, an
organization you identify will select a project to undertake.
Think
of One possible project that connect to your Major Computer System Technology
like (Software Development Track Project, Information Technology Track Project,
Database Track Project). Choose
any track that you are comfortable with.
Think
of an organization (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, or any big Reputed IT
company in USA) where
you would like to work after graduating college.
When identifying project, be creative and think of I.T. work you
would like to do as a Software Developer, Database Administrator, Game Developer, Database
Developer or Web developer, App Developer. Consider how the project might use your
strengths and interests and also affect your career development. Make sure that
each project fits the formal definition of a project.
When identifying an organization, you can consider existing
organizations or, instead, fictional organizations you imagine; perhaps, one
might even be your own company.
Instructions
In writing, briefly describe the organizations overall business
strategy and objectives. Communicate the ideas behind each project, the
purpose, and the opportunities they present or the problems they resolve.
Explain how each project would align with the organizations overall business
strategy. (You might also explain how you identified the organization and the
specific project)
Describe the method you
would choose to select one of these projects and explain why you chose the
method. As part of the assignment, you are asked to choose at least one method
from the list below. Chapter 2(follow the attached slides) of the textbook describes each method in detail.

Address problems,
opportunities, and directives

Focus on competitive
strategy or broad organizational needs.

Use a weighted scoring model.
Lastly, perform the financial projections described below and
summarize the results in a chart similar to Figure 2-7 (slide 3) and, in writing, explain
your results.
Performing Financial Projections
Estimate the future costs and benefits for the one project that
your organization will select. Since this is often difficult, use your best
judgment to come up with reasonable figures — based on research for similar
projects or based on actual hardware, software, and labor costs. Choose a
discount rate between 6% and 12% and determine the projects NPV, ROI, and
Payback period. See Figure 2-7. Intranet Project
NPV Example for how to show your results. Explain your results by including
key terminology from Chapter 2(on the slides).
Cite all references and pay special attention to spelling and
punctuation; sentence structure and grammar; professional terminology; and the
overall clarity of your writing.

Additional info: (You will understand this when you read chapter2_slide3):

First, you have to come up with the project. Once you have your
project, it’s your responsibility to estimate the costs and the benefits based
on your project’s equipment, resources, or manpower you need for your project.
etc.. Look at figure 2-7 on slide three (page 8), on row four, there is
an example of an estimated cost (numbers were made up 140,000 to 40,000) and
you need to find the discount factor amount based on the discount factor
formula (1/1+r)^t. After that, create the discounted costs row by doing
(Discount factor amount * Costs for each column). Again, you need to estimate
the benefits based on the project you choose. Once you make up the amount of
the benefits, like (200000, 200000, 200000) calculate the discount factor again
for each year. then create a row, discounted benefits by doing (Discount factor
amount * Benefits). After that, you will be fine to do the rest of the rows
like (Discounted benefits – Discounted costs) and Cumulative benefits.

Additional info: Choose a discount rate between 6% and 12% and
determine the projects NPV, ROI, and Payback period

Quality Management in Health Care; Risk Management Program

1. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes a list of health care-acquired conditions (HACs) that reasonably could have been prevented through the application of risk management strategies. What actions has your health care organization (or have health care organizations in general) implemented to manage or prevent these “never events” from happening within their health care facilities? Support your response with a minimum two peer-reviewed articles.

2. Looking ahead, select one area of the current National Patient Safety Goals program and make a prediction as to what might change in that area based on technological or other advancements. Consider patient identification standards, communication processes, and infection control protocols, among others.
You are required to use and cite a minimum of two references to support your response.

Essay on Kate Chopins The Story of an Hour

1. Discuss
the ways in which the storys imagery and other figures of speech chronicle the
process of Mrs. Mallards awakening to and embrace of her new-found freedom
after she hears of her husband Brentlys death, as well as the imagery and
other figures of speech that thematically suggest her dream of freedom is
tragically ironic.

2. I have attached the word document for more information about this essay.

IMPORTANT:- Remember, if you consult any outside sources and
use any ideas, words, sentences, paraphrases or summaries of those sources, you
must reference them in the body of your essay and cite them in the Works Cited
page. Failure to do so is plagiarism

HR Department Reorganization

You decided that it is time to reorganize your department to make it work better. After reading through the mission (unchanged), the current structure, your budget, and a description of some of your staff, you need to create the following:
1. A revised organization chart showing your changes.
2. A revised budget showing the financial costs/ benefits of your changes.
3. A memo to the executive team explaining your changes and justifying your choices. The memo should be less than two single-spaced pages long. Paragraphs should be single-spaced with an extra space between paragraphs. Remember that your boss wants information to be clear and concise.

Find an ad for a weight-loss product or program. Does the ad provide any scientific evidence for its effectiveness?

Chapter 8 deals with the many benefits of diet and exercise.
Find an ad for a weight-loss product or program. Does the ad provide any scientific evidence for its effectiveness? What type of person is the ad targeting? How likely is the recommendation to produce short-term weight loss? What about long-term weight loss? Be sure to reference the textbook in your response in regard to the causes of obesity and the various approaches to weight loss.
You are an RA in a dorm and are worried about the eating habits of your residents. You decide to develop a program for students about healthy eating. You should give two specific pieces of advice for students who are stuggling to lose weight. What recommendations would you give to them to help them be successful in their weight loss goals. Next you should develop an eating disorder prevention plan to help students who may be at risk. What information do these students need to know about eating disorders?
Based on the text, identify three risk factors that have been shown to contribute to the likelihood of developing an eating disorder. Is there any evidence for a genetic or hormonal cause?
Describe your preferred form of exercise (even if you are not currently participating in it). What category of physical activity does it fall into? What are the specific advantages of that type of activity? You can refer to the PowerPoint presentation for Chapter 8 to get details on the categories and benefits of exercise.
In the TED talk by Mitch Cornett (http://www.ted.com/talks/mick_cornett_how_an_obese_town_lost_a_million_pounds), he describes how one town changed their health status and culture. What environmental factors in Oklahoma City contributed to the obesity issues in that town? What strategies were implemented to change the culture of the community?
Chapter 10 provided an overview of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and HIV/AIDS with an emphasis on the various physiological and psychological factors that influence the development of these diseases. Interestingly, the diseases have very similar risk factors for both diseases (primarily behavioral factors like smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle). The author also described the epidemiological trends and discussed ethnic/racial differences that have been shown to contribute to increased prevalence of certain conditions.
You should review the popular press (e.g., magazines, newspaper articles) for one current recommendation on how to improve health (e.g., what foods to eat, what type of diet or exercise routine to follow). Do the authors scientifically support their claims for the benefits of their advice (e.g., do they provide a link to an empirical study or discuss any actual data)? Have you noticed any particular fads in terms of advice on staying healthy that appear in the news?
You should complete the online version of the Type A personality scale (http://www.queendom.com/tests/access_page/index.htm?idRegTest=1126). Do you feel this scale accurately measures the construct it intends to measure (e.g., possesses good internal validity)? Does the research presented in the text provide compelling evidence that this “personality type” is linked to increased risk of heart disease?
Based on the TED talk by Noel Bairey Merz, what are the differences in symptoms and treatment between men and women? What should the medical community know and do about her recommendations? Based on the TED talk by Dean Ornish, what are the most important changes that people should make to reduce their risk of heart disease?

Hoolu, E., & Hergner, S. (2016). Childhood sleep terror and mirtazapine. Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, 26(6), 568. doi:http://dx.doi.org.tcsedsystem.idm.oclc.org/10.1089/cap.2016.0071

Hello Everyone,
I found this weeks discussion interesting, as it talked about my favorite topic–sleep. By now, we all know that one-third of our life is spent sleeping. Gaskin (2021) described the various stages of sleep along with what occurs. For example, stage 1 is the transition between wakefulness and entering stages of sleep. Stage 2 is a light form of sleep from which a person is easily awakened (Gaskin, 2021). Such an individual can awake at the sound of their name or essentially something familiar. Though I do not know if this too may apply, an example of this is the transition between sleep and wakefulness. A sibling of a client I work with enjoys going outside to either go for a walk or run around the grass. Now my client and I were having a simple conversation where the term walk came up, to which his younger sibling opened his eyes, got up, and asked to go outside.
For this discussion, I chose to examine the DSM-5 parasomnia of sleep/night terrors. The DSM-5 indicates that the prevalence of Sleep terror disorder is unknown (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). However, sleep terrors occur in about 37% of children at 18 months and about 20% at age two and a half (Hoolu & Hergner, 2016). Sleep terror events last 1 to 10 minutes on average, and typically, only one event occurs per night and rarely occurs during naptime (APA, 2013). According to the DSM-5, sleep terrors are partial, abrupt awakening from a deep sleep during the first third of the night, or the first third of the major sleep episode, accompanied by inconsolable screaming and crying and autonomic arousal.
Hoolu and Hergner (2016) characterized sleep terror (ST) by intense fear, motor agitation, and screaming. The article discussed a 7-year-old boy who, after 1-2 hours of falling asleep he would scream, cry and vomit. While in the morning, I had no recollection as to what happened the following morning. The authors also stated that the young child was diagnosed with having ST and functional vomiting, and to help treat both, and he was given mirtazapine– an antidepressant. It is thought to positively affect communication between nerve cells in the central nervous system and/or restore chemical balance in the brain. On the childs hospital visit a month later, there were no complaints of ST, and vomiting improved completely. However, at the 6-month follow-up, he had only two episodes of ST and no episode of vomiting (Hoolu & Hergner, 2016). Based on this article, this had been the first case of ST that was responsive to mirtazapine.

Internet Research

There are many internet sites that can give information about classical music, art, architecture, historical periods (Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, et. al.), composers, performers, symphonies, performing organizations (instrumental, vocal, choral, opera), classical programs, etc.
Find 6 sites. List the URL address and give a short descriptive comment about each site on your initial post. Amazon.com and MP3 sites don’t count! This is an exciting project –
When you post the 6 sites the address will turn blue and become a link so that the class can observe your sites!

To get full points, ensure that the Discussion is clear, relevant, and insightful. Interactions go beyond a basic response to the question to provide a critical examination of the issue and/or stimulate critical thinking. Posts show a strong mastery of the content and promote ongoing dialogue.

Management and leadership trends

Research and discuss two (2) General Management/Leadership trends that are currently going on globally.
Research and discuss two (2) Specific Management/Leadership trends for your specific industry (needs to be different than the two above)
How will these global and industry trends help you in future crisis management situations?
Research two management and two leadership trends that are going on globally. Meaning use the internet, magazines, newspapers, industry journals, etc to determine what is trending in these areas in 2021. Then research two industry leadership and or management trends in the field that you are interested in.
Examples –
Globally – working remotely is a trend that will continue for many companies. Then expound on it.
RTE Industry & Hospitality – New roles for staff. Technology check-ins online instead of with front desk staff. Routine mundane tasks going to robots, like room service and employees more focused on personalized services vs rote tasks.
(Do not use the examples in your trends.) Make sure you expound on each. I am not just looking for a list. Remember your papers are 3-5 pages.
Your research must include utilizing, citing, and listing two resources outside of the text.
