Hi,

 

I need a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you research AT&T and Sprint companies and do the following:

 

• Evaluate the internal and external environments of each company using an environmental scan.
• Analyze the competitive advantage of each company
• Evaluate the strategies each company uses to create value and gain competitive advantage.
• Examine the measurement guidelines each company uses to verify its strategic effectiveness.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the measurement guidelines that each company uses.

 

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Inheritance and Polymorphism

[Pin It]

Now that your ordering system is constructed in a truly object-oriented manner, you can take advantage of this organization. Consider another product that is similar to your existing product but that has one property or attribute that is somewhat different. As a concrete example, assume that your product has a size property and that the valid values for size are large, medium, and small. A slightly different product might use size values 10”, 15”, 20”, and 25”. These two products would have names: a string. However, the value in the name field would be different for these two different kinds of products. In particular, one is an int and the other is a string.

Complete the following:

Create a base class (also called a superclass) that contains all of the properties that are common to both of these products. Create 2 derived classes (also called subclasses) that contain different kinds of sizes. If your product does not already have a name property, you will need to add one along with appropriate get- and set-methods.
Modify your program so that at an appropriate point in the ordering process, the program requests the name or kind of product. At that point, the correct kind of product class needs to be instantiated. Polymorphism should ensure that the correct kind of size information or method is used.
Modify your program so that it requests 3 products. Create an array of products and save all of the product instances in this array. You might want to think about how an indefinite number of product orders might be handled. However, do not implement this extension for this course.
You will need to change how you handle file output or input. Instead of creating or writing a new file for each product, you need to create an empty file when the program starts. Each new product should then be added to the file. You no longer need to create the confirmation dialog based on data that are read back in after each individual product is ordered. Instead, you will confirm the entire 3-product order after all 3 product orders have been completed. This can be done by reading the order file and displaying or confirming the product orders one after another.
You must revisit your UML diagrams one last time and revise them to represent the final online ordering system in structural diagrams (the class diagrams) and in a behavioral diagram (the use case diagram).

New Content for Week 5

The Phase 5 Individual Project deliverables are as follows:

Save the final program code that you just developed and ran successfully in a .zip file that includes all of your Java project files.
Update the Key Assignment design document title page with a new date and project name.
Update your previously completed work based on your instructor’s feedback.
Perform a screen capture of each of the ordering system dialogs that are displayed during execution just after you have entered the requested information. Place these screen captures in Week 5: Inheritance and Polymorphism.
Review and revise your class diagrams and use case diagrams where appropriate to include the new program organization and structure.
Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.
Name your revised document “yourname_IT110_IP5.doc.”

Technology and social media are transforming how individuals communicate and network in both the personal and professional realm. An organization is considering developing a social media plan.

You are asked to develop the proposal for the organization. Discuss the type of organization that you are hypothetically a part of in the example. The organization need to be a human services organization. Define the organization that you would like to use as an example. Explain why the social media approach is beneficial or detrimental to your organization’s mission. What key elements would you like to see in the contract? How should the public sector address social media? What are the critical elements in the proposal that are necessary to address the broader public interest? Identify the benefits and costs of a social media campaign by your organization. Discuss how the proposal would allow for public input and how it would address key concepts in public administration, including; transparency, efficiency, effectiveness, and responsiveness.

Question 4:

Woodrow Wilson wrote of a politics and administrative dichotomy within the field of public administration. Evaluate the theoretical foundations of the field of public administration by exploring five or more major theorists and their seminal works. Be sure to tie these theorists and their theories to current knowledge and trends within the field of public administration and public service. How do the theories build one upon another? Do we have a science of Public Administration?

Question 5:

You are the superintendent of Mt. Rossmoor Community College (MRCC). Mt. Rossmoor Community College is the fifth fastest growing community college in the nation. The college’s student body has grown 24% in the past 5 years largely due to the recent housing boom. Due to budgetary cuts on the state level, state universities will increase the cost of tuition by 8% this year, on top of last year’s increase of 14%. The result is that more students will be “priced out” of the state university system. Many of these same formerly state university students will attempt to satisfy general education requirements at local community colleges, including MRCC, thereby increasing demand for courses.

At the same time, however, MRCC’s budget will drop 15% this year due to the state budget crisis. As superintendent, you face some tough choices. Should the college significantly increase fees per unit, or maintain current fee levels by drawing down on its budgetary reserve, knowing that next year will not get better? Should the college increase or reduce course offerings? Should the college pursue furloughs, layoffs, or “golden handshakes?” There is even the question of offering online courses and shuttering buildings on MRCC’s main campus, so as to save on electricity and air conditioning.

In a white paper, please identify the policy problem, detail the policy options, identify stakeholders, and apply your own financial knowledge to make sound and ethical decisions in the public’s interest.

Psychological research includes two major methods of investigation: correlational and experimental.

In at least 500 words, define these methods, provide an example of a situation where researchers have used each method, and then share a way in which you could personally create both a correlation and an experiment in relation to your own day-to-day life.

Be sure to use terminology from Chapter 1 within the answer to your assignment to demonstrate your understanding of these terms.

Your essay should be at least 500 words in length and should be presented in APA format, including a title page, in-text citations, a running header, page numbers, double spacing, and a reference page. Your assignment should use terms/references directly from the chapter, and all extra outside research must be properly cited.

Argument (4-6 pages)

In his discussion of just and unjust laws in "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Martin Luther King Jr. says, "To use the words of Martin Burber, the great Jewish philsopher, segregation substitues an ‘I-it’ relationship for the ‘I-thou’ relationship, and ends up relegating persons to the status of things …Paul Tillich has said that sin is seperation. Isnt segregation and existential expression of man’s tragic seperation, an expression of his awful estrangement…? (447)
Do you think that seperation of self from an other has been the major reason for periods of calamity or historical opression? Write an essay arguing for or against the fact thta this kind of "seperation" or "estrangement" (king 477), between individuals ( or such a mentality of seperation in place in a societyor culture), in and of itself is enough to cause suffering for large numbers of people. Do other forces need to be at work: gvernments, legal systems, educational systems, propaganda?
A total of four sorces are required for this paper. You will need to use King’s "Letter from Birmingjam Jail" and the essay "Nonviolence and Peace Making Today" by Micheal Nagler to argue your points. Both text are in "Cultural Conversation, The presense of the Past" by stephen dilks, regina hansen, and mattew parfitt. YOu can either write entirely about the African AMerican struggle for civil rights in the period King addresses (mid-nineteen fifties to early sixties) or use that as a base for your argument and discuss one other historical period or incident in which people were subjected to suffering and death (i.e. Hitlers third Reich, Eugenics in Australia**). Find and se twoo additional sources such as newspaper or magazine articles (print or online), to develop your argument.
You will need to have at least one paragraph in which you present the opposite point of view. You may use one or two of your sources to address this point of view. Ofcourse overall and eventually you should show hw your argument has more validity.

Additional info
— do you think the argument mlk proposed in his letter is affective?
— define 2 or 3 terms ..i.e resistance, non violence, oppression, self etc to prove your argument
