Do I Have a Core Essence?

1. Prepare an individual report demonstrating that you a) understand the key ideas presented in the assigned and recommended readings for Week 1 and b) can analyze critically the extent to which they are applicable in your current workplace. Your report should be 800-1000 words and must cite supporting evidence from the readings (or the Week 1 discussion). Your report should be double-spaced and use APA format. The title page, reference list, and any appendices are not included in this suggested word count. You do not need to include an abstract.

2. If you are unemployed currently, contact your faculty member for guidance on choosing another firm.

3. The questions your report must address are: What business model does your company use? What is your organization’s vision and mission? What objective evidence is there that your organization’s vision, mission, and objectives is helping it gain a sustainable competitive advantage. Only briefly touch on what objective evidence, using the Three Tests of a Winning Strategy, is there that your organization’s vision, mission, and objectives support its strategy? (We will address the three tests in more detail later) Be sure to introduce your argument, explain your understanding of key terms, present your reasoning, and include independently verifiable supporting evidence.

Discussion 2: Disenfranchisement Of The Social Security Program

While Social Security provides a safety net of sorts for millions of people, there are still many groups who are not adequately served by this program. For example, there are disparities in the Social Security benefits women receive in comparison to men.

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Also, conduct some Internet research to select a population that you think might be disenfranchised by the Social Security program. Consider how the population you selected might be disenfranchised by the Social Security program.

By Day 4

Post a brief description of the population you selected. Then, explain how that population might be disenfranchised by the Social Security program based on research, statistics, or policy analysis.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Validate User Input Using Java Chars And Strings

In this assessment, you will design and code a Java console application that validates the data entry of a course code (like IT4782) and report back if the course code is valid or not valid. The application uses the Java char and String data types to implement the validation. You can use either the Toolwire environment or your local Java development environment to complete this assessment.

Your program output should look like the sample output provided in the “Validate User Input Using Java Chars and Strings Instructions” course file resource. Full instructions for successfully completing this assessment are included in this resource. Use the submission template (WeekXSolutionSubmissionTemplate.docx).

Your assessment will be scored on the following criteria:

Design a program that meets char and String processing requirements.

Code an application that validates data entry.

Test the application and document that testing.

Explain the approach taken to complete data validation and the major decisions made.

Identify relevant fundamental constructs in a submitted program.

Conduct a critical review of ONE of this week’s assigned scholarly readings (SEE ABOVE) addressing the items below. Be sure to provide literature support where applicable.

• Identify the paper you will be      critiquing, and provide insight as to why it was selected over the others.
• Describe the problem addressed. Why is      it important? Is this an agreed-upon problem?
• Describe what was accomplished by the      study. What was not achieved?
• Describe the methodology the study      utilized. Was it appropriate? Justify.
• Describe the study results and the      contribution it made to the body of knowledge, if any.
• Describe possible extensions to the      research, if any. In what ways can the study be enhanced or modified to      provide additional value? Discuss any limitations or assumptions held      within the study and how they can be addressed.
• Present the study experiment, and      outline the setup and resources utilized, if applicable. If no experiment      was conducted, describe how the authors conducted their study, gathered their      data, and the process by which they arrived at their conclusions. Are they      appropriate? What other methods could have been utilized?
• Identify at least two possible areas of      research extension or future work. Justify those areas of future work with      citations from the scholarly literature beyond the article being reviewed.

Justify your writing with evidence from the scholarly literature beyond the article being reviewed.

Length: 4-5 pages not including title page and references
