  Emerging Issues in the Field Of Disability

  ASSIGNMENT 2: INVESTIGATION/ANALYSIS OF TWO ISSUES

  APPROXIMATELY 2500-3000 WORDS

  Builds on your proposal and feedback received (an extension of your proposal): i.e. Select any two issues relevant to the field of disability, and/or through your own investigation, and for which you have written an initial proposal as noted in Assignment 1, above, and have received constructive feedback from.

  Write an essay expanding on your chosen two issues, following the four points of the format given below, and supporting your discussion at all stages with relevant literature sources:

  (1) Describe each of the two issues in greater detail, building on the information provided in your proposal and clearly utilising feedback/suggestions received. It is okay to use some of the material from your proposal, in fact this is encouraged, but do try to restate it and add further information to highlight your evolving understanding of each issue.

  (2) Identify what you see as any causal connections linking the two issues (i.e. are there factors you consider are underlying causes of/contributors to the issues you have identified?). If there is no apparent connection, make an attempt to explain why this seems to be the case.

  (3) Where you are able to do so, outline how you think any of the theoretical perspectives we have touched on in the topic, or which you are otherwise aware of, help to explain each of the issues (more discussion about this as the semester progresses).

  (4) Discuss whether it appears that there is hope of resolving or ameliorating (reducing) one or both of the issues you have been examining, to the satisfaction of all parties involved, especially those who have a disability. If so, describe what you consider needs to be done in order to bring about such a resolution. If not, then identify or suggest reasons why resolution seems either impossible or very unlikely.

  • Incorporating literature sources/references in addition to those in your proposal is important to indicate further reading and research in preparing the major assignment;

  • Utilising feedback from your proposal is a key indicator of your engagement with the topic, and with the assessment and feedback process.

  When responding to this case, DO NOT rely on your impressions.

  If you think about it, all business problems are case studies. To effectively manage the situation, you must approach the problem in a methodological manner. A proven technique to do this is to:

  1. List the facts;
  2. Identify the issues;
  3. based on the facts of the case and your knowledge; analyze the issues of the case;
  4. Prepare recommended solutions and their possible outcomes;
  5. Implement the optimal solution (not always the one with the best outcome, since the cost or other things could be impractical); and
  6. Monitor the implementation and the outcomes.

  So when you read and prepare to respond to this case, please follow the above guidelines. I don’t necessarily expect you to perform steps 4-6, but I do expect your response to be based on the facts and your knowledge.

  Case A Day in the Life

  Rachel, the project manager of a large information systems project, arrives at her office early to get caught up with work before her co-workers and project team arrive. However, as she enters the office she meets Neil, one of her fellow project managers, who also wants to get an early start on the day. Neil has just completed a project overseas. They spend 10 minutes socializing and catching up on personal news.

  It takes Rachel 10 minutes to get to her office and settle in. She then checks her voice mail and turns on her computer. She was at her client’s site the day before until 7:30 p.m. and has not checked her e-mail or voice mail since 3:30 p.m. the previous day. There are 7 phone messages, 16 e-mails, and 4 notes left on her desk. She spends 15 minutes reviewing her schedule and “to do” lists for the day before responding to messages that require immediate attention.

  Rachel spends the next 25 minutes going over project reports and preparing for the weekly status meeting. Her boss, who just arrived at the office, interrupts her. They spend 20 minutes discussing the project. He shares a rumor that a team member is using stimulants on the job. She tells him that she has not seen anything suspicious but will keep an eye on the team member.

  The 9:00 a.m. project status meeting starts 15 minutes late because two of the team members have to finish a job for a client. Several people go to the cafeteria to get coffee and doughnuts while others discuss last night’s baseball game. The team members arrive, and the remaining 45 minutes of the progress review meeting surface project issues that have to be addressed and assigned for action.

  After the meeting Rachel goes down the hallway to meet with Victoria, another IS project manager. They spend 30 minutes reviewing project assignments since the two of them share personnel. Victoria’s project is behind schedule and in need of help. They broker a deal that should get Victoria’s project back on track.

  She returns to her office and makes several phone calls and returns several e-mails before walking downstairs to visit with members of her project team. Her intent is to follow up on an issue that had surfaced in the status report meeting. However, her simple, “Hi guys, how are things going?” elicits a stream of disgruntled responses from the “troops.” After listening patiently for over 20 minutes, she realizes that among other things several of the client’s managers are beginning to request features that were not in the original project scope statement. She tells her people that she will get on this right away.

  Returning to her office she tries to call her counterpart John at the client firm but is told that he is not expected back from lunch for another hour. At this time, Eddie drops by and says, “How about lunch?” Eddie works in the finance office and they spend the next half hour in the company cafeteria gossiping about internal politics. She is surprised to hear that Jonah Johnson, the director of systems projects, may join another firm. Jonah has always been a powerful ally.

  She returns to her office, answers a few more e-mails, and finally gets through to John. They spend 30 minutes going over the problem. The conversation ends with John promising to do some investigating and to get back to her as soon as possible.

  Rachel puts a “Do not disturb” sign on her door, and lies down in her office. She listens to the third and fourth movement of Ravel’s string quartet in F on headphones.

  Rachel then takes the elevator down to the third floor and talks to the purchasing agent assigned to her project. They spend the next 30 minutes exploring ways of getting necessary equipment to the project site earlier than planned. She finally authorizes express delivery.

  When she returns to her office, her calendar reminds her that she is scheduled to participate in a conference call at 2:30. It takes 15 minutes for everyone to get online. During this time, Rachel catches up on some e-mail. The next hour is spent exchanging information about the technical requirements associated with a new version of a software package they are using on systems projects like hers

  Rachel decides to stretch her legs and goes on a walk down the hallway where she engages in brief conversations with various co-workers. She goes out of her way to thank Chandra for his thoughtful analysis at the status report meeting. She returns to find that John has left a message for her to call him back ASAP. She contacts John, who informs her that, according to his people, her firm’s marketing rep had made certain promises about specific features her system would provide. He doesn’t know how this communication breakdown occurred, but his people are pretty upset over the situation. Rachel thanks John for the information and immediately takes the stairs to where the marketing group resides.

  She asks to see Mary, a senior marketing manager. She waits 10 minutes before being invited into her office. After a heated discussion, she leaves 40 minutes later with Mary agreeing to talk to her people about what was promised and what was not promised.

  She goes downstairs to her people to give them an update on what is happening. They spend 30 minutes reviewing the impact the client’s requests could have on the project schedule. She also shares with them the schedule changes she and Victoria had agreed to. After she says good night to her team, she heads upstairs to her boss’s office and spends 20 minutes updating him on key events of the day. She returns to her office and spends 30 minutes reviewing e-mails and project documents. She logs on to the MS project schedule of her project and spends the next 30 minutes working with “what-if” scenarios. She reviews tomorrow’s schedule and writes some personal reminders before starting off on her 30-minute commute home.

  Case Study 1: User Interfaces

  $12.50

  Due Week 2 and worth 90 points
  Early user interfaces were designed with little or no consideration for the end user. This was largely due to technical and hardware limitations. The poor interface design required a specific skill set for users and limited the mass appeal of computers. Modern interfaces are much more user friendly. Theo Mandel wrote about the five (5) golden rules of interface design. Read Mandel’s article located at http://www.theomandel.com/docs/Mandel-GoldenRules.pdf

  Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Describe three (3) interfaces you interact with on a daily basis.
  2. Analyze each interface you identified in Question one (1) and assess how it adheres to Mandel’s five (5) golden rules.
  3. Suggest two (2) changes for each interface to achieve a more user-friendly design and justify your suggestion.
  4. Provide three (3) screen shots for each interface. Note: These screen shots should be labeled and appear in the appendix of the case study. These pages are not included in the page requirement for the assignment.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

  Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

  The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Describe the usability properties of interactive systems.

  Jackson Daniels Case Study

  $3.00

  Jackson Daniels graduated from Lynchberg State College two years ago. Since graduating from the college, he has worked in the accounting department of Lynchberg Manufacturing. Daniels was recently asked to prepare a sales budget for the year 2011. He conducted a thorough analysis and  came out with projected sales of 250,000 units of product. That represents a 25  percent increase over 2010.

  Daniels went to lunch with his best friend, Jonathan Walker, to celebrate the completion of his first solo job. Walker noticed Daniels seemed very distant. He asked what the matter was.

  Daniels stroked his chin, ran  his hand through his bushy, black hair, took another drink of scotch, and  looked straight into the eyes  of his friend  of 20  years. ‘Jon, I think I made a mistake with the budget.’

  What do  you mean? Walker answered.

  You know how we developed a new process to manufacture soaking tanks to keep the ingredients fresh?

  Yes, Walker answered.

  Well, I projected twice the level of sales for that product than will likely occur. Are you sure, Walker asked.

  I checked my numbers. I’m sure. It was just a mistake on  my part, Daniels replied. So, what are  you going to do  about it, asked Walker.

  I think I should report it to Pete. He’s the one  who acted on  the numbers to hire additional workers to produce the soaking tanks, Daniels said.

  Wait a second, Walker said. How do  you know there won’t be extra demand for the product? You and  I both know demand is a tricky number to project especially when a new product comes on  the market. Why don’t you sit back and  wait to see what happens?

  But what happens if I’m right and  the sales numbers were wrong? What happens if the demand

  does  not increase beyond what I now know to be the correct projected level, Daniels asks. Well,  you can tell Pete about it at that time. Why raise a red  flag now when there may be no need?â? Walker states.

  As the lunch comes to a conclusion, Walker pulls Daniels aside and  says,  Jack, this could mean your job. If I were in your position I’d protect my own interests first.

  1. What should an employee do when he or she discovers that there is an error in a projection? Why do you suggest that action? Would your answer change if the error was not likely to affect other aspects of the operation  such as employment? Why or why not?
  2. Identify the stakeholders potentially affected by what Daniels decides to do. How might each stakeholder be affected by Daniels’s action and  decision? Use ethical reasoning to support your answer.
  3. Assume Daniels is both a CPA and holds the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certification granted by the IMA. Use the ethical standards of these two  organizations to identify what Daniels should do  in this situation.
