Your organization has successfully implemented a new order processing system. The system has now entered the maintenance phase and management has asked you to outline methods for gauging the maintenance program’s effectiveness. Provide your management with some key measurement indicators and examples of effectiveness. 

A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:

Learnability

Findability 

Satisfaction 

Efficiency 

Memorability 

Effectiveness 

Ease of Use

Error Handling

Remember, usability is not one-dimensional. It is a complex system of properties. That integrates many factors. It is subjective from user to user.

For this assignment, you are asked to explore one of these topics. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above.

You should evaluate a single variable in the context of the usability evaluation study cycle. Your paper will include the following:

1. Abstract

2. Title Page

3. Introduction

4. What is a Usability Study

5. How does a usability study include the term you’ve selected (e.g. satisfaction)

6. Literature Review of Term (e.g. detailed review of satisfaction and the various measures)

7. Future Research Topics To Consider

8. Conclusion

Considerations: 

• Must provide a minimum of seven scholarly sources that analyze the term and its meaning
• The paper should be a minimum of 10 pages. This does not include the cover page, abstract, or citations. You must use APA format throughout the entire paper.

Submit a paper with one and a half to two pages of information. Use APA format, including a cover page, an abstract statement, and references (five pages total,  including a separate title page, a separate abstract page, a separate references page, and two pages with your research findings.)

Include these topics in your paper:

People rely on data and information to make decisions.

1. Explain what each of these terms mean and give examples for each.

2. Explain how data is processed into useful information. 

Discussion 1: Digital Archival

Word count: 300+

Chapter 17 – Long-Term Digital Preservation 

Chapter 18 – Maintaining an Information Governance Program and Culture of Compliance

Digital preservation can be defined as the long-term, error-free storage of digital information, with means for retrieval and interpretation, for the entire time span the information is required to be retained.  Though this assessment holds true to the authors, business organizations continue to face significant challenges in meeting their LTDP needs, especially those organizations whose primary mission is to preserve and provide access to permanent records.

Looking at your identified industry for your paper, what considerations would have to be made in developing a long-term archival plan for a company within that industry?

Remember to cite your sources. Share an applicable personal experience
. Provide an outside source that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
*  At least one scholarly source should be used in the discussion. Be sure to use information from your readings. Use proper citations and references in your post.

Discussion 2: Reflection Activity

Word count: 300+

During this semester, we examined several areas of governance and ways in which governance models are applied and regulated by governments and industry since you have already examined several research articles, choose an interesting topic on governance models, frameworks, regulations, etc. 

Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate some viable topics.• Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student? 

• Is the problem rooted in the literature? 

• Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool? 

• Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed? 

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.

Portfolio project: 

Attached is the document for reference on what is already completed. 

Please make sure to fill in the pieces that are required in the below description.

No. of pages: 2 (for 2 and 5 points listed below)
The entire milestone should be a minimum of 2 pages with 10 peer-reviewed scholarly articles.  

You must include at least one figure or table. These must be of your own creation. Do not copy from other sources. 

Expectations are that it will be a scholarly work, using largely peer-reviewed resources, formatted to APA 7 style. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are significantly weighted.  

Scenario:

You have recently been hired as a Chief Information Governance Officer (CIGO) at a large company (You may choose your industry). This is a newly created position and department within the organization that was founded on the need to coordinate all areas of the business and to provide governance of the information. You will need to hire for all positions within your new department. The company has been in business for more than 50 years and in this time has collected vast amounts of data. Much of this data has been stored in hard copy format in filing cabinets at an offsite location but in recent times, collected business data is in electronic format stored in file shares. Customer data is being stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are currently no policies in place to address the handling of data, business, or customers. The company also desires to leverage the marketing power of social media but has no knowledge of the types of policies or legal issues they would need to consider. You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be collected to ensure that the information governance program is effective. The CEO and Board of Directors have tasked you to develop a proposal (paper) that will give them the knowledge needed to make informed decisions on an enterprise-wide Information Governance program, addressing (at a minimum) all of these issues, for the company.      

Part3:  This is the final part of the portfolio project. Please include the below sections:             

1. Executive Summary (Abstract) – beginning of the project ie; after title page.             

2. Introduction – COMPLETED

TIM 172A MOT I: Homework 2 

(Problem Solving, Functional Maps, Strategy)

Reading: Ulrich & Eppinger, “PDD”, Chapters 1-4; three class handouts on Canvas:  “Intel”; “Disk Drive Industry”; and “Competitive Strategy”. (Work on the homework problems and do the readings concurrently.)

———————————————————————————————————————

Homework Problems (Due Thursday, 07 October 2021):

Before working on the readings and problems develop, and submit a plan and time-schedule for producing “high-quality” homework (your product) in efficiently and on time. 

For each problem use the structured problem-solving process: define the problem; plan the treatment of the problem; execute the plan; check your work; learn and generalize. 

1. Disk Drive Industry: Read the disk drive industry handout. Carefully study the functional maps in Fig 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.7. For each map answer the following: (1) what is the meaning and significance (value) of the map? (2) how would a disk drive company use this map? and (3) what high-level conclusions can be drawn from the map?

Using the appropriate functional map attempt to predict the nominal price that a disk drive manufacturer would charge (in “1982 dollars”) for 1MB of memory in the year 2016? Convert the “1982 dollars” price to an equivalent “2016 dollars” price, and attempt to compare your result against some actual manufacturer’s price.

2. Intel: Read the Intel Case Study and then work on the following problems. 

a) Perform a competitive analysis of Intel’s industry/market landscape using Porter’s five (six) forces model. Be sure to clearly explain your approach and results. Draw appropriate conclusions. 

b) What are the key relationships between (the players involved in) each “force” of the business landscape? (E.g., how did Intel deal with competitors, etc.) 

c) Using the appropriate (clearly stated) framework, assess Intel’s competitive, technology, and product/market strategy from the company’s inception (in 1968) to 1997. How have Intel’s technology strategy, product market strategy, and developmental goals changed from its inception in 1968 to 1997? What were the key driving forces that triggered these changes? 

Suggestion: Use the three-stage process on Pages 17-19 of the “Lecture Notes for Competitive Strategies in Technology Management” handout. Stage 3 of the process will require the creation of the appropriate functional maps for the evolution of technology, product, manufacturing, market, etc.
