on the scenario below, Identify the possible assessment measures that are going to be used to identify whichproblems are most likely to occur that may affect the implementation of the newsystem. A manufacturing company had a system that collected all the safety and other test data. Thecompany produced reports that were submitted to the government to gain approval to sell theirproduct. The system was over 20 years old and was written in Fortran and assembly language. Theusers were perfectly happy with the system as it was. The upper-level management was concernedthat the two people who were maintaining the system were getting on in years and would beretiring soon, leaving the company with no one to maintain the system. Without the system, thecompany could conceivably not be able to sell any new products. Clearly, the problem did notbelong to the users. They had no issues with a system that they had been using successfully foryears. The assigned business analysts encountered resistance from the users that was supported bythe supervisory and the union management. The users did not have the time to spend telling thebusiness analysts what the system did and how it produced the reports for the government. Theusers did not need a new system or the trauma of change that comes with it. The two techniciansmaintaining the system were similarly too busy keeping the system running with changes to reportformats and modifications to regulations and had long since lost touch with the business aspects ofwhat they were doing, being so involved with the programming and technology. In this case, theproblem owner was in the ranks of the upper-level management and was not identified. Thebusiness analysts had orders from the upper level to define what the system did in such a way thatthe entire regulatory compliance system could be replaced by a new system written in Java or someother more modern language with more modern technology. The users of the old system could careless about getting a new modern system, preferring the system they were used to, and wereuncooperative. And there was a hard deadline: the day the last of the maintainers left the companyfor a well-earned retirement in the Florida Keys.Source: Adapted from: Blais, S.P. 2012.

Analyze the case presented below and answer the questions. John has recently joined an organization after being jobless for almost a year and suffering from severe financial crisis. This organization won the contract for the design of the brakes for the NAVY A-7 Air Craft with an innovative four rotor brake design. John was responsible for testing the brake design.

This product would affect 2500 people.Lori Williams met with two trainers, Sarah Ward and Caroline Smith. Lori explained that all of the AAs were creating the same documentation over and over again, but had to save it to their own desktops and were unable to share the information because they didn't have a document repository.

You are finance director in a public sector organization that has experienced difficulty attracting and retaining skilled staff. To assist in overcoming this problem, the board has engaged a consultant to recommend an improved benefits structure, to apply to all staff. The consultant has produced his report, and you have been asked to consider the proposed staff benefits structure, and make appropriate recommendations to the board. You study the report, conduct appropriate research, and assess the costs involved. You conclude that it will be necessary to increase staff costs, but you believe these will be offset by the efficiencies brought about by recruiting and retaining high-quality staff.

Individual Problems 15-5 Every year, management and labor renegotiate a new employment contract by sending their proposals to an arbitrator, who chooses the best proposal (effectively giving one side or the other $5 million). Each side can choose to hire, or not hire, an expensive labor lawyer (at a cost of $300,000) who is effective at preparing the proposal in the best light. If neither hires a lawyer or if both hire lawyers, each side can expect to win about half the time. If only one side hires a lawyer, it can expect to win three fourth, or 0.75, of the time.
The firm “Company Dew” traditionally provided only those benefits and services, which were necessary for the employees, such as, compensation due to work-related injury or illness. “Company Dew” never actually had that corporate flavor and had always ignored the human aspect. So far, the company had been successful by providing quality products and maintaining aggressive promotional campaign. But, of late, the managing director felt that there were several potential problems with the company’s policies regarding benefits and services. The most critical of them was the employee’s turnover. Historically, there had been massive employee turnovers at the junior level, which many thought to be the cause of long working hours (10-12 hours daily) and also along with very low wage compared to other industry. Of late, there had been remarkable cases of senior employees resigning. Few years back, some employees went to the managing director, demanding pension and other benefits such as profit…

Larkin and Oliver bought their first home in May 2019. Their real estate agent told them that all of the property tax would be deductible. Is this accurate? Yes. All property tax is deductible on the purchase of homes. Yes. Besides the complete property tax deduction, homeowners can also get an exclusion from capital gains (but only if they are a married couple, like Larkin and Oliver). No. The only tax benefit for homebuyers is that they are allowed to withdraw up to $10,000 from their IRA to go toward the down payment for their home. No. Homeowners can deduct a total of $10,000 between state, city, and property taxes.
