    Business Report – Gorilla Health Bars Pty Ltd Write a 1,000 word Business Sustainability Report for Gorilla Health Bars CEO Janet Jones, in which you make specific recommendations, based on your research, about how the company can become more sustainable. Company Background and Issue: Gorilla Health Bars is a Victorian company that produces health-oriented snack bars made of fruit, cereals and nuts. The business has been operating for four years, and has recently begun to make a small profit with the increased public focus on healthy eating. The CEO of Gorilla Health Bars (GHB), Janet Jones, wants to improve the Corporate Sustainability focus of the company. She believes that a better sustainability profile will enhance the GHB company reputation, and hopes also that it might in the long run help the company finances. You are a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consultant from Deepgreen Enterprises, which advises clients on how best to implement CSR initiatives in their organisations. The GHB CEO has a limited budget but is prepared to spend whatever it takes to give the company an improved CSR profile and operating system. The company operates in rural Victoria in an old 2-storey factory warehouse with attached office. The factory area is built with corrugated iron, so it is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. Consequently, the electricity bills for heating and cooling the premises are very high. The building was constructed in the 1960s and has never been renovated. Another problem which the CEO has reported is that production of the health bars consumes large amounts of water. As water rates have been increasing rapidly in the last 2 years, the CEO is keen to try and reduce water consumption where possible.

    Assessment Task 1 –Scenario
    Task description
    This is a scenario based task in which you are to envisage yourself in an Education Support role at Piccadilly P-12 College. Alfie, aged 7, has attended the school since prep. Up until 2 weeks ago, Alice was assigned as his integration aide, however she has been transferred to the grade 5-6 area to work in an EAL role for the remainder of the year. You have recently attended a program support group meeting where a handover from Alice to you took place. You were provided with basic background information, and Alfie is your focus student for the 3 days that he attends Piccadilly. A one page profile outlining Alfie’s strengths and the Piccadilly P-12 Policy Booklet were given to you. Use this information and your own research to respond to the questions that follow.
    Background Information:
    Alfie is 7 years old and lives at home with his mum, dad and brother, George. He has Downs Syndrome and attends Piccadilly P-12 College 3 days per week and the local special school 2 days per week.
    Alfie has a great sense of humour and communicates using Key Word Sign (Makaton) and gestures. He understands more than you think he may be able to and enjoys being engaged in conversations, particularly about things he is interested in.
    Alfie enjoys being around his peers but has limited social skills which often result in him misinterpreting the intentions of others. He has a tendency to lash out physically and if he feels threatened or agitated, he may attempt to escape the environment. On occasion, this has resulted in him leaving the school grounds.
    Alfie has some difficulty retaining instructions of more than one step and needs assistance to stay on task. He can be disruptive if the work expectations are above his concentration or developmental capability.
    Alfie responds well to visual instructions, and activities that incorporate his interests, as well as opportunities for hands on manipulation of materials.
    Alfie has frequent colds, upper respiratory infections and small ear canals resulting in impacted wax, which has caused a moderate permanent hearing loss in his right ear. He has sensory processing issues and is over sensitive to loud noises and can become quite distressed if they occur without warning. He has a high pain threshold so may not react as expected when injuries or illness occur.
    Alfie has poor fine motor skills and finds tasks such as handwriting, cutting and puzzles quite challenging. An occupational therapist from scope suggested that staff engage him in Fingergym (a fine motor readiness program), strengthening activities for his wrists and hands as well as games with his peers that require basic hand eye coordinator skills.
    Alfie also has challenges with his gross motor coordination. He participates in PMP (perceptual motor program) for 25 minutes each day at his special school and his teacher and support staff at Piccadilly P-12 College subtly incorporate elements of this into the daily schedule where they can.
    Alfie’s integration aide, Alice, has been working with him since prep. She has a great relationship with him but will be working in a leadership role in the grade 5-6 area in semester 2 of this year.
    Alfie’s parents, Alice and his teacher created the attached one page profile to assist the new integration aide to develop a holistic understanding of how to best support Alfie.

    SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND REDESIGN PROJECT – PHASE 1 INSTRUCTIONS
    The System Analysis and Redesign Project focus on a cloud-based solution for a company you
    understand well. The purpose of this project is to ensure that you know how to analyze an organization
    and its’ associated systems in order to determine which information systems components need to be
    redesigned in order for the organization to operate more effectively. The project should highlight your
    advanced skills in information systems, displaying your knowledge of all domains of our field.
    The key objective of the project is to analyze and design an existing system that is outdated and a new
    system that can function in cloud-based and/or a distributed computing architectural environments.
    The re-design will be based upon at least one strong and well-respected information systems and/or
    informatics framework and several associated standards. The framework and associated standards
    (e.g. COBIT, NIST) will be used to benchmark the existing system to the new system and determine if
    improvements were made.
    Your project will be separated into 3 phases:
    Phase 1: Introduction, problem statement, feasibility study, and project plan
    Phase 2: Methodology to compare the old and new systems and the systems analysis
    Phase 3: Results of comparison of the old and new systems and the systems design
    Phase 1 Report Requirements
    This report must contain the following elements:
    I. See the grading rubric for all minimums.
    II. Cover page
    III. Table of Contents (TOC)
    IV. Every section must be well supported with scholarly information systems journal articles.
    V. Introduction and conclusion sections
    a. You will write an introduction and conclusion to the project that is at least 500 words
    and well supported by scholarly journal articles.
    b. The conclusion should be the last heading and conclude the current phase and state the
    upcoming objectives and deliverables in the next phase.
    c. This should include a description of the client organization (including the organizational
    unit or functions served by the system), motivation for the system (that is, why the
    client organization wants the system, what problems it is encountering, what
    opportunities would such a system provide), the users of the potential system, and the
    general functionality the client wants in the system (the users and general functionality
    form a statement of scope for the project and system).
    d. Introduce the primary goals of this particular phase, the coinciding objectives, and the
    outcomes
    VI. Problem statement
    a. You must select either a business you work with or an organization you know well and
    have expertise on that allows you to re-design an information system using your
    knowledge.

    Response Paper 4: Blade Runner
    Computer Ethics: Spring, 2019
    Due Monday, May 6
    Write a concise, clear, and coherent 2-3 page essay on the following topic. Your essay should have a clearly stated thesis that specifies what you will prove. Always give reasons for every substantive claim you make, informed by our discussions in class, and be careful not to leave out any steps in your reasoning. Be sure to answer the question, the whole question, and nothing but the question. Also, be careful to address the objections of those who might disagree with you. You are expected to demonstrate your mastery of the material covered in class, especially with respect to the canons of good reasoning.
    In the film, Blade Runner, the “replicants” are genetically engineered beings designed to be just like humans only better. The motto of Tyrell Corporation is: “More human than human.” Explain the significance of this motto, especially as it relates to the “retirement” of the replicants.
    That is, why does it seem obvious to the human characters that replicants must be “retired”? What are they thinking? What does this say about what it means to be human?
    Note: This does not ask why killing replicants is right (maybe it’s not); it asks why humans in the film believe the replicants must be hunted down and killed. You should not merely assert that the replicants are dangerous and might be killers. So are human beings; some humans are killers. Also, note that “retirement” is not “arrest.” Replicants can be shot in the back while running away, but this is generally forbidden with respect to human criminals. Apparently, replicants are not criminals, and criminal conduct does not explain why they are “retired.” What makes killing replicants on sight OK while killing humans (even baby killers) is not?
    HINT: Your analysis should bear in mind our discussion of in-group vs. out-group dynamics, especially as this relates to the relationship between technology and what it means to be human.

  • The question is to estimate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for an actual corporation…

    Note
    This is a guideline and is not meant to show you exactly step-by-step how to do the project (although it comes close to doing that). In the “real world”, your boss is not going to show you how to do everything. She is going to ask you to do something and you are going to have to do it to the best of your ability.
    Objective
    The assignment is to estimate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for an actual corporation as of the current time. Actual managers would need to know their company’s WACC as a starting point to estimate the discount rate to use in the net present value analysis of new projects.
    The project also develops student skills in using elementary financial management models, in dealing with situations where there are too much or too little data, in employing publicly available data sources with little guidance, and in applying sound judgment when encountering naturally occurring measurement errors.
