For this assignment, you will take a closer look at income inequality as well as differences in racial distribution. You will then discuss potential connections between income inequality and racial population distributions and patterns of segregation within this context.

You will use actual data drawn from the 2000 Census of the United States to compare the places you have lived with the national distribution. You will also examine some other places in Mississippi and South Dakota. Why these places? Explore and you will see. Crunch the numbers, reflect on them, and answer the questions that follow.

Learning Objectives
1.To describe and examine patterns of income distribution in the United States in 2000.
2.To describe and examine patterns in geographic racial minorities in the United States in 2000.
3.Analyze the degree of geographic variation in income and ethnic composition.
4.Discuss how life chances are associated with the social contexts of place.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will complete two tables, one representing distributions of incomes and another representing distributions of racial or ethnic groups. See Unit 7 Tables to access the spreadsheet you will fill out for this assignment. After you fill out the tables, answer the questions under “For this assignment” in order to submit a complete assignment.

Table 1: The Distribution of Income in the United States

•Step 1: Go to CensusScope. On “Census Trend Charts” click “INCOME.” This will offer data on the household income in the United States in 2000. Household income reflects the combined income of all members of the family. Fill in the column on Table 1 under USA, rounding decimals to whole numbers (for instance, round 9.54% to 10%. At the bottom of the table, add the sum of the initial three rows of percentages to determine the percent of households earning $25,000 per year or less.
•Step 2: Examine the degree to which Hennepin County, MN (the location of Capella University’s headquarters), compares with the national income distribution. To do this, go to “CHANGE LOCATION.” Click the radio button for “CHOOSE STATE.” Select Minnesota on the drop down menu and click “VIEW CHART.” This gives you the income distribution for this state. We want to look at a more restricted geographic area, so go again to the “CHANGE LOCATION” menu, click the radio button for “CHOOSE COUNTY,” and select Hennepin County. How do these numbers compare with the national distributions? Fill in the table. When done ZOOM OUT twice so that you can return to select a new state.
•Step 3: Replicate the previous sequences to find the income distribution for the county of your hometown and fill in those numbers. How does your home county compare to Hennepin County and the U.S.? (Note: If you have trouble finding your county or a nearby area, choose another place, perhaps a vacation spot, someplace where you might want to live, the home county of the President, or whatever you like).
•Step 4: Now look at Tunica County, Mississippi, fill in the statistics, and reflect on differences between that area and your home county.
•Step 5: Now look at Bennett County, South Dakota, fill in the statistics, and reflect on differences observed.
Table 2: The Distribution of Races in the United States by State

•Step 1: Go to CensusScope. On Census Trend Charts click “POPULATON BY RACE.” This will offer data on racial composition in 2000, as well as other years. Fill in the column on Table 2 under U.S.A. using percentage representations from the 2000 Census.
•Steps 2–5: Follow the same instructions for Steps 2–5 of Table 1 above, but this time look for national racial distributions.
For this Assignment:

•Submit tables 1 and 2. You may use the template provided, or you may construct your own. This should be clearly labeled and submitted as either a part of your written project (in MS Word) or as an MS Excel spreadsheet. The most important element is for you to present organized and complete data as listed in the directions.
•Answer the following questions in a short answer format. You should number the responses to correspond with the correct question. If you would like to restate the questions, that is also acceptable. This project should not be submitted in a formal essay format.
•Compare the incomes in these different places in our nation to the income distribution in the United States. What patterns do you observe? Offer some sociological explanations for why these differences may exist.
•Compare the racial and ethnic composition of these different places to the distribution in the United States. Again, what patterns do you observe? Does this difference in distribution indicate patterns of segregation? Why or why not? Again, offer some sociological explanations for why these differences may exist.
•In comparing income distribution differences and racial population distributions, does race and income seem to be related? What are you basing this conclusion on?
•Consider lives lived in different social contexts and reflect on the life chances of four poor children, one from Tunica County, one from Bennett County, one from Hennepin County, and one from your hometown (or the area chosen for Tables 1 and 2). Would these different social contexts have an impact on their lives? How? Should society get involved with addressing any noted differences in opportunity? If so, how? If not, why not?

MGT220. Information Technology

TERM PAPER FOR MASTERS DEGREE

This term paper is comprised of two parts: Part 1 requires you to write a statement of what you perceive the role of IT management in organizations. Part 2 requires you to address the IT management challenges that e-business brings.

In addressing both Parts, be sure to back up your arguments with facts and concepts you have learned in this course. We are not interested in uninformed opinions. At the end of each piece, the reader should be able to say: “This student knows his/her stuff!”

Each Part should be five pages long, single-spaced, using 12 point font (either Arial or Calibri).

Part 1. The role of the IT manager in organizations

IT management arose in the 1990s when it became clear that that software developers and hardware engineers had neither the insights nor interest in guiding organizations on the effective use of information technology to help them improve their business operations. Both software developers and hardware engineers focus on the technical aspects of computers and do not spend much time reflecting on the management implications of technology. The IT manager, in contrast, is primarily concerned with how information technology should be integrated into business operations.

Assume you have taken over responsibility to play the lead IT management role in Magnum Enterprises. Your boss, Rachel Heigl, is Magnum’s CIO. The IT management group is comprised of six people who you will be supervising.
Ms. Heigl is an enlightened manager, and she believes that if you are to carry out your responsibilities effectively, you need to work with her in defining your IT management role. As a first step, she invites you to write a short statement where you describe what you see to be your role as head of the IT management effort at Magnum.

In writing your statement (5 pages long, single-spaced, using 12 point font with either Arial or Calibri font), describe how you see your role in integrating software, hardware, and business management capabilities. What challenges do you anticipate encountering as head of the IT management effort at Magnum? By serving as the centerpiece of software, hardware, and management capabilities, how the efforts of you and your team make Magnum a better organization?

Part 2. Handling the e-business challenge at Magnum Enterprises

Six months after you take over the lead IT management role at Magnum, the CIO, Ms. Rachel Heigl, is pleased with your work. She has just attended a meeting of Magnum’s executive committee (the committee comprised of the most senior managers of Magnum), where the CEO and Vice President of marketing have indicated that Magnum’s mediocre e-business capabilities must be strengthened. As CIO, Ms. Heigl is given primary responsibility in improving Magnum’s e-business performance. She in turn puts you in charge of a small task force comprised of representatives from the operations, marketing, finance, and legal departments.

1. Why is it important to take into account the views of operations, marketing, finance, and legal when working on strengthening e-business capabilities? Be specific – no vague generalities, please.

2. Based on what you have learned in your readings, what are key technical challenges you will encounter in re-engineering the e-business function at Magnum? How can these be addressed (provide brief suggestions).

3. What are the key management challenges you will face?

Your response to Part 2 should be five pages long, single-spaced, using 12 point font with either Arial or Calibri font.

Assignment needs to be written at Graduate Level.

Marketing Plan

You work in a company that offers management training. Your market research
effort indicates that in your community (you live in New York City), there is hot
demand for courses on project management. A number of competitors are
offering such courses, and all appear to be doing well.

Your market research effort entailed reviewing the course offerings of
competitors, interviewing the training directors at fifteen companies, and
conducting a survey of students who have taken at least one of your courses
during the past two years. Based on this market research effort, you decide to
develop a suite of four courses, each of which lasts two days. They are:
· Project management fundamentals
· Project planning and control
· Project finance and budgeting
· Project risk and quality management

We have just discussed the product above. Now, put together a very short
marketing plan that addresses pricing, promotion, and place (i.e., distribution).
For each of these items, discuss what needs to be taken into account in order to
deal with them effectively (e.g.,What do we need to think about when pricing our courses?). Then briefly describe how the item will be handled (e.g., What steps can be taken to promote the courses?).

In putting together your micro-marketing plan, be practical. This micro plan is a
first step in getting a handle on your marketing strategy. Ultimately, your
company will develop a full scale marketing plan – but that will occur later.
