Jack Nelson’s Problem

Written and copyrighted by Gary Dessler, PhD.

As a new member of the board of directors for a local bank, Jack Nelson was being introduced to all the employees in the home office. When he was introduced to Ruth Johnson, he was curious about her work and asked her what the machine she was using did. Johnson replied that she really did not know what the machine was called or what it did. She explained that she had only been working there for 2 months. However, she did know precisely how to operate the machine. According to her supervisor, she was an excellent employee.

At one of the branch offices, the supervisor in charge spoke to Nelson confidentially, telling him that “something was wrong,” but she didn’t know what. For one thing, she explained, employee turnover was too high, and no sooner had one employee been put on the job than another one resigned. With customers to see and loans to be made, she continued, she had little time to work with the new employees as they came and went.

All branch supervisors hired their own employees without communication with the home office or other branches. When an opening developed, the supervisor tried to find a suitable employee to replace the worker who had quit.

After touring the 22 branches and finding similar problems in many of them, Nelson wondered what the home office should do or what action he should take. The banking firm generally was regarded as being a well-run institution that had grown from 27 to 191 employees during the past 8 years. The more he thought about the matter, the more puzzled Nelson became. He couldn’t quite put his finger on the problem, and he didn’t know whether to report his findings to the president.

Questions:

1. What do you think is causing some of the problems in the bank’s home office and branches?

2. Do you think setting up an HR unit in the main office would help?

3. What specific functions should an HR unit carry out? What HR functions would then be carried out by supervisors and other line managers? What role should the Internet play in the new HR organization?

Write a program, myfilehide2, that encrypts a file — ASCII or binary — and saves the encrypted file. myfilehide2 reads from stdin a string that specifies the file to be encrypted followed by an integer. For example,

% myfilehide2
a.out 7

myfilehide2 saves the encrypted content in a new file whose name has “.E2” added as a suffix. After doing so, the app deletes the original file by calling remove(). In the above example, a.out.E2. We restrict input file names to be less than 15 characters and output file names to be less than 18 characters to account for the 3 character suffix. Spaces are not allowed in a file name. The filename and number must be separated by one or more space (‘ ‘) or tab (‘t’) characters. The number must be a single digit — either 0, 1, …, 7 — and end with ‘n’ which is generated on stdin when the ENTER/RETURN key is pressed on our lab machines. All other input of different format are disallowed and should result in a suitable error message on stdout followed by app termination by calling exit(1).

use the library function getchar() to read the input byte-by-byte. When a space character or tab character is encountered, assume the filename has ended and store it as a string in a 1-D char array of size 16. Of course, that is assuming that the filename has not exceeded 15 characters. Instead of the constants 15 and 16, use the C preprocessor directive #define to specify your own macro to reduce the potential for run-time bugs. Read the single digit (0, 1, …, 7) into variable, char numpos, and convert numpos into a decimal number, unsigned int decpos, when interpreted as a decimal number. For example, the ASCII character ‘3’ stored in numpos is convered to the decimal number 3, not the decimal encoding of the ASCII character ‘3’ which is 51.

Do not use any string processing library function to perform the input parsing task. The parsing chore can be implemented with a few lines of code. Delegate the input parsing task to

void inputcheck(void);

which stores a valid filename input a global 1-D char array. Make the variable numpos also global. 

After inputcheck() returns (it may not return if the input is ill-formatted), main() opens the input file to read and creates an output file with suffix “.E2” to write the encrypted bytes. If either of the two operations is unsuccessful, main() prints a suitable error message to stdout and terminates by calling exit(1). Otherwise, like in Problem 2, lab3, myfilehide2 reads the content of the input file byte by byte using fgetc(). Unlike myfilehide, myfilehide2 flips the bit value at the bit position specified by decpos and writes the resultant byte into the output file. For example, if an input byte has bits 00001111 and decpos equals 2, the encrypted byte is 00001011. Note that the rightmost bit at position 0 is considered the least significant bit. As with myfilehide, myfilehide2 has the property that running the app again on the encrypted file with the same digit as second arguments decrypts the file. Perform a similar cleanup as myfilehide so that the encrypted file with suffix “.E2” is deleted. Use Makefile to compile your app. Test and verify that it works correctly.

 Summary:

Each student is to select one component from each of the tools (R, Python, and SQL Query) with which they will prepare a 15-page minimum (excluding cover page, citations, and exhibit section) written case analysis. The student will use APA 6.0 or 7.0, but not both, and submit in a single Word document. The report must include a one-page executive summary, a table of contents, and a section for exhibits.  The analysis is to provide an industry scenario in which the components will address one significant organizational issue. The report should suggest how to resolve the issue, based on the operational analytics concepts explored in this class. The student should prepare the report, in a professional manner, to present to Information Technology (IT) Governance with recommendations to address the issue.

The preparation of this report will require considerable time.  It is recommended that students complete as much individual research as possible. Additional information may be secured through journals, peer-reviewed articles, dissertations, etc.

Each student will submit the written case analysis in the assignment area of Moodle, as a Word document, by Thursday of the final week. 

APA component is as follows: Paragraphs are to be double-spaced. The font is to be Times New Roman and font size is to be 12. Minimum of six scholarly references and use of proper APA citations.

Your case analysis should include the following: 

• Identify the most important facts surrounding the organization issue.
• Identify the key components of the organization issue.
• Specify a minimum of three courses of action in an effort to correct the organizational issue.
• Evaluate each course of action.
• Recommend the best course of action.
• Provide analytical data to support your recommendation with exhibits such as charts, graphs, and plots.
• Executive summary
• Conclusion

1) See Part VII (Chapters 23–25) in our textbook, “The United States in International Context,” and/or additional resources such as those listed below. Specify the single most important lesson from the experience of some other country that YOU would recommend for use in the development or reform of U.S. health policy—and explain WHY.

(2) Describe IN DETAIL how you believe this lesson would apply to the U.S. context—including the benefits you would expect and likely obstacles to its successful implementation (cultural values, political alignments, stakeholder interests, economic factors, etc.).

(3) How would you propose to effectively address the objections and concerns of those whose positions on the matter differ from your own?

First assignment 4-1

Discussion: Open Forum for Criminal Investigation

During Weeks 4–7, you participate in an Open Forum Discussion concerning the criminal investigative analysis you are conducting for your assignments and Final Project. This is your opportunity to discuss aspects of the case and seek clarification about elements of evidence that will support your conclusion of the case and eventual report to the law enforcement agency that requested your services.

When analyzing a case, it is essential that the analyst has access to all investigative material. As you review the case material, determine:

• Do you have all information relevant to the crime scene?
  • Photos
  • Reports
  • Interviews
  • Forensic Reports
• Do you have all information relevant to the medical examination?
  • Autopsy Reports
  • Autopsy Photos
  • Forensic Reports
• Do you have all relevant information for the victim?

In this Open Forum Discussion, you begin to collaborate with your colleagues to determine your initial thoughts about the case.

Review the evidence of the case.

• What are your initial thoughts on the crime scene?
• What other things would you like to know about the victim?
• As you reviewed the documents, are there other areas about which you would like additional information?

Second Assignment 2 

Assignment: Investigating a Crime: Phase I – Organization and Summary of Information

A local law enforcement agency has asked you to review the case evidence files of a crime and provide a report and presentation concerning the offender and the victim. All the evidence has been provided in the Learning Resources. It has been organized using a standard method for your convenience, but you might experiment with your own system of organization. The file titled “Document Index” will assist you locating specific evidence relevant to the case.

For this Assignment, you will conduct Phase I of the process: Organization and Summary of Information.

In a 2- to 3-page report:

Provide the facts of the case concerning the offense, victim, and offender. Also, provide a summary of notes specific to the victim. This should include:

Victim

• Current relationship status (e.g., single, married, divorced)
• Employment history
• Hobbies/routine activities
• Educational history
• Family history (e.g., parents, children)
• Personality issues
• Mental health issues
• Criminal history
• Substance/alcohol use abuse
• Use of social media
