Posted on | by Linus | Leave a Comment on This week, you will finalize your project research and analysis on the emerging

This week, you will finalize your project research and analysis on the emerging technology topic you selected in Week 1. This week, we learned that flows of knowledge through industry networks benefit the technological outcomes and enhance the competitive position of a firm.
Tasks:
Utilizing the concepts introduced this week, address the following tasks pertaining to your project topic:
Given your emerging technology selection, conduct research on pertinent industry forums that promote knowledge sharing for that emerging technology. Some examples of industry forums are standards organizations, open groups, professional organizations and associations, professional social networks, technology groups, cooperative technical organizations, academic and professional education and publication institutions, and professional certification consortiums. Identify specific industry forums that relate to your emerging technology of choice.
Discuss the benefits for your organization of belonging to each industry forum identified. Explain how your organization would leverage the knowledge-networking channels resulting from its participation in or membership of these forums.
Analyze specific ways for your organization to improve its knowledge-networking position and benefits by considering network ties that would strengthen its knowledge-networking-degree centrality and betweenness centrality.
Consider possible alliances with other firms in the same, or a related, industry space as your organization, with the objective to build a competitive advantage in the adoption of your chosen emerging technology. What specific complementary attributes that are pertinent for optimizing the adoption of your chosen emerging technology would you look for to forge such alliances? Examine effective governance processes that your organization could apply to manage the risks associated with cospecialized assets and asset specificity that could result from establishing alliances.
As you complete the analysis of the adoption of your selected emerging technology for your organization, discuss possible customized workplace and human resources considerations.
Final Paper:
Review your previous course project assignments and revise them as per instructor feedback. Integrate all your work into one paper.
The final deliverable for your project should be in 12- to 17- pages in a Microsoft Word document. In APA format, cite any sources you use on a separate page. The references you cite should be credible, scholarly, or professional sources. Any examples you cite must be supported with sources from the news media. Note that the title page and header should reflect that this is the final deliverable for your complete project. The abstract should cover the objectives of Weeks 1–5. Further, the references should contain your sources used for Weeks 1–5. Because this is the final deliverable for the project, the content of your Week 5 paper should include all of the material you submitted for Weeks 1–4 and your answers to the questions here, in Week 5. However, you may need to revise Weeks 1 through 4 on the basis of comments received and also to shorten the total size of the final paper, as well as create a more consistent final deliverable.
Submission Details:
Name your document SU_MIS5030_W5_A2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
Use as one of your reference:

Purpose
The purpose of this web development assignment is to create, upload, and validate a website while learning basic skills in web development.
Website development, quality assurance, and sight designers are all positions available for those who desire to work for companies or for state/local government in web development. Web pages are viewed across several platforms including computers, smartphones, smart televisions, and other devices. Because of the various platforms that websites are viewed by it is essential that web design is considered with the end users in mind.
Every computer both Mac and the standard personal computer has a form of text editor which allows students to create Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The Mac uses “TextEdit”
and a PC uses “Notepad”. HTML is the standard language used for web creation.
Directions
1. You are required to read and work through the ITE-152 HTML Tutorial Download ITE-152 HTML TutorialBEFORE working on this assignment.
2. Please check ITE 152 Web Development Project Direction Download ITE 152 Web Development Project Directionfor detailed directions.
3. This project utilizes two “Instructor Provided” files. You will need to download and unzip the zip files below in order to access
VideoSample.mp4 and
AudioSample.mp3 files.

Note: The directions on how to upload your files to MyDrive are included in the ITE-152 HTML Tutorial.Download ITE-152 HTML Tutorial.
One alternative to MyDrive is using Repl.it Links to an external site to develop and host your website –Repl.it works like Google Docs for programming, but please consult with your instructor to see if they prefer another web development tool. The instructions below assist users who are using Repl.it.
For the project submission, you simply have to submit the URL of your “Repl” (a ‘Repl’ is what a project hosted on Repl.it is called).
In addition, Mac users sometimes have default settings that need to be changed for TextEdit. Here is a video showing how to change these default settings and if needed, how to download Brackets as a better text editor for Macs.

Directions
this quiz requires you to demonstrate the use of an Operating System’s File Management.
Step 1: Design a File Directory Structure (supporting reference documents are provided below):
Create a file directory structure for all your schoolwork. You may do this on your personal computer, OneDrive or Google Drive.
Start by planning out a Directory Structure that provides a place for all your files so you can easily find each file now and in the future. Implement that thoughtful design on a computer. Your work must contain the following: Nested folders with a logical hierarchy (below is a sample structure. Your hierarchy may look different.)
For example: CoursesITE152Assignments
Documents
ITN100Assignments
Documents
Lectures
Labs
Physics PHY101
Assignments
Lectures
Labs
List the example name of the files you would have in each of the folders in your hierarchy
Step 2: Create a File Directory Structure:
On your computer hard drive, OneDrive, or Google Drive implement your File Directory Structure. Create your parent folder, and the children folders, and place your files in their respective locations. In your communication, be clear about where you completed the File Directory Structure; your computer hard drive (including Operating System), OneDrive, or Google Drive.
Step 3: Document what you have created. You have two choices available: Option A: Video Format Option B: Word Document Format
Create a Studio Video of your Directory Structure. In your video, you need to (please note Studio is on your Canvas far left navigational panel):
(a) Show your structure
(b) Explain your structure
(c) Discuss the logic of your structure
Create a Word Document of your Directory Structure. On your document you need to:
(a) Include a screenshot of your structure
(b) Explain your structure
(c) Discuss the logic of your structure
When you work on your deliverable, remember to include:
Your name
Your class section
The operating system you are using
Submission Rename your video file or Word document as Module03 – Quiz Assignment – LastFirst. for example, Module03-Quiz Assignment – SmithJohn.
Once you have completed all requirements for the assignment, click the Submit Assignment button at the top of the page to submit your assignment.

For this assignment, imagine a breakthrough wearable remote monitoring device that could be used to not only detect emergency health conditions before they seriously impact the patient but also dispense life-saving medicine.
Based on this scenario, create a 4-page MS Word document that answers the following questions:
Describe your device, its purpose, and functionality. (1 page) Explain legal issues that relate to the device. (1 page) Explain ethical issues that the device manufacturers, users, and health care companies or workers might face. (1 page) Identify and explain how your device might impact society. This can include a local community or a larger scope. (1 page)
