1. Examine the hypothesis that there is an identifiable set of “architectural” concerns in a domain familiar to you. What issues in the domain are unlikely to be reducible to normative rules or rational synthesis?
2. Trace the progression of behavioral modeling throughout the development cycle of a system familiar to you.
1. Examine some notably successful or unsuccessful software-intensive systems. To what extent was success or failure due to architectural (conceptual integrity, feasibility of concept, certification) issues and to what extent was it due to other software process issues?
2. Are their styles analogous to those proposed for software that jointly represent hardware and software?
1. Examine the following hypothesis: Increasing quality levels in manufacturing enable architectural changes in the manufacturing system that greatly increase productivity but may make the system increasingly sensitive to external disruption. For a research exercise, use case studies or a simplified quantitative model.
2. Does manufacturing systems architecture differ in mass production systems (thousands of units) and very low-quantity production systems (fewer than ten produced systems)? If so, how and why?
1. Explain why ‘overpaid’ government employees will lead to an overstatement of GDP, whereas ‘overpaid’ private sector employees will not (see Appendix 1.A).
2. Consider an economy that produces bananas and bread. You have the following measurements:
(a) Compute the GDP in each year using current prices. Compute the growth rate in nominal GDP.
(b) Compute the real GDP in each year first using 2003 as the base year and then using 2004 as the base year. How does the rate of growth in real GDP depend on which base year is used? Explain. (Hint: note that the price of bread relative to bananas has increased).
1. Establish a proper value proposition to HPS and reorganize budget in a
Program format and indicate their respective benefit cost ratios
REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. Explain why externalities prevent the attainment of efficiency when goods are traded in competitive markets. 2. Do you agree with the following statement? “Effi-ciency cannot be achieved when externalities exist.” Explain your view. 3. Why do prices fail to represent the opportunity costs of resources when externalities exist? 4. How can a corrective tax adjust costs to reflect externalities? What effects will a corrective tax have on prices, output, and pollution? 5. Suppose a positive externality is associated with col-lege enrollment. Assume that college instruction is sold in a competitive market and that the marginal social cost of providing it increases with enrollment. Show how a corrective subsidy to college students will increase the market price of instruction. Show
the net gain in well-being possible from the subsidy and the amount of tax revenue required to finance its costs on your graph. 6. What kinds of information must be gathered to internalize an externality? 7. Why do limits on pollution emissions fail to inter-nalize the externality that generates the pollution? 8. Under what conditions are externalities likely to be internalized without the necessity of government intervention? 9. Why might it be argued that the distinction between emitters and receptors of an externality involves an arbitrary judgment? 10. What criteria can be used to determine if a small-number externality exists? Why is it undesirable to compensate receptors of external damage in cases where there are few emitters and many receptors?

1. EN QUOI LES “TRAJECTOIRES NARRATIVES” DE JEAN GENET DANS , DE CYRIL COLLARD / “JEAN” DANS SONT-ELLES NON SEULEMENT CENTREES SUR “LA MAUVAISE VIE” MAIS INTERROGENT-ELLES LES PRESUPPOSES, EVIDENCES, CERTITUDES DE LA (PRETENDUE) “BONNE VIE”. INDIQUEZ DES SIMILUTES ET DES DIFFERENCES ENTRE LES 3 OEUVRES DE CE POINT DE VUE.
1. Explain why marginal revenue must be less than the price when a firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve.
2. A monopolist is maximizing profit. Perhaps due to an innovation in some other product line, he finds that the elasticity of demand for his product is lower. What will this change in the elasticity of demand due to the profit of the monopolist? How will the monopolist respond to this change?
1. Elaborate main areas found in your individual industry report or article of choice (choose only 1 of the 14). This will form the basic skeleton of your presentation. 2. Do not just summarize the industry report or article. Insights, applications and examples are always welcome and appreciated to foster everyone’s understanding. 3. You will have to cover and incorporate all applicable innovation frameworks, models and theories to demonstrate your understanding. 4. Keep the slides to a maximum of 5 and rehearse beforehand to ensure that it’s within the 10 minutes’ time frame. 5. DO NOT read from your notes and forget that audience engagement is very important. That makes the difference between a good, average and not-so-good presentation. 6. Stay relaxed and be prepared for questions coming from the audience / me. Research and wide reading is encouraged but not mandatory. Document Preview:
Student Hi, I am sorry I have rejected the solution to the writer that handle my innovation report. He is now working on the rework. The presentation slides I have required from you are supposed to extract the info from this report. You may not able to start until I received the revise solution. Meanwhile you may start the framework first. The minimum slides is 5. Please take note of below criteria again to avoid rework. The exact requirement as below: 1) Preparation – (20 points) • Including clear statement of the objectives of the presentation • Including the key messages of the report • Providing a logical structure of the presentation • Evidence in support of the conclusions including data collection and analysis • Employing the terminology of the subject area without impairing the communication of the arguments 2) Content – (60 points) • Providing an overview of the question or problem • Selecting materials and contents for slides that are directly relevant to the task • Proper Harvard referencing • Using the right fonts and avoid overcrowded slides 3) Delivery – (20 points) • Avoiding reading from notes • Including easy to understand graphical illustrations • Using appropriate voice volume, pace, and tone • Encouraging engagement of the audience • Conveying an impression of enthusiasm and motivation • Appearing self-confident and convincing 4) • Expectation of Individual Presentation 1.

1.Explain why depreciation and amortization appear as an addition when net income is converted to cash flow from operations.
2.For 2016, Walmart shows an adjustment for inventories of negative $703 million. However, on the balance sheet, inventories declined from $45,141 million to 44,469 million, a difference of $672 million. Explain the $703 million adjustment and offer examples of why the adjustment differs from the change in inventory balance.
3.Estimate the amount of cash received from customers in 2016.
