This assignment allows students to look at a problem from a managerial perspective, and see how a technical solution supports the business needs of the organization. You are the IT manager at XYZ Company, and you notice that the business is lacking efficiency. Reports are being completed manually, information is not well transferred throughout the departments, the business is having trouble keeping up with its order volume, and customer satisfaction is faltering as a result. Outline how your solution would address the common issues of identity management associated with ERP implementation, specifically single authentication, automatic trust, and managing full access rights. Then, using Figure 8.4 from the textbook, construct a formal business case for an ERP system. Analyze the effectiveness and efficiency gained with departmental cooperation. Then, present an effective case to efficiently input, transfer, communicate, and display company data.  

If you are able, please write down and show work so I can do the same, especially if it's not easy to do typing out. If there are any requirements of a lab, you can google image search and let me know. He is pretty flexible. Please let me know what questions you have. Learning Objectives:Learn how to determine the number of valence electrons in a molecule or polyatomic ionPractice developing Lewis StructuresLearn the difference between molecular formulas, Lewis structures, structural formulas, and condensed formulas.Background:Valence electrons are the glue that holds atoms to one another. Valence electrons are outer shell electrons. Each main group element has the same number of valence electrons as the group number. Sodium, a group 1A element, has one valence electron. Chlorine, a group 7A element, has seven valence electrons. The number of valance electrons in molecules or polyatomic ions is determined as follows:Number of Valence Electrons = (Sum of group number of each atom) – (overall charge)The reason for subtracting the charge is as follows:neutral molecules have zero charge so this does not affect the number of valence electronspolyatomic cations have lost valence electrons equal to the charge so we subtract the chargepolyatomic anions have gained valence electrons equal to the amount of charge, since the charge is negative, subtraction of the negative charge results in adding electrons.Lewis structures are comprised of terminal atoms-atoms bonded to only one other atom, and branching or central atoms-atoms bonded to two or more other atoms. Most of the Lewis structures in this assignment have only one branching atom and all of the other atoms are bonded to this atom. Common branching atoms and the number of other atoms bonded to them can be found in the textbook. Directions for making making a Lewis structure are below: determine the number of valence electronsChoose the central atom (the one that usually makes the most number of bonds)Arrange the other atoms around the branching atomConnect the terminal atoms to the branching atoms with a single bond (each bond represents two valence electrons)Add lone pairs (nonbonding pair of electrons) each the terminal atoms, one terminal at a time, until it has a an octet of valence electrons). The exception is hydrogen, it gets no lone pairs.Place the remaining electrons as lone pairs on the central atom.If the central atoms does not have an octet and it is not B, Al, Be, change a lone pair from a neighbor atom to a bonding pair to the central atom. Try to choose a lone pair that ends up giving the terminal atom the number of bonds it usually makes.Assignment:Briefly describe how to use the electron dot symbols of main group elements to determine the number of bonds they usually make.Briefly describe the elements that do not make an octet when bonding and give a brief explanation for their behavior.Briefly describe the elements that can have more than an octet and briefly describe how you can tell looking a the figure that shows the number of covalent bonds main groups elements may make.Briefly describe:molecular formulaLewis structurestructural formulacondensed structure (look in the index)Draw a Lewis structure for the following molecules:SO2SO3SO42-CH2OAlCl3BeCl2PH3H2OEthanol the molecular formula C2H6O and contain an O-H bond. propose a Lewis structureDraw the structural formulaWrite the condensed formulaTetrachloroethylene, C2Cl2, is used comercially as a dry-cleaning solvent.

Analyzing Health Care Decision MakingA number of quantitative methods are utilized to make decisions and recommendations in health care. Quantitative methods are used to analyze and predict the demand for patient services, to determine capital expenditures for facility and technology enhancements, and to guide the manager in implementing quality controls. Whether or not you are familiar with quantitative methodologies, as a manager, you are responsible for the outcomes of implementing the decision based on the method used.Your agency or institution has noted a negative trend in profitability for a diagnostic imaging cost center over the past 4 quarters.As a manager, you need to make some recommendations to take to your board of directors to reverse the negative trend. Your first priority is to find a quantitative method to help you in making decisions. Complete the following:Choose a quantitative method (e.g., the decision tree model).Describe the model that you are using.Outline at least 4 proposed solutions to your board of directors, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each with regard to return on investment, break-even analysis, improvement in patient demand, improved patient safety and quality, and so forth.Summarize how the decision-making method helped you make objective recommendations to your board of directors.
