Your Ongoing Case Lets go back to the ongoing case you selected. This will be either your current employer a specific organization you want to work in or one of the two hypothetical organizations described in Chapter 1: Independent Auto Sales and Service (IAS) or Network Nutrition Distributors (NND). Now consider the following questions as you develop a customer service strategy: Strategy Planning Activities 1. Identify some core values of this organization as best as you can. What do they believe in (beyond organizational success or profitability)? How might their revealing these values to customers and employees create opportunities to exceed expectations? How can they translate core values into actions to produce A-plus value thus strengthening relationships? 2. Do some creative thinking about possible ideas you could apply to create A-plus value using the seven areas described in this chapter. Describe at least three ideas for each: packaging guarantees (warrantees) goodness of product fit memorability of product experience uniqueness and shared values company credibility add-ons 3. Consider ways to get employees of your organization involved in generating A-plus value ideas. How would you do this? Be specific about the following: What you would teach employees before soliciting their ideas? Who would be involved in idea-generating sessions? How you would collect and process ideas (specifically)? How often you would gather ideas? How people might be rewarded for participating in the process? 4. What would be necessary for your organization to engage in ongoing A-plus idea generation? How could this become part of the culture of the company? How could you get buy-in from participants and what should you do to avoid turning people off to the process. Be specific.I will send week #1 when we reach an agreement.Times New RomanThank you

In mythology a silver bullet is the only thing that can kill a werewolf. This well-known idea from fiction has become a more widely-used metaphor through the common saying there is no silver bullet. Though interpretations may vary the general concept is that there is no singular solution for doing something. In fact there is a paper called No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering written by Fred Brooks that focuses on this very concept.Brooks F. (1987) No silver bullet: Essence and accidents of software engineering.Computer 20(4) pp.10-19. [Online]. Available from:http://people.eecs.ku.edu/~saiedian/Teaching/Sp08/816/Papers/Background-Papers/no-silver-bullet.pdf (Accessed: 16 April 2014).Within this paper up through a section titled Past Breakthroughs Solved Accidental Difficulties it discusses the properties of a software system that makes it difficult to build: Complexity conformity changeability and invisibility. In this Hand-In Assignment consider the following scenario in the context of Brooks paper:Simpletown is a very small town of 1 000 people and is growing. The city government wants to install a traffic light on the main street. It approaches an IT company to build software to operate the traffic lights. The city gives the following specifications:Specification:Operate a traffic light. The green light should stay on for 40 seconds. Then the yellow light should stay on for 20 seconds. Then the red light should stay on for 60 seconds. The number of seconds may change in the future.Algorithm:For the specification above the IT company writes the following algorithm:OperateTrafficLight(X Y Z): Loop forever:Send signal to turn on green light.Wait for X seconds.Send signal to turn off green light.Send signal to turn on yellow light.Wait for Y seconds.Send signal to turn off yellow light.Send signal to turn on red light.Wait for Z seconds.Send signal to turn off red light.And the following OnStart procedure to call the function above: OnStart:. OperateTrafficLight(40 20 60).Testing:The IT company writes the following about its test plan to ensure program reliability: The algorithm is straightforward and its correctness can be inferred by someone reading the algorithm. A nonprogrammer staff member inspects the algorithm and signs off on its correctness. Any future revision of software will be tested the same way.To complete this Assignment: Submit a 2-3 paragraph paper in which you address the following: Analyse complexities missing from the specification algorithm or test plan in the Simpletown scenario. Classify each missing complexity with one of the three noted sections (specification algorithm testing). Explain the missing complexity why it is a problem and suggest a solution. Identify improvements Simpletown could request in the future. Evaluate the changeability of the Simpletown scenario and plan. Determine whether or not the software in the Simpletown scenario could gracefully accommodate a change request. Identify which of the three sections (specification algorithm testing) require modifications; if any. Fully state and justify any choices assumptions or claims that you make using the suggested Learning Resources for this Week and/or your own research.Your document should have 2-3 paragraphs (not including the list of works cited) but it is the quality of the answer that matters not the number of words. Cite and reference all sources use the Harvard Referencing System.

Organising data so that it can be efficiently retrieved is one of the cornerstones of software engineering. Cumbersome data structures can lead to sluggish software performance potential errors and ultimately end-user dissatisfaction. In order to become adept at data structuring it is prudent to continually work with data structure components one of the most common of which are arrays.Unlike the Scratch Assignments of recent Weeks this Hand-In Assignment will challenge your conceptualisation skills when it comes to understanding and applying your knowledge of arrays. That said consider the following problem:Suppose a homogeneous array with 8 rows and 6 columns is stored in column major order starting at address 20 (base ten).If each entry in the array requires only one memory cell what is the address of the entry in the third row and fourth column? What if each entry requires two memory cells?To prepare for this Assignment: Review your Weekly Learning Resources with a focus on data structures and arrays. Critically analyse the given problem. You may want to sketch out the hypothetical array in the given problem to help visualise it. You may use Scratch or any other programming tool you prefer to help you solve the problem.To complete this Assignment: Submit an answer to the posed problem and address the following: Identify the address of the entry in the third row and fourth column of the array in the given problem. Identify the address of the entry in the third row and fourth column of the array in the given problem if each entry requires two memory cells. Explain how you determined your answers.
