COMP102-1301A-04 Introduction to Computers Lab
Assignment Name:	Unit 1 Individual Project
Deliverable Length:	Word Document
Details:	When attending school, one of the first steps you learn is to be organized. Being organized applies not only to your daily life, but to your computer as well. While you are in school, you will write papers, complete spreadsheets and do presentations for all of the classes you take. After a few classes, you will notice that you have quite a few files. These will be not only the papers that you turned in as assignments, but various rough drafts and different versions of the items you completed for all of your classes. This can eventually add up to hundreds of files. A good file management system is necessary to organize your files. A file management system is made up of files and file folders. You can copy, delete, rename and move these files and folders around as like. For this lab, you will create a file management structure for your classes here at AIU. You will follow the steps listed below to create this file structure. After you create this file structure, you will create a screenshot using “Print Screen,” or you will use the Snipping Tool that is in Windows 7. This will create a copy of your file structure that you can then paste into a Word document that you will turn in. Please refer to the Web Resources section for help with creating a screenshot. You will begin this lab by doing the following: Step 1: Right-click on the Windows Start button, and open Windows Explorer. Step 2: Go to My Documents. Step 3: Under My Documents, create a folder named “AIU.” After this folder is created, click on the new folder. Step 4: Create a new folder named “COMP102.” Step 5: Start Word Step 6: Save a new document as your First Name, Last Name, IP1 (e.g., JohnDoeIP1) in the COMP102 folder. Step 7: Go to Windows Explorer. Take a screenshot of how your directory looks by using the Snipping Tool in Windows 7 or by doing a Print Screen. The copy command (ctrl+c) will put a picture of your file structure in your clipboard. Step 8: In your Word document, paste the picture of your directory structure. It should look like the example below. It does not have to look exactly like this, but it should show the AIU folder and the COMP102 folder.              Step 9: Submit your Word document. Please submit your assignment. For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials. Course Materials

 1. The autocratic style might be more helpful in organizations where people need to focus on one goal or when there’s a time crunch and the leader needs to be absolutely listened to at all times. There might be others, but these two seem to be the most important determinants in the possible success of an autocratic leader.

I suspect autocrats would absolutely thrive under time crunch conditions. In this case, there’s no time for democratic processes to occur. The team needs to be on the same page quickly in order to keep up with the demands of the workplace. In some jobs, you simply can’t afford to listen to dissent because it would inhibit your company’s ability to function.

The other place I mentioned above is the need to focus on one goal. In some cases, you want creative people thinking outside the box and coming up with ideas and suggestions. However, in some cases, your company wants to lunge at a goal with monomaniacal intent. If you really need to keep people’s noses to the ground and pursuing after a single goal, an autocratic leader would be great.

 

2. Google seems to have a free range style because they are a company with many different ideas going on at the same time. This is a company that, just within the software world, is pursuing goals such as keeping their search engine on top, creating social networks, and maintaining acquired sites like Youtube. This is a company that wants to make sure that people are constantly coming up with creative ideas to reposition their products (Google Plus really needs it).

Google also has multiple ambitious projects going outside of the software world. They’re sponsoring a prize to help space companies get to the Moon, trying to help create a quantum computer, and you also have their balloon wi-fi hotspots technology. That’s a lot of different, out-there programs that require people to be more free in order to solve problems.

In addition to this, the free-rein style was likely influenced by the co-founders. They found themselves able to build the biggest search engine in the world and succeeded at running the company this way. There’s an old saying: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Google has succeeded with this formula, so there’s no reason to change it.

 

3. The similarities that many successful leaders share is the fact that they’re considered builders or visionaries. At the top level of a company, it really matters much more that an executive is good at looking into the future and keeping the company ahead of competitors. This requires a CEO to be able to properly balance risk and reward. 

A CEO needs to be able to read the figurative tea leaves to see where her/his business is heading in the next few years. They need to stay on top of developments and remain intellectually curious. It’s when you say “Well, this current business model is fine, so we’ll just stick through with it through thick and thin.” They’ll stay with those ideas, even if the become outdated or were impractical from the start. A CEO needs to know how to change.

They also need to be able to really look at the company and know how to make sure it remains properly organized. You can’t just focus on R&D and keep looking outward. You have to look inward as well. Leaders should always be weighing their options and deciding how many employees to add or how their resources should be allocated.

I need to find some good and interesting facts about Malta?

Bender Guitar Corporation, a manufacturer of custom electric guitars, is contemplating a $1,000,000 investment in a new production facility. The economic life of the facility is estimated to be five years, after which the facility will be obsolete and have no salvage value. To make the new facility operational, building improvements costing $400,000 will be required. In addition, a $50,000 increase in working capital will be needed. Bender’s accounting and marketing departments have provided the following information: the firm will use the straight-line method of depreciation; the Company is in the 30% tax bracket; the weighted average cost of capital is 8%. Here are Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) estimates for the new facility: Year 1………$80,000 Year 2…….$100,000 Year 3…….$120,000 Year 4……..$140,000 Year 5…….$165,000 Your assignment is to answer the following questions: Diagram the cash flows for the project using a time line. For each of Years 1 through 5, include the following data on your diagram (in this order) : EBIT, tax, depreciation, Operating Cash Flow (OCF), and discounted OCF. Indicate the initial investment cost, the present value, the Net Present Value (NPV), and the payback (measured in years based on non-discounted OCF numbers). Evaluate the project’s efficacy. Is this facility worthwhile, based upon your calculations ? Why or why not ? What does the NPV decision rule indicate for this project ? If you were Bender’s financial manager, what other factors would you consider before deciding whether or not to recommend construction of the production facility?
