As a team decide on a publicly traded company because it will offer the greatest amount of information on a company versus a privately-owned company. A suggestion is to start with the company website, industry articles, and the company’s FORM 10-K. After the publicly traded company is selected, then decide on a product line to research within that company. Do consider how available research materials will be for product and/or similar products before completing your selection.
Complete research on the following:
• Describe the details about the company (e.g. industry, mission, vision, competitors, internal and external customers, strengths, opportunities, threats (SWOT), and other interesting facts).
• Describe the product the team selected (e.g. what is the product and who are the customers, how has the product evolved).
The company is Southwest Airlines.
Does not need intro or conclusion.
Overview:
For this assignment, you are required to:
Utilise and apply at least TWO (2) TRIZ tools to the client product.
Identify THREE (3) possible product options that may be appropriate for the client.
Develop mockup, 3D model, virtual design, sketch etc. of your possible product options
Describe the features, functions, benefits or technical specifications of your product options
Evaluate the TRIZ tools used and their role in New Product Development Processes
Complete a Value Proposition Canvas for each of your new ideas – and post into your teams discussion board to communicate effectively to your team members about each of the new ideas (once teams have formed). Attach each of the Value Proposition Canvas’s into your Reports Appendix.
Identifying an opportunity
While there are a range of different theory-based explanations for identifying new opportunities, when working with an existing product, a key method used by product development specialists is TRIZ – the theory of inventive problem solving.
This method offers you a number of tools, including the Contradictions, Ideality, Functional Analysis, 40 Inventive Principles for use to deconstruct, develop or adapt existing products to create new product opportunities. You are required to utilise the TRIZ tools to generate new product opportunities for your client.
As part of your report, you are asked to conduct a literature review exploring the application of TRIZ tools for new product development where you can reflect on the process and place your own experience in relation to the broader research literature and findings.
Identifying a possible solution
When you adopt TRIZ tools for looking at the existing product, this will help you to make an intuitive jump for changes that may be necessary for your client’s product. This may focus on their key product or may involve aspects of their value chain or business partnerships.
■ Direct product changes (existing product is changed to generate new product)
■ Indirect product application (products that may complement or run parallel to the product being developed by your client)
■ New product application (completely new-to-market product, not yet introduced)
Detail/explain possible solutions
You will need to detail/explain the new product (s) in sufficient detail that another person will understand what is unique about your product (s) opportunities. You may consider detailing the different product features, functions, benefits etc.
Develop a design, mockup, 3D model, virtual design, sketch etc. of your possible product options.
Individual Activity Parameters:
For this assignment, you are required to:
■ Deliver a 5(FIVE) page report.
■ 1 (ONE) additional page is allowed for references, if needed.
■ 3 (THREE) additional pages are allowed for Appendices and product mockups, if needed.
■ Swinburne Harvard style references are accepted.
■ Use at least (minimum) 9 size font.

Module 3 Understanding the Context (Ecosystem) of Information Management
Posted on: Sunday, September 6, 2020 11:08:00 PM EDT
Good Sunday evening. I trust you have had a great week and you are treasuring your Labor Day weekend.
Before summarizing the asks for Module 3, let me provide a couple updates that tie into what we have been studying.
Please check out this article and look for others on the cyberattacks between Israel and Iran. Those have been going on for a while but appears to be heating up. Please take note of the Iranian attack on an Israeli water facility.
SCADA systems, similar to what Iran attacked in Israel, remotely control water, natural gas, electricity……they are targets for cyberattacks. Please check out the article below and consider the ramifications if one of those systems was compromised.

The detail The topic: cyber-security and its challenges faced by organisations
The research problem is found so far: The biggest problem my team faced when we do the research on this topic is that there are lack of valuable articles and evaluated information about the topic of cyber security. There maybe has a mountain of articles about cyber breaching, cyber-criminal or achievement of cyber security but they are fragmentary, and the data are not vetted or in high- quality. Therefore, we think it will be hard to draw a big conclusion on the challenges cyber-security’s picture.
Questions raised for this topic:
Why is cyber-criminal a hot topic but it never properly solved?
Why is it hard to achieve cyber-security?
What is the cyber-criminals’ trending in recent years?
Insider and outsider’s factor which one is the most challenge for business’s secure?
Should be Government involved in a cyber-security strategy?
Are Small and big firms the same at risk for cyber-attacks?
Theories applied I did find and use for this topic so far:
Akers’ social learning theory, and models
The task for my requirement:
The literature review:
Finding at least 12 sources Which
1. Draw the reader’s attention to any contrasting views expressed in prior research in this area and give your view of how differing opinions can be brought together to help answer the research question and ultimately resolve the research problem. [the more comprehensive your literature review, the better.
2. Report how it has brought you closer to an answer to your research question(s).
Notes:
• Introduction, conclusion or table of content are not necessary or needed
• Only focus on the literature review
• The sources must be academic and following Harvard style. They are must be supported with the work because they will be checked. The page number, year will be also included in Citation. The author-date system, of which the Harvard system is most used
• The sources are highly recommended by using Proquest or Use electronic databases – SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index) (wok.mimas.ac.uk), ABI/INFORM (proquest.com) – EBSCO (epnet.com)
If most adults are at a conventional level of moral development, what does this mean for their potential for moral leadership?
Recently, human resources (HR) recruiters have utilized their company Web site job board, online job boards, social media, and other industry-specific job boards or Web sites to fill all types of positions. As an HR recruiter, you are in need of new employees for a forecasted expansion to a call center that is opening up in 2 months and that is just 20 miles away. Think creatively and find some new, unique, and innovative ways to find candidates. Research and address the following:
1. Discuss 2 new technology options that the company could use to source candidates.
2. Would you also use these new technology options to recruit new managers? Why or why not?
3. Have you found any data that supports the effectiveness of the new technology options for finding qualified candidates?
4. Do you feel like these new technology options are just trends? Why or why not?
