Assignment 1

Question 1

150 Points

The following question needs to be finished using SAP GUI. It is based on SAP Lab 1. So, you need to finish SAP Lab 1 before answering this question.

In SAP lab 1, we have built the following organizational unit:

As the figure above shows, the unit has a clerk position (labelled as “CLK position”) and a department head position (labelled as “LD position”). In lab 1, you have used two user IDs. There is one user ID left.

The green part of the figure below shows the tasks you need to do based on lab 1 (blue part).

 

Tasks:

Task 1: Add a new CLK position. If you have successfully finished lab 1, then this is the second clerk position in this organizational unit. In the figure above, this position is labelled as “CLK Position 2”. However, follow your naming convention when you name this position.

Task 2: connect the new position to the CLK job you created in Lab 1.

Task 3: connect the new position to the third user ID assigned to you. Tasks 4 to 6 are similar to tasks 1 to 3.

Task 4: add another new CLK position. In figure above, it is labelled as “CLK position 3”.

Task 5: connect the new position created in task 4 to the CLK job you created in Lab 1.

Task 6: connect the new position created in task 4 to the following professor user ID (labelled as “Prof ID” in figure above):

Task 7: after all the tasks above are done, print reporting structure of the new organization unit (T-code: PPO4) as a figure, and attach the figure here.

If you don’t know how to print part of the screen to a figure in Windows, please follow this:

Question 2

Open the attached Excel book. It contains one column: product code.

In this column, each product code consists of two parts: vendor ID and item ID. The format is vendor ID, followed by five “#” signs, followed by item ID.

In column B you reformat each product code in column A. The new format is: item ID, followed by three “#” signs, then followed by vendor ID.

So, suppose the product code in column A is ABC#####123

Then in column B, it is reformatted as 123###ABC

The figure below shows what you need to accomplish.

Of course, you can use other columns for intermediate calculations. Attach your finished workbook here.

How do you feel about companies using Al to analyze your social media content to get an idea of what you’re thinking and feeling? Would you feel differently about an enjoyable novel or movie if you learned it had been written by an Al system? Why or why not?

Chapter 4 Discussion: Shaping Stories with the Help of Artificial Intelligence

Answer the two questions on p. 120 and respond to at least two other students.

Student 1# Yarajazmin Amaya
I feel that companies using A.I. to analyze our social media content are interesting. I do think that the use of technology is very intriguing, but I also believe that it will not ever be able to pick up our critical emotional responses. Therefore, it cannot be an exact science, and the content cannot be very personalized because it is based on notions and not necessarily fact. But it does pick up on a lot of important information that will be very useful to the individuals tracking said content.
I do not believe that I would feel differently about a movie or novel if I found out an A.I. system had written it. This is because I purely consume films and stories for entertainment. Most movies and books, even if based on a true story or experience, have some embellishments to make them more attractive to the reader.

Student 2# Sahamira Toro
1- In my opinion, I have mixed feelings about rewarding companies using Al to analyze our social media content to get an idea of what we are thinking and feeling. It is a great tool to get to know people’s feelings and what they think about specific topics quicker, but I also think doing it in a factual matter is way better.

2- I would not feel any different if I found out that an Al system wrote a novel or movie that I enjoyed because I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. If it was well written and I liked it, that’s all it matters.

WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?
1. How do you feel about companies using Al to analyze your social media content to get an idea of what you’re thinking and feeling?
2. Would you feel differently about an enjoyable novel or movie if you learned it had been written by an Al system? Why or why not?166

Is this pricing strategy financially sustainable for the businesses? Other than loss of profits, what are some other possible negative consequences of businesses offering discounted products or services?

Benefits and risks of low-cost product or service offerings for a business

Have you ever seen items on a fast food menu priced at $1 or $2 each and wondered how the restaurant could possibly make any money by selling those products? In actuality, the profit margin for these items is generally slim, and sometimes restaurants even lose money on these dollar menu items. Why, then, might restaurants continue offering and even promoting their discounted menu items? What about other types of businesses that offer deep discounts on particular products or services and that face the same challenges? Is there a way to incorporate these low-cost offerings into a sustainable pricing strategy?

Post a 150- to 225-word (2- to 3-paragraph) explanation of the benefits and risks of low-cost product or service offerings for a business. In your explanation, address the following:
Why would a company continue to offer these discounted items despite losing money on them?
Is this pricing strategy financially sustainable for the businesses?
Other than loss of profits, what are some other possible negative consequences of businesses offering discounted products or services?
