MBA770 – ME AS CHANGE LEADER – Looking back and forward.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this paper is to reflect on your learning and growth throughout the MBA program and to enhance your self-concept as a change leader.

The eight MBA Core Competencies mentioned below can be found in Blackboard on the left side of your screen. You will see a link – “MBA Program Competency Map”. Click on that. Then click on each of the competencies in the diagram for a definition of each.

LOOKING BACK

Program Reflections (1 – 1.5 page)

Reflect on your experience throughout the MBA program, then answer the following questions:

  • What approach, attitude or accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
  • What was most challenging for you throughout the program and why? What did you do to mitigate or manage that?
  • Looking at the eight MBA Core Competencies how do you evaluate your growth in these areas?

How will you continue to strengthen those competencies in which you excel? How will you address those competencies where you still need more work?

 

LOOKING FORWARD

At the end of your career (0.5 – 1 page)

Imagine a reporter is writing an article about you at the end of your career, what would you like them to write about you?

  • What would be the headline for the article?
  • What did you accomplish? What business did you create? In what did you contribute to the organization or industry?
  • In what way did you contribute to a sustainable (business) environment?
  • What kind of leader were you? What characteristics do you want to be known for?
  • In what way did you contribute to a climate of inclusivity?

Write a 2-3 paragraph article, including a headline,  as if you were that reporter.

Five years from now (0.5 -1 page)

Looking at the next five years….

  • What are your career goals for the next five years, that will support your 25+ years career vision described in the newspaper article above?
  • Where do you need and want to grow in order to realize these goals?
  • And how are you going to do that?

Compare and contrast your initial posting with those of your peers. How are they similar or how are they different? What information can you add that would help support the responses of your peers?

Machine learning application: predictions and interpretations

The aim of this coursework is for you to apply your knowledge in Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics, to work creatively on a dataset of a real-world application; to define a learning problem, discuss data attributes, evaluate suitable learning algorithm(s)— analytically or through your implementation, and to present your findings and conclusions. This will be expressed as a 2000-word report

Scenario

This is your chance to design and/or evaluate a ‘predictive model’ of your own/choice for a real-world application. Application and data can be of your choice but also a wide range of recommended datasets for machine learning problems are available in UCI Machine Learning Repository 1 (Most Popular Data Sets – hits since 2007), and challenges, datasets and analytics contributions Kaggle 2, or check course’s Blackboard page for further datasets. For this coursework your design/choice, and your approach to evaluate a machine learning solution (or a predictive model) is key – you can (but do not need to) implement a model, write code or collect data yourself. You should identify a real problem, need, frame a solution and come up with analytical analysis to evaluate your choice of a learning algorithm for your predictive model.

Your report (in a form of a discussion paper) should cover the following elements:

  • Discuss a machine learning problem given your chosen application; identify the problem, the requirements for a predictive model and its impact.
  • Describe and analysis a dataset and its characteristics; size, representation and attributes.
  • Discuss whether bivariate or multivariate analysis is most suitable for your predictive model.
  • Choose/apply (a) learning algorithm(s) and identify its/their categories; supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised.
  • Analytically or experimentally evaluate your choice of machine learning solution; its suitability, cost, and apply an error evaluation metric to justify your choice, e.g., classification accuracy of classification problems, MSE and/or R^2 (R squared) for regression models, etc.
  • Choose a learning algorithm which you think is less suitable for your predictive model and justify your “rejection” reasons.

In this application you will simulate some of the actions that you perform in Drive test center. But here you have greater flexibility to pick the time of your choice. You will also develop an extension of this application by adding few other user interfaces to perform different actions. Mainly entire application consists of following parts:

  1. Driver Interface (a person who wants to take G2/G license)
  2. Examiner Interface (a person who takes driver’s exam)
  3. Admin (a person who adds schedules and other stuff in the portal)

Cryptography

Assignment
Much of this assignment requires the use of a computer algebra system (Maple, MatLab, Mathematica, or SageMath) or other software of your choice. If you have experience with one or more of them, this should be no problem for you.

SageMath is open source; https://www.sagemath.org. It’s a bit of a “learning curve” at first, but it’s well worth it.

1. Use a computer algebra system to do the following problems:
(a) Find integers x and y with 65537x + 3511y = 1.
(b) Find the last five digits of 31234567.
(c) Solve 314x ≡ 271 (mod 11111).
(d) Find all solutions to 216x ≡ 66 (mod 606).

Note to (b): Do not attempt to compute this power! Think of an appropriate modulus, and use the “modular exponentiation” feature in the system of your choice (in Maple it’s &^). You may also wish to first use Euler’s Theorem.

2. (a) Suppose that Alice encrypts a message m with Bob’s public RSA key (899, 11). The ciphertext is 468. Break the cipher, that is, determine the plaintext.
(b) Do the same with the key (11413, 7467) and the ciphertext 5859.

Note: These are, of course, “baby examples”; for real–life requirements on the key size, see the course notes or lectures.

The following questions are about factoring integers, and they also require the use of a computer algebra system. Some questions refer to Appendix A or B, posted along with the assignment. These are short excerpts from the book “Introduction to Cryptography With Coding Theory”, 2nd Ed., by W. Trappe and L. C. Washington, Pearson Prentice–Hall, 2006. Appendix C contains examples on the use of Maple.

3. You are trying to factor n = 642401. Suppose you discover that 5161072 ≡ 7 (mod n) and that 1877222 ≡ 22 · 7 (mod n). Use this information to factor n.

Hint: Look at the “Basic Principle” in Appendix A, and equate the right– hand sides of the two given congruences.

4. Let n = 537069139875071. Suppose you know that 859753244431662 ≡ 4624361062612 (mod n). Factor n.

Hint: Again, look at Appendix A.

5. The following ciphertext c ws encrypted with RSA modulus n using the exponent e:
n = 152415787501905985701881832150835089037858868621211004433e = 9007
c = 141077461765569500241199505617854673388398574333341423525

The prime factors are consecutive primes. Break the cipher, that is, find the decryption exponent d and obtain the plaintext (which is an integer).

Note: In spite of the reasonably large RSA modulus n, it is absolutely insecure, for the following reasons:

(1) The modulus n is much too small; most computer algebra systems can factor it very easily. (But here the point is to use the Fermat factorization method; see the hint below).

(2) The two prime factors are too close together, which makes them vulnerable to the Fermat factorization method; see again below. How– ever, randomly chosen primes are very unlikely to be too close together.
(3) If you look at the two primes after successful factoring, you will see that they are certainly not random. For a secure use of RSA, the two primes must be chosen randomly.

Hint: Read the paragraph on the Fermat factorization method in Appendix B, p. 182. It works best when the two factors are close together, as is the case here. In Maple, first use the command Digits:=50 to obtain 50–digit accuracy, then use the command round(sqrt(n*1.)) to change n to a decimal number, take its square root, and round to the nearest integer.)
