High-level computer languages are created to be understood by humans. As a result, the keywords and the commands of these languages are easy to understand. Machine languages are harder to understand and operate.

For this assignment, you should assume that the memory cells at addresses F0 to F9 are in the machine described here, and that it contains the hexadecimal bit patterns described in the following table.

Note: Each memory address contains 2 values that must be used separately. For example, your first step is to read the first value from memory address F0, which is 2. When you need the next value, read it from the second part of memory address F0, which is a 0. The first part of memory address F1 is next, which is a C, and so on.

1. Explain (in detail) each step of the machine cycle. Show the contents of each of the registers and each of the memory cells after the execution of the code.
2. Compare and contrast machine and high-level languages using resources from the Internet or AIU’s library. Be sure to explain why the hexadecimal and binary codes are important for programming in both languages.

Step 1

Information technology (IT) solutions are often dependent upon the application of the discrete mathematics, probability, and statistical methods that you have been introduced to in this course. Click here to refer to an example about how an IT performance problem would be addressed using these techniques.

Note: This example includes advanced topics, and you are not expected to understand the article fully. It is offered here simply as an example of how these techniques may be employed to solve IT problems.

Step 2

Identify and reference a problem in an IT-related system where statistical methods could be used to analyze, evaluate, and recommend performance improvements for the system.

Summarize the problem, and discuss how you would use the discrete mathematics, probability, and statistical methods from this course to analyze the associated data, present the information, and draw inferences to develop a solution that would improve system performance. Explain your reasoning.

Feel free to reflect on the example referenced in Step 1, and discuss your thoughts about it

read the case study at the end of chapter 6 “Are Drivers or Smartphones to Blame?” Reflecting on the unit Reading, answer these questions:

1. How ethical and socially responsible are the opinions of Olivia & Raphael about the advantages of smartphones?
2. Do you believe that it is important for organizations to be socially responsible? Explain.
3. What tips can you take from the case study and the Reading to improve your understanding of being a socially responsible leader?
4. How does this case study add to or change your thoughts on leadership?
5. What ideas from the case study will you add to your leadership profile?

Case study:

LEADERSHIP CASE PROBLEM A

Are Drivers or Smartphones to Blame?

Top-level leaders at a company that manufactures smartphones, tablet computers, and portable music players, among other electronic devices held a one day retreat. The purpose was to think though how well the company was contributing to society. Technology chief, Olivia, commented, “I am very proud of us as a company. Think of what we have done for the world. Because of our products, people are more productive, smarter, and happier. At any time of the day, millions of users can access the information they need, and get in touch with whoever they want. Furthermore, they don’t have to clutter their minds with facts, or even know how to spell correctly, or do basic math. With the tap of a few buttons, or touching a screen, they get all the information they need.” CEO Raphael added, “You are so right Olivia. Also, people don’t even have to pay for landline telephones any longer. And think of how hundreds of companies can hire fewer people because of our devices. I learned recently that many car dealerships have laid off many of their in-store sales reps because a good deal of car purchasing is now done over the Internet. And people don’t have to purchase those ink-laden newspapers because they can get all the information they need on a handheld device.” Derek, the marketing manager, with a worried look said to the group. “We all make a great living from the electronic devices we make and sell, and so do our competitors. The information technology industry has created millions of jobs. And maybe we have also eliminated millions of jobs. However, I want us as industry leaders to focus on one issue right now. “The accidents and deaths our devices are facilitating are getting out of hand. At first it was people sending and receiving calls on their cell phones that was creating driving hazards. Then along came texting which is even a bigger problem. Now we have data that the number of people who surf the Internet while driving is surging. “I know that states, provinces, and municipalities forbid texting or handheld phone use while driving, but the laws are largely ignored, and the carnage continues. I am asking us to consider what role we should play as an industry leader in getting consumers to use our products in a way that does not harm or kill other people on the streets and highways.” Raphael replied, “I think that local governments, Internet service providers, and perhaps schools have more responsibility for minimizing accidents with smartphone users. If we were making kitchen knives instead of electronic devices would we be responsible for the occasional deaths and injuries caused by these knives? “In our situation, we have to ask whether the drivers or the smartphones are to blame for the accidents of distracted drivers.”

you will write a case study analysis that focuses on the communication strategy of an organization of your choice. In this assignment, you will need to a) summarize the communication strategy of your chosen organization, b) analyze the communication strategy of your chosen organization, and c) explain how you would integrate the communication strategy into the current organization where you work or into a former organization where you have worked. A. Summarize the Communication Strategy Locate an article that discusses the communication strategies used by your chosen organization. After reading your chosen article, you may find the exercise below to be helpful in developing a summary paragraph. Identify the author(s) of your chosen article, and complete the following exercise: [Insert author’s name here] discusses how innovative communication processes have helped [insert name of the organization here] resolve [insert issue here]. The top reason [insert author’s name here] holds that position is __________. A second reason [insert author’s name here] holds that position is __________. A third reason [insert author’s name here] holds that position is __________. After filling in the blanks, you should have a list of the positions and claims made by the authors about your chosen organization. Shape your notes into a summary paragraph. (Do not simply include the list that you completed in the exercise above.) Remember that the summary paragraph is where you will present information from the source. You will provide your analysis and interpretation in the following section of the paper. B. Analyze the Communication Strategy Be sure to include how the communication strategy impacts the organization on multiple levels. Feel free to use the four levels of sales, services, value chain, and continuous improvement as a model, which was discussed in the case study on the Dell Computer Corporation in the Unit VI Lesson. (Note: Your categories may be different.) In the analysis portion of the assignment, discuss any problems (or potential problems) with the communications in your chosen organization, and provide potential solutions based on your research. Include ways that effective management could help to provide a solution. C. Explain Integration Techniques Finally, explain how this communication strategy could be integrated into your current or former workplace. You will need to reference at least two academic sources. Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.
