1: Software tools

Order Description

No need for reference

3. How might using software tools to report project information lead to problems with control?

4. Review the case and answer questions that follows: BestSoft Enterprises, a leading manufacturer of electronic devices such as television and handheld computers, is currently in the process of developing its next generation device, the model 2000c. A key feature of the 2000c is its color display. According to the original project schedule, the 2000c is to be released 1 month from now. Because the amount of time required to convert the existing software to capitalize on the color display was significantly underestimated, the project has fallen behind schedule. The project
manager estimates that without additional resources, the development project will be 3 months late. He has also estimated that increasing the project’s budget of $3 million by 30 percent would permit the project to be completed on schedule. The added budget would be used primarily to staff the project with additional software engineers.
If released on schedule, first quarter demand for the 2000c is forecast to be 200,000 units at an initial price of $450. Demand data for similar products suggest that unit sales will increase 5 percent per quarter over the product’s 3-year life. Despite pricing pressures in the market, accounting data indicate that BestSoft is able to maintain a 20 percent contribution margin to profit and overhead through continuous process improvements and efficiencies accruing from producing in larger volumes.
Question 1: What has a larger impact on BestSoft’s profits, delaying the 2000c’s introduction by 3 months or increasing the project’s budget by 30 percent?
Question 2: Are there other factors you would consider in addition to profit?
Question 3: What should BestSoft do? Why?
Question 4: How generalizable do you think the results of your analysis in this particular case are to other situations?

3: The 1969 Stonewall Riots

Order Description

Thesis: The Stonewall Riots of 1969, could not have taken place anywhere but a big city like New York City. Many who identified with the LGBTQ community fled to the big city for the unabashed acceptance and ability to identify as who they were. However this sense of gay identity, only further contributed to the threat of being seen as a stronger group identity that could easily overwhelm. (If you have a better argument based thesis, please let me know).

Prompt: Developing and defending a thesis about the topic. Successful papers will make an interesting and falsifiable claim that will be supported by the content and the argumentation of the paper.

– Applying the format of an argumentative essay. The purpose of your essay is to defend an argument, and not simply generate research about it. Careful research will be necessary, but its purpose is to serve your analysis and defend your reasoning.
