Please note that the terms enterprise architecture and business architecture (business plan and model) are used in their broad sense. Specifically the assignment focuses on the âWhatâ and âWhyâ aspects of an Agile EA and its underlying fundamental concept, principle of practice and theoretical complexity issues. In particular, the assignment requires students to critically think about the relationship among enterprise IT architecture and business strategic and operation goals. Students are also expected to understand how various factors may influence formulation and subsequent implementation of enterprise architecture in organisations. Students are required to consult prescribed e-text books, you-tube and tutorial class presentation materials, published EA articles in the literature, electronic sources (including FIT5133 lecture notes) on enterprise architecture management. 3 of 3 All body text should be in Times New Roman Font size 12 with 1.5 line spacing and the âsuggested lengthâ specified for each question. Part A – This section addresses the what and why concepts of EA from lessons 1-3 1.

(2004). The nuts and dolts of teacher images in childrenâs picture storybooks: A content analysis. Education, 125, 41-55. Sample/ Population 62 childrenâs books and 96 images of teachers (Titles provided) Purpose How are teachers portrayed in the narratives and images found in childrenâs storybooks? Hypothesis â a propensity of images painting teachers in an unflattering light may have broader consequences on cultural perceptions of teachers and schooling. Childrenâs storybooks are not benign. Procedure/ Methodology/Study Type Qualitative â Ethnographic content analysis Variables/Instrumentation/ Definitions Findings Research Parameters â Teacher representation based upon: appearance, language, subject, approach, and effectiveness. Absence of data also noted. Inter-rater used to validate findings. Ethnographic Content Analysis â requires a reflexive and highly interactive relationship between researcher and data with the objective of interpreting and verifying the communication of meaning (34). Apprenticeship-of Observation â images and stereotypes acquired from a personâs experience with literature and media (33). Inter-rater â Professional who works independently of other researchers to validate findings (35). ⢠Teacher in childrenâs picture storybooks is overwhelmingly portrayed as a white, non-Hispanic woman. ⢠The teacher who is sensitive, competent, and able to manage a classroom effectively is a minority. ⢠The teacher is static, unchanging, and flat. ⢠Teacher is polarized. ⢠Teacher does not inspire the pursuit of critical inquiry (32 – 36). âIf those images children and parents see of âteacherâ are generally negative, then they will create a âworld viewâ of âteacherâ based upon stereotypeâ (33). âTeachers cannot effectuate positive change in their profession unless and until they are aware of the internal and external influences that define and shape the educational institutionâ (37). Childrenâs book list is provided. Detailed report on findings with specific titles used as examples. Limitations Further Research Abstract and purpose was multifold and at times disjointed. Appeared to be strong predisposition toward finding negative stereotypes before research is completed. How are educators portrayed in more advanced literature or in other cultural media genres? Do teachers in other countries face the same stereotyping? What has been the progression over time of teacher images? Promising related references:

- It is late June, and Sandra Huchim, head of operations at Mintendo, and Bill Smith, head of salesof We âRâ Toys, are about to get together to discuss production and marketing plans for the next6 months. Mintendo is the manufacturer of the popular Game Girl handheld electronic game that is sold exclusively through We âRâ Toys retail stores. The second half of the year is critical toGame Girlâs success, because a majority of its sales occur during the holiday shopping period.Sandra is worried about the impact that the upcoming holiday surge in demand will have on herproduction line. Costs to subcontract assembly of the Game Girls are expected to increase, andshe has been trying to keep costs down, given that her bonus depends on the level of productioncosts.Bill is worried about competing toy stores gaining share in the handheld electronic game marketduring the Christmas buying season. He has seen many companies lose their share by failing tokeep prices in line with the performance of their products. He would like to maximize the GameGirl market share in the handheld electronic game market.Both Sandraâs and Billâs teams produce a joint forecast of demand over the next six months, asshown in Table 9-7.We âRâ Toys sells Game Girls for $50 apiece. At the end of June, the company has an inventoryof 50,000 Game Girls. Capacity of the production facility is set purely by the number of workersassembling the Game Girls. At the end of June, the company has a workforce of 300 employees,each of whom works 8 hours of regular time at $15/hour for 20 days each month. Work rulesrequire that no employee work more than 40 hours of overtime per month. The various costs areshown in Table 9-8.Sandra, concerned about controlling costs during the periods of surging demand over theholidays, proposes to Bill that the price be lowered by $5 for the month of September. Thiswould likely increase Septemberâs demand by 50 percent due to new customers being attractedto Game Girl. In addition, 30 percent of each of the following two months of demand wouldoccur in September as forward buys. She believes strongly that this leveling of demand will helpthe company.Bill counters with the idea of offering the same promotion in November, during the heart of thebuying season. In this case, the promotion increases Novemberâs demand by 50 percent, owingto new customers being attracted to Game Girl. Additionally, 30 percent of Decemberâs demandwould occur in November as forward buying. Bill wants to increase revenue and sees no betterway to do this than to offer a promotion during the peak season.a. Which option delivers the maximum profit for the supply chain: Sandraâs plan, Billâsplan, or no promotion plan at all?b. How does the answer change if a discount of $10 must be given to reach the samelevel of impact that the $5 discount received?c. Suppose Sandraâs fears about increasing outsourcing costs come to fruition and thecost rises to $22/unit for subcontracting. Does this change the decision when thediscount is $5? need to be able to explain how i got the answer not necessary to show all work but this one is giving me fits.
