Literature
Like to have it done on one of the following;
Aphrodite
Area
Hades
Poseidon
Zeus

Basic Overview
The assignment is to create a PowerPoint presentation on a legendary figure, place, item, or event from world literature (1600 CE or earlier). It

should contain roughly 800-1200 words of text and some form or forms of other media (art, etc.). This length requirement will bend a bit depending on

the project type, so contact me with any questions you have.
Note that all writing in the project should be original; the projects will be run through Turnitin upon submission, and all distinctive matching

information caught by Turnitin must be formatted as a quotation. DO NOT copy-paste material without immediately marking it as a quotation and citing

it. Any multimedia (art, music) inserted or linked in the presentation should also include full bibliographic information.
All projects should have:
1. a title page
2. MLA style citations/works cited page.
3. The project’s text should be 800-1200 words long or so.
As long as the project has all of these items, you can let your imaginations roam a bit to come up with something really creative.

Guidelines for Choosing an Topic
The chosen figure/place/event/item should be known before 1600 CE and be primarily legendary or mythological, not historical. The presentation needs

to include a combination of information and analysis, so make sure to choose a figure, etc. that lends itself to analysis.

Sources
Required sources:
• at least 5 secondary/critical sources; 2 must be peer-reviewed
• at least 1 primary source (literary text, artwork) written/created before 1600
DO NOT rely on Wikipedia or About.com as major resources for the project. These can be useful as effective ways to get started, but only use them as a

springboard to other stronger resources. The bibliography and further reading sections of Wikipedia pages can be particularly helpful in finding

additional sources.

Audio Visual Corporation

Audio Visual Corporation (AVC) manufactures and sells visual display equipment. Headquartered in Boston, it has seven sales offices with nearby warehouses that carry its inventory of new equipment and replacement parts. AVC has a departmentalized manufacturing plant with assembly, maintenance, engineering, scheduling, and cost accounting departments as well as several component parts departments.

When management decided to upgrade its AIS, they installed a mainframe at headquarters and local area networks at each sales office. The IS manager and four systems analysts were hired shortly before they integrated the new computer and the existing AIS. The other IS employees have been with the company for years.

During its early years, AVC had a centralized decision-making organization. Top management formulated all plans and directed all operations. As the company expanded, decision making was decentralized, although data processing was highly centralized. Departments coordinated their plans with the corporate office but had the freedom to develop their own sales programs. However, information problems developed, and the IS department was asked to improve the company’s information processing system once the new equipment was installed.

Before acquiring the new computer, the systems analysts studied the existing AIS, identified its weaknesses, and designed applications to solve them. In the 18 months since the new equipment was acquired, the following applications were redesigned or developed: payroll, production scheduling, financial statement preparation, customer billing, raw materials usage, and finished goods inventory. The departments affected by the changes were rarely consulted until the system was operational.

Recently the president stated, “The systems people are doing a good job, and I have complete confidence in their work. I talk to them frequently, and they have encountered no difficulties in doing their work. We paid a lot of money for the new equipment, and the systems people certainly cost enough, but the new equipment and new IS staff should solve all our problems.”

Two additional conversations regarding the new AIS took place.

BILL TAYLOR, IS MANAGER, AND JERRY ADAMS, PLANT MANAGER

Jerry: Bill, you’re trying to run my plant for me. I’m the manager, and you keep interfering. I wish you would mind your own business.

Bill: You’ve got a job to do, and so do I. As we analyzed the information needed for production scheduling and by top management, we saw where we could improve the workflow. Now that the system is operational, you can’t reroute work and change procedures, because that would destroy the value of the information we’re processing. And while I’m on that subject, we can’t trust the information we’re getting from production. The documents we receive from production contain a lot of errors.

Jerry: I’m responsible for the efficient operation of production. I’m the best judge of production efficiency. The system you installed reduced my workforce and increased the workload of the remaining employees, but it hasn’t improved anything. In fact, it might explain the high error rate in the documents.

Bill: This new computer cost a lot of money, and I’m trying to make sure the company gets its money’s worth.

JERRY ADAMS, PLANT MANAGER AND TERRY WILLIAMS, HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER

Jerry: My best production assistant, the one I’m grooming to be a supervisor, told me he was thinking of quitting. When I asked why, he said he didn’t enjoy the work anymore. He’s not the only one who is unhappy. The supervisors and department heads no longer have a voice in establishing production schedules. This new computer system took away the contribution we made to company planning and direction. We’re going back to when top management made all the decisions. I have more production problems now than I ever had. It boils down to my management team’s lack of interest. I know the problem is in my area, but I thought you could help me.

TERRY: I have no recommendations, but I’ve had similar complaints from purchasing and shipping. We should explore your concerns during tomorrow’s plant management meeting.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1.

Identify the problems the new computer system created, and discuss what caused them.
2.

How could AVC have avoided the problems? How can they prevent them in the future?
