Due Week 5 and worth 220 points
Now that you assessed the business, identified some of the inefficient HR related processes plaguing Larson Property Management Company, and pinpointed a few possible solutions, it is time to choose an HRIS application that will best suit the business. In this assignment, you will provide a blueprint for the new system, and select a vendor that provides the type of HRIS you believe is most efficient and effective.
To prepare for this assignment, review the Larson Property Management Company case scenario, and then research logical process modeling with data flow diagrams and HRIS vendors that may suit the needs for Larson Property Management.
Instructions:
Write a three to four-page proposal, in which you:
Two Ways to View an HRIS: Data Versus Process
1. Explain the importance of viewing the HRIS from both a data and process perspective. Next, explain how the change team will use this information to address identified needs from Phase II: Analysis.
Logical Process Modeling with Data Flow Diagrams and Physical Design Choice
2. Based on your research of logical process modeling with data flow diagrams, explain the key business activities and processes in the HR system, and how the data will flow. Next, determine the physical design and explain your reasoning for the design. Defend your decisions with theory and findings from past readings and class activities.
Choose HRIS Vendor
3. Now that you know the type of HRIS you will be implementing, it is time to choose an HRIS vendor. Compare and contrast three vendors, including a description of the cost, capabilities, and HR functions that the HRIS caters to.

Assignment Overview

Before beginning this assignment, make sure you have gone carefully through all of the required readings for this module.  It is very important to carefully absorb the general concepts as well as the numerical examples in the background readings.  For this assignment, you will have to answer some purely conceptual questions, as well as some numerical problems.  For conceptual questions, make sure to thoroughly explain your answers and to cite specific readings from the required background materials to explain your answers.  For numerical problems, make sure to show all of your work and explain how you arrived at your answers (partial credit can be given if you get the final answer wrong but do some of the steps correctly).

Case Assignment

Part A: Conceptual questions

1. Suppose you own a pet shop.  Your sales are decent but a marketing consultant tells you that you could increase your sales and be able to charge a higher price if you spend some money on local television ads.  If the consultant is right, will advertising lead to an increase in quantity demanded?  Or a shift in the demand curve?  Both?  Neither?  Explain your answer and make sure to cite at least one of the required readings in your answer.
2. You are the owner of a furniture factory.  You normally produce 100 pieces of furniture a day because that is how much you can produce given the amount of qualified workers in your town and the amount of reasonably priced wood that you can purchase locally.  Then one day you get an order from a large national retail chain who wants to purchase 200 pieces of furniture a day from you.  You are hesitant, as you will have to pay higher wages to get some qualified workers to move to your town.  You also will need to pay higher prices for wood because you will no longer be able to rely solely on local suppliers and will have to spend more on shipping wood from other towns.  But you drive a hard bargain and the retail chain agrees to pay one and a half times your normal price.  Does this situation describe a change in quantity supplied?  A shift in the supply curve?  Both?  Neither? Explain your answer and make sure to cite at least one of the required readings in your answer.
3. Suppose marijuana has just been legalized in your state.  Nobody in your home town wants to start a marijuana business, as this would be too much of a stigma.  But being an MBA student, you know a good business opportunity when you see one and decide to take a stab.  Shortly after starting up your business, you gain a loyal following of customers and start raking in some steep profits.  However, the local government decides that they want a cut of your profits and starts charging a 20% sales tax on marijuana.  Do you think this would lead to a 20% or greater loss in sales?  Do you think marijuana in this situation would be facing inelastic or elastic demand?  Explain your reasoning, and make sure to cite at least one of the required readings regarding elasticity.

Part B Quantitative Problem

Suppose the demand function for a new smartphone can be expressed as QD =  1000 – 1.5P with QD being quantity demanded and P being price.  The supply function can be expressed as QS = 50 + 2P

Fill out the following table using the above equations:

Now answer the following questions:

1. What is the equilibrium price?  You can compute this either using Microsoft Excel, or by using algebra from the equations above and solving for a price where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. Show your work by either showing the algebra steps or by showing how you used Excel to calculate.
2. Suppose the supply function changes to 100 + 2P.  What is the new equilibrium? Show your work by either showing the algebra steps or by showing how you used Excel to calculate.

Assignment Expectations

• Answer the assignment questions directly.
• Stay focused on the precise assignment questions. Do not go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.
• For computational problems, make sure to show your work and explain your steps.

For short answer/short essay questions, make sure to reference your sources of information with both a bibliography and in-text citations.

SECOND

One of the few books about economics to recently hit the New York Times bestseller’s list was Freakonomics by Levitt and Dubner.   The book was so popular they even made a movie about it.  The specialty of Levitt and Dubner is applying economics to unconventional, controversial, or sometimes even downright bizarre topics.  Some praise them for bringing economics to a wider audience, while others criticize them for not tackling serious issues or for delving into overly conversional areas.

So what’s all the fuss about?  Take a look for yourself by viewing some of their videos from YouTube, including clips from their movie, or take a look at some articles at their blog.  The links are below:

Choose one of the videos or blog articles that you find most interesting, and share the link with your classmates.  Discuss some of the following issues based on what you have viewed or read:

1. What did you find interesting about the video or article that you found?
   1. Did you find anything from any of the videos or articles that might help you understand some concepts from the class, or is their stuff too odd or far out there to be useful for this class?
   1. Overall, what is your impression of Levitt and Dubner?  Silly?  Interesting?  Bizarre?  Informative? Boring?  Other?
