Infotech in Global Economy ITS 832

Chapter 17 introduced some challenges to policy making in developing countries. If you were an analyst working for the St. Petersburg Informational and Analytical Center, explain how you would use data available to you to prepare a report for the Governor for the State Program “Combating Proliferation of Drugs.” Briefly explain what you would include in your report to detail the problem, and what the forecast results would be for each of several responses to the problem. (You do not have to use actual data from a real model for this discussion.) The idea is to focus on how models can use real data to create forecasts.

To complete this assignment, you must do the following:

A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, assume you are an analyst working for the St. Petersburg Informational and Analytical Center. Explain how you would use data available to you to prepare a report for the Governor for the State Program “Combating Proliferation of Drugs.” Briefly explain what you would include in your report to detail the problem, and what the forecast results would be for each of several responses to the problem. (You do not have to use actual data from a real model for this discussion.) The idea is to focus on how models can use real data to create forecasts. (250 words, references not included)
 

B) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that student’s recommendations. (150 words, references not included) our comments should extend the conversation started with the thread.

Remember your initial post on the main topic should be posted by Thursday 11:59 PM (EST You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts. A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post. Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic. 

NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words.

Quiz Question

Identify two scholarly resources that present the theoretical grounds of policy implementation and write a short description of the content presented in the papers in 4-5 sentences. Write the references in APA format. (250 words, references not included)

EXAMPLE:

Could other DLP traders have manipulated GEDS’s transaction systems like Kerviel did?

No, the methods employed by Kerviel were so   intricate that no one else could have replicated them.

Yes, Kerviel did not have to customize the systems   in any way in order to conceal his unauthorized and fictitious trades.

1

Had there   been any previous instances or notifications of deficiencies in DLP’s   controls?

2

Was   Société Générale prudent in assigning sole responsibility for market risk   oversight to trading management?

3

Did GEDS make effective use of market risk   management?

4

Why did financial reporting catch the fraud,   not trading management, operations, or risk management?

Was Société Générale so focused on   achieving growth on many fronts that it neglected to invest in sufficiently   robust systems and internal controls?
