Answer: B dominant designs

Explanation:

The dominant design in a product class is, by definition, the one that wins the allegiance of the market place, the one that competitors and innovators must adhere to if they hope to command significant market. A dominant design is often the norm within the market which creates difficulties in other similar products to compete for market share. This often creates a monopoly over alternatives, whereby the only means of competing is to imitate or expand upon the concept.

Which of the following options is a challenge to the sustainability of strategically implementing an information​ system? A. Man
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

D. Customers and suppliers willing to learn and evolve with new technology

Explanation:

In an implementation of any new IT system, the resistance to adoption from different stakeholders in the organizations is one of the most difficult challenges that is faced by the project managers. To overcome this resistance, the project manager needs to be accustomed to the basic principles of change management which involves:

1 - Designing incentive systems that forces all the stakeholders to adopt the new system.

2- Manage proper communication strategy that conveys the benefits of adopting the new system and conduct training for all the users.

However, there will still be resistance from certain suppliers and customers  to the adoption of the new system. Which can lead to failed implementation of the system. However by doing the following, any organization can make sure that customers and suppliers quickly become an integral part of the IT system:

1- Take feedback from the customers and suppliers so that not only a more user friendly system can be designed, but also customers will be more invested as they feel they have been part of the decision making process.

2- Invite customers and suppliers to use the company resources to make themselves accustomed to the new system.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

<u>Quality of life is a hidden variable because it cannot be measured directly but must be inferred from measurable variables such as wealth, success, and environment. </u>

Explanation:

<u>Hidden variable:</u> The term "hidden variable" is described as the proposition that specific "statistical models" of any physical systems, for example, Quantum mechanics are being incomplete inherently, and along with this the apparent randomness of a particular system is being dependent not on "collapsing functions" but instead it is due to any unmeasurable or unseen or hidden variables.

Problem 6-3 Future Value and Multiple Cash Flows [LO1] Fuente, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cas
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Year 1 = $1,100

Year 2 = $1,330

Year 3 = $1,550

Year 4 = $2,290

(a) If the discount rate is 6 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:

To solve this problem, we must find the FV of each cash flow and add them. To find the FV of a lump sum, we use:

FV=P(1+r)^{t}

FV=1,100(1.06)^{3} +1,330(1.06)^{2} +1,550(1.06)+2,290

= $6737.51

(b)  If the discount rate is 14 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:

FV=1,100(1.14)^{3} +1,330(1.14)^{2} +1,550(1.14)+2,290

= $7415.17

(c) If the discount rate is 21 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:

FV=1,100(1.21)^{3} +1,330(1.21)^{2} +1,550(1.21)+2,290

= $8061.47
