Discussion Post A:
Write a discussionby discussing IAM in a federated cloud application.
Do not copy without providing proper attribution. This paper will be evaluated through SafeAssign.
Write in essay format not in outline, bulleted, numbered or other list format.
Use the five paragraph format. Each paragraph must have at least five sentences. Include 3 quotes with quotation marks and cited in-line and in a list of references. Include an interesting meaninful title.
Include at least one quote from each of 3 different articles, place the words you copied (do not alter or paraphrase the words) in quotation marks and cite in-line (as all work copied from another should be handled). The quotes should be full sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your discussion (they do not replace your discussion) to illustrate or emphasize your ideas.
It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your submission Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.
Discussion Post B: Forecasting New Products and Services
Forecasting provides very useful projections for established products and services, but newly introduced products and services have wildly different success results. Name and discuss at least one product or one service that exploded with exponential increase in demand shortly after their introduction. What about products and services that has largely been ignored?
Discussion Post C
Survey and opinion polling is another forecasting tool that may be helpful in making short-period forecast. The greatest value of survey and opinion polling techniques are that they help to uncover if consumer tastes are changing or if business executives begin to lose confidence in the economy to maximize their wealth.
