What is the most surprising or interesting thing you know about (HIMS) health information systems? Predict what the focus of health information systems will be ten years from now. Justify your post with examples. Additionally, consider an example of a human technology interface in health care, from clinical technology to administrative or electronic data. Propose one way the future of health care will improve with human interface technology. Next, provide one example of how human interface technology could hinder future health care delivery. Justify your response.

Throughout the 1990s, when personal computers (PCs) were widely used, improvement in PC technology almost always resulted in a decrease in price of PCs. Nowadays people use smartphone, but improvement in technology is usually accompanied by an increase in the price of the smartphone (every new model of the iPhone or Samsung is more expensive than the previous one), which is exactly the opposite of what happened in the PC market. What is different about the smartphone market (or about the improvement in smartphone technology) that is different from the PC market (or the improvement in PC technology)? Please give an explanation.

Technology is the focus of Chapter 5 in the Collier/Evans textbook.  To quote the chapter’s opening paragraph, “Technology – both physical and information – has dramatically changed how work is accomplished in every industry – from mining to manufacturing to education to health care.”  I might add that technology has also had a dramatic impact on our personal lives.  For this session I am asking you to identify three examples of how technology has changed your life, at least one of which should be work related.  Explain your answer.

Games, Inc. is considering selling tennis racquets. It can use a proven technology to produce the racquets. This method will produce a $24M cashflow next year. The firm could also choose a new experimental method for producing racquets. This method has lower costs if it works. If the new technology works it will produce a cashflow of $28M next year. If it is unsuccessful it will produce a zero cashflow next year. The probability of success is 0.8 and the cashflows are uncorrelated with the market return. Both methods require a $20M dollar investment today. There are no cashflows after next year. The risk-free rate is 10%. The market price of risk is 8.4%. Games, Inc. has decided to raise $20M by issuing debt. The bondholders believe Games Inc’s assertion that they will use the old technology. (You could also assume that the bondholders have never heard about the new technology).

What is the NPV of the equity if the old technology is chosen? What is the NPV of the equity if the new technology is chosen? Which project will shareholders choose? [5 Marks]

There are techniques in biotechnology that can create genetically engineered babies.

This technology can cure genetic diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis, Hodgkin’s Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Alzheimer’s, or Sickle Cell Anemia. However, it can also be used to give cosmetic characteristics or traits that would result in an unfair advantage, such as creating better athletes by giving them incredible strength. Write a 250-word Essay on how this technology should be used in the future. Should limits be placed on what can be done with this technology? How can such regulations be enforced?

OUTLINE

1) How should this technology be used in the future? - To prevent genetic diseases and assist the child in living a healthy life.

2) Should limits be placed on what can be done with this technology? - YES. This technology should not be used for superficial purposes, such as appearance concerns, building better athletes, and selecting the sex of the child.

3)How can such regulations be enforced? - By setting laws that require the procedures to only be used for health concerns and the prevention of genetic diseases.

State the decision for the main effect of length.

Retain the null hypothesis.

Reject the null hypothesis.    


State the decision for the main effect of technology.

Retain the null hypothesis.

Reject the null hypothesis.    


State the decision for the interaction effect.

Retain the null hypothesis.Reject the null hypothesis.    


(b) Based on the results you obtained, what is the next step?

Compute simple main effect tests for the significant interaction.

Compute pairwise comparisons for the technology factor.     

Compute pairwise comparisons for the length factor.

No further analysis is needed, because none of the effects are significant.

Brand valuations are critical to CEOs, financial and marketing executives, security analyst, institutional investors, and others who depend on well-researched, reliable information needed for assessments, and comparisons in decision making. Millward Brown Optimor has developed the Brand Top 100 most Valuable Global Brands for WPP, the world’s largest communications services group. Unlike other studies, the Brands Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands fuses consumer measures of brand equity with financial measures to place a financial value on brands. The file BandZTechFin (see folder) contains the brand values for the technology sector and the financial institutions sector in the BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands for a recent year. Assuming that the populations are unknown, is there evidence of a difference between the technology sector and the financial institutions sector with respect to mean brand value? (Use alpha = 5%). (How to solve this in excel? Which test to run? just mention all the steps, no need to solve)
