Baden Corporation entered into a lease agreement for 100 photocopy machines for its corporate headquarters. The lease agreement qualifies as an operating lease except there is a bargain purchase option. After the 5-year lease term, the corporation can purchase each copier for $1,000, when the anticipated fair value is $2,500. Jerry Suffolk, the financial vice president, thinks the financial statements must recognize the lease agreement as a finance lease because of the bargain purchase option. The controller, Diane Buchanan, disagrees: “Although I don’t know much about the copiers themselves, there is a way to avoid recording the lease liability.” She argues that the corporation might claim that the copier technology advances rapidly and that by the end of the lease term, the machines will most likely not be worth the $1,000 bargain price.

(a) What ethical issue is at stake?

(b) Should the controller’s argument be accepted if she does not really know much about copier technology? Would it make a difference if the controller were knowledgeable about the rate of change in copier technology?

(c) What should Suffolk do?

The Mizkhan Museum recently deployed the Quuppa positioning system, powered by Bluetooth technology, to improve the interactive visitor experience and gain valuable information on visitor movement throughout the museum. The app-based solution that guides visitors through the museum from the moment they enter the facility, providing highaccuracy location information. Mizkan can use this information to analyse the pattern of visitor flow and gain insight into which exhibits are the most popular.

Deployment of the Quuppa system took only a single day and has allowed Mizkan to create a wholly unique experience based on how visitors move throughout the museum.

a) Discuss the prospect of using WiFi technology on indoor positioning instead of Bluetooth. Provide a comparative analysis.

b) Draw a conceptual network diagram using Bluetooth Technology and explain how the visitors would be tracked during their visit to the Museum.

c) Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth utilise the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band, resulting in a potential for interference between the two. Discuss potential techniquies for the coexistence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Power of Unified Communications

Chapter 7 highlights the power of the "Network." Advances in networking technology have made the internet possible and have provided the underpinning for a revolution in communications. The Macy's RFID (radio frequency identification) case study at the beginning of the chapter highlights the power of wireless networking in particular. As defined by the text, Unified Communications allows companies to merge disparate modes of communication into a single service. This is akin to the technology that underpins the "triple play" packages offered by cable and telecommunications providers alike which combines video, internet, and phone in one package.

By doing a search of the internet or by other research methods, find an example, or a case study, of an organization that has used Unified Communications to their advantage.

Ponder these questions:

1) What business problem was this organization trying to solve?

2) What was the current state of their communications technology infrastructure?

3) What unified communications technologies did they decide to deploy? What were the key components of this system?

4) How did they improve their business by implementing unified communications?

5) What do you believe the future holds for unified communications?
