Speculate on the main reasons why the skills and training of project managers have changed over time. Give your opinion as to whether these changes have been good for business. Provide a rationale for your response.

Suppose you are starting a Project Management Office (PMO) at an organization. Give your opinion as to what the key considerations would be for the endeavor to be successful. Speculate whether you would hire an experienced project manager or a consulting company to facilitate the starting of the PMO. Support your rationale with at least two (2) advantages of hiring your selection.

Suppose nodes A and B are each behind their own NAT firewall (9.7 Network Address Translation).

A ──── NAT_A ──── Internet ──── NAT_B ──── B

A and B attempt to connect to one another simultaneously, using TCP. A sends to the public IPv4 address of NAT_B, and vice-versa for B. Assume that neither NAT_A nor NAT_B changes the port numbers in outgoing packets, at least for the packets involved in this connection attempt. Show that the connection succeeds. (Note that, because A has already sent a packet to B at the time B’s packet to A arrives at NAT_A, the latter packet is allowed through, and is delivered to A.)

Carlos takes a glass of cold water from the refrigerator and puts it on a table. The day is sunny
and the temperature is 30 °C. Once outside the refrigerator, the water temperature was
0 °C and after 10 minutes it rose to 18 °C. Determine a differential equation that models the
temperature change over time, assuming the reason at which the temperature changes
of the drink is proportional:

a) The difference between its own temperature and that of the surrounding environment.

b) Determine what happens with temperature when time tends to infinity.

c) the square of the difference between its own temperature and that of the surrounding environment.

Often organizations are faced with the necessity of changing the direction or focus of their organization – due to competition, due to new technology, due to environmental issues, regulations, etc. In these situations, uncomfortable changes are sometimes required.

a) Would younger or older employees be more likely to embrace change?

b) Would successful or less successful organizations be more likely to embrace change?

c) One element in reinforcing change within an organization is to replace people and hire outsiders. Even if done with a great deal of care and understanding, this can often come across as a somewhat cruel undertaking. Why is it necessary?

You have recently been hired to lead a team comprised of relatively long term, experienced employees. Their performance has been generally satisfactory; however, changes are coming and it will be your job to affect this change. As the “new sheriff” in town, what sources of power and influence are available to you? Which do you feel would be most successful and why? What are the potential consequences of your using the types of power and influence you identified? How do you think you would best be able to resolve any conflicts within the team?

Bok Corp.'s ROE last year was only 5%, but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-capital ratio of 40%, which will result in annual interest charges of $561,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of $1,258,000 on sales of $17,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 2.1. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 35%. If the changes are made, what will be the company’s return on equity?
