Ling Galleries

Howard Ling is a famous artist with two galleries in Hawaii. Many of his paintings and prints are sold to tourists who visit Hawaii from Hong Kong and Japan. He paints 6–10 new paintings a year, which sell for $50,000 each. The real money comes from

the sales of prints; a popular painting will sell 1,000 prints at a retail price of $1,500 each. Some prints sell very quickly, while others do not. As an artist, Howard paints he wants to paint. As a businessman, Howard also wants to create art that sells well. Howard visits each gallery once a Kong and one in Tokyo How can the Internet help Howard with the two new galleries month to talk with clients, but enjoys talking with the gallery staff on a weekly basis to learn what visitors say about his work and to get ideas for future work. Howard has

Decided to open two new galleries

Howard can benefit form Internet in following ways: 

• Instead of physically vising his clients in Hong Kong and Tokyo, Howard can communicate with them using E-mail or have a face-to-face conversation using Skype.
• 
  
• Howard can use Internet to set up a website where he can post his paintings and ask people who buy his paintings to leave feedback. Howard will get first hand feedback from his real customers, which is better then getting feed back from the gallery staffs.
•  
• Howard can advertise about his galleries using Internet. Internet can help him reach his targeted customers from any corner of the world.
•  
• Howard can connect with his customers to build relationship and also to increase his business by using social networking sites.
•  
• Howard can research what kind of paintings people are buying in what part of the world. This will help him decide weather to display his painting in Hawaii, Hong Kong or Tokyo.
•  
• Howard can use Internet to price his paintings. He can do so by looking the price of his competitors at that particular area.
•  
• Howard can use Internet to provide contact information of his galleries, opening hours and driving directions to his customers.
•  
• Howard can use Internet to increase significance of his paintings. For example: he can post the pictures of his paintings on the galleries’ website and caption or describe them with stories or things he want people do not know about it. People will be willing to pay more for paintings if they carry special story or history.
•  
• Howard can sell his paintings to any person who is willing to buy, but is not able to physically come to his gallery. His customer can order using Internet, transfer money using Internet and all Howard has to do is ship the painting to his customer.
•  
• Howard can connect all of his 3 galleries online. If the customer from Tokyo does not like paintings that are available in gallery at Tokyo, they can check Howard’s galleries’ in Hong Kong and Hawaii. Internet can help Howard retain his customers.

Alpha Corp

Iv. Alpha Corp

Alpha corp. is trying to decide the size of the connection It needs to the internet. The company estimates that it will send and receive a total of about 1000 emails per hour and that each email message is about 1500bytes in size. The company also estimates that it will send and receive a total of about 3000 web pages per hour and that each page it about 40,000 bytes in size.

• 1.      Without considering transmission efficiency, how large an internet connection would you recommend in terms of bits per second (Assuming each bye is eight bits in length)?
• 2.     Assuming they use a synchronous data link layer protocol with an efficiency of about 90% how large internet connection would you recommend?
• 3.     Suppose Alpha wants to be sure that its internet connection will provide sufficient capacity the next two years. How large an internet connection would you recommend?

#s of email per hour = 1000

Size of 1 email = 1500 bytes

Size of 1000 emails = 1500*1000 = 1,500,000 bytes

1,500,000 bytes = 1,500,000 * 8 = 12,000,000 bits

#s of web pages per hour = 3000

Size of each web page = 40,000 bytes

Size of 3000 web pages = 3000 * 40,000 = 120,000,000 bytes

120,000,000 bytes = 120,000,000 * 8 = 960,000,000 bits

Alpha Corp’s hourly data transmission is = (960,000,000 + 12,000,000) bits = 972000000

• 1.     Recommended speed for Alpha Corps i.e. - 972000000/ (60 * 60)
•       = 270000 bits per second 
•         or 270 kbps

• 2.     If the Efficiency is 90%, I would recommend (0.9*270000) 
•         = 300,000 bits per second) 
•             or 300 kbps
• 3.     For 2 years = 300,000 *60*60*24*365*2 
•          = 18,921,600,000,000 bits per second
•          = 8921600000 Kbps
•         = 2.3652 * 10^12 bytes

Persuasive presentation Analysis ( BCOM 3950 Carol Edelson's Class GSU )

Background:

The purpose of my presentation was to persuade the Executives of T-mobile to let their employees telecommute. In order to persuade I had my presentation organized into three parts: introduction, body and the conclusion. I started my presentation explaining the Executives what telecommute means, and also provided with the examples of some companies who are currently letting their employees telecommute. I choose the indirect approach to persuade my audiences. It is because I thought my audience might be resistant or skeptical. In order to reduce any skepticism and to establish creditability I decided to produce the facts in the beginning from some trusted sources.  I had two different data sets to start my presentation with. One of the data was from United States Bureau of Labor and the other was form Fortune Magazine. After introducing my topic I explained my audiences the benefits of telecommuting. At the end I summarized the benefits again. 

Findings:

I watched the recording of my presentation three times. First, I watched the recording with the sound muted, to see how my gestures are. Secondly, I just listened the recording with my eyes closed. I did this to analyze my pace, pronunciation, clarity and the confidence in voice.  Lastly, I watched the recording with the audio on. When I was watching the recording for the third time, I was focusing on whether my nonverbal elements are consistent with my message or not. Most Importantly, while was watching the recording each time, I was also comparing it with my previous presentations to see if there has been any improvement made.

·      In my previous presentation I was touching my belt buckle a lot while speaking and I was touching my chin whenever I had to think of a specific word.  Also, I failed utilize my space. I was working on these three things. I found out that there have been improvements made. In my recent presentation I was not confined to one place. I was walking and I did not touch my belt buckle or my chin.

·      I was also working to maintain my pace. I found that there was only little improvement made. The presentation still seemed rushed like the previous one. I also found that some words could be hard for my audiences to understand if I do not maintain my pace. The presentation did not seem to be evenly distributed.  For example: I spent most of my time introducing the topic and there was very little time left for explaining the main points. I found that I should spend more time explaining the main points to make the presentation effective.

·      Watching the recording I found that my nonverbal elements were consistent with my message. The presentation did not sound like it was memorized or canned. It sounded completely conversational. Depending upon what I was saying there was variance in pitch, inflection and projection.

·      Citing data form trusted sources made the presentation more credible.

Opportunities for improvement:

•       To ensure the message is delivered as desired, I have to maintain my pace in future.
•      In future while presenting, I have to prioritize my ideas and spend more time on the most important points.
•
