Discussion: The Ethics of Employing Botnets in Business

1. Some marketers and individuals aspiring to become influencers employ Internet botsautomated applications that run simple, repetitive tasks on the Internetto inflate the number of likes and fans online. So-called bot networks (botnets) operate large numbers of fake accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X. A rental agency based in Washington, D.C., went from two fans to almost 15,000 within a few days.
2. How do you feel about companies and their brands pretending they have actual traffic on their sites and buying likes?

Your assignment is to complete your own 24/7 Time Awareness Schedule for 7 days following the day you submit this. I recommend creating your schedule close to when your schedule will start, but whatever you decide, it must start after you submit the assignment. You can complete your assignment using pretty much whatever tool, template, or program works best for you. (This can be an online calendar, an hourly planner you already have, the template provided, etc.) The only requirements are that: – you must still follow the instructions to include everything required – your submission must be able to clearly show all hours of each day (possible exception for sleeping hours if you clearly state the time frame for sleep), and the full seven days of the week. Below are some possible options: paper template provided (in the back of the classroom, also hanging by the A-LEC front and back doors) PDF file found at smu.edu/StudySkills Excel file found at smu.edu/StudySkills (if you didn’t know, you have free access to Microsoft Office–download Excel at smu.edu/o365, scroll down and follow the instructions under “Obtaining the Microsoft 365 software.” You can also upload the file to Microsoft 365 online by logging in with your SMU credentials at smu.edu/o365.) Outlook/Google calendar some other program, template, or tool that works well for you List all your courses and the number of “study” hours for each class for the week. (Remember, “study” hours are not just intense studying. Think of them as “working on stuff for this course” hours… readings, homework, papers, studying for tests, office hours, tutoring, reviewing notes, etc. You should likely have approximately twice as many “study” hours in the week as the number of enrolled credit hours.) Complete the week’s schedule by following the instructions given here: 24-7 TA Schedule Instructions & Chart for Courses and Study Hours.pdf Submit: listed courses and “study” hours AND your schedule

In AT LEAST 1,500 words (total), pick a single company in the S&P 500 and answer the following 3 questions. Each question may vary in word count; however, no one question can be less than 350 words (=1 page of text) …In addition, you will provide an introduction, conclusion, and company background information not to exceed 200 words. An S&P company is suggested because information is more readily available; however, if you choose another company, please make sure you are able retrieve the necessary research. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE Aspiring professionals are often frustrated by this obstacle to career advancement. They think I need experience to get the job BUT I need the job to get experience!!! Maybe you can relate to this. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the question of education and experience requirements in hiring. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of human resources for the same company. How much work experience and education would or should be necessary? Would it vary by job? If so, how? And are there any exceptions? SUCCESSION PLANNINGSome organizations seem to just put off worrying about it until someone dies, resigns, or gets fired. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling the questions of employee development and succession planning. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of human resources for the same company. BUSINESS LOCATION–Location is a critical variable in determining not just where a businesss operations will be situated, but also where it will find its human capital and talent. First, research and describe how your chosen company is handling location strategy. If no information is available, research the cities they are located in and describe a probable strategy based on your research. Then, explain how you would handle it differently (if at all) if you were in charge of human resources. If you were asked to identify a new city (anywhere in the United States) for a corporate headquarters office, what city would you suggest and why? Be sure to consider variables like minimum wage and taxes, average education levels, and other factors that would be relevant to such a decision. ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE: The paper should also include a minimum of five (5) sources properly cited in-text and in a reference list in APA format. For every source, you will have at least one citation. Remember, you cite information that is 1) not common knowledge, 2) paraphrased, or 3) directly quoted. The paper should be in proper APA format with a title page (no abstract required). The preferred voice is 3rd person.

I have attached a screenshot detailing labels and data to include within each graph

overall:

1. Create two graphs one to show frequency using a bar chart and other duration using a stacked column chart. Be sure to use attached file as it details on what graph should contain such as labels, counts, etc
2. Can use any user friendly graph platform such as lucidchart or other platforms.
3. make sure both graphs are eye catching and have variability between the two (meaningful differences such change, contrast, or spread).

questions to graph coverage?

• Ask yourself these 3 questions:
• Can I immediately see differences between sessions?
• Would this graph look almost the same if one bar were removed?
• Does the viewer learn something new by seeing the graph?

Goal: The goal is to build a market research assistant that provides information on an industry chosen by the user. The intended user is a business analyst who conducts market research at a large corporation. Input-Output The market research assistant consists of 2 separate components: A) Industry report Input: An industry chosen by the user Output: An industry report based on Wikipedia B) Predictive analysis of startup success in the industry Input: An industry chosen by the user Outputs: Python code that: Creates a synthetic dataset of startups in the chosen industry, with: y: success (0/1) x: 10 features relevant to the focal industry Builds a supervised learning model that predicts startup success Execution of the code (optional), as it may not yet always be stable. Questions A) Industry report [5] Q1. Specify what information should be contained in the industry report. The report should include the url of any Wikipedia page used. [5] Q2. Provide the instruction (or system prompt) used for generating a report. Include the requirement that the report should be less than 500 words. [5] Q3. What approach did you take for testing the assistants performance for generating a report? [5] Q4. What steps did you take to improve the assistants performance for generating a report? You may list successful and unsuccessful steps. [30] Q5. Provide the url for the market research assistant that generates the industry report. We will assess the market research assistant using 5 different industries. B) Predictive analytics [5] Q6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using synthetic data for this prediction task? [5] Q7. How would you split the data to prevent overfitting? [5] Q8. Provide the instruction (or system prompt) used for the predictive analysis. [5] Q9. What steps did you take to improve the assistants performance for conducting the predictive analysis? You may list successful and unsuccessful steps. [30] Q10. Provide the url for the market research assistant that conducts the predictive analytics. We will assess the market research assistant using 5 different industries. Hints You can use Microsoft Copilot (New agent), which is included in (https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat/). Other options are fine too (e.g., OpenAI (Custom gpt) or Google Gemini (Gem)
