Integration of technology to Undertake Global Challenges
Geographically speaking Puerto Rico is an island separated from other bodies of land. New technologies such as the cell phone, the Internet, the Amazon platform and applications such as WhatsApp, among others, allow the interaction of Puerto Rican companies with global markets.
Instructions:
The student must evaluate the main challenges that Puerto Rican artisans have to promote and sell their crafts in markets outside of Puerto Rico. After identifying the main challenge that artisans face, the student must answer, in an argumentative way, the following questions:
What is the main challenge that artisans face to promote and sell their crafts outside of Puerto Rico?
What technology tool (s) (example: preparing a site on wix.com) would you recommend to deal with the main challenge?
How will you use the recommended technology tool (s) to promote and generate sales for artisans?
Throughout history, there has been a great deal of debate over the purpose of emotions. Some argue that emotions must serve a purpose. After all, if they didnt, why would humans have evolved such complex emotional systems and expressions? Others argue that emotions do not serve much of a purpose at all and they are really just a side effect, much like a runny nose is a side effect of a cold. What do you think? Do you think emotions have a purpose or not? If so, what is this purpose, and what evidence can you provide to back up your claim? If not, why do you think emotions serve no purpose, and what evidence can you provide to back up your claim?

For this assignment, you will research and analyze the organizational performance and effectiveness of one of the organizations listed below. You will also propose OB-relevant recommendations for change and improvement.
IKEA
Costco
Apple
Amazon
American Airlines
US Department of Homeland Security
You do not need to confirm which company you are analyzing. It will be assumed you will choose one of these companies. Alternative organizations with unique challenges may be selected for analysis but will require instructor approval. Examples would be the privatization of Dell, or an organization for which you have a career-oriented reason. To discuss alternative Final Project topics, post a message under the Ask the Professor discussion board.
Your analysis should include:
an interview, if available, of organizational members, stakeholders, or qualified relevantly-experienced OB experts familiar with your topic
