188) What is an enterprise network? What is the difference between a traditional network and an SDN? Suppose you are the CIO of a large enterprise; which network would you implement and why?

Difficulty: Medium

Section Reference 1: 6.1

Learning Objective 1: Compare and contrast the major types of networks.

Bloomcode: Comprehension, Application

Standard 1: AACSB || Communication

Standard 2 : AACSB || Technology

Solution: a network with multiple LANs and a WAN; traditional = rigid and lack flexibility to keep pace with increasing business networking requirements vs. SDN = manage network flows through centrally located software – dynamically adjusts data flows to meet business and application needs; SDN to adjust to network requirements

189) List and describe the six ways you can access the Internet. When you have to start purchasing your own Internet connection, which one will you choose and why? HINT: You should consider availability and the advantages/disadvantages of each option assuming availability; you should research beyond what is found in the book.

Difficulty: Hard

Section Reference 1: 6.2

Section Reference 2: 6.3

Learning Objective 1: Describe the wireline communications media and transmission technologies.

Learning Objective 2: Describe the most common methods for accessing the Internet.

Bloomcode: Evaluation

Standard 1: AACSB || Communication

Standard 2 : AACSB || Analytic

Standard 3 : AACSB || Technology

Solution:
Dial-up = least desirable, won’t be watching YouTube videos using it; can’t use the phone when on the Internet
DSL = don’t have to share with others on the network so it is more secure and don’t have slow down problems in the evenings; problems = harder to set-up
Cable modem = inexpensive and easy to set-up but speeds vary and will slow down when many people are using it
Satellite = like dial-up (not desirable), much slower than other options and have a download limit (one example website: http: //www.reviews.org/Internet-service/best-satellite-Internet-providers/)
Wireless = this generally applies to use on smartphones (all students will probably mention this), but this isn’t typically considered a viable solution for main use in the home (currently under experimentation by Google according to IT’s About Business 6.2 and https: //www.wired.com/2017/02/google-fiber-restructure/)
FTTH = extremely fast service offered by many companies now (not just new housing developments as mentioned in the text) and not necessarily that expensive but it is limited by location

190) How are the Internet and the World Wide Web different? How is an intranet related to the Internet? What function does an extranet provide?

Difficulty: Medium

Section Reference 1: 6.3

Learning Objective 1: Describe the most common methods for accessing the Internet.

Bloomcode: Comprehension, Analysis

Standard 1: AACSB || Communication

Standard 2 : AACSB || Analytic

Standard 3 : AACSB || Technology

Solution: Internet = network of networks that everyone can access; the WWW (e.g., Google, Facebook), e-mail, FTP run on the Internet
www = application that runs on the Internet
Intranet = a network that is internal to an organization and is not available to everyone; university registration system or course management system; an intranet is a protected network within an organization that can have access to the Internet
Extranet = a network that connects organizations – an intranet with external access; VPN

191) What is crowdsourcing? What benefits does crowdsourcing provide companies? What are the risks/concerns associated with crowdsourcing? Suppose you want to start your own business, would you consider crowdsourcing (why or why not)? Suppose you are the CEO of a large business, would you consider crowdsourcing (why or why not)?

Difficulty: Hard

Learning Objective 1: Explain the impact that collaboration network applications have had on business and everyday life.

Bloomcode: Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis

Standard 1: AACSB || Communication

Standard 2 : AACSB || Ethics

Standard 3 : AACSB || Analytic

Standard 4 : AACSB || Technology

Standard 5 : AACSB || Reflective Thinking

Solution: When an organization outsources a task to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call
Benefits:
Cheaper and quicker problem resolution
Tap a wider range of talent
Gain insight into customer desires
Rapid design process
Risks:
Experts only?
Accuracy
Up-to-date and relevant?
Too many ideas (most may be worthless but still need to evaluate)
Intellectual property (copyrights)
Quality
Small versus large depends – small may be prone to use it because it is cheap and won’t have a large workforce to develop ideas but could lose the idea (intellectual property); large may want to use it to get customer buy-in but have the resources to do it in-house if they want

192) What is the difference between e-learning and distance learning (do not simply provide the definitions for the two)? If you have taken a class online, did you enjoy it (why or why not)? If you haven’t taken a class online, would you like to (why or why not)? These last two questions are mostly opinion, but they should consider the benefits and drawbacks of e-learning.

Difficulty: Medium

Section Reference 1: 6.7

Learning Objective 1: Explain the impact that educational network applications have had on business and everyday life.

Bloomcode: Application

Standard 1: AACSB || Communication

Standard 2 : AACSB || Technology

Standard 3 : AACSB || Reflective Thinking

Solution: e-learning is anything supported by the web (so a physical class could include e-learning if YouTube videos are shown or the class uses a class management system); distance learning is any time the student and teacher don’t meet face-to-face (“online” classes); benefits = current and high-quality content, flexibility, less time to learn for most (learn at own pace), costs less; drawbacks = computer literate, miss face-to-face interaction, not sure who completed the assignment
