Case Assignment
In your teams, use the Internet to plan a trip to a location outside the United States. Have each individual, working independently, use the services of a different online travel site such as orbitz.com, Travelocity.com, kayak.com, Concierge.com, expedia.com, etc. (search "online travel sites" for additional options). Pull together to share the findings of the group.
a. Find the lowest airfare.
b. Examine a few hotels by class.
c. Get suggestions about what to see.
d. Find out about local currency, and convert $1,500 to that currency with an online currency converter.
e. Compile travel tips.
The above analysis was done with traditional Web resources. Now after reading the Blockchain material in the Module Reading propose how this approach to travel planning could be changed or re-invented with Blockchain.
Prepare a report comparing how each site performed in terms of its ease of use, helpfulness, and best overall deal. Also provide a comparison with the Blockchain approach the group proposed. Each member of the team posts the results of the analysis and a discussion of the team processes. (If a team member cannot for location reasons work in a team, then that person can do the project on his/her own.)
Assignment Expectations
Produce a 3- to 4-page paper analyzing and comparing online travel sites. Use of Excel and tables is highly recommended along with a description of your analysis. The final report should include the report findings combined in one Word doc. Your paper must be double-spaced and include a cover page.
• Each member of the team will post the report to your individual dropbox. Be sure to have the names of all team members on the cover sheet.
SLP Assignment
Cost Comparison of Web Conferencing
The two owners of Spinner Media Services Inc. wanted to cut travel costs and productivity losses (wasted time) and maintain the benefits of person-to-person collaboration. They decided to use Web conferencing internally for collaboration and externally for sales demonstrations to customers. Their options are per-user licensing plans based on the number of seats or participants. The decision would depend on cost comparisons based on these data estimates:
• Approximately 100 meetings per year
• An average of 12 participants per meeting
• Each meeting lasting about one hour, which takes into consideration the need to get the meeting set up at least 15 minutes in advance and meeting for 45 minutes
• 250 unique participants, consisting of 50 employees and 200 customers.
