However, the degree of success in implementing and investing in IT depends on how the fit between the Technology side and the business side of the overall strategy of the organization. However, this alignment of the IT with the business strategy can be accomplished through the use various IT strategic alignment models. This case analysis will use the Scott Morton Alignment model which is considered as more simple yet powerful model by allowing the use of IT as a strategic driver of change. The use of this model will allow us to view the Metalco from the perspective of strategy, structure, management processes, technology and roles and skills and how they fit into the overall strategy of the organization.

The proposed SAP Project will cost Metalco around $23.500 millions with tangible savings in labor cost of 10 million dollars over the period of 5 years with increasing margins to the tune of $ 5 million over the period of 5 years. However, the major benefit of this proposed project wills easy manageability of the operational activities of the traditional systems at the Metalco is more directed at generating the reports rather than managing the operational activities.

Financial CrisisStudent`s NameInstitutional Affiliation 

Financial Crisis    Financial crisis is discovered when organizations, country, or any other financial assets lose a huge part of their nominal value, which can either be the value on a note like dollar bill or the exact amount of a share and bond at the time of its issuance (Kindleberger & Aliber, 2005). It does not represent the current market price of the share. Moreover, a number of factors related to market value may cause the crises. Notably, financial crisis mostly lead to the loss of paper wealth but does not cause or alter the real economy in most cases. Many theories have been developed by economists to explain the development of financial crisis but none of the theories has helped in preventing it from happening. Causes of Financial Crisis of 2008Deregulation    Deregulation is the primary cause of the crisis and occurs when regulations and restrictions in particular firms or industries are removed. According to  Kindleberger and Aliber (2005), deregulation in the financial industry allows banks to be involved in hedge fund trading in regard to their derivatives. As a result, the banks demands for more mortgages to finance their profits from the derivatives. Therefore, the banks create loans that are described as “interest-only loans” and are only affordable to the minor subprime vagabonds. Securitization    Securitization is a practice where there is bringing together of various types of contractual debt and selling of the cash flows generated from contractual debts to third party investors in the form of security. Contractual debt may is part of residential mortgages. Auto loans also are included in contractual debt. A security backed mortgage  is a financial product and its value can be calculated based on the guarantee of the mortgage. More often, acquiring a mortgage from a banking institution, involves selling a hedge fund on the accessory market (Lau & Valencia, 2008). Later, it follows a chain of processes, including calculating the future value of the mortgage before selling it as a loan to the investors. Securitization causes financial crisis – investors takes all the risk of default because they have no worry concerning the risk as they have been backed up with insurance. Result of the Crisis World Wide    Financial crisis deter economic growth of both developed and developing countries. The developed countries are not shaken, in a significant way, by financial crisis as compared to developing countries. Particularly, the developing countries rely on developed countries for support, which is cut of when these developed countries are experiencing economic crisis. Systematic Risk    Systematic risk can be defined as the uncertainty inherent to all of market segment. It is made of the daily fluctuations in the market. Moreover, it can be represented using interest rates, wars, and recession, as the sources (Fratianni & Marchionne, 2009). The only way to avoid systematic risk is through hedging.Conclusion    Economists have developed many theories to explain the development of financial crisis but none of them has helped in preventing it from happening. Practically, the financial crisis was caused by the creation of too much money by the banks. The money was used to implement house prices and speculation of the financial markets, which has led to accumulation of debt. The accumulation caused a financial crisis, when the debt was not able to be paid.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on The Risky Us High School Behavior, Drug Abuse and Alcohol Impairment. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

The researchers randomized the two groups of the participants. the students were selected from the high school and screened for the driving license allowing the independent, uncontrolled and unsupervised driving activity. It was distributed 30 days before the period of the study and a survey for 15-week of the research carried out on the vehicle that served instrumental in the period. The parent provided the consent and the privacy of the participants and data protected by the certificate of confidentiality.The collected data or the demographic factors were analyzed using the multivariate sequential logistic regression. The treatment group provided the immediate feedback information of the green lights without the effect of the gravitational force as well as flashing lights after an occurrence of an event. The treatment group – lights plus received the feedback from the light only and the feedback sent by the parents indicating the risks and the score for the week.The events were not significantly different between the two groups and showed that the calculated measure of central tendency and measures of variation were higher in light plus group in relative comparison to the first group throughout the period. Lights plus group involved themselves in the few events. Thirteen percent of the sampled students were reported to drive while impaired (DWI) in the period of study. Evaluation and recorded events showed that 74% of the lights only group made the sharp cornering while 10% applied the hard braking.
