Designing the Human Interface

Jim Watanabe, project director for the “No Customer Escapes” customer loyalty system for Petrie’s Electronics, walked into the conference room. Sally Fukuyama, from marketing, and Sanjay Agarwal, from IT, were already there. Also at the meeting was Sam Waterston, one of Petrie’s key interface designers.

“Good morning,” Jim said. “I’m glad everyone could be here today. I know you are all busy, but we need to make some real progress on the customer account area for ‘No Customer Escapes.’ We have just awarded the development of the system to XRA, and once all the documents are signed, they will be coming over to brief us on the implementation process and our role in it.”

“I’m sorry,” Sally said, “I don’t understand. If we are licensing their system, what’s left for us to do? Don’t we just install the system and we’re done?” Sally took a big gulp of coffee from her cup.

“I wish it was that easy,” Jim said. “While it is true that we are licensing their system, there are many parts of it that we need to customize for our own particular needs. One obvious area where we need to customize is all of the human interfaces. We don’t want the system to look generic to our loyal customers—we need to make it unique to Petrie’s.”

“And we have to integrate the XRA system with our own operations,” added Sanjay. “For example, we have to integrate our existing marketing and product databases with the XRA CRM [see PE Figure 6-2]. That’s just one piece of all the technical work we have to do.”

“We’ve already done some preliminary work on system functionality and the conceptual database,” Jim said. “I want to start working on interface issues now. That’s why Sam is here. What we want to do today is start work on how the customer account area should look and operate. And, Sally, the customer loyalty site is a great opportunity for marketing. We can advertise specials and other promotions to our best customers on this site. Maybe we could use it to show offers that are only good for members of our loyalty program.”

“Oh yeah,” Sally replied, “that’s a great idea. How would that look?”

“I have ideas,” said Sam. Using a drawing program on a tablet PC, he started to draw different zones that would be part of the interface. “Here at the top we would have a simple banner that says ‘Petrie’s’ and the name of the program.”

“It’s not really going to be called ‘No Customer Escapes,’ is it?” asked Sally.

“No, that’s an internal name,” replied Jim, “but I don’t know what the real name will be yet.”

“OK, so the real name of the program will go in the banner, after ‘Petrie’s.’ Then on the left side, we’ll have a sidebar that has overview information about the customer account, things like name and points balance,” said Sam, drawing in a sidebar on the left of the screen. “There will also be links to more detailed information about the account, so the customer can see more details on past transactions and on his or her profile.”

“So the rest of the screen is open. That would be a perfect place for marketing information,” suggested Sally. “Would we want just one big window for marketing? Maybe we could divide it up into additional windows, so we could use one to focus on general promotions and one to advertise ‘member only’ promotions?”

“Yeah, we can do that,” said Sam.

Just then Jim’s phone beeped. Jim looked at it. Uh-oh, it was an urgent message from his boss, the director of IT. “Sorry, I need to take care of this immediately,” he told the group. “Can you guys work on this some more and then send me some of the screen designs you come up with?”

Later that afternoon, after the crisis was over, Jim sat back down at his desk for the first time in what seemed like a very long time. He glanced over his e-mail and noticed there was a message from Sam. Attached was a preliminary design for the customer account area. Jim opened it and looked it over (PE Figure 8-1). Hmmm, not bad, he thought. This is a good place for us to start.

ESSAY #4: Extreme Sports Supermen/women on Plato’s Cave

Page Requirements

3 -4 pages

Point Value

100

Percentage of Final Grade

Required Texts Needed to Write This Essay

Chapter 11 “The Flow of Next” from Rise of Superman (Links to an external site.) in which Steven Kotler argues, “This book has never really been about learning to do impossible deeds. It’s always been about us—all of us—doing impossible deeds. Its our future that is on the line.”

  • You can also use the old Rise of Superman chapters you already read for Essay 3: Chapters 1-4, 6, 7, and 9

In your introduction:

  • Briefly summarize how Kotler defines “flow state” in your own words. (No quotations please.)
  • Explain why Kotler thinks understanding flow states in extreme sports are important for everyone, even non-athletes.

In your thesis (last sentence of introduction):

Choose two of Plato’s ideas from the Allegory of the Cave in The Republic and explain whether you think the experiences of extreme sport athletes in flow states support or reject those ideas.

Possible 3 thesis types:

  1. A thesis where you argue the athletes might support one Plato idea but reject another one.
  2. A thesis where you argue the athletes support both Plato ideas
  3. A thesis where you argue the athletes reject both Plato ideas.

Possible Plato arguments to consider for your thesis (make sure to avoid plagiarism of Dr Kwa’s wording):

  • The world of the senses is not a reliable source of universal truths.
  • The only way to discover universal truths is through logic / the intellect rather than the senses.
  • As a person who is expert at using the intellect to discover universal truths, a philosopher is the person most qualified in any community to be its highest governing leader or king.
  • The logical ability to reason is innate and cannot be learned through education.
  • Not all people have the ability or deserve to become part of the ruling class of philosopher kings since some people lack the innate ability to reason.
  • Universal truths exist; these are ideas, which are true all the time regardless of time, history, context, or point of view.
  • It is painful to be the trailblazer who travels between the world of the senses (inside cave) and the world of universal truths (outside the cave), but it is worth the discomfort because of what one can do to benefit others in society.
  • The highest level of human achievement or the greatest good / meaningful experience one can have in life is to perceive universal truths through the intellect.
  • Universal truths show philosophers the Good in the world as a unifying, orderly, beautiful, and purposeful force that is very similar to what many people of various religions call “God.”
  • Another Platonic idea from the “Allegory of the Cave” not on this list.

In your two body paragraphs, make sure to

  • Support your thesis by providing quotations from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave from The Republic.
  • Support your thesis by providing quotations from Kotler’s Rise of Superman.
  • Make sure to follow up all quotations with a 4-5 sentence explanation of how they support your topic sentence claim.
  • Each body paragraph should discussion one idea that supports the thesis; in other words, body paragraphs should not repeat ideas from previous paragraphs and should not contain more than one main idea.

ORGANIZATION TIPS

1) Thesis formation: The thesis should subdivide into the same number of points as your total number of body paragraphs. If you have two body paragraphs, your thesis would subdivide into two points. Thesis needs to be the last sentence of your introduction. The thesis should fully answer the essay question. It should also be specific, concise, and arguable.

2) Body Paragraph Organization and Unity: Limit to two body paragraphs. Each body paragraph should discussion one idea that supports the thesis; in other words, body paragraphs should not repeat ideas from previous paragraphs and should not contain more than one main idea.

3) Topic Sentences: Each body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence that tells the reader which thesis idea that paragraph will be about.

4) Concluding Sentences: Each body paragraph should end with a concluding sentence that restates topic sentence main ideas and adds supportive reasoning. The goal is to summarize the main examples you covered in that body paragraph.

5) Quotations: You will need to support any assertions you make with a discussion of quotations from the texts assigned. All quotations should have an introductory phrase and should use the following MLA format: Kotler writes, “XX” (24).

6) Quotation Analysis: All quotations should be followed by 4-5 or more sentences that provide a detailed explanation of how the quotation supports your body paragraph’s main idea.

7) Title: Divided into two parts separated by a colon. Centered. Double-spaced like your heading and the rest of your paper. Capitalize all key words. Should be a fragment. Not underlined or in boldface. No period at the end of the title. Your title should not just copy the title of this essay prompt or the title of the readings. Example:

Essay Topic: Your Two Thesis Ideas

8) Conclusion: A place for you to summarize your thesis and add any last reflections on your topic. Should be no longer than half of a page.

9) Essay formatting: Use MLA format. For help, see Purdue University OWL website and click on the MLA section.

10) Number of Paragraphs: In order to pass, your essay must have an introduction that ends in a thesis statement, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

management analysis target

Introduction: Introduce the firm, it’s background and recent history. Do not provide too many unnecessary details about the company’s history, etc. Provide some summary of the firm’s financial performance over the past five years and how that performance compares to its competition. That performance should include gross and net profit margin and stock price and how all three compare to key competitors in the industry. From this and more qualitative data, evaluate your general sense of how the firm is performing. This should take approximately two pages with any graphs or tables you create placed in the appendix.

SWOT Analysis Conduct a high-level SWOT analysis of the firm, based on information that is not more than a year old. At this stage a solid but not extensive analysis is expected. Your SWOT analysis should take up about two pages and should provide more than a thumbnail sketch in a table.

Problem statement: Combine the most critical points from the Introduction and SWOT analysis to define a problem statement. The problem statement should summarize the essence of what the firm is facing as a critical issue or issues. Clearly indicate the specific points from your SWOT analysis that lead to this problem statement. Be pragmatic in your identification of a critical problem statement with due consideration to data availability. Do not just state profitability, growth or survivability as the critical problem because its not specific enough. Argue why the selected problem is critical in terms of its impact on profitability, growth or survivability. This should take about one page.
