Core Reading: Week 6 Materials, Textbook Chapter 6, The Smirich and Johnson are very good you would be wise to look at the paper by Grugulis on British Airways – this linked into a tutorial session and there are lots of good examples around on why culture matters and its impact on organisations.
Core Task: What is organisational culture and why does it matter to Strategy? You must address the risk element of culture and the way in which culture can be used to control strategy.
Be critical culture can have positive and negative effects on strategy, some see it as a variable than can be changed and adapted. Do you agree with this?

Homework in Java
Write in Java
Part A: Update the java file names to include your initials at the end, send .java file only.
1. Write in-place heapSort, which takes an array of data, convert it to max heap using bottom-up
algorithm. The expected run time should be O(n), where n is the total number of data.
BubbleDown method is provided. You may test it in this Sort.
2. Write complete code for a MinHeapPriorityQueue method removeThirdMin that efficiently
removes and returns the third minimum element from the data structure. It shouldnt have
more than 3 comparisons to find the third minimum element. Your solution can make use of
the methods bubbleUp, bubbleDown and swapData but must not apply the constructor or
either of the methods add/enqueue and removeMin/dequeue.
For example, if the array contains the following elements:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
It should be changed by removeThirdMin to
1, 2, 6, 4, 5, 7
Extra Credit: Modify quickSort method, to use insertionSort if sub-problem is small. Check with size
4, 8, 16, which give the best runtime?
Part B
1. Show how an initially empty min heap looks like after inserting following elements in the given
order. Draw the min heap and the array.
5, 2, 7, 8, 6, 1, 7
2. Show how a bottom-up min heap construction looks like from the above given values. Draw the
min heap and the array.
3. What is the best-case and worst-case of insertionSort?
4. What is the best-case and worst-case of mergeSort?
5. What is the best-case and worst-case of quickSort?
6. What can we do to lower, if not eliminate completely, the chances of worst-case of quickSort?
Extra Credit:
If we can access the data of a min-heap, how do we find the k-th minimum value efficiently? That
means instead of O(log n), can we speed up to O(log k)?

Respond to following 3 discussion separately on (What is a Geographic Information System (GIS) and how is it related to Transportation Economics? What can GIS do to help transportation economists to save money? What impact might GIS have on future projects in transportation?) Response should be 100 or more and include direct questions.
1. Rodrique, (2017, para 1) defines Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as an information system specializing in the input, management, analysis, and reporting of geographical (spatially related) information. Just like information system GIS enables users to analyze data to understand and make a tangible geographical decision. Sinha and Labi (2007, p.484) posit that GIS enables increasingly precise and comprehensive representation and analysis of natural and human-made land features and activities. That is to say, GIS provides users with the opportunity to manipulate both man-made and natural spatial features to their advantage.
The main concept of economics lies in our search for how to use limited resources to achieve maximum satisfaction. This is not far from the relevance of GIS. According to Rodrique (2017) Geographic Information Systems for Transportation (GIS-T) refer to the principle and applications of geographic information technologies to transportation problems. With the help of GIS-T transportation stakeholders are able to determine the demand for their services in many areas, hence providing the recommended supply. Sinha and Labi (2007, p. 486) argue that GIS used in transportation enables demand predictions; identifying the extent and severity of air, water, noise, and ecological impact violations; land-use, and economic development impacts.
GIS use is eminent in transportation economists decision-making. With the help of GIS transportation, economists will be able to make a profitable investment. GIS will provide the information about the current demand for transportation services and all other spatial factors that will affect the transportation industry, therefore, giving transportation economists the information to make a sound investment decision. Furthermore, GIS can help transportation economists to determine how safe their activity is to the environment. The safeness of their activity can affect their profitability. According to Sinha & Labi (2007, 488) buffer analysis (a type of GIS software) enables transportation industries to determine the impact of the transportation facility or intervention at the proximal areas in terms of performance measures such as travel time, congestion, noise impact, emissions, ecological, cultural, and socioeconomic impact.
GIS will be very beneficial in future projects in the transportation industry. First, information derived from GIS can be useful in visual impact analysis. In determining how effective a project is for both the environment and the users’ information like traffic, pollution, and accessibility will be relevant. Moreover, the search for ways to deliver products as timely as possible can be closer if GIS is enhanced and incorporated in all aspects of transportation industry decision-making. This will be though learning from our current shipping methodology and using GIS software to manipulate the input for the desired output.
2. According to the U.S. Geological Service, a Geographic Information System or GIS is a computer system that can be used to analyze and display geographically reference information (Sexton, 2012). The National Geographic describes it as a computer system that is used to capture, store, check, and display data relating to the earths surface (National Geographic Society, 2012). Basically, it is a mapping software or at least that is about all we used Arc GIS for in college. A GIS system can add or remove layers of a map based on the users needs. These layers can be almost anything from waterways and elevations, to geographic names and roads or boundaries. For example, the National Map has eight layers; transportation networks, structures, Orthoimagery Image data of the earths surface), Land cover, hydrography, geographic names, elevation, and boundaries (Sexton, 2012).
A GIS can be used in the transportation industry to map future industrial areas or other construction projects to see how the surrounding area will be affected. It can be used to plan pipeline routes or other utilities and roads to ensure that the projects are done using a few materials, landscape changes, and shortest route possible. Through the use of a GIS, we can make better decisions about how to plan or change a transportation system and potentially use other models to validate that the new design will be more efficient or better for the environment. The possibilities are almost endless for how a GIS can be integrated.
3. What is a Geographic Information System (GIS) and how is it related to Transportation Economics?
According to Shaw & Rodrigue (n.d.), GIS is an information system specializing in the input, management, analysis, and reporting of geographical information (para. 1). There is a specific GIS that involved transportation issues and that is GIS-T. there are three categories that the GIS-T looks at: data representation, analysis and modeling, and applications. Analysis and modeling are going to
What can GIS do to help transportation economists to save money?
The most important purpose of the GIS is the use of visualization through maps (Paul, 2018). By using the GIS and the maps can help with the more real time data needed to make transport plans to ensure that will make the movement of gear and goods in the most efficient and economical way. With the use of GIS and GPS systems you can get real time data from off-site locations, this also allows for immediate attention if it is granted. The data that is pulled by using the GIS-T helps with analyzing areas and assessing cost estimates for the work that is required or routes that are needed to go from point A to point B. Determining the route, you may be able to save the company money on gas and maintenance for the vehicles.
What impact might GIS have on future projects in transportation?
GIS can be used to manage the maintenance of the highway system. This system helps with the management and ability to benefit from it by not failing costs and increase ease (Paul, 2018). Route planning is a project that can be done by utilizing the GIS. According to Paul (2018), GIS can help transportation planners to integrate agency-wide information to achieve better operational efficiencies and results (para. 12).
