Subject: InfoTech in a Global EconomySupporting Policy Making Policy-making in the twenty-first century has become a complex process due to the rapidly changing environment characterized by the copious data. Although policy intervention can be a costly and challenging process, contemporary technology can assist in improving the quality of decision-making. Computational power, social media, and the enormous amount of data available provide numerous opportunities for policy-makers in different fields to develop accurate strategies through various simulation methods and modelling approaches to create substantial value in different areas of the society including business and politics. In an increasingly competitive world, simulation models are essential tools for analyzing complex data from diverse sources. There are several types of simulation models which work differently; therefore, helping policymakers in different sectors make informed decisions. They include social, computational, and systems modelling. Social simulation modelling focuses on analyzing data from the social sciences, including psychology, law, and organizational behavior. In essence, the approach aims to support human reasoning through the help of a computer (Janssen, Wimmer, & Deljoo, 2015). On the other hand, computational simulation methods analyze digital information from computers using algorithms and equations to capture trends in behavior. More often, computational simulation is applied in physics, economics, healthcare, and engineering (Groesser & Jovy, 2016). Meanwhile, systems simulation modelling helps policymakers to study complex variables from real-world interactions. The information is processed through a comprehensive study of numeric data, which displays complex relationships within a system (Janssen et al., 2015). The three simulation models assist policymakers from different sectors to make an informed decision using accurate data studied and analyzed by computers. In hindsight, technology has assisted policymakers in making accurate decisions regarding business, politics, and even social behavior using analyzed data. In addition, the application of the three simulation models may be applied in both small scale and large scale. To that end, which simulation model best applies to assist policymakers in improving a struggling economy?Please incorporate more open ended questions in the discussion to challenge your peers and to add a little more value to the discussion forumDiscussion topic need to be written in 500 - 700 words with APA format.

Question 1Suppose you are explaining the concept of prototyping to your manager to persuade her to approve the prototype approach to a proposed system that you are working on. Her response to your explanation is that “prototyping is a waste of time and money”. As a systems analyst, how could you respond to her?Question 22. A systems analyst junior in my organization just took a course in the Agile development. He liked the new approach and he really wanted to know how to decide which approach to follow for Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). He was debating whether it is better to use Waterfall or Agile for big projects. His thinking was that Agile should be used for big projects with non-sequential product development and for projects that are often prone to change in requirements and cost. Is he right?Question 33. ABC Inc. wants to build a new web site to sell their “clearance” products and they are planning to publish a proposed website site designed to obtain feedback from "potential customers". The question is whether ABC Inc. should use a prototype to obtain feedback from "potential customers” about the proposed website. There are four available prototypes: patched-up, nonoperational, first-of-a-series, and selected features. What type of prototype is appropriate for ABC Inc. in this case? Explain why each type would apply (or would not apply) to this problem.Question 4Key distribution schemes using an access control center and/or a key distribution center have central points vulnerable to attack. Discuss the security implications of such centralization.Question 5What methods/facilities are available to secure data in today's systems? Have these methods proved to be adequate? If not, what changes would you recommend making these methods more secure?Question 6You are asked to design a security system for a company to ensure data protection according to the CIA triad. Discuss how you would go about beginning such an assignment and then explain what your final design should accomplish. Keep in mind cost as an issue.Please, let each question have a reference
