What are the barriers to the complete implementation of private industrial networks?

 The barriers to the complete implementation of private industrial networks are:-

  • One barrier is that participating firms are required to share sensitive data with their business partners up and down the supply chain. This is a huge corporate mindset change because what was previously considered proprietary and secret must now be shared. Furthermore, in the digital environment, it can be difficult to control the limits of this information sharing. Information that a firm willingly gives to its largest customer may wind up being shared with its closest competitor.
  • Other barriers include difficulties in integrating private industrial networks into existing ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems and EDI (electronic data interchange) networks. Most ERP systems were not designed initially to work with extranets or even to be particularly Internet compliant; they were based on business models that use entirely internal business processes.
  • Furthermore, changes in corporate culture and attitudes organization-wide and among all employees are essential so that shifting of allegiances occurs from the firm to the wider trans-organizational enterprise. This is difficult to achieve. Employees must recognize that the firm’s fate is intertwined with that of their suppliers and distributors. 
  • Suppliers, in turn, must change how they manage and allocate resources because their own production is closely aligned with the demands of the private industrial network partners. A loss of independence among all participants in the supply and distribution chains occurs and this requires huge behavioral changes in individual organizations in order for their participation to reap the benefits of participation.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?
