Chapter 3
This chapter goes more about the work that was offered, where Morovia is, because it leaves you with the doubt of where this socialist country, that is located in the south of Italy. There is also talk of the contract that is being offered to Mr. T, which is a two-year contract and payments are ready to be delivered if he accepts. This contract specifies things that you have to do in your work. in other words are your terms and conditions that you have to complete.
He begins to see that they have good engineers and are well trained and it seems all excellent, because he believed that they did not have the engineers for this project. but what they explain to him is that morovia has a good education. Despite being a third-world post-Communist country, their people have many skills. to which they answer «The Communist world did some things badly and some things well. What it did badly was to make the centrally planned markets work so goods and services could find their way to where they were needed. What it did well was education». English-language skills are important so everyone knows how to write, read and speak in English.
With this they want to show that their engineers with the ability to develop the 6 projects they have for these two years. What they really want to do for projects is to experience how their workers would behave under certain circumstances. This puts him in doubt as to how he will solve all this, since he will not need everyone. for this they tell him that «You have got all of Morovia to play with». This would be «The world’s first Project Management Laboratory»
Chapter 4
This chapter is named the CD-ROM plant, in this chapter Lahksa gives Mr. T a small book, which is a personal book from him, he is still surprised by how she works, why she achieves many things, one of them was Get your last name. Lahksa wants him to apply what he has learned in these years. Something very important that has been mentioned to us from the beginning are: get the rigth people, match them to the rigth jobs, keep them motivated and help their teams to jell and stay jelled. All the rest is administrativia.
«We’ll need a pressing plant for CD-ROMs. Attached to the rear of the plant will be the packaging facility, shrink-wrapping,manual insertion, loading docks, and so on. As you can see,». Pensaron que por tener los CD-ROM esto no iba a marchar como ellos lo esperaban. ya que toda la operacion cae en las manos de Mr. T. El no sabia cuanto tiempo podia durar este proyecto, por lo que el decia que iba a durar semanas, pero no esfecificaba cuantas semanas y llego a un acuerdo de 10 semanas para poder completarlo.
«He supposed he had achieved sufficient prominence in the field so that there would be a little capsule about him at the time of his death, published perhaps in IEEE Software or in the Annals of the History of Computing».
It is important to know about the IEEE software, the mission is to build the community of leading and future software practitioners. The magazine delivers reliable, useful, leading-edge software development information to keep engineers and managers abreast of rapid technology change. The authority on translating software theory into practice, the magazine positions itself between pure research and pure practice, transferring ideas, methods, and experiences among researchers and engineers. We can find more about IEEE software here.
The Annals of the History of Computing is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by the IEEE Computer Society that covers the history of computing, computer science, and computer hardware. We can find more about The annals of the History of Computing here.
Chapter 5
This chapter is named NNL, this chapter talks more about who is the national noble leader, and what are his aspirations. It all starts when Mr. T has an appointment with the NNL, he was nervous because he didn’t know what this could be about. When he arrived at the place of his appointment, the guards asked who he was, he introduces himself and they let him pass, once inside this building a person shows up with him and tells him to accompany him to take him with the NNL.
After a moment of waiting, the NNL shows up and they start chatting, but I didn’t know what this was about. The talk begins to flow and little by little they begin to know each other a little better. They get coke and some small cupcakes, apparently it is what the NNL likes the most. After the talk Mr. T, asks how he came was that he came to the power of Morovia, and the NNL confesses that he bought Morovia, because he was tired of always denying his ideas, saying that he would not be able to. This leads him to want to be like a tyrant and buy this country. The NNL was previously in the software industry, but the negativity of people made it do this.
