II. ACTIVITY ANALYSIS 

You are employed as a network consultant at Network Design Consultants. Your company
consists of 15 consultants who assist all types of organizations withissues involving network planning,
design, installation, and troubleshooting. Thecompany works on national and international projects,
depending on the currentlyactive pool of clients. 
Your present assignment is to help a small advertising firm, HarrisonandAssociates, to consider
its options for designing a network. There are eight people
37
in the firm: seven advertising consultants and one office coordinator. Eachpersonhas a
computer at her or his desk, and every computer has a printer. HarrisonandAssociates
represents a classic small-office situation. 

Activity Analysis 1-1: A Preliminary Design Step
