Core competencies are particular strengths relative to other organizations in the industry, which provide the fundamental basis for the provision of added value. Core competencies reflect the collective learning of an organization and involve coordinating diverse production skills and integrating multiple streams of technologies. It includes communication, involvement, and a deep commitment to working across organizational boundaries, such as improving cross-functional teams within an organization to address boundaries and to overcome them. Few companies are likely to build world leadership in more than five or six fundamental competencies.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
The document discusses business strategy concepts including business level strategy, corporate strategy, core competencies, distinctive competencies, and competitive advantage. It provides definitions and examples of each concept. The key points are:
1) Business level strategy outlines how a company delivers value to customers while gaining a competitive advantage. Corporate strategy encompasses actions to achieve objectives and advantages.
2) Core competencies are unique skills that provide benefits to customers, can be applied across markets, and are hard to replicate. Distinctive competencies provide the basis for competitive advantage through strengths like technology or customer satisfaction.
3) Developing core and distinctive competencies through strategies like differentiation, pricing, segmentation, and product range allows companies to create

The document discusses Porter's three generic strategies of cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. It describes how cost leadership can be achieved through high asset turnover, low operating costs, and supply chain control. Examples provided are Air Deccan and Tata Nano. Differentiation is achieved through unique product features that customers perceive as worth a premium price. Examples include Hero Honda and Apple. Focus strategy targets a niche market segment through either low costs or differentiation tailored to that segment's needs, like BMW targeting a luxury niche.
Operational Controllership
The document discusses a roundtable discussion between PwC and senior executives from several leading global companies on the topic of operational controllership. Operational controllership is evolving from a focus on technical accounting and financial reporting to taking on more strategic roles in driving simplification, standardization, cost savings and revenue growth. This evolution presents opportunities to better leverage operational controllers' skills across functions, but also challenges in organizational structure, culture and career paths. Key points discussed include the varying definitions and organizational structures of operational controllership functions; the cultural challenges of changing focus; and the importance of the CFO's role in overseeing the function.

Writing Assignment 3
In this assignment, you must select a topic, condition, or problem related to ‘water, sanitation, and hygiene’ or climate change that you consider to be a global health priority. This priority needs to be specific rather than a general concept such as ‘climate change.’
After describing the issue and justifying why it is a priority, design a health intervention to address the issue. The intervention must include at least two components: an educational component (e.g. dealing with beliefs and behavior); and an infrastructure or policy component (for example new construction, policy to limit emissions, etc.). For each component, state what you would do as well, why and how your intervention would have an effect, and how you would measure success (e.g. increasing handwashing rates).
You are encouraged to use visuals to help explain your intervention or to provide examples of your interventions. If you use images from the internet, please provide the website where you found the image.
Make sure that you address the ‘who, what, where, when, and why’ issues in both your justification as well as your proposed intervention. For example, do you focus on areas that lack access to adequate sanitation versus places where the quality of services may be an issue? Do you focus on areas that are at highest risk of climate change impacts, or areas that contribute the most to greenhouse gases? Do you focus on urban or rural areas? For the educational component, do you provide ads on tv, billboards, or in schools? Do you focus on adults, teenagers, or children? Do you propose policy at the global or national level?
You must include at least one unique source for each section of the proposal (justification, education/behavior, infrastructure/policy). You may use the same author or institution for each section (such as the World Health Organization), but the documents must be unique for each part. Please make sure that you identify the source of any information you use by using in-text citations (e.g. the WHO (2016) states…), and well as identifying any direct quotations with quotation marks (“”).
Topic:
Justification: (approximately 200 words)
Educational / Behavioral Component: (approximately 300-400 words)
Infrastructure / Policy Component: (approximately 300-400 words)

Ten Best Practices for Restructuringthe Organization RONALD .docx
Ten Best Practices for Restructuring
the Organization RONALD J. RECARDOAND KLEIGH HEATHER
Business leaders who have been involved in any as-
pect of a restructuring understand the difficulty of
crafting a successful solution. Experience gleaned
from more than 50 successful restructuring projects
and interviews with corporate executives point to
10 best practices that organizational leaders can use
to accelerate the restructuring process and ensure
that it meets its objectives: start with executive spon-
sorship; tie strategy to design; use a structured ap-
proach; keep business process work simple; collect
data and use it; consider the various options; be
aware of trade-offs; keep the focus on people; avoid
declaring victory prematurely; and get an early han-
dle on the IT systems. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals,
Inc.
The process—some might say bogeyman or
phenomenon—of organizational restructuring has
been called many different names over the years,
ranging from organization design and rightsizing to
business transformation and downsizing. Any busi-
ness leader with gray hair and a large number of
reports probably has, at one time or another, dealt
with the task of changing the number of boxes and
the names in those boxes on their organizations'
structure charts. Aside from the emotional turmoil
that a restructuring can generate, the process itself
can be difficult because:
• Very few of the curriculums in leading business
schools today have a course on restructuring.
Business leaders almost always lack a framework,
methodology, and toolkit for organizational de-
sign, or even a conceptual understanding of it.
• The vast majority of books written on restructur-
ing have a conceptual rather than an application-
oriented focus. The authors often are academics
with little practitioner experience. No matter how
interesting, the information they present typically
is communicated through some type of model
rather than a detailed methodology and support-
ing toolkit. This can be frustrating to readers who
do not understand what to do and how to do it
when they get back to their offices.
Interviews with corporate executives, research on
successful and unsuccessful restructuring initia-
tives, and experience with more than 50 successful
projects reveal 10 best practices for restructuring or-
ganizations.
Start With Top Sponsorship
Successfully restructuring an organization will al-
most always fail without strong executive sponsor-
ship from a variety of players, including:
• Senior management. This means, at a minimum,
the leader of the organization being restructured,
his or her boss and all additional upward lev-
els within the hierarchy and those who poten-
tially will be leading the new organization once
it is rolled out (often referred to as Level 1
managers—that is, all those who report to the
senior-most leader).
• Leaders of other internal organizations (same
company) or external third-party service
providers who supply or require service.
Assignment on Strategic Management
This document discusses key concepts for strategic management including key success factors, competitive advantage, core competencies, profit margin, leadership, types of power, and cost efficiency. Key success factors refer to the elements required for an organization to meet its goals. Competitive advantage allows a company to outperform competitors through attributes like resources, quality, or pricing. Core competencies are skills that distinguish a firm and contribute significantly to customer benefits. Cost efficiency relates monetary inputs like spending to desired outcomes like increased sales.

Organizing For Total Quality Management
This document discusses organizing for total quality management using a systems approach. It emphasizes that quality must be a pervasive attitude throughout the entire organization, supported by an infrastructure to set goals and implement action plans. Key elements include identifying activities critical to customer value in the value chain, prioritizing these "load-bearing" activities, and integrating functions both horizontally and vertically. Employee involvement through cross-functional teams is seen as critical for motivation, productivity and facilitating quality improvement.
tui Ora Pres
The document discusses the HR business partner model proposed by David Ulrich in 1997. The model redefined the roles of HR professionals to focus on strategic planning and adding business value by supporting organizational goals, recruiting and developing employees, rather than administrative tasks. An HR business partner works closely with senior leadership and the board to ensure HR policies support business objectives. The model requires strong communication skills from HR professionals to advocate for people-focused policies and decisions.

Strategic mangement
Strategic management involves developing integrated and coordinated commitments and actions to gain a competitive advantage. It requires firms to successfully compete in the globalized world. The strategic management process involves all the decisions and actions needed for a firm to achieve strategic competitiveness and above-average returns. Technological changes are occurring rapidly, shortening product life cycles and requiring firms to quickly introduce innovative goods and services. Strategic flexibility allows firms to respond to uncertainties and opportunities in a dynamic competitive environment through developing capabilities across their operations. The resource-based model of above-average returns posits that a firm's unique resources and capabilities form the basis for its strategy and ability to earn above-average returns. These include physical, human, and organizational capital as
Success and failure in organization design
The document discusses common mistakes made when reorganizing a company's structure. It identifies seven key mistakes: 1) not defining what the reorganization aims to achieve, 2) structuring around specific personnel rather than business needs, 3) revealing redesign details prematurely, compromising engagement, 4) failing to establish a formal change management and communications plan, 5) rushing implementation without proper planning, 6) not addressing cultural impacts, and 7) lacking post-implementation evaluation. The document stresses the importance of clear goals, separating structure from personnel, confidentiality, communication, thorough planning, culture, and evaluation.
deloitte-high-impact-hr-operating-model
The document outlines a new High-Impact HR Operating Model that aims to position HR to play a more strategic role in driving business performance. The model moves HR away from just service delivery and toward advising business leaders, driving culture and talent strategies. It emphasizes coordination within HR and between HR and the business. Key components of the model include business HR resources embedded in business units, communities of expertise providing guidance, and operational services handling transactions. The roles and interactions between these components are designed to make HR more nimble and connected to business priorities and the external environment. Implementing this new model requires changes to HR roles, competencies, technology, and mindsets within both HR and the business.

This document discusses establishing skills supremacy as a strategy for sustaining competitive advantage. It suggests that companies build a sizable skills inventory that can be reskilled quickly to achieve growth objectives. Having only one competitive factor like technology or design is not a sustainable long-term strategy, as seen with companies like Blackberry and Nokia. The document reviews literature supporting the link between workforce skills and organizational performance, finding that higher skilled employees increase productivity and qualifications serve as a proxy for skills. It proposes that developing a skills-centric culture and translating skills dominance into market dominance can help companies achieve long-run market leadership.The_how_of_transformation_20160503 FINAL
The document discusses how most transformation programs in consumer goods and retail fail due to common pitfalls like lack of employee engagement and accountability. It argues that successful transformations require not just determining initiatives ("what to do") but establishing a "performance infrastructure" to ensure execution and sustainability ("how to do it"). This infrastructure includes appointing a chief transformation officer to lead a transformation office that governs progress, implementing regular meetings to track progress, and using common tools to measure results. The article provides an example of a consumer products company that was able to significantly improve its financial performance through establishing such a performance infrastructure to oversee its transformation efforts.

CHAPTER 2
BUILDING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH
INTEGRATED TALENT MANAGEMENT
Marcia J. Avedon, Gillian Scholes
The business world is more dynamic today than ever before with an
accelerating pace of new technologies, increasing globalization of markets
and competition, changing regulatory requirements, and increasingly
commonplace mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. In this tumultuous
environment, organizations must continually renew their organizational
capability to achieve competitive advantage. However, it is increasingly
challenging to find the talent needed to compete in this dynamic business
environment.
The availability of educated, working-age talent is shrinking in many of
the world’s labor markets (Zolli, 2007). Multinational companies are
moving work to developing lower-cost countries, only to find the talent
wars and wages subsequently escalating in those countries (Qihan &
Denmat, 2006). Skilled leaders and other professionals, with the
capabilities to enter new markets, create new business models, and
innovate new technologies, are highly sought after (Michaels, Handfield-
Jones, & Axelrod, 2001). Consequently, the demand for talent is
outstripping the supply. As a result, top performers in key talent pools
typically have multiple employment opportunities at any point in time. In
addition, senior leaders, including CEOs, are in their jobs for shorter
periods of time (Lucier, Kocourek, & Habbel, 2006), and employees
generally no longer expect lifetime employment with one company.
Leadership and employee development, through experience and
education, still takes considerable time and effort and will never be a
quick fix. This set of complex, changing business and talent realities
creates the imperative for companies to focus on talent in a strategic,
systemic, and customized manner.
The ability for a firm to create an integrated system that yields a continual
flow of talent ready to address specific strategic and operational
opportunities may be the single-most enduring competitive advantage.
While organizations often find that their strategies, products, services, or
markets require change, the need to have relevant, differentiated talent to
achieve these business goals remains constant. However, the specific
talent strategies need to adapt accordingly. Several recent surveys of both
chief executive officers and chief human resource officers confirm that
attracting, developing, and retaining talent is a top concern (Donlon,
2007; HR Policy Association, 2007). One CEO identified the point well
(Donlon, 2007): “We are the most highly regulated industry in the world,
and we have the most compliance issues in the world. So, those are risks,
but our single biggest issue is human capital. We are losing it really fast
and that is really scary.”
This chapter provides definitions, models, and examples for creating a
dynamic, customized, and integrated talent management system. We do

Cap gemini business process transformation to deliver world class outcomes
Global enterprises face challenges in ensuring consistent best practices and execution across borders due to differences in culture, regulations, and resources. Business process transformation is often needed to maintain competitive advantages. Choosing a transformation partner with a proven methodology, best practices library, and industry experience can help drive successful transformation. The partner's methodology should assess processes, technology, locations, skills, and pricing to optimize operations and deliver world-class outcomes through a controlled implementation.
Why HR Matters Working Copy - Presented in 2009
This document discusses the importance of strategic human resources (HR) for organizational success. It outlines how effective HR alignment with business goals can boost financial performance, innovation, and sustainability. The presentation covers steps to create an HR framework, including strategic planning, execution, and measurement. Case studies show how misaligned or reduced HR hurt companies, while strategic HR improved growth and market value. The key message is that a strategic HR architecture linking human capital objectives to business objectives is a competitive advantage and business differentiator.

EXECUTING STRATEGY
Strategy execution
Is operations-driven, involving management of both people and business processes
Is a job for the whole management team, not just a few senior managers
Can take many more years to develop as a real proficiency than implementing strategy
Requires a determined commitment to change, action, and performance

A FRAMEWORK FOR EXECUTING STRATEGY
Committing to executing a strategy:
Entails figuring out the specific techniques, actions, and behaviors necessary for a smooth strategy-supportive operation
Following through to get things done and deliver results
Making things happen (leadership) and making them happen right (management)
© McGraw-Hill Education.
Core Concept (1 of 5)
Good strategy execution requires a team effort. All managers have strategy-executing responsibility in their areas of authority, and all employees are active participants in the strategy execution process.

Strategic Management Principle (1 of 11)
When strategies fail, it is often because of poor execution. Strategy execution is therefore a critical managerial endeavor.
The two best signs of good strategy execution are whether a company is meeting or beating its performance targets and whether they are performing value chain activities in a manner that is conducive to companywide operating excellence.

Security Program Objectives: Protect the company and its assets. Manage Risks by Identifying assets, discovering threats and estimating the risk. Objects are- Information Classification, Security Organization, and Security Education.
Security Management Responsibilities: Determining objectives, scope, policies,re expected to be accomplished from a security program. Evaluate business objectives, security risks, user productivity, and functionality requirements.
Approaches to Build a Security Program
Security Controls
Security Controls can be classified into three categories- Administrative Controls, Technical or Logical Controls ,Physical Controls.
The Elements of Security
Vulnerability: Vulnerability characterizes the absence or weakness of a safeguard that could be exploited.
Threat: Any potential danger to information or systems. A threat is a possibility that someone (person, s/w) would identify and exploit the vulnerability.
Risk: Risk is the likelihood of a threat agent taking advantage of vulnerability and the corresponding business impact. Reducing vulnerability and/or threat reduces the risk.
Exposure: An exposure is an instance of being exposed to losses from a threat agent. Vulnerability exposes an organization to possible damages.
Countermeasure or Safeguard: It is an application or a s/w configuration or h/w or a procedure that mitigates the risk.
The Relation Between the Security Elements Example: If a company has antivirus software but does not keep the virus signatures up-to-date, this is vulnerability. The company is vulnerable to virus attacks. The likelihood of a virus showing up in the environment and causing damage is the risk.

Determine the valuation of long-term liabilities- Donald Lennon is the.docx
Determine the valuation of long-term liabilities.
Donald Lennon is the president, founder, and majority owner of Wichita Medical Corporation, an emerging medical technology products company. Wichita is in dire need of additional capital to keep operating and to bring several promising products to final development, testing, and production. Donald, as owner of 51% of the outstanding stock, manages the company\'s operations. He places heavy emphasis on research and development and long-term growth. The other principal stockholder is Nina Friendly who, as a nonemployee investor, owns 40% of the stock. Nina would like to deemphasize the R&D functions and emphasize the marketing function to maximize short–run sales and profits from existing products. She believes this strategy would raise the market price of Wichita\'s stock.
All of Donald\'s personal capital and borrowing power is tied up in his 51% stock ownership. He knows that any offering of additional shares of stock will dilute his controlling interest because he won\'t be able to participate in such an issuance. But, Nina has money and would likely buy enough shares to gain control of Wichita. She then would dictate the company\'s future direction, even if it meant replacing Donald as president and CEO.
The company already has considerable debt. Raising additional debt will be costly, will adversely affect Wichita\'s credit rating, and will increase the company\'s reported losses due to the growth in interest expense. Nina and the other minority stockholders express opposition to the assumption of additional debt, fearing the company will be pushed to the brink of bankruptcy. Wanting to maintain his control and to preserve the direction of “his†company, Donald is doing everything to avoid a stock issuance and is contemplating a large issuance of bonds, even if it means the bonds are issued with a high effective–interest rate.
Instructions
Answer the following questions.
Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
What are the ethical issues in this case?
What would you do if you were Donald?
Solution
a)Donald and nina are the stakeholders in this situation .
b)Ethical issue involved in this case is to Raise additional funds by issue of stock or to raise additonal debts to meet fund requirement.
If funds are raised through issue of stock ,Donald stock ownership will be diluted and when bonds are issued ,it will be costlier to a company to raise additional funds.
c) Donald can either go for BOOTSTRAPPING where funds are raised by investing the retained earnings of a company and finding a means within a company.
Also Donald can also suggest Right issue of shares where shares are offered to existing shareholders at concessional price (lower than market) so that his ownership is not diluted.

Writing Assignment 3
In this assignment, you must select a topic, condition, or problem related to ‘water, sanitation, and hygiene’ or climate change that you consider to be a global health priority. This priority needs to be specific rather than a general concept such as ‘climate change.’
After describing the issue and justifying why it is a priority, design a health intervention to address the issue. The intervention must include at least two components: an educational component (e.g. dealing with beliefs and behavior); and an infrastructure or policy component (for example new construction, policy to limit emissions, etc.). For each component, state what you would do as well, why and how your intervention would have an effect, and how you would measure success (e.g. increasing handwashing rates).
You are encouraged to use visuals to help explain your intervention or to provide examples of your interventions. If you use images from the internet, please provide the website where you found the image.
Make sure that you address the ‘who, what, where, when, and why’ issues in both your justification as well as your proposed intervention. For example, do you focus on areas that lack access to adequate sanitation versus places where the quality of services may be an issue? Do you focus on areas that are at highest risk of climate change impacts, or areas that contribute the most to greenhouse gases? Do you focus on urban or rural areas? For the educational component, do you provide ads on tv, billboards, or in schools? Do you focus on adults, teenagers, or children? Do you propose policy at the global or national level?
You must include at least one unique source for each section of the proposal (justification, education/behavior, infrastructure/policy). You may use the same author or institution for each section (such as the World Health Organization), but the documents must be unique for each part. Please make sure that you identify the source of any information you use by using in-text citations (e.g. the WHO (2016) states…), and well as identifying any direct quotations with quotation marks (“”).
Topic:
Justification: (approximately 200 words)
Educational / Behavioral Component: (approximately 300-400 words)
Infrastructure / Policy Component: (approximately 300-400 words)

Ten Best Practices for Restructuringthe Organization RONALD .docx
Ten Best Practices for Restructuring
the Organization RONALD J. RECARDOAND KLEIGH HEATHER
Business leaders who have been involved in any as-
pect of a restructuring understand the difficulty of
crafting a successful solution. Experience gleaned
from more than 50 successful restructuring projects
and interviews with corporate executives point to
10 best practices that organizational leaders can use
to accelerate the restructuring process and ensure
that it meets its objectives: start with executive spon-
sorship; tie strategy to design; use a structured ap-
proach; keep business process work simple; collect
data and use it; consider the various options; be
aware of trade-offs; keep the focus on people; avoid
declaring victory prematurely; and get an early han-
dle on the IT systems. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals,
Inc.
The process—some might say bogeyman or
phenomenon—of organizational restructuring has
been called many different names over the years,
ranging from organization design and rightsizing to
business transformation and downsizing. Any busi-
ness leader with gray hair and a large number of
reports probably has, at one time or another, dealt
with the task of changing the number of boxes and
the names in those boxes on their organizations'
structure charts. Aside from the emotional turmoil
that a restructuring can generate, the process itself
can be difficult because:
• Very few of the curriculums in leading business
schools today have a course on restructuring.
Business leaders almost always lack a framework,
methodology, and toolkit for organizational de-
sign, or even a conceptual understanding of it.
• The vast majority of books written on restructur-
ing have a conceptual rather than an application-
oriented focus. The authors often are academics
with little practitioner experience. No matter how
interesting, the information they present typically
is communicated through some type of model
rather than a detailed methodology and support-
ing toolkit. This can be frustrating to readers who
do not understand what to do and how to do it
when they get back to their offices.
Interviews with corporate executives, research on
successful and unsuccessful restructuring initia-
tives, and experience with more than 50 successful
projects reveal 10 best practices for restructuring or-
ganizations.
Start With Top Sponsorship
Successfully restructuring an organization will al-
most always fail without strong executive sponsor-
ship from a variety of players, including:
• Senior management. This means, at a minimum,
the leader of the organization being restructured,
his or her boss and all additional upward lev-
els within the hierarchy and those who poten-
tially will be leading the new organization once
it is rolled out (often referred to as Level 1
managers—that is, all those who report to the
senior-most leader).
• Leaders of other internal organizations (same
company) or external third-party service
providers who supply or require service.
Assignment on Strategic Management
This document discusses key concepts for strategic management including key success factors, competitive advantage, core competencies, profit margin, leadership, types of power, and cost efficiency. Key success factors refer to the elements required for an organization to meet its goals. Competitive advantage allows a company to outperform competitors through attributes like resources, quality, or pricing. Core competencies are skills that distinguish a firm and contribute significantly to customer benefits. Cost efficiency relates monetary inputs like spending to desired outcomes like increased sales.

Organizing For Total Quality Management
This document discusses organizing for total quality management using a systems approach. It emphasizes that quality must be a pervasive attitude throughout the entire organization, supported by an infrastructure to set goals and implement action plans. Key elements include identifying activities critical to customer value in the value chain, prioritizing these "load-bearing" activities, and integrating functions both horizontally and vertically. Employee involvement through cross-functional teams is seen as critical for motivation, productivity and facilitating quality improvement.
tui Ora Pres
The document discusses the HR business partner model proposed by David Ulrich in 1997. The model redefined the roles of HR professionals to focus on strategic planning and adding business value by supporting organizational goals, recruiting and developing employees, rather than administrative tasks. An HR business partner works closely with senior leadership and the board to ensure HR policies support business objectives. The model requires strong communication skills from HR professionals to advocate for people-focused policies and decisions.

Strategic mangement
Strategic management involves developing integrated and coordinated commitments and actions to gain a competitive advantage. It requires firms to successfully compete in the globalized world. The strategic management process involves all the decisions and actions needed for a firm to achieve strategic competitiveness and above-average returns. Technological changes are occurring rapidly, shortening product life cycles and requiring firms to quickly introduce innovative goods and services. Strategic flexibility allows firms to respond to uncertainties and opportunities in a dynamic competitive environment through developing capabilities across their operations. The resource-based model of above-average returns posits that a firm's unique resources and capabilities form the basis for its strategy and ability to earn above-average returns. These include physical, human, and organizational capital as

deloitte-high-impact-hr-operating-model
The document outlines a new High-Impact HR Operating Model that aims to position HR to play a more strategic role in driving business performance. The model moves HR away from just service delivery and toward advising business leaders, driving culture and talent strategies. It emphasizes coordination within HR and between HR and the business. Key components of the model include business HR resources embedded in business units, communities of expertise providing guidance, and operational services handling transactions. The roles and interactions between these components are designed to make HR more nimble and connected to business priorities and the external environment. Implementing this new model requires changes to HR roles, competencies, technology, and mindsets within both HR and the business.

This document discusses establishing skills supremacy as a strategy for sustaining competitive advantage. It suggests that companies build a sizable skills inventory that can be reskilled quickly to achieve growth objectives. Having only one competitive factor like technology or design is not a sustainable long-term strategy, as seen with companies like Blackberry and Nokia. The document reviews literature supporting the link between workforce skills and organizational performance, finding that higher skilled employees increase productivity and qualifications serve as a proxy for skills. It proposes that developing a skills-centric culture and translating skills dominance into market dominance can help companies achieve long-run market leadership.The_how_of_transformation_20160503 FINAL
The document discusses how most transformation programs in consumer goods and retail fail due to common pitfalls like lack of employee engagement and accountability. It argues that successful transformations require not just determining initiatives ("what to do") but establishing a "performance infrastructure" to ensure execution and sustainability ("how to do it"). This infrastructure includes appointing a chief transformation officer to lead a transformation office that governs progress, implementing regular meetings to track progress, and using common tools to measure results. The article provides an example of a consumer products company that was able to significantly improve its financial performance through establishing such a performance infrastructure to oversee its transformation efforts.

CHAPTER 2
BUILDING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH
INTEGRATED TALENT MANAGEMENT
Marcia J. Avedon, Gillian Scholes
The business world is more dynamic today than ever before with an
accelerating pace of new technologies, increasing globalization of markets
and competition, changing regulatory requirements, and increasingly
commonplace mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. In this tumultuous
environment, organizations must continually renew their organizational
capability to achieve competitive advantage. However, it is increasingly
challenging to find the talent needed to compete in this dynamic business
environment.
The availability of educated, working-age talent is shrinking in many of
the world’s labor markets (Zolli, 2007). Multinational companies are
moving work to developing lower-cost countries, only to find the talent
wars and wages subsequently escalating in those countries (Qihan &
Denmat, 2006). Skilled leaders and other professionals, with the
capabilities to enter new markets, create new business models, and
innovate new technologies, are highly sought after (Michaels, Handfield-
Jones, & Axelrod, 2001). Consequently, the demand for talent is
outstripping the supply. As a result, top performers in key talent pools
typically have multiple employment opportunities at any point in time. In
addition, senior leaders, including CEOs, are in their jobs for shorter
periods of time (Lucier, Kocourek, & Habbel, 2006), and employees
generally no longer expect lifetime employment with one company.
Leadership and employee development, through experience and
education, still takes considerable time and effort and will never be a
quick fix. This set of complex, changing business and talent realities
creates the imperative for companies to focus on talent in a strategic,
systemic, and customized manner.
The ability for a firm to create an integrated system that yields a continual
flow of talent ready to address specific strategic and operational
opportunities may be the single-most enduring competitive advantage.
While organizations often find that their strategies, products, services, or
markets require change, the need to have relevant, differentiated talent to
achieve these business goals remains constant. However, the specific
talent strategies need to adapt accordingly. Several recent surveys of both
chief executive officers and chief human resource officers confirm that
attracting, developing, and retaining talent is a top concern (Donlon,
2007; HR Policy Association, 2007). One CEO identified the point well
(Donlon, 2007): “We are the most highly regulated industry in the world,
and we have the most compliance issues in the world. So, those are risks,
but our single biggest issue is human capital. We are losing it really fast
and that is really scary.”
This chapter provides definitions, models, and examples for creating a
dynamic, customized, and integrated talent management system. We do

Cap gemini business process transformation to deliver world class outcomes
Global enterprises face challenges in ensuring consistent best practices and execution across borders due to differences in culture, regulations, and resources. Business process transformation is often needed to maintain competitive advantages.

Strategic Management Principle (1 of 11)
When strategies fail, it is often because of poor execution. Strategy execution is therefore a critical managerial endeavor.
The two best signs of good strategy execution are whether a company is meeting or beating its performance targets and whether they are performing value chain activities in a manner that is conducive to companywide operating excellence.

Describe three of the following attack types in the Operation Security.docx
Describe three of the following attack types in the Operation Security domain: man-in-the-middle, mail bombing, war-dialing, ping-of-death, teardrop, and slamming-and-cramming
Solution
The description of the attack types in the operation security domain is given below:
1) man-in-the-middle: In this type of attack, the intruder insert himself or insert any malicious code between the secure communication of two parties. This malicious code act as an third party, and its get the secure information that is being transfer between the two parties. Its third person or the intruder having access to the information send by both the parties involve in the communication.
2) mail bombing : Its refer to attack in which intruder try to send bulk of mails to the person\'s system, which may cause to disk full on persons system or even can crash the server, which is handling the mails. In this type of attack, the main aim is to crash the user\'s machine by fulling the disk space or can crash or stop the mail server.
3) War dialing: In this type of attack, hacker\'s uses the modem\'s to dial the range of numbers, for finding the computer machiner, servers and other devices. and after dialing they also get access to these type of devices.
4) Ping to death : Its a type of attack, in which the hacker send the incorrect ping packet to the user. There are various computer system which are designed not to handle the incorrect ping packets. Which results into system crash or system going into the abnormal state.
5) teardrop: Its a type of attack, in which the hacker sends the packets in incorrect way or in the fragmented way, that the end user is not able to reassemble these packets at their end, and results into the system crash and denial of service at user\'s end.
6)slamming-and-cramming: slamming refers to the activity in which hacker, switches the long distance calll carrier at user\'s phone, without its permission, its results into heavy bill at customer end. Cramming refers to the attack in which some extra bill is added into user\'s actual phone bill, and its keep on happening again and again

Describes the concept of ADTS and illustrates the concept with three o.docx
Describes the concept of ADTS and illustrates the concept with three of the most common abstract data types.
Solution
An abstract data type is a set of values, some of which may be distinguished as constants, together with a collection of operations involving members of the set.The primary objective is to seperate the implementation of the abstract data types from their function.The program must know what the operations do.
List,stack and queues are three fundamental data structures.When you declare a variable in a .NET application, it allocates some chunk of memory in the RAM. This memory has three things: the name of the variable, the data type of the variable, and the value of the variable.Depending on the data type, your variable is allocated that type of memory. There are two types of memory allocation: stack memory and heap memory
Stack memory stores data types like int , double , Boolean etc. While heap stores data types like string and objects.Stack is used for static memory allocation and Heap for dynamic memory allocation, both stored in the computer\'s RAM .Variables allocated on the stack are stored directly to the memory and access to this memory is very fast.When a function or a method calls another function which in turns calls another function etc., the execution of all those functions remains suspended until the very last function returns its value. The stack is always reserved in a LIFO order.Variables allocated on the heap have their memory allocated at run time and accessing this memory is a bit slower, but the heap size is only limited by the size of virtual memory . Element of the heap have no dependencies with each other and can always be accessed randomly at any time. You can allocate a block at any time and free it at any time. This makes it much more complex to keep track of which parts of the heap are allocated or free at any given time.
The Queue works like FIFO system , a first-in, first-out collection of Objects. Objects stored in a Queue are inserted at one end and removed from the other. The Queue provide additional insertion, extraction, and inspection operations. We can Enqueue (add) items in Queue and we can Dequeue (remove from Queue ) or we can Peek (that is we will get the reference of first item ) item from Queue. Queue accepts null reference as a valid value and allows duplicate elements.
A list is a collection of items that can be accessed by index and provides functionality to search, sort and manipulate list items. This can store any data types to create a list.The List class can be used to create any type including a class. In this article, we will see how to create a list of a class with several properties.

Describe, manage, and install Active Directory replication, federation services, and certificate services. Demonstrate the ability to plan an advanced AD, DHCP, and DNS solution. Describe and plan for configuring a domain and forest as well as configuring trusts. Use technology and information resources to research issues in advanced network infrastructure environments. Write clearly and concisely about advanced network infrastructure topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
Solution
Active directory replication
Replication is the process by which the changes that are made on one domain controller are synchronized with all other domain controllers in the domain or forest that store copies of the same information. Active Directory replication uses a connection topology that is created automatically, which makes optimal use of beneficial network connections and frees the administrators from having to make such decisions.
Manage and install active directory replication
Active Directory relies on site configuration in sequence to manage and optimize the process of replication. Active Directory make available automatic configuration of these settings in some cases as well as configure site-related information for network using Active Directory Sites and Services. Configurable information includes settings for site links, site link bridges, and bridgehead servers.
Federation service:
Active Directory Federation Services (AD Federation Services) is a feature of the Windows Server operating system. It uses a claims-based access-control authorization model to maintain application security and to implement federated identity and aims to reduce the complexity around password management and guest account provisioning. AD Federation Services builds upon this functionality to authenticate users on third-party systems.
Certificate service
Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) provides customizable services for issuing and managing public key certificates used in software security systems that employ public key technologies. AD CS include Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), secure wireless networks, virtual private networks (VPN), Internet Protocol security (IPsec), Encrypting File System (EFS), smart card logon, Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) and digital signatures.

Describe the process to start and restart apache on CENTOS command lin.docx
Describe the process to start and restart apache on CENTOS command line. Also describe how to have apache start automatically when the server is rebooted.
Solution
In order to stop or restart the Apache HTTP Server, you must send a signal to the running httpd processes. There are two ways to send the signals. First, you can use the unix kill command to directly send signals to the processes. You will notice many httpd executables running on your system, but you should not send signals to any of them except the parent, whose pid is in the PidFile.
Start: Starting httpd using the apachectl control script sets the environmental variables in /etc/sysconfig/httpd and starts httpd. You can also set the environment variables using the init script.
You can also start httpd using /sbin/service httpd start. This starts httpd but does not set the environment variables. If you are using the default Listen directive in httpd.conf, which is port 80, you will need to have root privileges to start the apache server.
Restart:
Signal: HUP
apachectl -k restart
Sending the HUP or restart signal to the parent causes it to kill off its children like in TERM, but the parent doesn\'t exit. It re-reads its configuration files, and re-opens any log files. Then it spawns a new set of children and continues serving hits.
If you want your server to continue running after a system reboot, you should add a call to apachectl to your system startup files (typically rc.local or a file in an rc.N directory). This will start Apache as root. Before doing this ensure that your server is properly configured for security and access restrictions.
The apachectl script is designed to act like a standard SysV init script; it can take the arguments start, restart, and stop and translate them into the appropriate signals to httpd. So you can often simply link apachectl into the appropriate init directory. But be sure to check the exact requirements of your system.

Describe- in your own words- the mechanism for establishing a HTTPS co.docx
Describe, in your own words, the mechanism for establishing a HTTPS connection.
Solution
HTTPS consists of communication over HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) with an encrypted layer such as Transport Layer Security (TSL) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
The connection between Client and Server using HTTPS is established by a handshake process which has 3 main phases namely Hello, Certificate exchange and key exchange.
a) Hello-
This is the first phase where the client sends a message ClientHello which contains all the necessary information such as various cipher suites, SSL version number etc. for the server to connect to the client via SSL. Then the server responds with a ServerHello message which contains similar information for client.
b) Certificate Exchange –
Once the contact is established between the Server and the Client, the server has to prove its identity to the client using its SSL certificate. The SSL certificate contains various information such as name of the owner, the domain it is attached to, the certificate’s public key, certificate’s validity dates etc. The client then verifies the certificate whether it is a trusted certificate or it is verified and trusted by one of several Certificate Authorities (CAs) which client trusts.
c) Key Exchange –
In this phase the exchange of encryption key is happened by the client and server using a symmetric algorithm which was already agreed during the Hello phase. The client generates a random key for the symmetric algorithm. It then encrypts the key using an algorithm (which was also agreed upon during the Hello phase) and the server’s public key from the SSL certificate. Client then sends this encrypted key to the server, where it is decrypted using the server’s private key.
Once the client and server have verified each over’s identity and have secretly agreed on a key to symmetrically encrypt the data that they are about to send each other, then the HTTP requests and responses can start flowing form one party to other in the form of a plaintext message with encryption. The other party using the key decrypt is while reading.

Describe the four categories of international airports in the federal.docx
Describe the four categories of international airports in the federal classification of international airports.
Solution
Commercial Service Airports are publicly owned airports that have at least 2,500 passenger boardings each calendar year and receive scheduled passenger service. Passenger boardings refer to revenue passenger boardings on an aircraft in service in air commerce whether or not in scheduled service. The definition also includes passengers who continue on an aircraft in international flight that stops at an airport in any of the 50 States for a non-traffic purpose, such as refueling or aircraft maintenance rather than passenger activity. Passenger boardings at airports that receive scheduled passenger service are also referred to as Enplanements. Nonprimary Commercial Service Airports are Commercial Service Airports that have at least 2,500 and no more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. Primary Airports are Commercial Service Airports that have more than 10,000 passenger boardings each year. Hub categories for Primary Airports are defined as a percentage of total passenger boardings within the United States in the most current calendar year ending before the start of the current fiscal year. For example, calendar year 2014 data are used for fiscal year 2016 since the fiscal year began 9 months after the end of that calendar year. The table above depicts the formulae used for the definition of airport categories based on statutory provisions cited within the table, including Hub Type described in 49 USC 47102. Cargo Service Airports are airports that, in addition to any other air transportation services that may be available, are served by aircraft providing air transportation of only cargo with a total annual landed weight of more than 100 million pounds. \"Landed weight\" means the weight of aircraft transporting only cargo in intrastate, interstate, and foreign air transportation. An airport may be both a commercial service and a cargo service airport. Reliever Airports are airports designated by the FAA to relieve congestion at Commercial Service Airports and to provide improved general aviation access to the overall community. These may be publicly or privately-owned. General Aviation Airports are public-use airports that do not have scheduled service or have less than 2,500 annual passenger boardings (49 USC 47102(8)). Approximately 88 percent of airports included in the NPIAS are general aviation.

Describe the major types of VPNs and technologies- protocols- and serv.docx
Describe the major types of VPNs and technologies, protocols, and services used to deploy VPNs. Also describe the business benefits of VPNs.
Solution
A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that creates an encrypted connection over a less secure network. The benefit of using a VPN is that it ensures the appropriate level of security to the connected systems when the underlying network infrastructure alone cannot provide it. The justification for using a VPN instead of a private network usually boils down to cost and feasibility: It is either not feasible to have a private network (e.g., for a traveling sales rep) or it is too costly to do so. The most common types of VPNs are remote-access VPNs and site-to-site VPNs
A remote-access VPN uses a public telecommunication infrastructure like the Internet to provide remote users secure access to their organization\'s network. A VPN client on the remote user\'s computer or mobile device connects to a VPN gateway on the organization\'s network, which typically requires the device to authenticate its identity, then creates a network link back to the device that allows it to reach internal network resources (e.g., file servers, printers, intranets) as though it was on that network locally. A remote-access VPN usually relies on either IPsec or SSL to secure the connection, although SSL VPNs are often focused on supplying secure access to a single application rather than to the whole internal network. Some VPNs provide Layer 2access to the target network; these require a tunneling protocol like PPTP or L2TP running across the base IPsec connection.
A site-to-site VPN uses a gateway device to connect the entire network in one location to the network in another, usually a small branch connecting to a data center. End-node devices in the remote location do not need VPN clients because the gateway handles the connection. Most site-to-site VPNs connecting over the Internet use IPsec. It is also common to use carrier MPLS clouds rather than the public Internet as the transport for site VPNs. Here, too, it is possible to have either Layer 3 connectivity (MPLS IP VPN) or Layer 2 (Virtual Private LAN Service, or VPLS) running across the base transport.
VPNs can also be defined between specific computers, typically servers in separate data centers, when security requirements for their exchanges exceed what the enterprise network can deliver. Increasingly, enterprises also use VPNs in either remote-access mode or site-to-site mode to connect (or connect to) resources in a public infrastructure as a service environment. Newer hybrid-access scenarios put the VPN gateway itself in the cloud, with a secure link from the cloud service provider into the internal network.

Describe the different metrics that BGP can use in building a routing.docx
Describe the different metrics that BGP can use in building a routing table
Solution
The metrics used by BGP in building a routing table are
1) Weight — weight is the first criterion used by the router and it is set locally on the user’s router. The Weight is not passed to the following router updates. In case there are multiple paths to a certain IP address, BGP always selects the path with the highest weight. The weight parameter can be set either through neighbor command, route maps or via the AS-path access list.
2) Local Preference — this criterion indicates which route has local preference and BGP selects the one with the highest preference. Local Preference default is 100.
3) Network or Aggregate — this criterion chooses the path that was originated locally via an aggregate or a network, as the aggregation of certain routes in one is quite effective and helps to save a lot of space on the network.
4) Shortest AS_PATH — this criterion is used by BGP only in case it detects two similar paths with nearly the same local preference, weight and locally originated or aggregate addresses.
5) Lowest origin type — this criterion assigns higher preference to Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) and lower preference to Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).
6) Lowest multi-exit discriminator (MED) — this criterion, representing the external metric of a route, gives preference to the lower MED value.
7) eBGP over iBGP — just like the “Lowest origin type†criterion, this criterion prefers eBGP rather than iBGP.
8) Lowest IGP metric — this criterion selects the path with the lowest IGP metric to the BGP next hop.
9) Multiple paths — this criterion serves as indication whether multiple routes need to be installed in the routing table.
10) External paths — out of several external paths, this criterion selects the first received path.
11) Lowest router ID — this criterion selects the path which connects to the BGP router that has the lowest router ID.
12) Minimum cluster list — in case multiple paths have the same router ID or originator, this criterion selects the path with the minimum length of the cluster list.
13) Lowest neighbor address — this criterion selects the path, which originates from the lowest neighbor address.

Explain what you believe social justice meant to Progressive? ( 1 paragraph
Solution

An ‘ethnic group’ has been defined as a group that regards itself or is regarded by others as a distinct community by virtue of certain characteristics that will help to distinguish the group from the surrounding community. Ethnicity is considered to be shared characteristics such as culture, language, religion, and traditions, which contribute to a person or group’s identity.
Ethnicity has been described as residing in:
• The belief by members of a social group that they are culturally distinctive and different to outsiders;
• Their willingness to find symbolic markers of that difference (food habits, religion, forms of dress, language) and to emphasized their significance
• Their willingness to organize relationships with outsiders so that a kind of ‘group boundary’ is preserved and reproduced
This shows that ethnicity is not necessarily genetic. It also shows how someone might describe themselves by an ethnicity different to their birth identity if they reside for a considerable time in a different area and they decide to adopt the culture, symbols and relationships of their new community.
It is worth noting that the Traveller Community is recognised as a distinct ethnic group in the UK and Northern Ireland, but only as a distinct cultural group in the Republic of Ireland.
Ethnicity is also a preferential term to describe the difference between humans rather than ‘race’. This is because race is a now a discredited term that divided all peoples based on the idea of skin colour and superiority. There is only one ‘race’, the human race as we are essentially genetically identical. For example, there is no French ‘race’ but the French people could be described as a separate ethnic group.

Progressivism is a term commonly applied to a variety of responses to the economic and social problems that arose as a result of urbanization and the rapid industrialization introduced to America in the 19th Century. Progressivism began as a social movement to cope with a variety of social needs and eventually evolved into a reform movement and greater political action. The early progressives rejected Social Darwinism. In other words, they were people who believed that the problems society faced (poverty, poor health, violence, greed, racism, class warfare) could best be addressed by providing good education, a safer environment, an efficient workplace and honest government. Progressives lived mainly in the cities, were college educated, and believed that government could be a tool for change.

Describe the different types of qualitative analysis and indicate whic.docx
Describe the different types of qualitative analysis and indicate which is most persuasive.
Solution
A qualitative analysis or a research is based on the collection and analysis of non-numeric data like words or pictures. Qualitative methods have three distinct dimensions which are as follows:
1. Understanding Concept
2. Understanding People
3. Understanding Interaction
Four major types of qualitative research are:
1. Phenomenology - The analysis of data is done by getting access to individuals life-worlds, which is actually their world of experience. This can be done by conducting in-depth interviews. In this analysis the commonalities across individuals are sought. Once the data is collected it will be analyzed and report will be prepared based on the collected data and understandings.
2. Ethonography - It is a analysis based on the study of a group of people based on their culture. People from same or similar culture share beliefs, customs, rituals, practices and language norms. This will be highly effective in analyzing data qualitatively. The data that are collected in this method of analysis are based on the cultural standards, insider\'s perspective, external and social scentific view.
3. Grounded Theory - Here the analysis is based on the theoretical approach. The major characteristics of grounded theory are Fit, Understanding, Generality and control. Theories provide explanation and they tell us how and why of any situiation.
4. Case Study - In this analysis the various cases are considered and in-depth analysis is performed to study the variations and deviations.
In all the above steps Data coding and analysis takes place. Data Analysis is done in three different steps and they are:
1. Open Coding -Â Â Reading transcripts
2. Axial Coding - Organizing concepts
3. Selective Coding - Focusing on main ideas
Phenomenology is the most pursuasive method of qualitative analysis since the data is sought directly from the individuals. Hence this can be relied upon thoroughly.

Provide an example of a technology that is altering or may alter human evolution.
What are the potential benefits of this type of technology?
What are the potential drawbacks?
What are the moral and ethical implications of neo-evolution?
Should we continue to pursue this form of technology? Why or why not?
Solution
oevolutionism , school of anthropology concerned with long-term culture change and with the similar patterns of development that may be seen in unrelated, widely separated cultures. It arose in the mid-20th century, and it addresses the relation between the long-term changes that are characteristic of human culture in general and the short-term, localized social and ecological adjustments that cause specific cultures to differ from one another as they adapt to their own unique environments. Further, neoevolutionists investigate the ways in which different cultures adapt to similar environments and examine the similarities and differences in the long-term historical trajectories of such groups. Because most neoevolutionists are interested in the environmental and technological adjustments of the groups they study, many are identified with the cultural ecological approach to ethnography, with the culture process approach to archaeology, and with the study of early and protohumans in biological anthropology.
Neoevolutionary anthropological thought emerged in the 1940s, in the work of the American anthropologists Leslie A. White and Julian H. Steward and others. White hypothesized that cultures became more advanced as they became more efficient at harnessing energy and that technology and social organization were both influential in instigating such efficiencies. Steward, inspired by classifying the native cultures of North and South America, focused on the parallel developments of unrelated groups in similar environments; he discussed evolutionary change in terms of what he called “levels of sociocultural integration†and “multilinear evolution,†terms he used to distinguish neoevolution from earlier, unilineal theories of cultural evolution.
In the years since White’s and Steward’s seminal work, neoevolutionary approaches have been variously accepted, challenged, rejected, and revised, and they continue to generate a lively controversy among those interested in long-term cultural and social change.

Describe ip protocol security pros and cons-SolutionIP Protocol Securi.docx
Describe ip protocol security pros and cons.
Solution
IP Protocol Security:
Internet Protocol Security ( IPsec ) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts ( host-to-host ), between a pair of security gateways ( network-to-network ), or between a security gateway and a host ( network-to-host ).
Security architecture:
Pros of IPsec:
·Security at the Network Layer Level - Being based at the network level, this technology is completely invisible in its operation . The end users are never required to learn about it, and neither do they ever directly interact with it. This in itself is an added layer of security for the VPNs running on IPsec.
·No Application Dependence - While SSL-/ SSH-/ PGP-based VPNs are application-dependent, IPsec-based VPNs do not need to worry about application dependence. Since the entire security system is implemented at the network level, there are no application compatibility issues.
Cons of IPsec:
·CPU Overhead - Having to perform encryption and decryption on the hundreds of megabytes of data flowing through the machines requires quite a bit of processing power, and this translates to higher processor loads .
·Compatibility Issues - IPsec is a standardized solution today, and yet, some large software developers may not adhere to it, and may go ahead with standards of their own. As a result, this can lead to compatibility issues .
·Broken Algorithms - Some of the security algorithms that are still being used in IPsec have already been cracked. This poses a huge security risk, especially if the network administrators unknowingly use those algorithms instead of newer, more complex ones that are already available.

Describe in detail a man-in-the-middle attack on the Diffie-Hellman ke.docx
Describe in detail a man-in-the-middle attack on the Diffie-Hellman key-exchange protocol whereby the adversary ends up sharing a key k A with Alice and a different key k B with Bob, and Alice and Bob cannot detect that anything has gone wrong.
What happens if Alice and Bob try to detect the presence of a man-in-the-middle adversary by sending each other (encrypted) questions that only the other party would know how to answer?
Solution
In man-in-the-middle attack, an opponent Eve intercepts Alice\'s public key K A and sends her own public key as K A to Bob. When Bob transmits his public key K B , Eve substitutes it with her own and sends it as K B to Alice. Eve and Alice thus agree on one shared key and Eve and Bob agree on another shared key. After this exchange, Eve simply decrypts any messages sent out by Alice or Bob, and then reads and possibly modifies them before re-encrypting with the appropriate key and transmitting them to the other party. This vulnerability is present because Diffie-Hellman key exchange does not authenticate the participants. The man-in-the-middle attack may be prevented by using digital signatures and other cryptographic schemes.
Bob to encrypt a message so that only Alice will be able to decrypt it, with no prior communication between them other than Bob having trusted knowledge of Alice\'s public key. Alice\'s public key is
g K A mod p, g,p. . To send her a message, Bob chooses a random K B and then sends Alice g K B mod p
together with the message encrypted with ( g K A ) K B mod p symmetric key. Only Alice can determine the symmetric key and hence decrypt the message because only she has K A.

Describe an experiment that disproved the theory of classical mechanic.docx
Describe an experiment that disproved the theory of classical mechanics and led to the discovery of quantum mechanics. What are experiments that validate the wave-particle duality? What is meant by atomic emission spectrum, absorption spectrum, differences?
Solution
Solution:
In 1900,physicist Max Planck presented his quantum theory to the German Physical Society.
planck found that by making the assumption that energy existed in individual units in the same way that matter
does, rather than just as a constant electromagnetic wave as had been formerly assumed and was
therefore quantifiable,
The existence of these units became the first assumption of quantum theory.
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg proposed that precise, simultaneous measurement of two complementary values -
such as the position and momentum of a subatomic particle is impossible.Contrary to the principles of classical
physics, their simultaneous measurement is inescapably flawed.
He said:
the more precisely one value is measured, the more flawed will be the measurement of the other value. This theory
became known as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle .
Experiment that illustrates the wave particle duality :
2)
The characteristic pattern of dark lines or bands that occurs when electromagnetic radiation is passed through an
absorbing medium into a spectroscope. An equivalent pattern occurs as coloured lines or bands in the
emission spectrum of that medium.
A discharge tube is a gas-filled, glass tube with a metal plate at both ends. If a voltage difference is applied
between the two metal plates, the gas atoms inside the tube will absorb enough energy to make some of their
electrons come off, that means, the gas atoms are ionised.
These electrons start moving through the gas and create a current, which raises some electrons in other atoms to
higher energy levels. Then as the electrons in the atoms fall back down, they emit electromagnetic radiation (light).
As we know;
Only certain wavelengths (i.e. colours) of light are seen, though the whole spectrum is known as the emission
spectrum.The amount of light emitted at different wavelengths, called the emission spectrum.
