Introduction
Welcome to Creative Action in International Organisations, a core module on MSc International Business and Entrepreneurship programme and an elective module on other relevant programmes. The module explores and contrasts the meaning and nature of creativity in entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial organisations through the examination of relevant theories, concepts and models. The roles and capabilities of creative leaders and managers are further explored.
The practices and processes of creative action in organisations are compared across different international contexts. The key factors inhibiting and enhancing entrepreneurial practices and behaviours are studied and examined in the field. Practical solutions for improving individual and organisational entrepreneurial and creative practices and processes and mechanisms for their implementation are identified. Finally, the entrepreneurial manager or leader as reflective practitioner is explored and related to modes of entrepreneurial learning.
The underpinning theme throughout this module is that individuals aspiring to become or already engaged in the management of organisations are likely to be required to understand and adopt entrepreneurial practices and solutions to the problems and challenges that they face in today’s competitive and dynamic environment. To survive and succeed organisations also need to demonstrate and enact entrepreneurial b.

At the conclusion of the project, each student will submit his or her own individual reflection for Part 5, on the same day that the group project is due.
Here is a more detailed breakdown of each of the parts:
Part 1: Identify the problem that management needs to solve. What priority decision needs to be made? Make sure you describe the nature of the problem and why it is important; i.e., what impact will this decision have on the organization and other stakeholders?
Part 2: Perform some analyses to help you determine what factors are important for management to consider in making this decision:
a. SWOT analysis
b. NPEST analysis
c. Porter’s 5-Force Analysis
d. Stakeholder analysis
For each of these analyses, present the analyses (use a table or lists if this helps to make the information more clear). Then, write a brief paragraph after each analysis summarizing the highlights of that analysis that you think are most relevant to this decision. You will need more information about this particular industry or about environmental factors, so you will have to do some research. You will need at least 5 (five) sources (Wikipedia and the Dictionary do not count as sources.)
Part 3: Based on your analyses, identify 3 (three) possible decisions you might make. In other words, what are three reasonable alternatives that management might choose to pursue to help solve this problem? (Don’t forget to consult Chapter 7 as you consider strategic options.)
For each of these three options, identify what you perceive to be the pros and cons of pursuing that particular alternative. Use the information you discovered in your analyses and course concepts to guide you, and try to list as many as you can think of. Resist the urge to make a decision too soon!!! Try to remain objective as you consider each alternative.
Part 4: Make a decision and create an action plan for 1 ( ...

Introduction
Welcome to Creative Action in International Organisations, a core module on MSc International Business and Entrepreneurship programme and an elective module on other relevant programmes. The module explores and contrasts the meaning and nature of creativity in entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial organisations through the examination of relevant theories, concepts and models. The roles and capabilities of creative leaders and managers are further explored.
The practices and processes of creative action in organisations are compared across different international contexts. The key factors inhibiting and enhancing entrepreneurial practices and behaviours are studied and examined in the field. Practical solutions for improving individual and organisational entrepreneurial and creative practices and processes and mechanisms for their implementation are identified. Finally, the entrepreneurial manager or leader as reflective practitioner is explored and related to modes of entrepreneurial learning.
The underpinning theme throughout this module is that individuals aspiring to become or already engaged in the management of organisations are likely to be required to understand and adopt entrepreneurial practices and solutions to the problems and challenges that they face in today’s competitive and dynamic environment. To survive and succeed organisations also need to demonstrate and enact entrepreneurial b.

At the conclusion of the project, each student will submit his or her own individual reflection for Part 5, on the same day that the group project is due.
Here is a more detailed breakdown of each of the parts:
Part 1: Identify the problem that management needs to solve. What priority decision needs to be made? Make sure you describe the nature of the problem and why it is important; i.e., what impact will this decision have on the organization and other stakeholders?
Part 2: Perform some analyses to help you determine what factors are important for management to consider in making this decision:
a. SWOT analysis
b. NPEST analysis
c. Porter’s 5-Force Analysis
d. Stakeholder analysis
For each of these analyses, present the analyses (use a table or lists if this helps to make the information more clear). Then, write a brief paragraph after each analysis summarizing the highlights of that analysis that you think are most relevant to this decision. You will need more information about this particular industry or about environmental factors, so you will have to do some research. You will need at least 5 (five) sources (Wikipedia and the Dictionary do not count as sources.)
Part 3: Based on your analyses, identify 3 (three) possible decisions you might make. In other words, what are three reasonable alternatives that management might choose to pursue to help solve this problem? (Don’t forget to consult Chapter 7 as you consider strategic options.)
For each of these three options, identify what you perceive to be the pros and cons of pursuing that particular alternative. Use the information you discovered in your analyses and course concepts to guide you, and try to list as many as you can think of. Resist the urge to make a decision too soon!!! Try to remain objective as you consider each alternative.
Part 4: Make a decision and create an action plan for 1 ( ...

Understanding Culture
Food, Faith, & Culture
Dr. Fred Foy Strang
For this exercise you are conducting anthropological “field research” through participation,
participant observation, and data recording. This is a simple foray into the field so it does not
include a formal literature review or establishment of hypotheses. Our task is simply to
experience and reflect upon a ‘hands-on’ opportunity for actual observation, data recording, and
preliminary analysis.
Food is an important part of everyone’s culture. Food is also connected to religious
observance and spiritual ritual for many different faiths, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. The role of food in cultural practices and religious beliefs is
complex and varies among individuals and communities.
Focus on the Issue (Food, Faith, & Culture)
• To examine local and non-indigenous cultural influences reflected at various at public
eateries?
• To discover where these distinctives find convergence or how local culture is
reflected in the eatery/food.
• To observe social dynamics and cultural practices in public eateries and postulate
connections to local culture and/or religion.
Focus on Observation
What are the surroundings? What are people wearing? What language(s)/dialect(s) is/are
spoken? What customs are observed? Who is involved in these customs? What do you
notice about the participants (workers/owners/customers).
Focus on Interaction
Who is serving you? What do you observe about their work? Are their other people
involved in the establishment? What are their roles? You are encouraged to engage in ‘non-
directive interviewing’ on the topic of food and its relationship to culture & religion. (This is
simply getting a responder to talk and converse about a certain subject as opposed to
‘directive interviewing’ which asks specific questions or utilizes surveys.)
Focus on Participation
Place an order for something to eat. How is the food you ordered and will eat related to the
cultural influences you are observing? How do you pay for your food and recognize the
service you received?
Focus on Analysis
(This will be a minimum of 4 double spaced pages and a maximum of 7).
Document your research in a formal report format. Include in your analysis preliminary
answers to the initial issues. Finally, postulate a relationship between food, culture and faith.
What questions require further research? What kind of research might that be?

One major technological advancement I think will affect profiling practices in the future is CGT (Criminal Geographic Targeting). CGT is a computerized geographic profiling technique used in police investigations of complex serial crimes (Rossmo, 1995). A criminal analysis technique that uses the locations of a connected series of crime sites to determine the most probable area of the offender's residence. According to Rossmo, geography plays an important role in the offender's selection of suitable victims, which is why this program will be important in the future. The CGT produces a map showing specific details, for example, patrol saturation, grid and area searches, police information and record systems, outside agency databases, and zip code prioritization. This process includes investigation reports, witness statements, autopsy reports, and psychological profiles (1995). In addition, a detailed examination of a crime scene, interviews with lead investigators, crime analysts, and demographic data (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).
The computer revolution has arrived in our world and is becoming the next major advance in our arsenal of weapons against crime. The computer revolution has dramatically influenced the criminal justice system and is used to track crimes and criminals. The future of computerized monitoring, for example, is that of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which uses a tracking system called the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). In addition, computerized profiling may soon help law enforcement personnel define efficiently the types of personalities associated with violent crimes such as murder, rape, and serial murder (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).

STUDENT REPLY #2 Shaquanta Frazier
I think the technology advancements in criminal profiling in the future and I do believe that GPS and Drones will be more effective in the future because with GPS it can give the location of the suspect, it helps with high-speed chases, and it even help the law enforcement where the victim was last seen through their cellphones tower and GPS systems. GIS systems help with keeping track of police vehicles and give the department their location at any time. Drones give more adapt process of the suspect and it can help you cover more area to help in locating the suspect, give you more details of crime and help in finding evidence that law enforcement missed during their first investigation. Drones can reach harder places and can be beneficial to the crime scene.

The Christianity Religion
Christianity is the largest religion in the world. It involves a large number of people globally who adhere to it. The religion has a number of customs and tenets that have to do with dying, bereavement, rites of grieving, burial and cremation. One of the most active areas of inquiry worldwide has been attempting to comprehend how different religions view death. This subject is significant since everyone must undergo death at some point in their lives. Students that are studying religion and culture will find this information useful. Additionally, this information will be extremely helpful to anyone who is interested in Christianity or, more specifically, death.
Christians consider that a person's physical existence begins at birth and ends at death. They have a steadfast conviction that there is only one journey through this world, and it ends in death. Christians believe that each person only experiences death once during their lifetime and that it can happen to anyone at any time. Anyone can die, regardless of their age or gender; in other words, whether you're young or old, male or female, you must pass away. They hold the view that God, their heavenly and spiritual father, decides who lives and who dies as well as planning everyone's death (Vail III & Soenke 2018). They refer to death as God's will, which they are obligated to accept despite their heart desires. They believe there is life after death. They hold the view that after passing away, the souls of the deceased begin a new existence.
Undoubtedly, one of the most frequently discussed subjects in literature is death. Themes like pain and grief, love, perseverance, illness, and immortality are frequently depicted in combination with death and are hence closely tied to it. Death typically has themes of pain and grief, particularly when it affects persons who were close to the departed. Mourning stems from suffering and grief (Vail III & Soenke 2018). Mourning is the sentiment of sadness for another person's passing. Christians believe that after a death, the bereaved person's immediate family should get together and grieve with them. They view it as something that has an impact on society as a whole. They pray for God to comfort the family members during the period of grieving. They also give God, who they believe is in charge of the departed, the soul of the individual who has passed away.
Once an individual has passed away a ceremony is carried out to celebrate the life of the deceased person, a funeral ceremony. Some of the ceremonies are held publicly or privately depending on the choice of the family members. During the ceremony, they share about the person’s life and bury their body. After the funeral ceremony, the body is either buried or cremated. Burring involves covering the body underground while cremation involves burning the body into ashes. Death is a stage.

Part 1 Major Events DocumentationScenario You visit a retail.docx
Part 1: Major Events Documentation
Scenario: You visit a retail establishment, shop around, and finally carry several products to one of the point of sale (POS) terminals distributed openly around the store. You produce a credit card, the salesclerk processes the transaction, bags your goods, and hands you the receipt. On your way to the exit, a store employee asks to see your receipt and checks the contents of the store bag. Document each of the major events just described and explain them in terms of the PCI compliance standard. Include this report in your assignment.
Part 2: PCI Compliance
This part of the assignment will cover PCI. Please refer to the attached file in your responses.
Respond to and address the following in essay style:
1. Suppose HGA’s mainframe, depicted in Figure B-1, stored cardholder data in the private databases. What steps should be taken to protect that data in order to be PCI compliant?
2. HGA’s mainframe has network connectivity. Assuming that cardholder data is transmitted across these networks, describe how data should be protected in transmission.
3. Users are located at various sites connected to the HGA network. Suggest appropriate access controls to restrict unauthorized users from looking at cardholder data.
4. The PCI specification notes that all systems and network devices connected to a system that stores, transmits, or processes cardholder data is in scope and must comply with PCI specifications. To avoid having the whole network subject to PCI specifications, how would you segment the network to reduce the scope of compliance?
Assignment Requirements:
Submit your assignment in the usual double-spaced APA-styled report. At least four pages of material are expected beyond the title page, table of contents, abstract, and references page.
· Answers contain sufficient information to adequately answer the questions
· No spelling errors

This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
