Infrastructure Document
For a company with potential for expansion, the company may be required to integrate their infrastructure to ensure solutions to certain problems are considered. There the company may need to develop infrastructure which contains reliable and effective security protocols. Therefore, to ensure the best network is developed, it means stability, speed and reliability are the major factors that should be considered. On the other hand, the network should be able to ease operations conducted in an organization. In this reference, various aspects like gateways, routers etc should be considered when setting up workstations. (Chou, D., & Sengupta, S. 2008).
There has been the technological advancement and due to this reason technology based infrastructure has been innovated. They have been created and used to partially match the modern world. Cyberspace or the network can be considered to be of much value in terms of information and money. Alternatively, it has lead to extended personal and organizations and reactions. For example, in this case, is that network has become the center of many systems which are used to control and manage infrastructure. I.e. those used in banking, energy delivery etc. therefore networks are the underlying technological that will transform the society on basis of information.
Cyberspace is also very sensitive due to the following failure. Their failure can result due to their complex nature, accident, or hostile intent. Therefore, bad things can happen to the network itself or the infrastructure itself due to this reason when designing a network the design plan needs to consider these aspects. In this regard, bad things can mean delay, damage or disconnect. Their when designing a network the design need to consider this element that may prevent the development of a well-integrated network. These attics are quite common in day to day basis and therefore a network design for a company that is that is expanding should be well implemented to as much as possible to minimize such incidences.
Networks are under threats which are more extensive with respect to the value of infrastructure itself. The design should also consider strategic defense options. Networks are faced with possible disruption and this may have substantive consequences to the economy. Therefore, networks infrastructure should be developed in such a way to prevent potential attackers. For the network to be efficient, it must be highly protected to prevent unauthorized network access. For example, hackers can cause destruction to an organization data. This may affect company productivity. (Radvanovsky, R. S., & McDougall, A. 2009).
Due to the evolution of computer various assumptions have been developed. For example, in this case, is a moder ...

Cloud Computing and Data Security
Introduction
In today's world, the movement of data is from a store that is severe and it is located centrally to the storage of cloud, services in the cloud offer the flexibility, scalability, and concerns that are proportionate that concerns the issue of security. Safety is an aspect that is important and it associated with the computing of cloud because information can be stored on the cloud by the users with the help of providers that works in the service of the cloud. In the security f data and computing of the cloud, there are some problems that are available. They include backups of data that is improper and inadequate that have caused organizations been among those that are vulnerable to threats that re-associated with security measures.
Data that is found in an organization and is stored in files that are encrypted are interfered by these threats. Problem found under these investigations is significant to this study and these show that the threats that emerge because of backups concerning data that is improper lead to an issue that is significant in the security of data in the computing cloud and also security concerning data.
The study tends to shows that security of data and computing of data leads to the provision of ways that helps in the protection of data that is private and also information that is classified away from such threats. That may include attacks in the cyber sector and losses that occur in case of disasters (Strategic Cyber Security, 2011). This study has limitations that state that assurance of security to the computing of cloud is not available and that there is no protection of data that is vital in an organization to a hundred percent.

Abstract
Data integrity, an integral aspect of cyber security, is identified as the consistence and accuracy that is assured of data in its life cycle, and is an imperative aspect of implementation, design, and utilization of systems which processes, stores, and retrieves data (Graham, 2017). It is estimated that almost 90 percent of the world’s data was generated in the last two year, and this goes to show the rate at which data is being availed. There are various threats associated with data integrity, for example, security, human, and transfer errors, cyber-attacks and malware just to name a few. The purpose of examination of data integrity in the context of organizations and business is due to the impact that it has on the latter’s operations and eventual success.
Data integrity is important when it comes to the productivity and operations of an organization, because management make decisions based on real-time data that is offered to them. If the data presented to management is inaccurate due to lack of proper data integrity, then the decisions that they make might have an adverse effect on an organization. For example, if data related to last year’s projections and profits in the finance department is altered in any way, then the decision of making plans in relation to an organization’s financial position might be lead to further losses. Organizations ought to prioritize security measures through there various Information Systems departments or by seeking third party cyber security specialties to protect and mitigate against the threats related to data integrity.
Research Question
What are the threats associated with data integrity and the impact they have on organizational productivity and operati.
Attacks on the enterprise are getting increasingly sophisticated. Current solutions available do not seem to be adequate given the innovativeness, precision and persistence of these attacks in different forms and of different dimensions. Organisations thus want to increase the sophistication of their employees and also of the solutions to be deployed given this backdrop.

Introduction
The security of the world is currently increasing in a simultaneous manner. Many countries all around the world try harder to cater to its citizens despite having huge numbers of citizens. Business is the core factor that gives out people a way to a better life. Organizations have emerged and that they all try as much as possible to be successful, despite having many challenges in the market square. The exchange of goods and services is the main core issue that led to the emergence of business globally. In general terms there are different products that are produced all around the world, researchers have proven that for the business to be rated in a successful level the security status of the business must also be considered. Security generally protects the product and services of the organization. It is very important to keep the security of the of the company high, this is based on the fact that all the product and services produced by the company will be secured from competitors and the ill motive individuals who might want to bring down the business. Employers and employees are the ones who are responsible for keeping the security in an organization to be at a high level.
Background information
In today’s world, everything that is tangible is always stored in a digital form. When the business lacks a form to defend its digital assets generally the business is lost, thus the potential loss of the business will grow bigger every day. (Gupta, Rees, Chaturvedi & Chi, 2006) The need of having legal security in the organization literally existed ever since the introduction of the first computer in the business environment. Recently the paradigm has greatly shifted over the years, nevertheless from the client-server systems and terminal server mainframe systems.
Despite the security system being very important, in many terms it has not always been set aside to be critical in organizational success. With the existence of the mainframe system being in the place, many organizations manage to protect their own systems from the abuse of the resources, for instances having unauthorized user gaining access to the organizational system and also the act of authorized user hogging company’s resources. Such types of abuse were considered to be more damaging based on the fact that the system had a higher cost during the early mainframes days. As time goes by, the technology techniques developed and increased to some level, hence the cost of the systems resources decreases, this issue apparently becomes less important to the business environment. (Gupta, Rees, Chaturvedi & Chi, 2006)The evolving act of having remote access outside the organizational networks was also considered to be non-existence. Furthermore, only the underground community had higher tools and knowledge that is rightfully needed.

Hello, it was interesting to read your post. It is indeed true that honeypots are much expensive than the real security system. There exist several issues with honeypots and most of which make 'it hard for individuals to deal with them. One such issue is individuals' lack of familiarity with them, as you have stated in the post. The main objective of designing and using honeypots is for the attackers to make brute attacks on the system without being noticed by the administration. This is the reason why if a single honeypot gets into the system, it can end up being used to compromise the entire host system, as you have stated in your post. As you have stated in your post, a honeypot is highly relied upon when individuals are considering acquiring valuable intelligence from an organization but one that is still not the most sensitive. Some of the questions which arise with the usage of honeypots in such ventures are whether they can be used by forces to help counter-terrorism. In the age of technology, police are using the internet and its filtering capabilities to identify terrorists and how they conduct recruitment (Sharma & Kaul, 2018).
Discussion 2
Hello, it was interesting to read your post; it was informative. From your research, you have identified the primary objective of honeypot being diversion of assassins so as to extract critical information and data about them by following all the moves they make. This objective does not, however, acknowledge whether there are means of injecting honeypots to the assassins and whether they have measures of protecting their systems against such attempts. Honey pots have been noted to be effective at identifying potential assaults, as you have stated in your post. They are, however, not much effective as attacks still occur in their presence and can only identify a single attack at a time, as you have stated in the post.

Security Risks in Database Migration
As organizations become more reliant on database applications, companies may require to migrate their databases allowing for cheaper running which can then replicated to the consumers with reduced charges. This can be demonstrated with the recent move of Apple Inc.’s iCloud user data to Chinese servers. The move by the company was to reduce the expense of running the severs “inhouse,” however, brought about questions regarding data security for people using smart devices. Nevertheless, data migration can be daunting particularly when the event is unplanned or unwanted (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017). When companies migrate, they experience some risks and challenges as servers are moved from one location to another. Among the first issues is the loss of data or information (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017). In a recent study, it was estimated that this problem accounts for approximately fifty percent of all problems that occur during this process. The outcomes of this problem are viewed as damaging for both businesses and individuals using the services (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017).
Though this problem is common during database migration, it is not the only one, another issue is semantics risk (Malik & Patel, 2016). The term semantic risk is given or used in database security when data or information is imprecisely, or improperly stored resulting in misinterpretations that quickly escalate to adverse outcomes due to computation errors. Therefore, even if the data transfer to the new location was completely efficient some errors may occur when recompiling the data. There are possibilities that information can be unintentionally saved in the wrong location or folder. This can be especially harmful to organizations that deal with numbers or currency such as the various stock exchange organizations globally. In other words, sematic risk can be described as when misunderstanding results in misallocation (Malik & Patel, 2016). This can allow hackers to easily access data that should be properly secured by the various protocols in place. The final security issue with data migration is the risk of incompatibility, though compatibility can be tested, not all the data being sent will be compatible in some cases exemplifying them from security measures thus offering a breach or point of attack (Yunis, Yunus, Nawi, & Surin, 2017).
Overall, data security is important as demonstrated by the recent attacks and breaches that resulted in data leaks of high-profile companies for example Facebook. When migrating data from one server to another as done by Apple Inc. In the example offered, corporate data has to be accessed and for this reason, security cannot be left to chance as the information is both sensitive and critical (K ...
Architecture Framework for Resolution of System Complexity in an EnterpriseIOSR Journals
This document presents an architecture framework for resolving system complexity in an enterprise. It discusses how enterprise architecture can be used to address issues like requirement complexity, organizational complexity, process complexity, and design complexity. The framework breaks down the enterprise information system into subsystems like back-end systems, front-end systems, management tools, and communication systems. It also separates concerns into different architecture layers - an external enterprise model, conceptual enterprise model, front-end systems, back-end systems, and management tools. The framework is intended to provide a structured approach to managing complexity by organizing enterprise data and functions across the different systems and models.
Causes And Consequences Of Data LeakagePatty Buckley
Here are the key points from the case study:
- Pepperdine University has embraced BYOD for many years, allowing students, faculty, and guests to use personal devices on the campus network.
- The university implemented Bradford Networks' Network Sentry solution to provide secure network access for BYOD users while also detecting and responding to security threats.
- Network Sentry integrates with Sourcefire IDS to enable rapid identification and remediation of threats. When threats are detected, Network Sentry can isolate infected devices from the network.
- This approach allows the university to safely support BYOD without restricting access for the majority of devices that are not infected. The focus is on responding to threats rather than restricting devices based

This document discusses cyber security threats and their impact. It provides an overview of some growing cyber risks and how they can threaten the development of the information society. It argues that increased cooperation and information sharing between cyber security groups is needed to effectively address these challenges. Senior executives and governments must play a leading role in overseeing cyber security and minimizing risks through effective IT governance and strategic alignment of security systems. Overall cyber threats are increasing and declining trust in internet users, so concerted efforts are needed from all stakeholders to promote a more secure information environment.
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS .docxmccormicknadine86
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS 2
Maintaining a strong security system in the networking environment to prevent any form of attack and compromise information has been a formidable problem in recent times. There is fairly a small number of operating systems compared to the vast number of computer systems that are in operation. This situation has created a leeway for cyber attackers to target the systems easily (Palmer, 2010). Cyber attackers have formulated diverse techniques to exploit the homogeneity of the network environment. This article will explore the benefits related to diversity and commonality in the event of a malicious attack.
The purpose of any security strategy is to completely eliminate or at least limit the impact of damage to a successful attack on a particular system. At some point, any computer can be vulnerable to malware attacks, and the most important aspect in a case like this is to achieve an optimum level of preparedness. Diversity of the operating systems is beneficial in several ways, though an organization could incur an extra operational cost. Moving some groups of users to various different operating systems helps avert the overall damage caused by the SQL Slammer and MSBlast worms. Malicious-code attacks directed towards the commonly used operating system, windows, have been so rampant, thereby necessitating the need for improved security procedures of the computers (Anderson & Anderson, 2010).
Significant operational damages have been incurred before by businesses and enterprise to extensive downtime, brought about by malware attacks. Adopting diversity in operating systems comes along with several security benefits;
· Helps contain malicious-code attacks- Virus and worm attacks target and exploit the flaws in windows operating systems. In a case like this, availing an alternative operating system would be critical in helping to contain the spread to other PCs owned by the business. The impact of the attack is leveled down since some core business can be carried out in the event of an attack.
· Directing some pressure towards Microsoft- Health competition among service and commodity provider is beneficial for the consumers. Being diversified in terms of operating systems pushes dominant companies like Microsoft to try so hard to meet the security needs of their customers.
· It helps speed up innovations in the sense that other operating system developers will work towards improving their operating systems to match that of the windows. Such innovations include stable security systems that prevent malware from instilling too much damage to the computer system.
Exercising commonality in the usage of operating systems comes with its own benefits, too, especially when dealing with a malicious attack. The business would not incur too much cost, in the event of a ...
Week 1 Answer It is important to understand human beings and t.docxjessiehampson
Week 1 Answer :
It is important to understand human beings and technology interact in all information systems. This is important because when humans understand their interaction with technology, they will embrace its importance and help in managing and controlling their use(Mjolsnes, 2011). In addition to that, this knowledge helps humans to come up with innovative means to make sure that their interaction with technology is profitable to them.
It is important and necessary for businesses to educate their employees on security matters. This is because when employees understand the security of systems, they will avoid behaviors that might risk the safety of their systems (Seigneur, 2009).

In order to create a project plan, there are six steps that need to be taken. First, you reiterate the project scope to ensure everyone understands the justification of the project, its deliverables to the customer and objectives of the project. Next, the group will identify the project milestones, phases, activities and tasks that will be completed during the project. This will also assist in keeping track of the project progress. Then, you will quantify the effort required for each task by breaking down each task and determining how many hours will be needed for dedication to the task. From here, resources will be determined and allocated to support each task needed for the project. After this is complete, development of a project schedule can be initiated. Further analysis of the project will be taken while constructing the schedule to see if any other planning needs to be taken before project execution. Lastly, you will list any planning dependencies, assumptions and constraints for the project. These outline any relationships between tasks within the project as well as detailing requirements that must be met to accomplish certain tasks.
For a quality plan to be created, these four steps must be completed. First, define the quality of the deliverables of the project. With everyone at a complete understanding of the expected quality, they can ensure each activity is maintained at the quality. Next, the group identifies the quality of the deliverables targets during each activity. Then, you can describe the quality assurance and control techniques that need to be taken to ensure quality is being met. Finally, you define the processes required to achieve the specified quality targets during each phase or activity.
A communication plan is a document that outlines the information that needs to be shared and when it needs to be shared among everyone involved with the project. This document details which information needs to be communicated, how it needs to be communicated, how often it is communicated and who is responsible for ensuring it is communicated. It is a pretty neat document and the project team discusses this document before starting any project as to ensure everyone understands what information is required from them at which times.

· Discuss the steps taken when creating a project plan - give examples
· The project plan according to the text is the overall most important document because it will be the drawback point for most of the topics that need to be covered if any type of questions come up during the project. It will highlight time frames, scheduling, points of contact, different phases within the project, who will direct which section and that is to just name a few. This also has a lot to do with the budgeting and it is important to understand .

Business costs or risks of poof data quality:
Poor data quality may lead chiefs to not have the capacity to settle on poor choices or not have the capacity to settle on choices by any stretch of the imagination. Poor data may prompt lost deals and different opportunities, misallocation of assets, defective methodologies, and orders might not be right, inventory levels perhaps incorrect, and clients may wind up noticeably disappointed and headed out. The cost of poor quality data spreads all through the organization influencing frameworks from transportation and accepting to bookkeeping and client administrations. Extra costs are acquired when representatives must set aside opportunity to chase down and correct data errors.
The improvement of information innovation amid the most recent decades has empowered organizations to gather and store enormous measures of data. Nonetheless, as the data volumes increment, so does the multifaceted nature of overseeing them. Since bigger and more unpredictable information assets are being gathered and overseen in organizations today, this implies the danger of poor data quality builds (Watts and Shankaranarayanan, 2009). Another often specified data related issue is that organizations often oversee data at a nearby level (e.g. division or area).
Data mining:
Data mining, likewise called learning disclosure in databases, in software engineering, the way toward finding intriguing and valuable examples and connections in extensive volumes of data. The field consolidates apparatuses from insights and counterfeit consciousness, (for example, neural networks and machine learning) with database administration to examine substantial computerized accumulations, known as data sets. Data mining is broadly utilized as a part of business (protection, saving money, retail), science inquire about (space science, prescription), and government security (location of hoodlums and terrorists).
Text mining:
Text Analytics, otherwise called text mining, is the way toward examining extensive accumulations of composed assets to create new information, and to transform the unstructured text into organized data for use in assist examination. Text mining distinguishes actualities, connections and statements that would somehow stay covered in the mass of textual huge data. These realities are removed and transformed into organized data, for investigation, perception (e.g. by means of html tables, mind maps, graphs), mix with organized data in databases or distribution centers, and further refinement utilizing machine learning (ML) frameworks.

INTRODUCTION
Like all sectors of the economy, e-commerce has also been negatively impacted by the
worldwide economic downturn. While other sectors have seen their growth suddenly
move down in the reverse gear, e-commerce has held its ground well. According to
the latest published e-commerce statistics (US Department of Commerce, 2011),
online spending in 2010 in the United States increased 8.1 percent from that of 2009.
This document discusses how to successfully implement an IT security policy. It begins by defining what an IT security policy is - a written, ever-changing document that explains how an organization will protect its IT assets. It then outlines the importance of such policies for protecting data and controlling access. The document also discusses challenges across the seven domains of IT (user, workstation, LAN, etc.) and how policies can address each domain. It notes some potential barriers to implementation like human factors but emphasizes that successful policies are created, assigned responsibilities, ensure compliance, and are continually maintained. The overall goal is for policies to safeguard organizational data and resources from both internal and external threats.

Posting 1 : user security awareness is the most important element of an organization as we know a single email can result in a multi-million dollar loss through a breach in very short time. that is the primary reason many large organizations have a specific division who deal with the security whose prime task is it identify and prevent security breaches and most interestingly companies like Facebook have one million dollar price reward for ethically breaching their security which helps them identify more ways and prevent them before they occur. speaking of which user security deals with various levels of users as mentioned below.
1. New employees
2. Company executives
3. Traveling Employees
4. IT Employees
5. For all employees
Security awareness should be covered focusing the four above mentioned categories using real-world examples like classroom training, and circulating latest updates in security patches and also articles or suggestions as well as visual examples about security awareness. Training employees by pasting most important security preventions every employee must consider in order to prevent security breach and pasting lastest updates about security measurements in common areas across office space and conduct brainstorm sessions with individual senior staff members to understand their needs and how to apply security awareness across teams.
and second thing is to secure customers who are the core revenue generating people to an organization and its organization's duty to secure customers. The customer is the benefit of any organization. At the present time, where online security turns into an essential, the association must view client's profitable data that movements between the server and the site. By building security culture, the association can spur clients, contractual workers, representatives. A fulfilled client dependably functions as a mouth exposure and will fill in as an advantage of the organization. The association can guarantee their clients that the amount they think about their web assurance. The association ought to likewise distribute a note of wellbeing safety measure on the site for clients while collaborating with the web world.

Security is a key human thought that has ended up being harder to portray and approve in the Information Age. In rough social requests, security was compelled to ensuring the prosperity of the get-together's people and guaranteeing physical resources. As society has grown more mind-boggling, the centrality of sharing and securing the fundamental resource of data has extended. Before the extension of present-day trades, data security was confined to controlling physical access to oral or created correspondences. The essentials of data security drove social requests to make innovative techniques for guaranteeing their data.

Ideation Process
Innovation technology is mainly concerned with the introduction of a new idea into the market. Any basic innovation technology has an ideation process as its basis. Ideation becomes the most basic step. During this stage, a thought is generated. From this thought, an idea is analyzed and provided. The analysis process is done purposefully to determine the feasibility of the implementation of the developed idea. Analysis also establishes the market demand of the idea that has been developed. It determines the possible profit, and this such of an idea would bring to the organization upon its implementation. This explanation will be discussed on the aspect of a new technology known as Internet of Things, which was designed with a main reason of providing internet faculties to all locations on the surface of the earth on each scale.
When an analysis has been completed, what follows afterwards is the aspect of idea implementation. Implementation of the idea is always followed by the testing of the idea (Gubbi et al., 2013). Here, the idea is tested for its validity to be established. The validity here is trying to answer the question of whether the idea is trying to answer the problem that led to its establishment and implementation. Validity also gives the corrections and accuracy on the assessment of the set system. In case the assessment gives the right thing that the set idea was meant to provide, then the idea is valued and worth to be used in the market. If a contrary occurs, then it becomes advisable for the idea to be scripted. Every system needs to pass the validity test for it to be reliable, although some experts argues that not all valid systems are reliable.

Most cases of the idealization process require alternatives to limit any possible risk or loss. Sometimes, it is evident that the innovative idea may bring some critical challenges in the implementation process. Some aspects that should be considered in the process include budget, and other critical resources that are required in the implementation process. For instance, the IoT can be used to supply internet connectivity in case the other alternative fails or vice versa. It is recommended that any form of learning and research should be done to control any possible discrepancies in the IoT technology. Any other technology can be implemented if it depicts the same functionality as the one described by the IoT.
Overview
The IoT refers to ever-growing technology that provides IP addresses to all objects and substances that one may imagine associating with. The assigned objects can promote communication amongst themselves. This technology tries to improve communication among individuals on a large scale by using the internet. The data grouping as well as digitizing the concept of IoT, calls for construction of four c ...
Information Security And The HealthcareTracy Berry
Information security and privacy are important in healthcare to securely share patient information. As healthcare organizations store vast amounts of sensitive data, they must implement robust information security practices. Hospitals in particular house critical healthcare data and tools that patients rely on, so protecting this information from computer viruses or infected devices is essential. Intrusion detection and prevention systems help monitor networks for threats, but healthcare organizations must also raise awareness of security risks and regularly evaluate firewall and router configurations to maintain strong defenses.

Separation in a network is essential, of course. It would be more annoyed with that much knowledgeability and security features if it were only about security. However, it makes this network much more flexible, and in some ways makes it more secure. It reduces the potential for internal and external attacks on the same network and makes it harder for someone to take over the network. Furthermore, this separation keeps our data away from third parties. Separation of access is essential in a network, for example, to ensure that a user cannot access the whole network. It is common for specific applications and software installations on the personal computer to operate in the background. In this regard, it is possible to customize the software operating mode to make the software operation hidden to not be visible to the user. No one server or group of servers is going to have to withstand many other servers. The first line of defense in any IT environment is resource partitioning to enable critical infrastructure to handle all requests without overloading the primary server (Jaeger et al., 2016).
Separation is basically the process of using multiple processes with some type of separation for Process separation of access to objects and data. Separation (or transient segregation) can occur in both physical and logical network segments. The trick with security is to keep it away from the IT infrastructure. For example, a firewall is still strictly considered a technical security tool because it is not supposed to affect business activities. it is possible to separate administrative control, physical systems, and data between those with different roles within the organization. The behavior within the network is like partitioning an IT environment into discrete services, although some elements of this concept have not been adopted in Active Directory–in particular, policies and modules. A system administrator can move control of the administrative control of physical systems or systems within the network to a different server. However, when implementing security controls on deployments, it becomes essential to understand the scale at which the resources need to be distributed. Simply put, separation makes IT more secure (Liu et al., 2019).

Three Mountains Regional Hospital Code of Ethics
Progressive developments in science and technology in the 20th century contributed to advances in healthcare and medicine that have helped many lives. Healthcare professionals are confronted with ethical dilemmas and moral questions as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing. Healthcare specialists are required to be dedicated to excellence within their professional practice of promoting community, organizational, family, and individual health. Healthcare code of ethics provides a platform for shared professional values (Wocial & Tarzian, 2015). It is the responsibility of healthcare specialists to reach the best possible standards of conduct and to encourage these ethical practices to those with whom they work together. Healthcare professionals are facing challenges as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing.
The Three Mountains Regional Hospital code of ethics will clarify the roles and responsibilities within the healthcare profession. The code of ethics will also guide the healthcare professionals on addressing common ethical questions. With 15,000 admissions annually, the Three Mountains Regional Hospital requires a code of ethics that will guide the healthcare professionals in the hospital in dealing with such a capacity. Healthcare professionals from the hospital will be defined by their purpose but not their job description (Turner & Epstein, 2015). The proposed code of ethics will inform individual decision-making when faced with ethical situations within a given relationship or role at the Three Mountains Regional Hospital.
Ethics are an essential part of healthcare, and they should provide value in practical situations. The proposed code of ethics will provide a structure and shape to the Three Mountains Regional Hospital’s environment and summarize the healthcare organization’s ethical position. The code of ethics will describe the ethical attitude shared by healthcare workers at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, and it will be valuable and influential on the success of the healthcare organization. The mission of the code of ethics is to guide the hospital is leading the way to a healthier community through the provision of quality care.

Security Risks in Database Migration
As organizations become more reliant on database applications, companies may require to migrate their databases allowing for cheaper running which can then replicated to the consumers with reduced charges. This can be demonstrated with the recent move of Apple Inc.’s iCloud user data to Chinese servers. The move by the company was to reduce the expense of running the severs “inhouse,” however, brought about questions regarding data security for people using smart devices. Nevertheless, data migration can be daunting particularly when the event is unplanned or unwanted (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017). When companies migrate, they experience some risks and challenges as servers are moved from one location to another. Among the first issues is the loss of data or information (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017). In a recent study, it was estimated that this problem accounts for approximately fifty percent of all problems that occur during this process. The outcomes of this problem are viewed as damaging for both businesses and individuals using the services (Fisch, White, & Pooh, 2017).
Though this problem is common during database migration, it is not the only one, another issue is semantics risk (Malik & Patel, 2016). The term semantic risk is given or used in database security when data or information is imprecisely, or improperly stored resulting in misinterpretations that quickly escalate to adverse outcomes due to computation errors. Therefore, even if the data transfer to the new location was completely efficient some errors may occur when recompiling the data. There are possibilities that information can be unintentionally saved in the wrong location or folder. This can be especially harmful to organizations that deal with numbers or currency such as the various stock exchange organizations globally. In other words, sematic risk can be described as when misunderstanding results in misallocation (Malik & Patel, 2016). This can allow hackers to easily access data that should be properly secured by the various protocols in place. The final security issue with data migration is the risk of incompatibility, though compatibility can be tested, not all the data being sent will be compatible in some cases exemplifying them from security measures thus offering a breach or point of attack (Yunis, Yunus, Nawi, & Surin, 2017).
Overall, data security is important as demonstrated by the recent attacks and breaches that resulted in data leaks of high-profile companies for example Facebook. When migrating data from one server to another as done by Apple Inc. In the example offered, corporate data has to be accessed and for this reason, security cannot be left to chance as the information is both sensitive and critical (K ...
Architecture Framework for Resolution of System Complexity in an EnterpriseIOSR Journals
This document presents an architecture framework for resolving system complexity in an enterprise. It discusses how enterprise architecture can be used to address issues like requirement complexity, organizational complexity, process complexity, and design complexity. The framework breaks down the enterprise information system into subsystems like back-end systems, front-end systems, management tools, and communication systems. It also separates concerns into different architecture layers - an external enterprise model, conceptual enterprise model, front-end systems, back-end systems, and management tools. The framework is intended to provide a structured approach to managing complexity by organizing enterprise data and functions across the different systems and models.
Causes And Consequences Of Data LeakagePatty Buckley
Here are the key points from the case study:
- Pepperdine University has embraced BYOD for many years, allowing students, faculty, and guests to use personal devices on the campus network.
- The university implemented Bradford Networks' Network Sentry solution to provide secure network access for BYOD users while also detecting and responding to security threats.
- Network Sentry integrates with Sourcefire IDS to enable rapid identification and remediation of threats. When threats are detected, Network Sentry can isolate infected devices from the network.
- This approach allows the university to safely support BYOD without restricting access for the majority of devices that are not infected. The focus is on responding to threats rather than restricting devices based

This document discusses cyber security threats and their impact. It provides an overview of some growing cyber risks and how they can threaten the development of the information society. It argues that increased cooperation and information sharing between cyber security groups is needed to effectively address these challenges. Senior executives and governments must play a leading role in overseeing cyber security and minimizing risks through effective IT governance and strategic alignment of security systems. Overall cyber threats are increasing and declining trust in internet users, so concerted efforts are needed from all stakeholders to promote a more secure information environment.
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS .docxmccormicknadine86
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS 2
Maintaining a strong security system in the networking environment to prevent any form of attack and compromise information has been a formidable problem in recent times. There is fairly a small number of operating systems compared to the vast number of computer systems that are in operation. This situation has created a leeway for cyber attackers to target the systems easily (Palmer, 2010). Cyber attackers have formulated diverse techniques to exploit the homogeneity of the network environment. This article will explore the benefits related to diversity and commonality in the event of a malicious attack.
The purpose of any security strategy is to completely eliminate or at least limit the impact of damage to a successful attack on a particular system. At some point, any computer can be vulnerable to malware attacks, and the most important aspect in a case like this is to achieve an optimum level of preparedness. Diversity of the operating systems is beneficial in several ways, though an organization could incur an extra operational cost. Moving some groups of users to various different operating systems helps avert the overall damage caused by the SQL Slammer and MSBlast worms. Malicious-code attacks directed towards the commonly used operating system, windows, have been so rampant, thereby necessitating the need for improved security procedures of the computers (Anderson & Anderson, 2010).
Significant operational damages have been incurred before by businesses and enterprise to extensive downtime, brought about by malware attacks. Adopting diversity in operating systems comes along with several security benefits;
· Helps contain malicious-code attacks- Virus and worm attacks target and exploit the flaws in windows operating systems. In a case like this, availing an alternative operating system would be critical in helping to contain the spread to other PCs owned by the business. The impact of the attack is leveled down since some core business can be carried out in the event of an attack.
· Directing some pressure towards Microsoft- Health competition among service and commodity provider is beneficial for the consumers. Being diversified in terms of operating systems pushes dominant companies like Microsoft to try so hard to meet the security needs of their customers.
· It helps speed up innovations in the sense that other operating system developers will work towards improving their operating systems to match that of the windows. Such innovations include stable security systems that prevent malware from instilling too much damage to the computer system.
Exercising commonality in the usage of operating systems comes with its own benefits, too, especially when dealing with a malicious attack. The business would not incur too much cost, in the event of a ...
Week 1 Answer It is important to understand human beings and t.docxjessiehampson
Week 1 Answer :
It is important to understand human beings and technology interact in all information systems. This is important because when humans understand their interaction with technology, they will embrace its importance and help in managing and controlling their use(Mjolsnes, 2011). In addition to that, this knowledge helps humans to come up with innovative means to make sure that their interaction with technology is profitable to them.
It is important and necessary for businesses to educate their employees on security matters. This is because when employees understand the security of systems, they will avoid behaviors that might risk the safety of their systems (Seigneur, 2009). They will avoid sharing passwords of the systems to unauthorized people.

In order to create a project plan, there are six steps that need to be taken. First, you reiterate the project scope to ensure everyone understands the justification of the project, its deliverables to the customer and objectives of the project. Next, the group will identify the project milestones, phases, activities and tasks that will be completed during the project. This will also assist in keeping track of the project progress. Then, you will quantify the effort required for each task by breaking down each task and determining how many hours will be needed for dedication to the task. From here, resources will be determined and allocated to support each task needed for the project. After this is complete, development of a project schedule can be initiated. Further analysis of the project will be taken while constructing the schedule to see if any other planning needs to be taken before project execution. Lastly, you will list any planning dependencies, assumptions and constraints for the project. These outline any relationships between tasks within the project as well as detailing requirements that must be met to accomplish certain tasks.
For a quality plan to be created, these four steps must be completed. First, define the quality of the deliverables of the project. With everyone at a complete understanding of the expected quality, they can ensure each activity is maintained at the quality. Next, the group identifies the quality of the deliverables targets during each activity. Then, you can describe the quality assurance and control techniques that need to be taken to ensure quality is being met. Finally, you define the processes required to achieve the specified quality targets during each phase or activity.
A communication plan is a document that outlines the information that needs to be shared and when it needs to be shared among everyone involved with the project. This document details which information needs to be communicated, how it needs to be communicated, how often it is communicated and who is responsible for ensuring it is communicated. It is a pretty neat document and the project team discusses this document before starting any project as to ensure everyone understands what information is required from them at which times.

Business costs or risks of poof data quality:
Poor data quality may lead chiefs to not have the capacity to settle on poor choices or not have the capacity to settle on choices by any stretch of the imagination. Poor data may prompt lost deals and different opportunities, misallocation of assets, defective methodologies, and orders might not be right, inventory levels perhaps incorrect, and clients may wind up noticeably disappointed and headed out. The cost of poor quality data spreads all through the organization influencing frameworks from transportation and accepting to bookkeeping and client administrations. Extra costs are acquired when representatives must set aside opportunity to chase down and correct data errors.
The improvement of information innovation amid the most recent decades has empowered organizations to gather and store enormous measures of data. Nonetheless, as the data volumes increment, so does the multifaceted nature of overseeing them. Since bigger and more unpredictable information assets are being gathered and overseen in organizations today, this implies the danger of poor data quality builds (Watts and Shankaranarayanan, 2009). Another often specified data related issue is that organizations often oversee data at a nearby level (e.g. division or area).
Data mining:
Data mining, likewise called learning disclosure in databases, in software engineering, the way toward finding intriguing and valuable examples and connections in extensive volumes of data. The field consolidates apparatuses from insights and counterfeit consciousness, (for example, neural networks and machine learning) with database administration to examine substantial computerized accumulations, known as data sets. Data mining is broadly utilized as a part of business (protection, saving money, retail), science inquire about (space science, prescription), and government security (location of hoodlums and terrorists).
Text mining:
Text Analytics, otherwise called text mining, is the way toward examining extensive accumulations of composed assets to create new information, and to transform the unstructured text into organized data for use in assist examination. Text mining distinguishes actualities, connections and statements that would somehow stay covered in the mass of textual huge data. These realities are removed and transformed into organized data, for investigation, perception (e.g. by means of html tables, mind maps, graphs), mix with organized data in databases or distribution centers, and further refinement utilizing machine learning (ML) frameworks.

ABSTRACT
Security concerns have grown in sync with the growth of ecommerce. This paper
presents a framework for analyzing systems security in terms of three dimensions,
namely, technology, process, and people. The paper also advocates a systems
development life cycle view of security. It describes different activities that need to be
carried out throughout the development cycle in order to improve overall systems
security. It also discusses the theoretical and practical implications of the study, and
identifies future research directions.

INTRODUCTION
Like all sectors of the economy, e-commerce has also been negatively impacted by the
worldwide economic downturn. While other sectors have seen their growth suddenly
move down in the reverse gear, e-commerce has held its ground well. According to
the latest published e-commerce statistics (US Department of Commerce, 2011),
online spending in 2010 in the United States increased 8.1 percent from that of 2009.
This document discusses how to successfully implement an IT security policy. It begins by defining what an IT security policy is - a written, ever-changing document that explains how an organization will protect its IT assets. It then outlines the importance of such policies for protecting data and controlling access. The document also discusses challenges across the seven domains of IT (user, workstation, LAN, etc.) and how policies can address each domain. It notes some potential barriers to implementation like human factors but emphasizes that successful policies are created, assigned responsibilities, ensure compliance, and are continually maintained. The overall goal is for policies to safeguard organizational data and resources from both internal and external threats.

Posting 1 : user security awareness is the most important element of an organization as we know a single email can result in a multi-million dollar loss through a breach in very short time. that is the primary reason many large organizations have a specific division who deal with the security whose prime task is it identify and prevent security breaches and most interestingly companies like Facebook have one million dollar price reward for ethically breaching their security which helps them identify more ways and prevent them before they occur. speaking of which user security deals with various levels of users as mentioned below.
1. New employees
2. Company executives
3. Traveling Employees
4. IT Employees
5. For all employees
Security awareness should be covered focusing the four above mentioned categories using real-world examples like classroom training, and circulating latest updates in security patches and also articles or suggestions as well as visual examples about security awareness. Training employees by pasting most important security preventions every employee must consider in order to prevent security breach and pasting lastest updates about security measurements in common areas across office space and conduct brainstorm sessions with individual senior staff members to understand their needs and how to apply security awareness across teams.
and second thing is to secure customers who are the core revenue generating people to an organization and its organization's duty to secure customers. The customer is the benefit of any organization. At the present time, where online security turns into an essential, the association must view client's profitable data that movements between the server and the site. By building security culture, the association can spur clients, contractual workers, representatives. A fulfilled client dependably functions as a mouth exposure and will fill in as an advantage of the organization. The association can guarantee their clients that the amount they think about their web assurance. The association ought to likewise distribute a note of wellbeing safety measure on the site for clients while collaborating with the web world.

Security is a key human thought that has ended up being harder to portray and approve in the Information Age. In rough social requests, security was compelled to ensuring the prosperity of the get-together's people and guaranteeing physical resources. As society has grown more mind-boggling, the centrality of sharing and securing the fundamental resource of data has extended. Before the extension of present-day trades, data security was confined to controlling physical access to oral or created correspondences. The essentials of data security drove social requests to make innovative techniques for guaranteeing their data.

Ideation Process
Innovation technology is mainly concerned with the introduction of a new idea into the market. Any basic innovation technology has an ideation process as its basis. Ideation becomes the most basic step. During this stage, a thought is generated. From this thought, an idea is analyzed and provided. The analysis process is done purposefully to determine the feasibility of the implementation of the developed idea. Analysis also establishes the market demand of the idea that has been developed. It determines the possible profit, and this such of an idea would bring to the organization upon its implementation. This explanation will be discussed on the aspect of a new technology known as Internet of Things, which was designed with a main reason of providing internet faculties to all locations on the surface of the earth on each scale.
When an analysis has been completed, what follows afterwards is the aspect of idea implementation. Implementation of the idea is always followed by the testing of the idea (Gubbi et al., 2013). Here, the idea is tested for its validity to be established. The validity here is trying to answer the question of whether the idea is trying to answer the problem that led to its establishment and implementation. Validity also gives the corrections and accuracy on the assessment of the set system. In case the assessment gives the right thing that the set idea was meant to provide, then the idea is valued and worth to be used in the market. If a contrary occurs, then it becomes advisable for the idea to be scripted. Every system needs to pass the validity test for it to be reliable, although some experts argues that not all valid systems are reliable.

Most cases of the idealization process require alternatives to limit any possible risk or loss. Sometimes, it is evident that the innovative idea may bring some critical challenges in the implementation process. Some aspects that should be considered in the process include budget, and other critical resources that are required in the implementation process. For instance, the IoT can be used to supply internet connectivity in case the other alternative fails or vice versa. It is recommended that any form of learning and research should be done to control any possible discrepancies in the IoT technology. Any other technology can be implemented if it depicts the same functionality as the one described by the IoT.
Overview
The IoT refers to ever-growing technology that provides IP addresses to all objects and substances that one may imagine associating with. The assigned objects can promote communication amongst themselves. This technology tries to improve communication among individuals on a large scale by using the internet. The data grouping as well as digitizing the concept of IoT, calls for construction of four c ...
Information Security And The HealthcareTracy Berry
Information security and privacy are important in healthcare to securely share patient information. As healthcare organizations store vast amounts of sensitive data, they must implement robust information security practices. Hospitals in particular house critical healthcare data and tools that patients rely on, so protecting this information from computer viruses or infected devices is essential. Intrusion detection and prevention systems help monitor networks for threats, but healthcare organizations must also raise awareness of security risks and regularly evaluate firewall and router configurations to maintain strong defenses.

Separation in a network is essential, of course. It would be more annoyed with that much knowledgeability and security features if it were only about security. However, it makes this network much more flexible, and in some ways makes it more secure. It reduces the potential for internal and external attacks on the same network and makes it harder for someone to take over the network. Furthermore, this separation keeps our data away from third parties. Separation of access is essential in a network, for example, to ensure that a user cannot access the whole network. It is common for specific applications and software installations on the personal computer to operate in the background. In this regard, it is possible to customize the software operating mode to make the software operation hidden to not be visible to the user. No one server or group of servers is going to have to withstand many other servers. The first line of defense in any IT environment is resource partitioning to enable critical infrastructure to handle all requests without overloading the primary server (Jaeger et al., 2016).
Separation is basically the process of using multiple processes with some type of separation for Process separation of access to objects and data. Separation (or transient segregation) can occur in both physical and logical network segments. The trick with security is to keep it away from the IT infrastructure. For example, a firewall is still strictly considered a technical security tool because it is not supposed to affect business activities. it is possible to separate administrative control, physical systems, and data between those with different roles within the organization. The behavior within the network is like partitioning an IT environment into discrete services, although some elements of this concept have not been adopted in Active Directory–in particular, policies and modules. A system administrator can move control of the administrative control of physical systems or systems within the network to a different server. However, when implementing security controls on deployments, it becomes essential to understand the scale at which the resources need to be distributed. Simply put, separation makes IT more secure (Liu et al., 2019).

SPT 208 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Marketing and advertising are often used interchangeably, yet throughout this course you have learned that marketing is a much larger concept that requires a
strong understanding of consumer behavior, products and services, and often the greater economic environment. Marketing is applicable to every industry and
discipline in one way or another, but within the sport industry we have the chance to see the application of marketing concepts as if under a spotlight due to the
industry’s global reach and importance to society.
Your final project is the creation of an Opportunity and Consumer Analysis. You will select a sport team, individual, facility, or organization as the focus of your
consumer and opportunity analysis. When selecting your area of focus, think about your interests and career aspirations. As you progress through the course,
you will have the opportunity to practice the skills required for this project in several milestone activities. Your final deliverable will include a strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of your selected focus; a consumer analysis; an analysis of successful marketing and media strategies;
and a brief 1-, 3-, and 5-year plan that allows you to explain your intended use of a proven marketing strategy and various media opportunities. Please note that
your Opportunity and Consumer Analysis will be an eligible artifact to include in your program portfolio, as it will highlight your ability to recognize consumer
characteristics and opportunities for brand improvement.

Three Mountains Regional Hospital Code of Ethics
Progressive developments in science and technology in the 20th century contributed to advances in healthcare and medicine that have helped many lives. Healthcare professionals are confronted with ethical dilemmas and moral questions as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing. Healthcare specialists are required to be dedicated to excellence within their professional practice of promoting community, organizational, family, and individual health. Healthcare code of ethics provides a platform for shared professional values (Wocial & Tarzian, 2015). It is the responsibility of healthcare specialists to reach the best possible standards of conduct and to encourage these ethical practices to those with whom they work together. Healthcare professionals are facing challenges as the context in which healthcare is provided keeps on changing.
The Three Mountains Regional Hospital code of ethics will clarify the roles and responsibilities within the healthcare profession. The code of ethics will also guide the healthcare professionals on addressing common ethical questions. With 15,000 admissions annually, the Three Mountains Regional Hospital requires a code of ethics that will guide the healthcare professionals in the hospital in dealing with such a capacity. Healthcare professionals from the hospital will be defined by their purpose but not their job description (Turner & Epstein, 2015). The proposed code of ethics will inform individual decision-making when faced with ethical situations within a given relationship or role at the Three Mountains Regional Hospital.
Ethics are an essential part of healthcare, and they should provide value in practical situations. The proposed code of ethics will provide a structure and shape to the Three Mountains Regional Hospital’s environment and summarize the healthcare organization’s ethical position. The code of ethics will describe the ethical attitude shared by healthcare workers at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, and it will be valuable and influential on the success of the healthcare organization. The mission of the code of ethics is to guide the hospital is leading the way to a healthier community through the provision of quality care.
Code of Ethics
· Uphold the policies of the Three Mountains Regional Hospital (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect the intellectual, physical, and electronic property of the hospital (Hoppe & Lenk, 2016).
· Promote a healthy, secure, and safe working environment (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Act responsibly and honestly by avoiding perceived or actual conflicts of interest (Merry & Walton, 2017).
· Protect and respect the privacy and confidentiality of all individuals and informat.

EVOLUTION OF ROCK
MCY 127
Course Description:
This general education course is a study of the birth and evolution of the music form of Rock and Roll. It is a study of both the historical and musical elements of rock with a focus on the performers and the songs in the genre. Some of the objectives for this course include:
Increasing awareness of the wide range of musical styles that “add up” to form rock
Provide insight on the cultural evolution of rock and how it applies to society
Study how technological advances have influenced both the performers and composers in rock
Prerequsites:
None
Required text:
None
Required listening: Spotify playlist MCY127TS
Course Requirements and Grading:
Test 1 20%
Midterm exam 25%
Test 3 20%
Final exam 25%
Essay on live musical performance 10%
Essay assignment will consist of attending a live musical performance at the Frost School of Music (or approved off campus performance). At the conclusion of the performance, you will obtain signatures of two or more participants. You will compose an essay that will summarize the performance (ensemble, repertoire, etc.). You will compare and/or contrast the performance with details we have studied in class. The essay should be two to three pages long, computer printed, double spaced, and stapled. It will be due on Thursday, November 19.
Conduct and rules:
Rock and roll is a joyous art form. I intend for the class to be a fun and learning environment. I hope to engage you as adults, not as adolescents. However, inappropriate language or behavior to one another will not be tolerated, and will result in the student facing disciplinary action and potential removal from the class. You are adults. I am not your baby-sitter. If you fail to attend class regularly, you will find it much more difficult to excel in the course. SHOW UP AND PAY ATTENTION! It will make your life easier in the long run. Plagiarism on your essay will not be acceptable, and will result in the loss of 10% of your final grade. Cheating is rampant. While I will make every effort to curb the options students might have to copy one another on tests, I can’t stop it completely. I will have assistance from the Honor Council on test days, and cheating will result in a zero on that test. None of you can afford this. I truly believe that if you will engage the material, come to the lectures, and actively listen to the required listening material, you will not find a need to cheat.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by any of the material, please make an appointment to meet with me during office hours.
Lectures and listening:
Each class will consist of a lecture and a period of listening to music appropriate to that lecture. The music played in class will be made available to you through Blackboard in addition. You will be responsible for the material presented.

What Is
the Theory
f ̂ Fiof
y
Firm?
Focus less on competitive advantage and more on growth
that creates value, by Todd Zenger
f asked to define strategy, most execu-
tives would probably come up with
something like this: Strategy involves
discovering and targeting attractive
markets and then crafting positions that
deliver sustained competitive advan-
tage in them. Companies achieve these
positions by configuring and arranging
resources and activities to provide either
unique value to customers or common
value at a uniquely low cost. This view of strategy as
position remains central in business school curricula
around the globe: Valuable positions, protected from
imitation and appropriation, provide sustained profit
streams.
Unfortunately, investors don't reward senior
managers for simply occupying and defending po-
sitions. Equity markets are full of companies with
powerful positions and sluggish stock prices. The
retail giant Walmart is a case in point. Few people
would dispute that it remains a remarkable firm. Its
early focus on building a regionally dense network
of stores in small towns delivered a strong positional
advantage. Complementary choices regarding ad-
vertising, pricing, and information technology all
continue to support its low-cost and flexibly mer-
chandised stores.
Despite this strong position and a successful stra-
tegic rollout, Walmart's equity price has seen little
growth for most of the past 12 or 13 years. That's be-
cause the ongoing rollout was anticipated long ago,
and investors seek evidence of newly discovered
value—value of compounding magnitude. Merely
sustaining prior financial returns, even if they are
outstanding, does not significantly increase share
price; tomorrow's positive surprises must be worth
more than yesterday's.
Not surprisingly, I consistently advise MBA stu-
dents that if they're confronted with a choice be-
tween leading a poorly run company and leading a
well-run one, they should choose the former. Imag-
ine assuming the reins of GE from Jack Welch in Sep-
tember 2001 with shareholders' having enjoyed a 40-
fold increase in value over the prior two decades. The
expectations baked into the share price of a company
like that are daunting, to say the least.
To make matters worse, attempts to grow often
undermine a company's current market position.
As Michael Porter, the leading proponent of strat-
egy as positioning, has argued, "Efforts to grow blur

uniqueness, create compromises, reduce fit, and
ultimately undermine competitive advantage. In
fact, the growth imperative is hazardous to strategy."
Quite simply, the logic of this perspective not only
provides little guidance about how to sustain value
creation but also discourages growth that might in
einy way move a compeiny away from i.

Why We Love

July–August 2015 Harvard Business Review 55
These feelings aren’t new. They’ve erupted now
and in the past because we don’t like being told how
to behave—and no other group in organizational life,
not even finance, bosses us around as systematically
as HR does. We get defensive when we’re instructed
to change how we interact with people, especially
those who report to us, because that goes right to the
core of who we are. What’s more, HR makes us per-
form tasks we dislike, such as documenting problems
with employees. And it prevents us from doing what
we want, such as hiring someone we “just know” is
a good fit. Its directives affect every person in the
organization, right up to the top, every single day.
The complaints also have a cyclical quality—
they’re driven largely by the business context. Usu-
ally when companies are struggling with labor issues,
HR is seen as a valued leadership partner. When
things are going more smoothly all around, manag-
ers tend to think, “What’s HR doing for us, anyway?”
This doesn’t mean that HR is above reproach.
Quite the contrary: It has plenty of room to improve,
and this is a moment of enormous opportunity. Little
has been done in the past few decades to examine the
value of widely used practices that are central to how
companies operate. By separating the effective from
the worthless, HR leaders can secure huge payoffs for
their organizations. But it’s important to understand
HR’s tumultuous history with business leaders and
the economy before turning our attention to what the
function should be doing now and in the future.
The “Personnel” Pendulum
How top executives feel about HR pretty reliably re-
flects what’s going on in the U.S. economy. When the
economy is down and the labor market is slack, they
see HR as a nuisance. But sentiments change when
labor tightens up and HR practices become essential
to companies’ immediate success.
Think back to the Great Depression. People would
put up with nearly anything to stay employed. Line
managers complained that personnel departments
were getting in the way of better performance, which
they thought could be achieved with the “drive” sys-
tem: threatening workers and sometimes even hit-
ting them if they failed to measure up.
Similarly, business leaders didn’t put a lot of
stock in HR during the 2001 and 2008 recessions, be-
cause employees—keenly aware of how replaceable

Campaign summary
Launched in 2009, the year of Audi’s 100th anniversary,
the Audi Cup is a pre-seasonal worldwide football
tournament. Leading teams including FC Barcelona,
Real Madrid and Manchester United meet in Munich
for the biennial Audi Cup during the summer break in
football.
The event is an owned and mainly refinanced
platform by Audi with a strong international media
presence, achieving around 2.5 billion consumer
contacts across television and online media at each
tournament in around 200 countries. With cutting-edge
technologies as an integral part of its staging and
coverage, the event provides a global opportunity to
highlight Audi’s “Vorsprung durch Technik” values.
Planning
Business needs
The Audi Cup provides an ideal platform to present
a strong, resonating connection between top-level
international football and the brand’s “Vorsprung
durch Technik” positioning. Audi has been involved in
international football for over 14 years and the launch
of the Audi Cup in 2009 established a new benchmark
in proprietary sports marketing, creating a whole new
way for Audi to implement its own rights in a highly
controlled and targeted manner.
Taking a “high-tech” approach to the world of
football broadcasting and marketing, the Audi Cup
meets the clear business need for Audi to demonstrate

and underpin its core brand proposition as a highly
innovative, technologically advanced automotive
company.
The development and implementation of tools
including the first ever implementation of digital overlay
of led boards in live broadcasting and the first ever live
holographic press conference in sport, a dedicated
chatbot and Alexa Skill and the Audi Player Index, not
only underline Audi’s status as a “high-tech” brand but
genuinely enhance enjoyment of the tournament for
fans, building a truly relevant connection.
Sponsorship selection
Audi’s long association with football, with its focus on
high-profile, global clubs, saw the brand develop from
a classic sponsor to an owner and organiser of various
leading platforms in its own right – the Audi Cup, Audi
Summer Tour and Audi Football Summit. With these
properties and its year-round association with the
game, Audi set itself the goal of elevating its successful
sponsorships into full ownership; Audi shifted from a
host or a marque associated with the.

Annotated Bibliography
You second major project for the course will be an annotated bibliography. Instead of writing a
paper, an annotated bibliography requires you to research a particular legal topic or question, of
your choosing, in sports and find academic and law review articles that address that topic. You
will develop a question about a legal topic in sports and find seven law review articles to
summarize. Each article summary should be 300-350 words in length and should both explain
the contents of the article and its relevance to your question or topic. The summaries should be
written in your own words. You are required to select law review articles using LexisNexis. The
format for the annotated bibliography is explained below.
Please put your topic as the title for your paper. Next, each annotation should begin with the
APA citation for the article in bold print (do not include web links), followed by a summary of
the article (300-350 words) explaining how it addresses your question. The complete annotated
bibliography should be double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. You
will be submitting it through Turnitin via Canvas, do not include your name, course number,
date or UFID on your annotated bibliography (similar to the case briefs). You should start each
annotation on a separate page, and please remember to begin each annotation with the APA
citation for the article as instructed above. This assignment is due on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Speech Environment and Recording Requirements• You must have a.docxsusanschei
Speech Environment and Recording Requirements
• You must have an audience of at least 5 adults 18 years or older for all speeches. The audience must be live and in person, that is, physically present. Virtual attendance is not permitted. Your video recording must show the 5 individuals sitting as ENGAGED audience members. The audience should be visible before, during, and after the speech and you should be facing your audience. The camera should be placed behind your audience.
• You are required to record and post all 3 speeches in order to earn a passing grade in this course.
• The video must be of a high enough quality that the instructor is able to see your full facial expressions and gestures. Your instructor will need to be able to hear your voice very clearly. You risk a failing grade if your instructor is not able to discern facial expressions or subtle changes of vocal intonation on the recording.
• Be sure to record your presentation from head to toe. Your instructor needs to be able to see your posture and other elements.
• Be certain to record your video in landscape (wide), not portrait (tall).
• You may not stop the recording and re-record a section of your speech. What you
submit must be a complete presentation from start to finish with NO EDITING. You could record your speech a few times and then pick the best presentation to send. Just make sure you only submit one copy of your best speech.
• You will upload your speech following the YouTube directions and proper privacy guidelines. Speech capture directions and instructions are in Module 1 of the Blackboard online classroom.
• Be certain to provide a video link to your speech that is available for your instructor and college administrators to view without requiring passwords or special permissions. Submitting a link that does not immediately provide this access results in a failing grade for your speech and could result in a failing grade for the course. You cannot use Google Hangouts or other mediated communication in place of a live audience. Your live audience must be physically present at the location you deliver your speech.
• Any attempt to circumvent live speech audience requirements perceived by your instructor as deceptive, dishonest or otherwise disingenuous results in a zero for your speech with no opportunity to make it up and may result in a failing grade in the course and referral to the appropriate FSCJ administrative official for academic dishonesty.
• The video link (URL) you provide for your speech must remain posted, active and viewable until 14 calendar days following the official scheduled end of the semester, according to the official FSCJ academic calendar. Removing your speech from the URL or link you provide automatically reverts any score you have to a zero and will result in a failing grade for the course.
• Attempts to work around presenting in front of a live audience are considered academic dishonesty.
• Posting your speech on a screen or readin.

Sped4 Interview 2.10.17 Audio.m4a
Jodee: [00:00:08] And we are looking at the collaborative process between secondary special ed teachers and transitioning and transition specialists when transitioning students with autism spectrum disorder or other disabilities from secondary to higher. OK so the first question is is describe the condition process as you understand it from the guidelines of the secondary transition plan.
Sped4: [00:00:52] OK. So first thing is a series of assessments that are appropriate for assessing it can include you know obviously interviewing the teacher not not the teacher the student and then sometimes parents are involved in that process. Then there's other batteries of tests. Things like the couter doing AZCIS things other interests inventories and things of that nature to get that. Looking at transcripts students grades grade reports in those things and taking those all that data and that assessment information and looking at that.That's my understanding and interpretation and kind of what I do.
Jodee: [00:01:46] So you know it's the responsibility of the secondary teacher special ed teacher as the case manager to interview the students. And you know one of the big pieces that we look at is the age appropriate goals. You know if you've got a student who is who is autistic academically They're very bright. They can do the work but they have absolutely zero social skills. And they want you maybe studied to be. They want to go into broadcast journalism or something along those lines. So it's like having you determined you know is it like a collaborative effort. You determine and work with the other person you know because sometimes you have to be that person and say yes might not be the best fit for you. How does that kind of playing into things.
Sped4: [00:02:51] I don't know like I don't mind doing that or being the one.
Sped4: [00:02:58] I haven't run into that exact situation but I have other situations where students wanted to go straight to university from high school and just had these visions of grandeur. But their GPA would not allow for that or they had other deficiencies and things of that nature. And so it's just it's sometimes it's like literally printing out the requirement and showing them just saying you know these aren't going to work. It's not a possibility. However it doesn't mean that you can't go on to higher education. And just providing them alternative routes like one if there is enough time if there for example is there a sophomore or a junior. You know we look at like Well is there enough time to get rid of these deficiencies. Can you take some of these courses. Can you do that to get your GPA up to get rid of the deficiencies et cetera. Is that feasible. Is that feasible with money or mom is mom and dad going to pay for that you know. And is there enough time or looking. OK well if that's not an option then community college is not necessarily a bad thing to do it right. When did yo.

Sped Focus Group.m4a
Jodee: [00:00:01] This is a focus group with the secondary special education teachers. So anybody feel free to chime in and we just talked about the secondary transition plan and theoretical principles of Situation and support. So the first question is How does political correctness influence transition process. So think about some of the terminology that's changed. For example we don't refer to kids with cognitive impairment as being mentally retarded. So how does that PC influence the transition process. And anybody can feel free to speak up if they would like.
TS5: [00:00:49] Well I guess I'll start because I'm probably the least politically correct person around. I think you make an example of the fact of you know you know with. What you can and cannot say Well not everybody is up to date on the current lingo and everybody apparently might may be in denial about where their child is at cognitively when using certain terms they may expect more from their or their child than they're actually capable because we're not using terms of people understand or that people use. Obviously I'm not talking about in a hurtful way but you know I mean I have a student now that he's I guess they went out of their way to label him. You know he has a label of autism. But I keep telling these people on my autism is not his problem his cognitive is his problem as long as that IEP keeps talking about autism then that seems to be the direction of where they want to go with the services. And and I keep saying that autism is not the problem. So that's just my 2 cents on.
Jodee: [00:02:12] How has that worked so far just to kind of pair off your response on that TS5 how has it like you're able to see that it's not the Autism that's a problem. How do you stear that to the correct path and have deal with this and what the kid is capable of doing regarding transition.
Sped5: [00:02:34] Well I was fortunate in this area where I think it was an issue of the mom was in denial that it wasn't all the other teachers were like no. This is what this is what he needs. You know because of the IEP I'm trying to get him. You know support all the time and it's just a matter of when they look at the IEP and says why is it that it will be this and this and I'm like I didn't write the IEPP I didn't put down autism. I'll just tell you what I see now what I have and that's what it is. And so it wasn't until at an an IEP meeting that the other teachers who see them every day too are like no this is where he's at. He needs the support he needs this because of x y z. So you know that's just for example.
Jodee: [00:03:25] Okay TS7 I'm going to kind of put you on the spot on for a minute when we talked a couple of days ago about that one student what were some of the things that you might have encountered in working with the parents on regarding transitioning him. And you know just to give a bit with a bit of background history it was a young man diagnosed with.

SPECIAL ISSUE ON POLITICAL VIOLENCE
Research on Social Movements and Political Violence

Published online: 15 July 2008
# Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2008
Abstract Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been
episodic, and studies of different forms of political violence have followed different
approaches, with “breakdown” theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing radicalism,
social movement theories sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and
area study specialists focusing on ethnic and religious forms. Some of the studies on extreme
forms of political violence that have emerged within the social movement tradition have
nevertheless been able to trace processes of conflict escalation through the detailed exam-
ination of historical cases. This article assesses some of the knowledge acquired in previous
research approaching issues of political violence from the social movement perspective, as
well as the challenges coming from new waves of debate on terrorist and counterterrorist
action and discourses. In doing this, the article reviews contributions coming from research
looking at violence as escalation of action repertoires within protest cycles; political
opportunity and the state in escalation processes; resource mobilization and violent
organizations; narratives of violence; and militant constructions of external reality.
Keywords Political violence . Social movements
Attention to extreme forms of political violence in the social sciences has been episodic, with
some peaks in periods of high visibility of terrorist attacks, but little accumulation of results.
There are several reasons for this. First, some of the research has been considered to be more
oriented towards developing antiterrorist policies than to a social science understanding of the
phenomenon. In fact, “many who have written about terrorism have been directly or indirectly
involved in the business of counterterrorism, and their vision has been narrowed and distorted
by the search for effective responses to terrorism…. [S]ocial movement scholars, with very few
exceptions, have said little about terrorism” (Goodwin 2004, p. 259). Second, studies of
different forms of political violence have followed different approaches, with “breakdown”
theories mostly used for the analysis of right-wing radicalism, social movement theories
sometimes adapted to research on left-wing radical groups, and area study specialists focusing
on ethnic and religious forms. Third, and most fundamentally, there has been a tendency to reify

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Infrastructure Document
For a company with potential for expansion, the company may
be required to integrate their infrastructure to ensure solutions
to certain problems are considered. There the company may
need to develop infrastructure which contains reliable and
effective security protocols. Therefore, to ensure the best
network is developed, it means stability, speed and reliability
2. are the major factors that should be considered. On the other
hand, the network should be able to ease operations conducted
in an organization. In this reference, various aspects like
gateways, routers etc should be considered when setting up
workstations. (Chou, D., & Sengupta, S. 2008).
There has been the technological advancement and due to this
reason technology based infrastructure has been innovated.
They have been created and used to partially match the modern
world. Cyberspace or the network can be considered to be of
much value in terms of information and money. Alternatively, it
has lead to extended personal and organizations and reactions.
For example, in this case, is that network has become the center
of many systems which are used to control and manage
infrastructure. I.e. those used in banking, energy delivery etc.
therefore networks are the underlying technological that will
transform the society on basis of information.
Cyberspace is also very sensitive due to the following failure.
Their failure can result due to their complex nature, accident, or
hostile intent. Therefore, bad things can happen to the network
itself or the infrastructure itself due to this reason when
designing a network the design plan needs to consider these
aspects. In this regard, bad things can mean delay, damage or
disconnect. Their when designing a network the design need to
consider this element that may prevent the development of a
well-integrated network. These attics are quite common in day
to day basis and therefore a network design for a company that
is that is expanding should be well implemented to as much as
possible to minimize such incidences.
Networks are under threats which are more extensive with
respect to the value of infrastructure itself. The design should
also consider strategic defense options. Networks are faced with
possible disruption and this may have substantive consequences
to the economy. Therefore, networks infrastructure should be
developed in such a way to prevent potential attackers. For the
network to be efficient, it must be highly protected to prevent
unauthorized network access. For example, hackers can cause
3. destruction to an organization data. This may affect company
productivity. (Radvanovsky, R. S., & McDougall, A. 2009).
Due to the evolution of computer various assumptions have
been developed. For example, in this case, is a modern
computer which is very spacious, and runs universal protocols.
There they are open to access and due to this reason hackers or
people with bad intention can get in touch to them. To provide
adequate protection of network resources three things are
essential to consider. Confidentiality basically means that only
an authorized person can view a particular data. On the other
hand, the system should encompass integrity. This means that
only authorized users can change particular information. It
should also be possible to detect the authenticity of the data.
In a company that is growing, infrastructure and security
network is another adamant aspect that a designer should
consider. Therefore, they should be aware of possible threats
that at any particular moment could compromise the security.
The main objective of installing a network system is to ensure
the operations of an organization run smoothly. However, cost
factor is an important factor that a designer may need to
consider. An asset is anything of value to an organization.
Therefore, the company should ensure the network is secure.
Hackers are always on the headlines however many
organizations have taken the responsibility of preventing such
risks; therefore, the design should consist of all these
vulnerabilities and the way to handle them. An example is a
vulnerability which is a weakness in a design which is at higher
risk of threat. They are sometimes found in protocols and they
can also be found in applications themselves.
For a company, which is expanding, it is essential for
employees to be safe. For example, in the case of fire in the
building, there should be systems in place that notifies the
personnel in that particular building. Therefore, by effective
physical integration, it is possible to manage and maintain
access. Alternatively, being able to automate an organization
processes it become easier to transfer information between
4. systems and the staff. Therefore, integration of an effective
network create operational efficiencies, reduces risk and it also
improves risk man agent.
The company has chosen various ways of enhancing
infrastructure. The internet technology is changing so rapidly
and therefore any company that remains behind may be forced
out of the market. Therefore, due to this reason business must
keep up with the current trend. Availability of technology is not
so much important is it is not used to make the best out of it. In
the present day, computing has become the background of
network infrastructure in much organization. The reason as to
why a company could be having a big budget in installing
computing system is definitely; because this reason covers the
need of cloud computing in an organization. (Bishop, M. 2003).
Computing needs require regular maintenance and expertise to
handle the network system. Due to company growth relative to
technology has become very complex. Therefore, due to this
complex computing system, it is important to have a company
divided into the various department, i.e. finance department,
communication etc. when this division is done, it requires the
very department to have its software’s. Cloud computing is
when a company anvils the technological services through
services provider. In this case, a ‘cloud’ can be defined is a
number of all possible hardwires, and computing application
which are provided as a single package to an organization or a
company.

Running head: INSTITUTIONAL CONFLICT 1
INSTITUTIONAL CONFLICT 4
Institutional Conflict
Susan White
Capella University
6. Introduction
Conflict is hardly avoidable especially when interaction is
between two or more people, whether at home or workplace. In
an institution, conflict is possible between a group and
individual, two or more groups, or two or more individuals
(Rahim, 2010). When an organization have to deal with a
conflict, it is fundamental for an institution to ensure they
address the issue other than the people. The following paper
discusses more on institutional conflict.
Explain why institutional conflict is significant. Why does it
matter?
Some of the various institutional conflict may occur when there
is conflict of interest, unclear definition of responsibilities, lack
of interpersonal relationship and resources. A conflict in most
cases will have a negative connotation, but its effects may be
negative and positive. Institutional conflict therefore significant
as the management will have the chance to bring the members
together (Blake & Mouton, 1984). Members get to work
together to solve the conflict, therefore sharing their opinion.
Learning from each other’s opinion helps in improvement of
future communication.
7. The above matters because it dictates the continuity of a
business. Unsolved conflicts may bring about violence, decrease
in company’s productivity, and some members leaving the
organization. Solved conflicts on the other hand allows the
management and members learn more about each (Lipsky &
Seeber, 2006).
Institutional Conflict Problems
As discussed above, several issues as a result of any type of
institutional conflict. The following examples are discussed
herein:
Employee turnover
Members of an institution who are continually frustrated with
the conflict level, may make up their mind to terminate their
membership. This is normally detrimental when a member is a
head of a committee or executive board which may end up
compromising the organizational management (Gordon, 2005).
Increased absenteeism
Conflicts especially in an organization may get tiring. This is
especially one is involved. One keeps avoiding his or her
workplace as a way of avoiding reality on the ground. The
workplace becomes boring a reason for one to continually be
absent.
Increased health claims
Organizational conflicts may cause frustration to a member if
they feel there is no solution on the way any time soon, or if the
feeling is that their opinion is falling on deaf ears. As result,
stress starts being evident, adversely affecting their personal
and professional lives. The member may start experiencing
headaches, overheating, loss of appetite, sleeping problems and
finally they become unapproachable (Rahim & Bonoma, 1979).
Conclusion
Institutional conflicts are a thing that is just inevitable
especially when people are living together. These conflicts are
significant and should be handled professionally so that they
8. don’t cause interruptions to the particular institution. As
demonstrated above, if unresolved they have damaging effects
to the individuals and the institution at large.

Section 1: Project Introduction
Introduction
a. Background information of the Company
The company is known for its rampant role in the collection and
analysis of data. The firm has been operational for a duration
almost equalling 2 years and has a total of approximate 20
employees, where 4 have been delegated to the IT department.
Due to the rampant growth that has been exhibited by the firm,
pundits predict that it is going to experience a staggering 60%
growth for the next one and a half year. The organization
collects data by the help of the Web analytics and then
combines it with the data obtained from the operation systems.
Web analytics hold a significant role in majority of the
marketing plans for the business and it involves measuring,
collecting, analysing and then reporting the data collected from
the website for the sake of development and optimization of
usage of web.
The firm is a very young one and hence is struggling to adopt to
the limited technological infrastructure it has to keep it running.
However regardless of this, the firm still anticipates to have the
business expanded in the next half a year by having its
operational activities moved from its current one floor to a
spacious 3 floors. The company has all the information
regarding its operations kept in the form of both hardware and
software and stored on-site.
b. The company’s business
The firm works on web analytics and effective qualitative
15. reportage. The software used by the firm enables it to have high
quality, data collection that is very effective that starts in
minutes without any necessity of additional programing (Aalst,
et al. 2009). Therefore, whether it is a very big document,
review or digital sets of data, the organization will be able to
provide you with analytical services, which will off great help
for you in acquiring answers that are simpler to ambiguous
business queries. The firm is further able to collect native and
email data from almost all the electronic sources, with the
inclusion of the individual computers, storage devices for
mobile media, backup tapes, networks belonging to the
companies, and the mobile devices for personal use (Aalst, et al.
2009). This shows that the company is well equipped to manage
almost all of the devices.
c. The Current Outsourcing and offshoring activities.
Globalization and an increase on the competition on the global
standards have pushed the organization to incorporate a wider
range of economical transfers and the process of exchanging
goods and services, technical knowhow, personnel, and
numerous other related intermediate activities that are part of
the value chains for the global markets. When it comes
outsourcing and offshoring, there is always a very close
relationship amid the locations, motivational standards and the
organizational strategy for the company (Warranty Data
Collection and Analysis. 2011). Technological advancements
will ultimately play great roles in reshaping this subject more in
the organization.
The main reason behind the organization resolving to the
activities related to outsourcing and offshoring when it comes to
knowledge is because the firm has an objective of cementing its
competitive advantage. This will only be achieved through
exploitation of the locally available talent and proficiency in
the host economies.
d. The skilled information personnel in position and their
responsibilities
The following are the duties and the responsibilities of the team
16. that will ensure the fulfilment of the project.
· The Senior Project Director
i. The individual will be in charge of ensuring that the project is
planned, directed and ensures a smooth running of the project.

Staffing Management Plan
The Staffing Management Plan helps with formalization of the
processes that are used in managing the project. This plan
positions itself with the available processes like refurbishment,
Cultural and People policies, the policies for the supply chain,
and the collective agreements that have been continuously
applied by Organization for its staffing (Water Research
Foundation, September 1, 2011). During the resources
planning, there is significance in considering the resources that
are commonly used in the project and the ones from the external
environment. The Staffing Management Plan will aim to provide
a solution to the required resources to offer support to the
program through the life cycle of the project. However, it is of
significance to note that the details contained in the plan will
only be for the foreseeable future and will be updated with a
continuation of realization of the process.
When it comes to the staffing of the project and the resources,
the requirements will vary with time as the project progresses.
This document will be subjected to continuous updates as
deemed necessary for the phases that are to come. Staff will be
required to report directly to the organizational headquarters.
The staff that will be taken to work for this project will be split
into three main categories. There will be some employed on a
full-time, provisional, or rotational obligations. Finally,
purchased services contracts from the external that includes
Amplified Staff, particular, and accomplished task contracts
will help greatly in bringing in new staff in the course of
realizing the project (Project Management Institute, 2004).
All of the details relating to the staff and the, to be used
resources will be developed and safely stored in the Projects
Business Plan, which is a section of the Organization Business
Plan. The duties of the staff and the planning of the resources
will be put purely on the shoulders of the Project Manager, the

Executive Director and the firms Director, Subscribers and the
Research Services have been mandated with the duty of seeing
to it that the resources related to personnel and finances are
allocated in the best way possible for the sake of development
and operation of the programs and processes related to quality
(Water Research Foundation, September 1, 2011).
When it comes to the management of the organization, the focus
has been solemnly put on ensuring that the goals of the process
is achieved so that the mission and vision of the organization
are achieved. The quality program is inclusive of the team
members who have basic duties of making the processes,

Executive Summary
Business intelligence is one of the best technique businesses can
use to get functional intelligence from data. Through this,
businesses can provide required information to people of their
interest at any given time and via correct channels which in turn
can help to create a competitive gain by well-informed decision
making. Almost all businesses have a huge amount of
information that is available as structured data. Based on their
functional activities within the business, this information has
accumulated over time. Therefore, the old-style method may not
be able to utilize the late opportunities provided by this massive
data fully. In that case, the use of business intelligence system
has made work easier by consolidating, analyzing, store and
retrieve accumulated amount of data. This can be achieved by
techniques such as business analytics.
The paper will focus on a preview of business analytics by
defining this into depth term and, also providing its capabilities
along with how it is utilized by business enterprises to gain a
competitive advantage over their competitors.
According to Stubbs, business analytic is a practice of iterative
methodological examination of a business data with prominence
on statistical analysis.Business Analytics is mainly used by
companies devoted to data-driven decision making.The use of
business analytic enables the organization to improve their
business by ensuring optimized decision along with the use of
methods employed in statistics that involve data gathering and
29. analysis (Stubbs, 2013).
By the use of business analytics, the enterprise could
realize the reaction of the products or service from the external
environment such as customers, regions among others. This will
enable them to add features or vary the product or service based
on their customer's demand. The data for the product is
important to any new product line with structures since this can
be used to improve sales in a certain target population.
However, the idea of business analytic is in most cases utilized
by people involved in marketing. Marketers apply this technique
to predict and analyze customer's behavior. Therefore,
statistical techniques are applied based on historical data for
consumer's transactions. Therefore, information and statistics is
the key aspect of business analytics in the organization.
What a company can do with Business Analytics (BA)
Business analytic make use of statistical techniques on past
business performance to improve the new business insight and
initiative business planning. It also involves the use of
practices, skills and application along with some technologies.
The key concepts that always investigated from business
analytics are the information questions like what took place for
the last few years based on sales in a certain region. Also, the
analysis involves what might be taking place then in a certain
place and what might be their predictive performance. Based on
these questions, critical understanding must be enhanced to
answer the questions in a more advanced manner. Therefore, the
only solution to such questions is by use of mathematical
modeling and experimental designs.
Besides, from focusing on these questions, the answers will
always provide the next best action to be taken. The forecast
analysis is the best to decide the steps that the business can use
to either improve the sales of a specific product or change the
variation of a product or service. Business analytics always
focus on more perceptive answers to questions the organization
may require. This includes the perspectives to stay competitive
within their business line. The analysis helps to make proper
30. decisions which will reduce jeopardize in decision-making
(Rajiv Sabherwal, 2011).
Today, the use of business analytics is applicable in almost
all the business in predicting their customer's behavior, the
price range of the product, in logistics along with determining
best transportation routes. Also, the business may employ
business analytic in supply chain operation and in finding the
crucial factors that influence the organization performance,
investments, risk management, issuing credit cards and
maximizing sales.
Environmental requirements for Business Analytics (BA)
For Business Analytics (BA) be utilized fully it requires some
elements to be available. Most important is to identify which
features the process are allied to satisfy and value the
standpoint of the consumer. Business Analytics (BA) can be
performed in presence of the following components;
· Data: this deals with data quality and data sufficiency
requirements for analytics process. Enough data should be
present for modeling, testing and experimenting as analytics
demands. This additionally calls for management and
technology used in the whole Business Analytic process.
· Enterprise: Effective Business Analytics requires an enterprise
view point. In the absence of Enterprise, Business Analytics
initiatives may be confined, and it will be difficult to draw any
important benefits at the enterprise level.
· Leadership: Business Analytics (BA) requires capable and
cross-functional leaders who have strong executive management
support. The management emphasis more than just one project.
The leadership will strive to bring Business Analytics (BA)
based culture in the business environment.
· Targets: These are metrics to track these outcomes of
analytics projects. The metrics can be consumer loyalty, hiring
better corresponding to skill set requirements, increased
performance in the supply chain, and better quantitative risk
leadership.
· Analysts: they must pose high expert capabilities to build the
31. models and arrive at the results.
The figure below shows a data flow diagram in Business
analytics and cloud computing environment.
Conclusion
To sum up, for any business organization to succeed in the
present world market, Business analytics technique is the
stepping stone. I recommend the use of analyses reports made
from business analytic to improve the organization’s
management team to make insightful decisions for business
success.

due process. To ensure that the expected 20% expansion rate
that is expected for the next coming years does not catch the
organization by a surprise, the following project have been
initiated to help in the due process.
In the bid to have the information systems docket for the
organization renovated, the following practises will be of
significance. The first action that is undertaken is to ensure that
the security of the whole system is fostered in the best way
possible.
· The organization will make use of a centralized system of
storage of information to help with fostering an adequate
relationship and integration between systems and infrastructure,
data and Warehousing, analytics, interfaces and cloud
technology.
· The data collected will be stored and kept in fireproof rooms.
Further, the organization will be reinforced with ultramodern
security surveillance that will be helpful in ensuring that the
data in it stays safe and that any given breach of data will be

developmental requirements of the project in conjunction with
the other departmental, entities of the organization.
· The IT department will engage in necessary advancements that
will provide support for needs of the organization regarding the
management of the information it has and the data collected
(Mazzeo, Bellini., Motta, & IFIP World Computer Congress.
2008).
· The implementation of the plan for the IT department is an
independent process that strongly depends on the way other
dockets manages the information at their disposal.
· The implementation window for the system has undergone
complete compressing hence testing of the new IT system have
to be carried out in a very short duration, with no ample time
(Young, 2006).
· All of the employees in the IT department will constantly be
taken through training exercises to equip them with the best
practises of determining any malicious activities on the
organization’s website. This will help in quick detection and
response to any kind of danger.
36. With this in place, the organization anticipates to experience the
best smooth incorporation of the expansion to assist with
technological advancements in the industry. Being the leading
data collection and analysis firm is the goal of the organization.

Business Requirements
37. Project Overview
There is a lot of significance in ensuring that the quality of
business requirements are procured. This will help in ensuring
that the organizational information systems remain one of
quality. Therefore, ensuring that the quality requirements
documents is completed is something that is important to ensure
that the needs of the user are taken into consideration and that
there is a consideration of their expectations (Garton, &
McCulloch, 2012). This due to the fact that it will enable proper
designing of the information systems and the organizational
infrastructure. Therefore, after the 2 years of being operational,
the organization which is based on data collection and its
subsequent analysis has the obligation of creating the best
repository for the data it collects that spans beyond the
standardly recognized data bases. Due to the 20% expansion of
the data warehouse on annually basis, the following project
requirement document will be essential to help cater for the
ever increasing necessity and urgency of requiring storage
space.
The Scope of the Project
This document will provide an address to the requirements to
the renovation of the organization’s information systems. This
is propelled by the necessity of having the best storage space
that will ensure that the data belonging to the organization are
stored in the safest place available and that they are kept up to
date at all times. This is due to the rampant yearly expansion of
the data warehouse. The business requirements for the It
department includes the identification, certification and
management of the information that flows through the stream of
the organization in the best way possible and to ensure that they
are safely stored away from the access of the malicious
individuals who might want to illegally access the contents of
the organizational data (Young, 2006). The business
requirements outlined in this document will be strongly
expected to be enacted by the management at the IT department
and other supporting departments like the finance docket that
38. handles very sensitive information regarding the operations
being conducted by the organization.
Controlling the Project Scope
All of the specified requirements within their documents will be
keenly and thoroughly traced to the recommended deliverables
in the organization to ensure that all of the provisions undergo
proper implementation and testing. To have an adequate
maintenance of a trace to all the requirements for the whole life
cycle of the project, the use of the rational project set will be in
order. The reports that will be extracted from the Rational will
be made as part of this document’s appendix to ensure a
provision of updated snapshot of the repository of the
requirements that covers the management of the plan being
used.
Identification of the possible risks, the constraints, and the
assumptions
Assumptions
The list provided below are some of the assumptions that played
key part on the identification and subsequent development of
the outlined requirements in this document. The assumptions are
aimed at fostering a mutual understanding, quality
communication, and partnership among the stakeholders of the
project.
1. The IT department will be in charge of developing the
developmental requirements of the project in conjunction with
the other departmental, entities of the organization.
2. The IT department will engage in necessary advancements
that will provide support for needs of the organization regarding
the management of the information it has and the data collected.
3. The organization will enhance its current internal systems
and the existing processes to help with aligning them to adhere
to the requirements of the network directory provider and the
best requirements of data that the overall organizational plan
has.
Constraints
39. The list provided below shows the encountered constraints that
worked to oppose the realization of the requirements of the
project. The constraints of the project are the factors that works
against realization of the projects or those that tend to limit
realizing the results that are desired (like the satisfying
requirements, meeting the goals of the project, and achieving
the success measures for the project) as this document states.
1. All of the functionality of the management plan to the
organization must be kept operation at all times so as to help
with the yearly expansion that is expected to stand at 20%
(Mazzeo, Bellini, Motta, & IFIP World Computer Congress.
2008). To ensure that this deadline is met on a constant basis,
adequate plans must be certified and approved by the top
management at the firm.
Risks
The list provided below are some of the recognizable risks that
are associated with the realization of the project. The risks have
the ability of creating issues that may intern cause uncertain
effects on the ongoing project hence making the realization of
the results to be in jeopardy. They include:
1. The implementation of the plan for the IT department is an
independent process that strongly depends on the way other
dockets manages the information at their disposal.
2. The implementation window for the system has undergone
complete compressing hence testing of the new IT system have
to be carried out in a very short duration, with no ample time.
3. The stakeholders will have reduced amount of time to prepare
the plans they have for the organization and to have the very
plans incorporated into the mainstream of the organizational
information system.
The organization uses a centralized system of storage of
information to help with fostering an adequate relationship and
integration between systems and infrastructure, data and
Warehousing, analytics, interfaces and cloud technology. All of
the data collected will be stored and kept in fireproof rooms.
Further, the organization will be reinforced with ultramodern
40. security surveillance that will be helpful in ensuring that the
data in it stays safe and that any given breach of data will be
taken with the most seriousness it deserves (Films for the
Humanities & Sciences (Firm), Films Media Group., & Video
Education Australasia. 2011). Further, all of the computer
systems in the organization will be decentralized to help with
easy monitoring of the activities of the employees when using
the organizational computer systems.
The Potential Outsourcing or Offshoring Needs
Based on the current technologically advanced systems that the
organization uses, there will be no need of outsourcing any
further facilities. Instead, the available ones will be constantly
upgraded to ensure that they stay at par and offer protection
against any malicious acts by the hackers. With this, the
organization’s data will be strong and be able to detect and act
on any kind of malware sent to it by third party individual.
