Subject: We’re on a Roll
Hey Hotshot,
In a few short months you’ve managed to make a real impact on the success of this company. I can’t say I’m surprised considering that you had me as a mentor, but it’s impressive nonetheless. New management trainees are already hearing your name in the halls as someone to emulate. One big thing that I’ve been noticing is that these new hires aren’t nearly as knowledgeable about the business process as you were when you first started. I’d like to try to fix that. Digital Worldwide needs you to find a couple of resources for continued education that provide ongoing information about the business world. These can be Twitter accounts to follow, email alerts from reputable business websites, or anything else you can think of. We just have to find a way to get them up to speed on changes in the business environment as they happen. It wouldn’t hurt for you to use them yourself if you don’t already. Get me an email with a couple suggestions with explanations of the value they provide by the middle of the week.

There are different types of firewalls, and each has its place in the enterprise. Packet filters are easier to deploy and less expensive, but application layer gateways provide more robust protection for critical systems. Firewalls cannot protect against application mis-configuration. One firewall is rarely sufficient protection. Firewalls should be deployed to create “zones” of authorized types of traffic, separating applications into groups of related security requirements. Firewalls may be useful for protecting internal systems, such as those in the data center, from internal misuse, in addition to their traditional role of protecting public servers from the dangers of being accessible from the Internet. While deploying multiple firewalls generally increases security levels, firewalls should not be over-deployed. As with other systems and devices, they have a point of diminishing returns where over-zealous deployments eventually fail to provide any return on investment. Firewalls should be coupled with other technologies, such as intrusion detection system (IDS) products. Security is only as good as the latest security patch, so system maintenance should be regular and timely .Firewalls should be monitored on a regular basis, but should not be treated as an IDS. When examining logs, failures are as important as successful connections, and outbound connections should be examined as well as inbound .If alerts will be sent to administrators, they should be classified to control false positives. Firewalls are not install-and-forget devices. As application requirements change, firewalls should be updated to match those changes .As with other systems, unused services should be disabled.
The biggest benefit of using a biometric device for authentication purposes is the ease of use that it offers. Fingerprint scanners are extremely affordable and are fairly easy to use. You can compare the fingerprints among millions of records that can be contained in a computer database. The results can be instantaneous depending on the amount of records that you are comparing the fingerprints to.
As such, Biometric technology makes identity fraud less likely. It’s much more difficult to fraud a biometric device than to steal an employee identification card.
Unlike passwords, biometrics such as face mapping, fingerprints and iris scans can’t be changed when a database gets popped. Worse, data sold to marketers or gobbled up into an authoritarian database isn’t reversible.
Research on biometric tech has amped up, leading to mobile apps that read various unique-to-you body parts to help verify your identity, raising all kinds of security and privacy concerns, and it’s still an open question as to how government and manufacturers are going to address it all.
In Chapter 12 of the textbook, we learned about three types of workplace conflicts: organizational diversity and conflict, work-life conflict, and workplace bullying. Select one of
these workplace conflicts and explain it in your own words. Provide an
example of the conflict you chose and offer solutions to resolve this
type of conflict.
Your initial response should be 250 – 300
Research two cases from the state of Florida: one case should be the court’s ruling on a motion for summary judgment, and the other should be the court’s ruling in a case where a party requested a mistrial. Explain each case in the forum, and for each case include the following:
Cases are not always clear-cut. Therefore, in your reply to your classmates this week, you should provide an alternative argument to the stance your classmate took in one of their cases presented. If your classmate agrees with the ruling, you should point out reasons that the case could have been ruled differently. If your classmate opposes the court’s ruling, you should advance arguments why the court “got it right.”
Should be approximately 15-20 pages in length (excluding title page, table of contents, spreadsheets and other exhibits, and list of references). ). It should be double spaced with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Use APA format for references and citations.
I will attached the previous milestones that cover all the points, it needs to be reworded.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Executive Summary: Briefly summarize the key points of your proposal, giving the loan committee the most essential information while convincing them to read further. Remember this is the first, and sometimes the only, section a selection committee will read in an initial screening. II. Investment Project: Use this section to describe the investment for which you are seeking funding, its costs, and time frame. Specifically, you should: A. Describe the investment project. Be sure to provide sufficient detail to give the loan committee a firm sense of the parameters of the activity, the need for it, and what financial metrics are relevant for determining success. In other words, what do you propose to do, where, what marketplace need will it fill, and how will you measure success? B. Specify the resources the project will require and where these resources will come from. In addition to noting the amount of the loan you are requesting, you should also consider human resources, facilities, government approvals, intellectual property, access to natural resources, and other resources that might be required to carry out the project. C. Time frame. When will the project start, what is the anticipated economic life of the proposed expansion, and how will you decide if, when, or how to exit? Justify your choices with appropriate financial metrics. III. Justification: In this section, you should analyze the impact of the investment proposal on your business. In particular, you should cover: A. Why is now a good time for this investment given the global context? Justify your response, citing specific external factors such as trade regulations, foreign currency considerations, or trends in foreign direct investment that might affect business financial decisions. B. Strategic fit. Use this section to discuss why the investment proposal makes sense for your company strategically. Specifically: 1. How does the investment align with the company’s organizational and financial priorities? Support your argument with evidence from company reports and financial statement analysis designed to persuade the lender that the investment is a good strategic fit for your company. 2. How does the project fit within the global microeconomic environment? Support your response with evidence. For example, would the expansion tap unmet demand for the company’s key products or services or fill a new niche? How do you know? 3. How does the project build on the organization’s core competencies and comparative advantage? For example, does the company have a strategic advantage in regards to intellectual property, regional expertise, suppliers, or organizational structure? C. Financial impact. This section should discuss the project’s most likely financial implications and the consolidated financial projection with and without the project. Be sure to: 1. Project the incremental, annual, and cumulative cash benefits and outflows associated with the proposed expansion for the next seven to 10 years, using a spreadsheet or other relevant presentation vehicle to support your narrative. Be sure to justify your assumptions and methodology based on sound microeconomic and financial principles. For example, what assumptions have you made about demand, price, volume, capital purchase costs, incremental hiring, and so on? 2. Develop a consolidated financial projection of revenue, pretax income, and cash flow for the overall business, over that same number of years, both with and without the proposed investment. Use a spreadsheet or other relevant presentation vehicle to support your narrative, being sure to describe any relevant assumptions. IV. Risks: Use this section to discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you have planned for those contingencies. In particular: A. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples. B. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example, how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for these risks? C. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. Support your response with specific examples. For example, how competitive is the market you will be entering? How elastic is the price for your product or service? D. Alternate financial scenarios. Use this section to discuss the sensitivity of your financial projections to different scenarios. Be sure to address: 1. How would your projected financial performance change if sales fall 20% short of or are 20% higher than your base assumption? What does your analysis of these two scenarios imply for the proposed investment? Justify your response. 2. What do the net present value, internal rate of return, and payback values from your base scenario and the sales variation scenarios above imply for the proposed investment? Be sure to explain how the time value of money affects your calculations and analysis. V. Financing: In this section, compare the proposed loan to alternative financing methods. Specifically: A. Weigh the pros and cons of raising money using internal financing mechanisms versus seeking funding through global capital markets via loans, commercial paper, bonds, or equity financing. Which might be viable alternatives should the loan not be approved? Support your answer with appropriate research and evidence. B. Assess the viability of a business combination as a mechanism for expanding into the new market. Is this a reasonable option for the company? Why or why not? Support your answer with appropriate research and evidence. VI. Track Record: Use this section to persuade the lender that you are credit-worthy. You must: A. Convincingly argue that your organization is on solid financial footing, and thus at a low risk for default, supporting your argument recent with appropriate financial statements, ratios, and other indicators of financial performance and health. B. Convincingly argue for your organization’s trustworthiness, providing credible evidence of legal and ethical financial behavior. For example, this might include recent audit results; credit history; absence of significant lawsuits, recalls, or regulatory judgments; or other evidence designed to show that the company holds itself to the highest legal and ethical standards. VII. Questions and Answers: End your proposal by constructing a persuasive, evidence-based question-and-answer section that addresses additional financial questions you think the loan committee might ask, including legal and ethical concerns and why the loan would be attractive to the bank.
