The following report is a security assessment on Aircraft Solutions and the primary objective in this assessment is to identify the existence of vulnerabilities present within the global context of Aircraft Solutions’ operations. An evaluation of the associated threats will be deduced, accompanied by the exposed weaknesses. This will be followed by an analysis of the degree of risk present. Finally, there will be a focus on the consideration of the consequences resulting from revealing of potential threats. Assessment Hardware and policy will be the main focus of this investigation. It will be narrowed down more to hardware issues. It is very curious that there is no firewall implemented between the commercial division and the Internet. The Defense Department must be routed through Headquarters, but the Commercial department is connected straight to the Internet. This is a significant vulnerability. The second weakness that will be...

...steps from the text. The Problem and Why My current position consists of managing people and ensuring a multi-million dollar asset performs at its best. By doing so, we as a team must keep up with the constant change in occupancy, income, and renewals. These three things keep the asset flowing, which can be an issue at times; especially when having a demanding boss who seems to care less when your asset is in need. This trickles down to my staff and then on to the residents. As the text mentions, “a manager realizes some discrepancy between the current state (the way things are) and a desired state (the way things ought to be)”(Bateman & Snell, 2009, p. 89). As manager of this asset, I am aware of the current state; which in this case is performance. As of now our occupancy, income, and renewals are high in a numbers sense which is fantastic. However, within a few months numbers normally decrease as shown in our historical information. This is mainly due to extra monies or income residents have in the beginning of the year that changes/decreases by mid-year. Therefore, the constant...

Assuming the information you gave me is correct (more on this later), R and C are irrelevant to the problem. Given the information you provided, it seems safe to assume that C < $15, 000.∗ Even assuming the worst, R ≥ $12, 000 and C = $0, the option of waiting has a greater expected value than the decision to harvest now: $35,640 versus $34,200.† If the worst is not true (i.e., R < $12, 000 or C > $0), the the option of waiting is even more valuable. Consequently, unless you strongly dislike risk, you should wait to harvest. Your expected gain from waiting is at least 4% (worst-case scenario). If the very best-case scenario in which the node (labeled as ①) is worth $28,200 (see Technical Appendix for underlying calculations), your expected gain would be at least 18%.

...Business Impact Analysis Objectives The purpose of the business impact analysis (BIA) is to identify which business units/departments and processes are essential to the survival of _____________. The BIA will identify how quickly essential business units and/or processes have to return to full operation following a disaster situation. The BIA will also identify the resources required to resume business operations. Business impacts are identified based on worst-case Scenario that assumes that the physical infrastructure supporting each respective business unit has been destroyed and all records, equipment, etc. are not accessible for 30 days. Please note that the BIA will not address recovery solutions. The objectives of the BIA are as follows: • Estimate the financial impacts for each business unit, assuming a worst case scenario. • Estimate the intangible (operational) impacts for each business unit, assuming a worst-case scenario. • Identify the organization’s business unit processes and the estimated recovery time frame for each business unit. Policy Each Facility Business Continuity Planner shall perform a BIA on all business processes to determine the criticality of these processes to ______________ and to determine what the impacts are to the organization if those processes were interrupted. It shall identify the business process availability Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), business process Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs), key business...

...ALTERNATIVES We had come out two alternatives in order to help Sindy solve the dilemma she faced. The first alternative is expanding her business into middle and senior level segment after 2 years. By expanding the business, Sindy will able to get more profit. This is because the revenue that she will get from senior staff positions is higher compare to junior staff positions. The second alternative that we suggest is doing nothing. Doing nothing means that Sindy have to continue on what she do now and just focusing on the blue collar and junior staff positions. Alternative 1: Expand the business into middle and senior level segment after 2 years. Since on the first year of operation, Sindy are able to get an amazing profit as well as recovered all her investment in the business, there will be no problem for her to expand her business widely after two years. The reason we want Sindy to expand her business after 2 years, not after 1 year is because we want Sindy to gain more business knowledge and on the same time, save some money so that she will able to hire more sales people, HR professional and pay for leasehold improvement. In two years before expanding her business, it is important for Sindy to learn more on the recruiting agency business since she have to face a very competitive environment once she enters the middle and senior level segment. She will have to compete with various competitors which some of them may be a big company and have more experience in doing...

...public image. A continuity plan has many benefits. These benefits can show the leadership within the company the strengths and weaknesses. This can allow adulterations in a company that can either drastically improve situations or could potentially make things worse. In all reality, it’s always beneficial to understand where the weak links in the chain are currently. In the creation and finalization of the continuity plan, there can be assessments made that can highlight employees that are lacking, resources that are being utilized too much and or too little, and strategies that might be misdirecting. The point of the matter is that a continuity plan can highlight main defects within a company and prepare a company for the worst case scenario. Everything can go right, the most important and memorable thing is how a company acts when everything goes...

...this, I don’t have to deal with the same stressor multiple times. I can deal with it once and move on to something else. Another method that I had not utilized in the past, but started utilizing in the first journal, was the deep breathing technique. Trying to slow my breathing and heart rate down and calming myself down made it easier to deal with the stressor immediately. By calming myself and getting my heart rate in check, I’m able to clearly speak about what I need and what the problem is. This especially comes in handy when dealing with the general public. Calming myself down is a great way to more effectively deal with the stressor and conquer the issue in a more timely manner. I’ve also been able to not think about worst case scenarios all of the time when dealing with...

...Analyse and evaluate the usefulness of a Break-Even analysis for a business. 14 marks A break even analysis is an analysis made by the entrepreneur of a business based on the cost of production and the predicted sales that will be made. The point at which the amount of sales meets the production costs is known as the breakeven point. Businesses aim to have a low breakeven point, so it isn’t too difficult to make a profit, the goal of any private-sector business. However, there are several constraints to using a break-even analysis. The first and main constraint is that it is just a prediction based upon what could happen in the future with the business. There are no actual sales figures for the time period that the analysis is covering, and, for this reason, makes it being a prediction a major constraint. Alongside this, the assumption that all products are sold is very unrealistic in business, for example trends may change which would reduce demand, or a competitor may be able to produce the same products for a cheaper price, which would mean that not all of the products would be sold. A third and final constraint of the analysis is that it oversimplifies business. It makes business appear to be an easy world to crack, for example making assumptions about costs may be optimistic because the entrepreneur knows the level of profit that they want from the business, which would reduce the reliability of the analysis, and, in turn make it less useful, because the assumptions would...

...BUS 410 Moritz Straube, Mario Pacheco, Alex Rutherford, Haitham Al Najjar Prof. Bresciani P & G Case Study Mount Everest Humans often feel the need to conquer Earth and explore it to the fullest. Among the biggest challenges the planet has for humans, stands the quest to climb Mount Everest. At almost 9,000 meters above sea level, in between Nepal and Tibet, the quest to climb Mount Everest has become the point of no return for some climbers and the ultimate conquest for other climbers. Since May 29, 1953 up to December 1996, 846 persons had conquered successfully Mount Everest Climbing Mount Everest became available to the public through entrepreneurs who were visionary enough to apply their passion to their profits in the year of 1996. Such is the case of Hall, founder of Adventure Consultants and Fischer, founder of Mountain Madness; each one of them had a passion for climbing and a vision for profit from leading teams to the top of Mount Everest, the summit. Together they both lead the largest commercial expeditions. Their experiences of their journey, which began in May 6, 1996, can be used to discuss different aspects of international organizational behavior. Leadership, communication, organizational structure, and visualization are key aspects of organizational behavior for businesses worldwide which are also related to the quest of conquering Mount Everestf. Hall and Fischer began as leaders of their organizations. Their climbing experiences are...

...The Sonic Plaza is protected by the 1990 Federal Artist Rights Act which is a subset of the copyright law. Therefore, the piece has to be maintained in perpetuity since it is officially considered part of American and North Carolinian culture. It’s very instance, there are computers to maintain and upgrade, software to be written, and components to replace and possibly design. There are many ways to improve the whole system like, the sonic gates could more sync with the steps. They could use weight sensors on the steps which would allow the Arduino to sync with music system. This would allow the weight of person to activate the music system instead of person crossing the sonic gates. Water Wall functions on the solenoid contracting and release mechanism. Usually solenoids tend to get worn out .One way to improve is by changing the mechanism they work, using opto-isolator circuit. This will help eliminate noise and safe some voltage when solenoid contracts. Each of these operations uses a different form of technology, as the glockenspiel uses a MDI sensor. MDI is a port on a hub or switch used to connect to other switches without requiring crossover cables. The other type of software is the Arduino sensor, which is an open-source computer hardware company that design and manufactures kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world. DMI and Arduino are both sensors but DMI is programmed based on timing of the day, whereas...

...What to Never Eat After Your Workout By Cassandra Forsythe-Pribanic, PhD, RD, CSCS & Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS Introduction Nutrition: To some people, it's just a nine-letter word synonymous with food and dieting.
