...Considering the recent attack it is imperative for Gem Infosys to have a plan in place for incident-response / operational readiness in the event of an info security breach. This policy is to coincide with our current group and policies and procedures while expanding on how Gem Infosys will develop an incident-response team (interchangeably IRT), disaster recovery process (interchangeably DRP)and business-continuity plan (interchangeably BCP). The goal is for this to be considered a blueprint / foundation in the event Gem Infosys must deploy resources out in the event of an incident and even more importantly the steps and procedures so that down time is at a near zero time during such security risk. Even though “It takes the enterprise some time to assess the exact effects of the disaster” (Disaster Recovery: Best Practices, 2008). Gem Infosys’ is a small software company with a smaller computing environment currently consist of 10 pc’s, and 6 servers that range from file servers, web servers, and AD servers. At present there is a firewall protecting the network but from running an analysis of response time after the recent attack it took responders 6 hours to realize the breach, 24 hours to determine all the components that have been breached and an additional 24 hours to resolve the issue. This length of response time resulted in Gem Infosys networks being down for 48 complete hours (2 business days). This downtime resulted in great corporate loss and was quite costly...

...Cold Equations Everybody must deal with "Cold Equations" in his or her life. Whether it is death, heartbreak, having to go to school, crime, violence, family, all of us must come to grips with things we can't change. The author from this novel "Cold Equations" is trying to teach us that nature is unforgiving and no one can avoid it. Death is a cruel part of law of nature, it can take away someone's life and won't care about it. Everybody has to deal with the laws of nature, sometime in their life, we just have to deal with it and hope everything goes good. The laws of nature is always in a person's life, everybody copes with the inevitable and has to deal with their problems and the things we can't change. Everyone should enjoy their life to the fullest and don’t take any moment of your life for granted, because laws of nature could simply take everything away. The space frontier is desolate and must abide by the strict, cruel laws of nature. “The laws were, and the universe moved in obedience to them.” This is showing that the laws of nature have no morals; they are how they are and no one can change it. We should tell people how we feel about them when we can. We shouldn’t ignore the little things that we have done and we should tell people we love them, thank them, and say sorry for what we did to hurt them while we still have time. Accidents can happen out of nowhere and take the chances away to tell people how you feel about them. In the "Cold equations" Marilyn was an...

...A GEM of a Study Abstract: The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Entrepreneurial Assessment, a joint project of The Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at Babson College (now Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship) and The London Business School, has undertaken a long-term, large-scale project to prove the causal links between a government's economic policies and initiatives, the resulting entrepreneurial activity and subsequent economic growth. This case describes multiple-stage research, including thousands of interviews in several countries by established research firms. URLs: www.london.edu www3.babson.edu/eship/aboutblank/ How/When to Use This case deals with the concept of causal studies vs. descriptive studies and what needs to be included in the research design of each study type. It also deals with what constitutes control in research design; in this context it is best used with chapters 6-9. This is also a great case to use to discuss constructs vs. concepts (Chapter 3), as Exhibit C-GEM-1.1 clearly has struggled with defining numerous constructs and multiple-measurement variables and, therefore, could be used to further explore text Exhibit 3-1. The case also mentions the use of standardized data; in this context you could use the case to explore how "standardized" data from different countries really is and where the student seeks such country-specific data. Discussion Questions: 1. What are the independent and dependent variables in this...

...FINANCE & ACCOUNTING Should HSBC Stay or Should It Go? by David Champion MARCH 17, 2011 London-based HSBC, arguably the world’s most global bank, recently described speculation that it was planning to shift its headquarters from London to Hong Kong as “presumptuous.” Well, maybe, but whenever you hear a politician denying that he will resign, you nearly always end up seeing him resign a week later. But the kerfuffle raises a more interesting question: Does it really matter if HSBC moves its HQ from London? After all, HSBC is not proposing to close its British operations. What is so special about where a global organization headquarters itself? Well, obviously it can affect a business’s tax bill. That, though, is a largely technical issue, because your nominal headquarters need not be your operational one. What we are really talking about is whether it matters where your key decisions are made or where your CEO makes spends most time. It probably wouldn’t matter much if your operations were really evenly distributed across the world. If that were the case, you could pick and choose from the various reasons a taxefficient locality that was an attractive place for senior executives to move their families to. But as Pankaj Ghemawat points out in his forthcoming World 3.0 (HBR Press, April 2011), very few firms are truly global in the sense that their business isn’t concentrated in any one spot. He notes that as recently as 2004, less than one percent...

...Monthly Update | March 2011 April 4, 2011 Yaresh Kothari +91 22 39357800 Ext: 6844 yareshb.kothari@angelbroking.com Automobile Sector Steady growth Automakers maintained their strong volume momentum in March 2011, recording double-digit sales growth. Despite expectations of a slowdown in demand due to higher interest rates and product price increases, volume growth remained buoyant on the back of positive consumer sentiment and heavy discounts offered by OEMs and dealers to clear their year-end inventory. Among the majors, Maruti, Hero Honda, TVS Motor and Ashok Leyland reported better-than-expected numbers for the month. Going ahead, however, hikes in product prices, increased fuel price along with higher interest rates would be the major headwinds that could impact performance of the players. Tata Motors (TML) reported 10.9% yoy (7.5% mom) growth in total volumes, led by better-than-expected numbers in the commercial vehicles (CV) segment. Growth in the CV segment was led by a bounce back in M&HCV and LCV sales, which registered strong growth of 11.8% (30.6% mom) and 23.1% yoy (15.7% mom), respectively. In the PV segment, TML reported a 0.4% yoy (12.9% mom) drop in offtake, largely due to a 40.3% yoy (30.9% mom) decline in Indica dispatches. Nano volumes remained strong, posting 84.9% yoy growth. Ashok Leyland (ALL) posted better-than-expected numbers during the month, registering a strong 20.9% yoy (24.2% mom) increase in volumes to 12,168 units. Volume growth during...

...The Problem In 2006 it became apparent that Mountain Valley Middle School students were not achieving at an adequate level in Literacy. The school joined the Western Maine Literacy Initiative and set the goal to develop and teach research-based strategies intended to help the students navigate non-fiction text in all classes. The 2007 and 2008 Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) results showed steady growth in the area of literacy. When the results were released in 2009 only 4% of eighth grade students did not meet literacy standards with 81% meeting and an unprecedented 18% exceeding the standards. The data from the 2009 NECAP showed only 42% of Mountain Valley Middle School students were achieving at the proficient benchmark in math. The NECAP data also indicated students were not adequately responding to constructed response questions. It was decided for the 2010-11 school year that dedicated research and implementation of strategies and instructional methods would be put into place to drive toward better instruction in mathematics. Students would also be taught tools to better navigate short answer and constructed response questions. The RTI initiative was viewed as a good place to start making pedagogical changes to the school environment to make the necessary changes that would allow students to be more successful in their learning endeavors. School Profile Mountain Valley Middle School (MVMS) is located in the town of Mexico, Maine. It is part of the Region School...

On 29 March 2011 CONARTIST assigned to ACME the right to receive the remaining two payments, of. Since that time no payment has been made by BETA to ACME. In the case of the payment due upon commissioning on site, BETA paid it to CONARTIST on 19 April 2011, i.e., nine days after having received notice of the assignment. BETA has claimed that the notice was defective in form. These objections are manifestly unfounded. In the case of the payment due after three months satisfactory performance, BETA has refused to pay it at all. When ACME was assigned the right to payment under the contract between BETA and CONARTIST, it was necessarily assigned the right to enforce its rights in the same manner as the assignor, CONARTIST, would have had....

...1990’s. Companies, such as Expedia commenced as airline ticket purchasing systems but have grown to encompass plane, hotel and car reservations. This has had huge implications for the ‘bricks and mortar’ hotel, airline and car rental businesses and their consumers. Recent developments in this industry include Expedia taking over its long-time rival Travelocity and, in Australia, wotif.com.au reporting flatter than expected growth figures, due largely to the strong Australian dollar. Borders In February 2011, Borders Inc. filed to restructure under bankruptcy protection in the US. In July 2011, it announced it was liquidating all its remaining stores. The demise of Borders occurred even though a sizable portion of the book business was still taking place in actual stores at that time, rather than moving to digital sales and e-books. For example, Barnes and Noble, as the US’s largest book retailer, did not have to close any of its 700 US stores. Toyota Between 2009 and 2011, Toyota, the world’s largest and most profitable car maker was forced into a series of damaging recalls, involving over five million vehicles. It was also forced to suspend sales of many of its bestselling models, until issues with faulty floor mats and gas pedals could be resolved.
