...Secure Data Sharing in the Cloud Danan Thilakanathan, Shiping Chen, Surya Nepal and Rafael A. Calvo 1 Introduction Cloud systems [1, 2] can be used to enable data sharing capabilities and this can provide an abundant of benefits to the user. There is currently a push for IT organisations to increase their data sharing efforts. According to a survey by InformationWeek [3], nearly all organisations shared their data somehow with 74 % sharing their data with customers and 64 % sharing with suppliers. A fourth of the surveyed organisations consider data sharing a top priority. The benefits organisations can gain from data sharing is higher productivity. With multiple users from different organisations contributing to data in the Cloud, the time and cost will be much less compared to having to manually exchange data and hence creating a clutter of redundant and possibly out-of-date documents. With social networking services such as Facebook, the benefits of sharing data are numerous [4] such as the ability to share photos, videos, information and events, creates a sense of enhanced enjoyment in one’s life and can enrich the lives of some people as they are amazed at how many people are interested in their life and well-being.

Currently the majority of Australian whiskey distillers export the majority of their manufactured products overseas to the overseas market including Europe and North America however, the amount of whiskey exported is only a small amount of global whiskey market and in comparison to the large multinationals companies (Australian Whiskies 2012). What has lead to the current market success of Australian whiskey distillers in the global markets has been to the high quality nature of the whiskeys that has been globally recognised winning prestigious awards in the industry (Australian Whiskey Guide 2012).

...Strengths Key Factor-Innovation Apple has been the leader in technological innovation with the release of such products as the MacBook Computers, iPods, iPads, iPhone and more recently the announcement of iTV. According to the 2012 Global Innovation 1000 conducted by Booz & Company, Apple ranked number 1 for the 3rd year in a row. Although many may feel that innovation is about creating new products all the time, Apple’s idea of innovation is about creating quality products (Krasnv, 2013). By building on their strength over the years to create quality products they have also built a foundation as lead innovators and constantly change the technological game with their products. Key Factor-Brand As a leader in innovation, Apple has also secured their brand value by constantly creating products that are well designed but also by understanding that brand is less about the logo and more about aligning the business strategy and employee base with the ability to influence how the consumer felt about the product. This factor is demonstrated by the fact that at least half of every U.S. household own one Apple product minimum despite the price of their products (Gralnick, 2012). Although not infallible, brand power does reflect a company’s marketing ability and Apple has shown the world that they have marketing power by ranking number two behind Coca Cola in 2012 as Best Global Brands with their percentage rising 129% and a brand value of $76.5 million (Reid, 2012).

The earthquake gave rise to a Tsunami which hit the Fukushima nuclear reactor run by The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The disaster escalated by triggering a series of power and equipment failures, explosions, nuclear meltdowns and release of radioactive material. The disaster was regarded as a manmade disaster which could have been avoided with appropriate human response as stated by the chairman of NAIIC, Professor Kiyoshi Kurokawa (Bloomberg, 2012). TEPCO lacked a sense of responsibility to ensure safety and protection to the people effected by the disaster. The nuclear incident was caused by poor earthquake safety planning and faulty post-tsunami communication. The collusion between TEPCO and the regulators resulted in there being no separation of atomic regulation and promotion which led to nuclear power become unstoppable force immune to scrutiny. TEPCO, government and the regulators failed to develop the most basic safety requirements like assessing the probability of damage, preparing for containment of collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. The lack of training...

...Human Resource Professional in Employee Relations Karen (K-Kay) Goodman University of Phoenix HRM/323 Employee Relations Tobie Gunby, MA, PHR March 3, 2012 Within today’s workplace conflict among its associates, remain to be a consistent and reccurring problem, which no matter how hard a manager may try continues to be unavoidable. As organizations strive to become more team-oriented and achieve goals to remain, successful there are still issues or situations that arise that if not handeled properly could affect the long term goals and aspirations of an organization. There is a variety of reasons for this, but the most prevalent reasons are the failure to define an associate’s responsibity, the lack of resources to enable associates to perform his or her tasks adequately, and a conflict of interest amongst team members. One common complaint heard constantly throughout the workplace is what are my actual responsibilities? There continues to be a struggle in clearly defining individual associate roles within in a team because of performance among key team members, his or her attitudes, or willingness to work cohesively as a team therefore causing conflict either among the team or with management. If not addressed appropriately the situation can begin to spiral out oc control and take on the appearance of babysitting unruly children instead of working with grown adults (Rau-Foster, 2000). Due to the economy, many organizations have found it necessary to cut back...

...Present The Drapers 2012 Retail Forecast Sarah Curran, founder of etailer My-Wardrobe and Meg Lustman, managing director of womenswear chain Warehouse both state how consumers will become cautious in their purchasing habits therefore retailers must provide the right product. This is proven to be true, as consumers are looking to buy essential products that are long lasting with quality being the key incentive to purchase. Furthermore, they stated that providing exceptional customer service and enticing the customer with extra services and excitement is a must for 2012. This has been demonstrated with John Lewis sitting amongst the most admired retailers of 2012 according to ‘The Drapers Market Report 2012’ for their exceptional customer service and how they embrace the multichannel attitude by targeting the right consumer, providing them with the right product online and in store. Fiona Lambert, brand director at supermarket brand George at Asda who stated ‘customers will buy investment pieces’, made a further opinion on product quality. Mark Bage, co-owner of York premium indie Sarah Coggles stated ‘the move from disposable fashion to investment statement pieces by customers will continue to change the high street.’ This was proven to be true as J Brand leather leggings priced at £875 sold out in 48 hours. We are still in a recession, however consumers are looking to purchase on trend, quality products. Many agree that being a multi channel retailer is key, providing multi-platforms...

...combinations of overlapping and complementary controls. For instance, physical access controls for protected facilities are generally intended to: • deter potential intruders (e.g. warning signs and perimeter markings); • distinguish authorized from unauthorized people (e.g. using pass cards/badges and keys) • delay and ideally prevent intrusion attempts (e.g. strong walls, door locks and safes); • detect intrusions and monitor/record intruders (e.g. intruder alarms and CCTV systems); and • trigger appropriate incident responses (e.g. by security guards and police). It is up to security designers to balance security controls against risks, taking into account the costs of specifying, developing, testing, implementing, using, managing, monitoring and maintaining the controls. Physical access control is a matter of who, where, and when. An access control system determines who is allowed to enter or exit, where they are allowed to exit or enter, and when they are allowed to enter or exit. Historically this was partially accomplished through keys and locks. When a door is locked only someone with a key can enter through the door depending on how the lock is configured. Mechanical locks and keys do not allow restriction of...

The industry is heavily reliant on casual labour with part-time and casual employees making up almost three quarters of the hospitality workforce in Tasmania2. The role and contribution of the industry to both the economy and community is largely unrecognised. This is reflected in the fact that only a small proportion of employees perceive hospitality as a long term career choice. As hospitality is a service based industry, a skilled workforce is a key requirement to ensure quality service delivery to both local and visitor markets. In order to provide quality service employees require access to training which delivers the essential skills and knowledge. Access to training is only one element of the equation. Also essential is venue owners and operators placing more value...

...(25th Edition) Executive Summary Broadband infrastructure central to a $1 trillion economy BuddeComm estimates that the overall telecoms services revenue passed the $40 billion mark in 2011, reflecting the mildness of the downturn in Australia compared with other countries. However, as was the case in 2011, growth remains very subdued in 2012. This is attributable to the continued decline in the fixed-line markets and the levelling off of mobile subscriptions, along with reduced pricing from operators attempting to attract increased market share. Overall in 2011 fixed line revenues fell to around $10.5 billion across all operators. Telstra still dominates the Australian telecoms market, although it received just under a 60% market share of total revenues in 2011, well down from the 80% market share it held in the early 2000s. Optus’s share of service revenues continues to stagnate between 20% and 22%. However its wholesale business had a market shift in 2011 and its growth suggests that, even with a subdued market, Optus’s overall share could surpass 23% by 2013. The Vodafone/Hutchison merger, along with the subsequent network issues, has contributed to that company’s market share dropping however, the increasing network expansion could see Vodafone returning to its previous share of total industry revenue..
