...hackers can access the most well protected computer (Roberton, 2008). The most popular tools the hackers use are Back door remote administrative programs and Denial of Service (DoS) Back door remote works through an uploaded exe file on a website that seems to be trusted. This software is usually spread between pcs. The infected pc communicates with someone via email at a work computer. The infected pc infects the work pc and the virus spread. This is similar to the situation at JP Morgan Chase. The hackers where able to get through via an employee. The FBI is involved because as the writers says the attempted hacking should have stopped but they believe other holes in the system were left unprotected (Goldstein, 2014). The type of breach at Chase was a simple backdoor process which gained the hacker’s access to approximately 90 servers. The breach was discovered but it also uncovered a vulnerability in the infrastructure of a large bank that has challenges protecting their servers on a day to day basis (Krebs, 2014) Denial of Service causes your pc to crash or become busy processing useless data, it ignores the breach going on. This is what happened with Home Depot and Target. The Malware was...

Before we get into the technicalities of either operating system, let’s examine the environment that these two systems evolved from, or the culture from whence they came, if you will. “Corporate culture pertains to the identity and personality of the company we work with, either in the private or public sectors. All companies have a culture; a way they behave and operate. They may be organized and disciplined or chaotic and unstructured. Either way, this is the culture the company has elected to adopt” Brice, (2012). “Microsoft may appear to some people as a company without culture, but that impression changes upon entering the Sigma Building, which houses Microsoft Research Asia.

The marketing environment surrounds and impacts upon the organization. There are three key perspectives on the marketing environment, namely the 'macro-environment,' the 'micro-environment' and the 'internal environment'. [pic][pic][pic][pic][pic] The micro-environment This environment influences the organization directly. It includes suppliers that deal directly or indirectly, consumers and customers, and other local stakeholders. Micro tends to suggest small, but this can be misleading. In this context, micro describes the relationship between firms and the driving forces that control this relationship. It is a more local relationship, and the firm may exercise a degree of influence. The macro-environment This includes all factors that can influence and organization, but that are out of their direct control. A company does not generally influence any laws (although it is accepted that they could lobby or be part of a trade organization). It is continuously changing, and the company needs to be flexible to adapt. There may be aggressive competition and rivalry in a market. Globalization means that there is always the threat of substitute...

The company’s main activities involve upstream and downstream oil exploration, it also produces and distributes oil mainly in the North Sea. Statoil Fuel & Retail's other products include stationary energy, marine fuel, aviation fuel, lubricants and chemicals. Statoil Fuel and Retail employs approximately 17,500 individuals; including individuals employed at Statoil Fuel & Retail’s retail sites across Europe, in its corporate headquarters, its eight regional headquarters and its terminals and depots. With Oil prices currently dropping below $30 a barrel, today companies like Statoil are now considerably worse off than they were in the darkest hours in their entire history. As oil prices continue to fall there is a global tendency for companies, especially in the oil industry, to prioritize for short-term earning rather than long term value creation. From the case, we find the management under the leadership of Einar Eng who understood that the company needed to take steps to enhance the expertise and tenure of valuable human resources to better position his company for the future. Mr. Eng thought of a recommendation to steer the committee to information technology (IT) which stands to be a major initiative of boosting the employees’ knowledge of IT and their ability to use the technology especially...

As the trend for homeworking continues much of their new business is in supplying office materials to individuals working from home. Currently offering some 18,000 different product lines in store and 39,000 via catalogue ordering, it intends to double its product turnover in the next three years by increasing its web-based ordering capabilities. With the marketing strapline ‘you need it we’ve got it’, Warbings aims to make office supply shopping as easy as possible for customers. Priding itself on being a ‘thoroughly modern company with old traditions,’ Warbings has used technology to evolve into a customer-focused business, striving to give each customer a ‘personal service second to none,’ with a variety of different, but easily accessible, ways of ordering and receiving products tailored to their individual needs. The more cynical of their staff occasionally reflect that the customers even dictate the lavatory breaks and bedtimes of the Warbings’ employees. Graffiti on one of the depot walls, that intriguingly reappears every time it is removed, says ‘you need it we bleed it’ and occasionally ‘Wosp stings’.

...Case study Introduction On October 25, 2005, the US-based Dell Computers (Dell), a leading PC manufacturer in the world, announced that Foo Piau Phang (Phang) would retire as the President of Dell China. According to analysts, Phang retired due to less than forecasted sales in China and the lower than projected results from Dell's direct sales model in that country. Bill Amelio (Amelio), the Chief of Dell Asia Pacific, underplayed the nature of Dell's problems in China, saying, "I simply think (the talk of problems in China) is because we had two quarters in a row, as a company, where we didn't quite meet the expectations of analysts."4 By the third quarter of 2005-06, Dell's market share in China had slipped to 7.5% from 8.2% in the second quarter. However, the unit sales of Dell China grew by 46% and revenue by 29% during the third quarter as compared to the third quarter of 2004-05. According to Analysys International, "The market share of international giant Dell dropped due to the weak sales power in small cities, the SME market and fierce competition The other factor that led to the erosion of Dell's market share was fierce competition from Lenovo and HP in the middle and lower end of the market. Dell entered China in 1995, and was successful in capturing the urban markets and corporate customers. The company was able to use its direct sales model successfully in these markets. By 2004, the urban markets had reached saturation and Dell failed to gauge the increasing...

...CASE STUDY #1: Ecotourism Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of many economies in the world since it is able to generate needed foreign exchange. It is important to distinguish between two types of tourism: mass or resort tourism and ecotourism. Nature-based tourism involves traveling for recreational purposes. Ecotourism, on the other hand involves traveling to undisturbed natural site for conservation and education which are also known as ecological, environmental, nature, green, sustainable tourism. Ecotourism, short form for Ecological Tourism, is defined as “purposeful travel that creates an understanding of cultural and natural history, while safeguarding the integrity of the ecosystem and producing economic benefits that encourage conservation.” Using case studies, this paper demonstrates the positives and negatives of ecotourism and the implications for the future. Ecotourism, deemed as a tool for sustainability and development, is growing at an increasing rate. With education as a primary goal, ecotourism can teach both tourists and local people the value of environment and culture and help develop a nature-conscience lifestyle. Ecotourism brings employment benefits to often previously disadvantaged rural populations. The expansion of ecotourism has undeniably boosted Nepal’s overall economic development with tourism revenues. For example, in the Langtang Ecotourism Project, established in 1996, describes the Nepalese women effort in proactively...

Management Snapshot Different Approaches to Management at The Home Depot and Lowe’s: What Is High-Performance Management? Home Depot shot to fame when its founders, Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, developed a new concept for a home improvement store. Their vision was to fill a warehouse-type store from floor to ceiling with a wide range of lowpriced products and to provide excellent customer service. Home Depot’s well-informed salespeople offered customers knowledgeable advice and they even conducted classes showing do-it-yourselfers how to install bathrooms or tile floors, for example. According to Home Depot’s founders, even the stores’ somewhat “scruffy” appearance was deliberate because Marcus and Blank wanted them to look like busy warehouses to assure customers they were getting rock bottom prices.1 During 1979, Marcus and Blank opened...
