In this essay, I will be discussing the different intricacies of a Business Continuity Plan and how to effectively build one to suit the needs of the individual company. The Effects of a Business Continuity Plan on Information System A frog if put in cold water will not bestir itself if that water is heated up slowly and gradually and will in the end let itself be boiled alive, too comfortable with continuity to realize that continuous change at some point may become intolerable and demand a change in behavior. (Handy, 1990) There have been so many companies over the years that have failed due to lack of a proper Business Continuity Plan.

...History of 4G and pre-4G technologies The 4G system was originally envisioned by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).[citation needed[->0]] The DARPA selected the distributed architecture and end-to-end Internet protocol (IP), and believed at an early stage in peer-to-peer networking in which every mobile device would be both a transceiver and a router for other devices in the network, eliminating the spoke-and-hub weakness of 2G and 3G cellular systems.[33][page needed[->1]] Since the 2.5G GPRS system, cellular systems have provided dual infrastructures: packet switched nodes for data services, and circuit switched nodes for voice calls. In 4G systems, the circuit-switched infrastructure is abandoned and only a packet-switched network[->2] is provided, while 2.5G and 3G systems require both packet-switched and circuit-switched network nodes[->3], i.e. two infrastructures in parallel. This means that in 4G, traditional voice calls are replaced by IP telephony. · In 2002, the strategic vision for 4G—which ITU[->4] designated as IMT-Advanced—was laid out. · In 2005, OFDMA[->5] transmission technology is chosen as candidate for the HSOPA[->6] downlink, later renamed 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) air interface E-UTRA[->7]. · In November 2005, KT[->8] demonstrated mobile WiMAX service in Busan, South Korea.[34] · In April 2006, KT[->9] started the world's first commercial mobile WiMAX service in Seoul, South Korea.[35] · In mid-2006, Sprint Nextel[->10] announced...

The main issue with this concept is that it can not be measured, and at the same time is very hard to observe. Bryan Schaffer (2008) identified two principles in link with motivation: it is a function of the individual and the situation, and performance is a function of ability and motivation (which he also links to effort). Donna J. Plonczynski (2000) defined motivation as an “intrinsic determination toward goal attainment”, which is also composed of “components of personality and personal habits that indicate performance”. Humphreys and Einstein (2004) state that most motivation definitions focus on “the notion of enhancing and sustaining effort toward some desired goal-directed behaviour”. According to these findings, we could identify two important dimensions of motivation: individuality and goal. Individuality refers to the diversity of factors affecting...

My essay attempts to show how critical the 4G networks is to our beloved cell phone and other wireless devices. Abstract The 4G Networks In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of mobile communication technology standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standard. While all 4G service is called “4G,” the underlying technology is not the same. Sprint, for example, uses WiMax technology for its 4G network, while Verizon Wireless uses a technology called Long Term Evolution, or LTE. No matter what technology is behind it, 4G wireless is designed to deliver speed. The Origin and Definition of the Term The fourth...
