...methodologies exist for performing a pen test; however, we will be using the Penetration Test Execution Standard framework (PTES) to execute the assessment. PTES consists of seven guidelines to follow during an evaluation: Pre-Engagement Interactions occurred when management approved conducting a pen test of the network. Additionally, we have defined the scope of the project, including the goals of the assessment, which tools will be used to conduct the evaluation and how long it will take to complete the penetration test. Intelligence Gathering entails collecting as much information about the network as possible to use during the vulnerability analysis and exploitation phases of the assessment. Specifically,...

...Stationary Test (Unit Root Test) Nelson and Plosser (1982) argue that almost all macroeconomic time series one typically uses have a unit root. The presence or absence of unit roots helps to identify some features of the underlying data generating process of a series. In the absence of unit root (stationary), the series fluctuates around a constant long-run mean and implies that the series has a finite variance which does not depend on time. On the other hand, non- stationary series have no tendency to return to the long-run deterministic path and the variance of the series is time dependent. Non-stationary series suffer permanent effects from random shocks and thus the series follows a random walk. If the series is non-stationary and the first...

...today decisions that we take in the company. Profit sharing: The employees determine the profit share that they should get and also decide how to split it. It creates the feeling of ownership, says semler. Employees enjoy 25 % of company’s total profit. It directly affects their efficiency. The way of working is different by the employees when they have a sense of ownership. Profit sharing give them a reason to do things better. They work more sincerely and with more effort. In this way employees themselves can decide that what they will get at the end of the year. Free flow of information: Each piece of information is available to everybody. Nothing is kept as secret. Every employee is trained how to read a balance sheet, how different units in the organization works. Information tells people what’s working in the organization and what’s not. Everybody in company have access to the company’s books. Only one set of books wa there which was open for inspection and audit. The executives don’t want employees to think that they were holding back any sort of information. Organizational culture inception: In...

...THE EFFECT OF SAVINGS RATE IN CANADA The impact of savings rate in an economic has become a very conflicting issue in research and among economist all over the world. This may be due to the importance of savings generally to the economic growth and development of any nation. However, the structure of every economy cannot be generalised by a particular economics’ variation because various countries have different social security and pension schemes, and different tax systems, all of which have an effect on disposable income. In addition, the age of a country’s population, the availability and ease of credit, the overall wealth, and cultural and social factors within a country all affect savings rates within a particular country. Therefore, this paper seeks to find the effect of savings in the Canadian economy. Household saving is defined as the difference between a household’s disposable incomes mainly wages received, revenue of the self-employed and net property income and its consumption (expenditures on goods and services). The household savings rate is calculated by dividing household savings by household disposable income. A negative savings rate indicates that a household spends more than it receives as regular income and finances some of the expenditure through credit (increasing debt), through gains arising from the sale of assets (financial or non-financial), or by running down cash and deposits. Since the early-to-mid-1990s, savings rates have been stable in some...

...Assessed Coursework (Pre-set Tutorial Questions) The objective of this assessment is to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate that they are working continuously throughout the session to achieve the learning outcomes of the unit. This assessment is based on students’ completion of pre-set tutorial questions on a weekly basis and their effort in attempting additional questions in class. Case Study/Report: Group Based Research Report The objective of this assessment is to encourage students to analyse published academic research papers, to locate and research profiles of organisations globally, and demonstrate understanding of a range of theoretical concepts relating to organisational planning and controls, as they apply to these organisations. Given that research is often conducted in teams, this assessment is done in groups so that students can appreciate the different perspectives of others, engage in planning and organising, and effectively participate in a team to execute an assigned task. Class Tests Final Examination The objective of this assessment is to encourage students to continually learn and master important concepts and techniques covered each week. Class Tests also provide...

...CONSTRUCTION OF UNIT ROOT TESTS WITH GOOD SIZE AND POWER Serena Ng Pierre Perron y This Draft: February 1998 It is widely known that when there are negative moving average errors, a high order augmented autoregression is necessary for unit root tests to have good size, but that information criteria such as the AIC and BIC tend to select a truncation lag that is very small. Furthermore, size distortions increase with the number of deterministic terms in the regression. We trace these problems to the fact that information criteria omit important biases induced by a low order augmented autoregression. We consider a class of Modi ed Information Criteria MIC , de ned as mink ln^ 2 + CT T k + k =T, where T k accounts for the fact that the bias in k the sum of the autoregressive coe cients is highly dependent on k. Using a local asymptotic framework in which the root of an MA 1 process is local to -1, we show that the MIC allows for added dependence between k and the number of deterministic terms in the regression. Most importantly, the k selected by the recommended MAIC with CT = 2 is such that both its level and rate of increase with the sample size are desirable for unit root tests in the local asymptotic framework, whereas the AIC, MBIC and especially the BIC with CT = ln T are less attractive in at least one dimension. In monte-carlo experiments, the MAIC is found to yield huge size improvements to the DF GLS and the feasible point optimal PT test developed in Elliott...

...if the team set out to have a winning record, and failed, the season would not be considered successful. Success, no matter how big or small the goals are, can only be grasped through the attaining of those goals. Success must also be sought after. For anyone to have success, they must fight and strive for it. If a secretary of a large corporation worked her way up the ladder through hard work and sacrifice, she would be a success. On the other hand, if a secretary had a friend who got her a job at the top, she would not be looked upon as a success. There must be a desire for improvement and a commitment to achieve success. It cannot be handed out or paid for. If a student worked hard on homework, read the material, and did well on the test, they would be successful. The desire to...
