...reliability of the network could be compromised. Basic beginning steps to implementing a security policy, or preparing, include accessing the jeopardy to the network and creating a response panel. Next we look at the continuation, or prevention, of the network which consists of monitoring the network for violations and a security change management practice for when the policy needs to be updated. The final step for the policy is the review process which goes over past events and incidents, and implementing modifications to the existing policy to adapt these breaches. Each of these steps is essential to the integrity and continuation of a secure network and must be subject to constant observation and change. New types of viruses and attacks are dreamed up on a daily basis, and we need to be prepared to prevent and respond as quickly as possible in order to provide network availability to company employees and needs. Preparation is the groundwork in handling the security measures for a security policy and provides a starting point for an IT team to work with. The preparation stage includes three main components: construction of a usage policy, completion of a risk analysis, and creating a security team. When the usage policy is created, it states each user group and its roles and duties with regards to the network’s security. This can start out as just a broad policy that breaks down the users into...

...Kyle Pignatiello Dr. Titlebaum HSS 358 4 December 2013 Coaches Perspective: Preparing a Team for Success In a world full of coaching changes, conference realignments, and program violations, there are many reasons why a team can be good one year but have a problem sustaining that success in the long term. Maintaining success in college football is difficult because there are many factors that could affect a team. New coaches get hired and existing ones get fired. With each coaching change, there is a chance for change in leadership, which in return could make a program worse or in some cases better. Also, college kids have to deal with their classes and have other off-field distractions to handle. This goes along with the demands that football puts on them. This makes one think whether it is even possible to have sustained success, and if so, such then leads to the question of what is needed to have continued success in college football? To start, one can look at successful programs that have had the most wins. When discussing wins and losses in recent years, what comes to mind is the Southeastern Conference and Alabama Crimson Tide in particular. The SEC has won the last seven national championships, and Alabama has won three of the last four. But, one asks “Is winning football games the only thing that should determine success?” What about the academics and the team’s graduation rate? Those should both be vital parts of “success.” Sadly, coaches are judged and evaluated...

...INTRODUCTION In this segment, the retailer J.C. Penney will be analyzed against the department store retail industry, with particular emphasis placed upon their competitors, Macy’s and Kohl’s. The major components to be discussed will include the general external environment (i.e. demographics, economics, politics, legal requirements, technologies and global expansion), the industry environment, the competitive environment, the driving forces and the key factors for success within the industry. In terms of the general external environment, the retail industry is a multi-trillion dollar business in the United States alone and maintains operations primarily due to consumer spending. Such purchases rely upon the disposable income of consumers and, as a result, the success of the retail industry is directly correlated to the economic status of the country. Due to the recent economic recession in the United States in 2008, customer confidence is not as high as it once was and, as a result, consumers are more price-sensitive in their retail purchases than they once were. As a result, retailers must be incredibly careful in their selection of product mix, their associated retail prices and the promotions they offer. Aside from price and pricing structure, another major component to consider in the retail industry is the domestic and global increase in the use of technology. Such shift in the availability and reliance upon technology has driven retail consumers to be more time sensitive...

...Module Code: PM002 Class/Group: Group C Module Title: Research Design and Critique Assessment: Full Research Proposal Assignment Title: An investigation into the factors that influence the Glaswegian public’s choice of car. Student ID Number: 2059626 Date of Submission: November 29th, 2012 An investigation into the factors that influence the Glaswegian public’s choice of car. Rationale The number of automobiles had risen to over 1 billion vehicles all the world in 2010, which is 20 times more than this number in 1986(Sousanis, John,2011). Car plays a indispensable role in today's society, according to a survey from World Bank(2011), the number of ownership of motor vehicles per 1,000 people is more than 500 in most of developing countries, especially for Monaco, the number was 908(World Bank Data,2009). Although cars have become more and more commonplace, but the cars are still expensive commodity, also there is no doubt that the final decisions are usually made after careful consideration when people purchasing a car(Kathuria, Singla,2012). At the same time, as the vehicle types supplied to be chosen by consumers have become more and more various. When consumer facing with abundant of choices, they become more and more confused and irresolute. With the segmentation of automobile market, the factors that affect the public' car choices are more and more diversified. According to Couton et al.(2006), various...

The corporation’s strategy—infiltrating its core competencies in its activity systems and simultaneously differentiating itself from its competitors—propelled Lockheed Martin’s achievements. Nevertheless, organizations that sustain long-term profitability, analyze all five competitive forces—customers, suppliers, aspiring entrants, and substitutions (Porter, 2008). In addition to considering existing competitors, Lockheed Martin must assess the risk that a new competitor may invade the market and capture their market share. New entrants bring new capacity and increase...

...Schering-Plough Corporation for thirty-one years before Jim Reed was named general sales manager over the South Jersey sales district that included Fred’s sales territory. Afterwards, Reed implemented several changes to try to boost sales including a new performance appraisal system and a hands-on coaching style to motivate his sales staff. The problem arose with Reed’s inability to motivate Fred (Buller & Schuler, 2003). Major Issues The major issue is this case is Reed’s inability to motivate Fred, which inevitably led to the dismal of a long-time loyal employee. The major issues associated with this motivation problem include Reed’s unsuccessful leadership attempt, the de-motivating factors of the appraisal system, and the violation of the psychological contract. Reed’s Unsuccessful Leadership Attempt One major issue is Reed’s unsuccessful attempt at leading Fred. One could describes Reed’s leadership style as a directive leadership behavior of the path-goal theory that one typically uses with a new employee or a transactional leadership style that is used by many sales persons according to Dubinsky, Yammarino, Jolson, and Spanger (2001). “Sales managers generally employ transactional leadership behavior which can “induce adequate attitudinal and behavioral responses in employees, transformational leadership has found to engender even higher results” (Dubinsky et al., 2001, p. 17). Reed’s leadership style could have been described as transactional as he identified...

...Psychology of Fragrance Use: Perception of Individual Odor and Perfume Blends Reveals a Mechanism for Idiosyncratic Effects on Fragrance Choice ´ ´ ´ Pavlına Lenochova1, Pavla Vohnoutova1, S. Craig Roberts2, Elisabeth Oberzaucher3, Karl Grammer3, 1 ´ˇ Jan Havlıcek * 1 Department of Anthropology, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, 2 School of Natural Sciences, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom, 3 Department of Anthropology, University Vienna, Vienna, Austria Abstract Cross-culturally, fragrances are used to modulate body odor, but the psychology of fragrance choice has been largely overlooked. The prevalent view is that fragrances mask an individual’s body odor and improve its pleasantness. In two experiments, we found positive effects of perfume on body odor perception. Importantly, however, this was modulated by significant interactions with individual odor donors. Fragrances thus appear to interact with body odor, creating an individually-specific odor mixture. In a third experiment, the odor mixture of an individual’s body odor and their preferred perfume was perceived as more pleasant than a blend of the same body odor with a randomly-allocated perfume, even when there was no difference in pleasantness between the perfumes. This indicates that fragrance use extends beyond simple masking effects and that people choose perfumes that interact well with their own odor. Our results provide an explanation for the highly individual nature of perfume...

...THE FIVE FORCES INDUSTRY COMPETITORS. Rivalries naturally develop between companies competing in the same market. Competitors use means such as advertising, introducing new products, more attractive customer service and warranties, and price competition to enhance their standing and market share in a specific industry. To Porter, the intensity of this rivalry is the result of factors like equally balanced companies, slow growth within an industry, high fixed costs, lack of product differentiation, overcapacity and price-cutting, diverse competitors, high-stakes investment, and the high risk of industry exit. There are also market entry barriers. PRESSURE FROM SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS. Substitute products are the natural result of industry competition, but they place a limit on profitability within the industry. A substitute product involves the search for a product that can do the same function as the product the industry already produces. Porter uses the example of security brokers, who increasingly face substitutes in the form of real estate, money-market funds, and insurance. Substitute products take on added importance as their availability increases. BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS. Suppliers have a great deal of influence over an industry as they affect price increases and product quality. A supplier group exerts even more power over an industry if it is dominated by a few companies, there are no substitute products, the industry is not an important consumer for the suppliers...
