...Homework IT Governance and COBIT framework Yeng Lee SEC 592 Professor Joseph Costantini May 18, 2014 What is the relationship between IT execution and IT governance? IT execution and IT governance are both related to the development of Information Technology. The differences among the two terms are their purpose and process. IT execution is a phase in IT development where IT governance is policies and rules to a project. In other word, IT governance is a whole single identity while IT execution is a step in a project. We will go further detail of the different of the two terms. But first, we will elaborate the term IT execution and IT governance. As stated above, execution is a phase in a project. IT execution usually comes after analyzing and planning phase of a project. Following the execution phase will be testing, clean up, and monitoring. In the execution or a project, it requires setting up responsibilities, time management, authorities, and control mechanism to accomplish the task. We will see later how governance does this IT execution. In the Execution phase, the project is carry out and complete. In the field of Information Technology, it can be anything from connecting a new network to upgrading an existence application or hardware to implementing security policies. As the project is being developed, executioner must refer back to the planning phase for guidance and error checking (Project Execution Phase, n.d.). Governance is the process...

...State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The administrative agency that controls this regulation is the Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives Bureau (The ATF), whose parent agency is the Department of Justice. This agency and its proposed regulation interests me because I am a supporter of the second amendment and I am opposed of any regulations that seek to limit the second amendment. I do not own any firearms, nor do I expect to receive any firearms in the immediate future, but my fiance’s father owns many firearms and, in the future, when he passes away, those guns are likely to be transferred to her and this legislation will affect that transfer by requiring the receiver of those firearms to verify that they are a “responsible person” This regulation will not affect the business in which I am working. That business is Verizon Wireless, which does not deal in any firearms (at least to my knowledge). I am interested in this subject from a purely academic point of view. Describe the proposal/change. This regulation would require a person legally receiving a firearm (ostensibly someone receiving it as a gift or as part of an inheritance) to prove that they are a “responsible person”, furthermore this “responsible person” would have to complete a form and submit photographs and...

...Week 2 Homework – GM520. By Sam Jhonson 1. The Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve Board was seeking amendments to the Risk-Based Pricing Rule that would require creditors, as of July 21, 2011. I am starting my own business so this interests me as to how the credit scores are reported to the consumers. 2. The proposal makes the creditors to disclose the credit score information to the consumers when a credit score is used in setting or adjusting credit terms. Also consumers who receive the notice can obtain a free credit report to check the report’s accuracy. As an alternative to providing the notice, the Rule permits creditors to provide credit applicants with a free credit score and information about their score. 3. The agencies should provide additional information related to credit scores to the risk-based pricing notices. Specifically, the risk-based pricing notice include an explanation that the consumer does not have a single credit score, and that the credit score may vary with the consumer reporting agency and a particular credit product for which the consumer applied. Most consumers need this information to help them understand why they are receiving a particular score that may not be the same as a FICO score. 4. All the comments must be received by 04/14/10 and comments on he Paperwork Reduction Act analysis set forth in Section III.A. of this Federal Register notice must be received on or before May 16, 2011. 5. a. 1.

...Homework 3. According to this appeals court, what errors were made by the judge at trial? First off, the judge was wrong by allowing the jury to even deliver a verdict on discrimination claims against Thiesing for 2,200,000 dollars. Thiesing was the prosecutor and this case was not about what Thiesing did as he was the prosecutor and brought the case to court not the defendant. I feel as though the judge should have kept the jury on track by not allowing other issues not relevant to the case at hand to be admissible. On the other hand the judge also did not allow the jury to look at the evidence of the case with a clear mind due to the plaintiff’s counsel only desire was to ignite the passion in the jury emotionally instead of on the evidence. The judge should have never allowed the jury’s feelings to get so emotional that a verdict and awards would have been as high and harsh as they were for this type of hearing. It went too far and the judge never intervened. 7.

...America’s dependency on foreign oil is a burden that all Americans should want depleted. Our great country has severed its ties of many foreign dependencies, by overcoming the technological short comings and elements. By doing so America has become one of the greatest countries on Earth. The shape our country is in since the recession, our duty is to provide means of cheaper and greener fuel sources. With the addition of new sustainable energy we could push the country out of the red and into a newer better world. The creation of new sciences and methods will create new jobs, with healthier work environments. Picture in your mind a world where there are no more carbon emissions, a better world where our children have never seen medical cases like Black Lung. Even carbon monoxide poisoning and ever raising fuel prices could be terms that we have only heard of in history books. America’s children have the chance to become the people I just described if we push forward with developing our cleaner, greener energy plan. Arguably, this is a big step for our country to take and with the ability to drill more offshore wells we have a great chance to grow and have something to fall back on in times of distress. More oil is not the answer to Americas growing problem. The real tragedy will be our children not being able to purchase fuel for the car ride to take their own children to school. The ability to live free from other countries’ control comes from making difficult...

All assignments are due by Sunday, midnight, MST. CH3, Q7 – The owner of a small hardware store—the only one in a medium-sized town in the mountains—has just learned that a large home improvement chain plans to open a new store nearby. How difficult will it be for the owner to plan for this competitive threat? Explain your answer. At first it would be very difficult. The small hardware store owner should choose strategies that avoid head-on competition. The owner needs to find new or better ways to satisfy customers needs and provide value. The small owner should actively seek information about the large home improvement chain and what all they entail? A lot of the information can come from customers and from the internet, remember word of mouth is huge. It is just like having McDonalds next to Burger King, each will have their own regular customers coming in, but each will have to keep bringing something new to the table, to try and get more customers in. CH4, Q3 – List the types of potential segmenting dimensions, and explain which you try to apply first, second, and third in a particular situation.
