...Abstract: Advanced cyberattacks on the public and private sectors at the local, national, and international level have prompted an increase in funding and support for the study of emerging cybersecurity technologies. The considerations for this paper are to discuss the emerging technologies and strategies that can be integrated across the public and private sector to improve cybersecurity on a local, national, and international level. New technologies need to dynamically assess networks real-time such as with the use of Remote Agents and Real-time forensic analysis. These technologies also need to make the attack space less predictable and constantly evolving such as through the use of moving target defense. Emerging Cybersecurity Technologies The E-government Act of 2000 was signed by President Bush to move toward a more 24-7 government. The dream was to eliminate the need to have to stand in line at the DMV for half a day just to pay annual vehicle registration fees (Barker, 2011). Security was certainly a concern, but it was not at the forefront of the move as government agencies would go through massive changes in equipment, manning, and practices in order to move information and programs online. Now, over a decade later we still see moves and changes taking place, such as the department of Veterans Affairs recently moving all of their applications, forms and records online. The expensive cost of getting the government caught up was expected with such an overhaul...

...MGMTMBA 202 Liqing Chen SID20923085 To: From: Lisa Barron, Ph.D., MBA Liqing Chen (MBTI TYPE ESTJ) CC: Kim McCarthy STATEMENT: BASCOM GROUP IS A GOOD BUT NOT A PERFECT FIT FOR MY INTERNSHIP I think Bascom Group is a good fit for my internship because the flexibility and strong interpersonal relationship it manifests are both in line with my values as long as potential incongruities are mitigated. 1. The high degree of flexibility at Bascom Group is in line with my values as long as the work is predictable and well planned. 2. Strong interpersonal relationship at Bascom Group is congruent with my personality. However this may also becomes an obstacle for me to integrate into the company if the strong culture does not welcome new entrants. In order to better fit in Bascom Group for internship, two initiatives must be taken: 1. Make sure my one-to-one mentor at Bascom understand that I prefer to set a plan for my internship in advance by communicating with him/her directly. 2. Gain the trust from future coworkers at Bascom by promoting the mutual understanding before internship starts. HIGH DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY High Degree of Flexibility is Enjoyed by Employees: According to my analysis, the flexibility that employees enjoy at Bascom Group stems from three reasons. 1) Project-based job responsibility. Being a boutique private equity real estate investment company, Bascom Group focuses on acquisition transaction as its core businesses and outsources...

...ABSTRACT Recent reports on banking sector often indicate that India is slowly but surely moving from a regime of `large number of small banks' to `small number of large banks'. The aim of this paper is to probe into the various motivations for mergers and acquisitions in the Indian Banking sector. Thus, literature is reviewed to look into the various motivations behind a banks’ merger/ acquisition event. The paper also takes us through the international mergers & acquisitions scenario comparing it with the Indian scene. Given the increasing role of the economic power in the turf war of nations, the paper looks at the significant role of the state and the central bank in protecting customer’s interests vis-à-vis creating players of international size. While, gazing at the mergers & acquisitions in the Indian Banking Sector both from an opportunity and as imperative perspectives, the paper also glances at the large implications for the nation. INTRODUCTION Generally speaking a bank is an institution dealing in money. The origin of the word bank is traced to the Italian ‘banca’, ‘banc’ or ‘banque’, which means a bench. It is stated that in Middle Ages the European money changers and moneylenders displayed their coins on their benches and conducted their business. Hence the term bank refers to the bench on which the business of money changing and money lending was conducted. Hence, the term banking is defined as accepting for the purpose of lending or investment, of...

...I. Statement of Problem Area Nature of Change In early 2012 I joined the talent management department of my company. After going through my initial training and understanding my goals for the next few years, I began to evaluate the effectiveness of our performance management strategy. Performance management is critical to the long-term sustainability of any organization. As a talent management consultant, it is my responsibility to evaluate our performance management strategy and make appropriate recommendations. My company recently celebrated 75 years and we spent several months, meeting with department heads, business leaders, employees and other key stakeholders to understand the current state of our processes and what we could do enhance our human capital strategies for the next 75 years. These meetings were eye opening in that we identified several gaps in how we were managing the growth and development of our employees. As result, we identified that we needed to explore the possibility of adopting an informal performance management process. The focus of this new process would challenge our managers to act as coaches engaging in ongoing discussions about their employees’ development. Issues Every year we conduct an employee engagement survey. For any corporation, the results of these surveys often are the catalyst for institutional change. For us, we saw there was a significant disconnect between the performance expectations we had of our employees...

The CAPM states that the required return (R) on any asset can be expressed as Equation 1: R = R f + ( Rm - R f ) (1) 1 Survey evidence and much of the discussion is adapted from T. Brotherson, K. Eades, R. Harris, and R. Higgins, “‘Best Practices’ in Estimating the Cost of Capital: An Update,” Journal of Applied Finance 23, no. 1 (2013), which is an update of an earlier article: R. Bruner, K.

...the use of an online platform or website (a social networking site) that enables people to communicate, usually for a social purpose, through a variety of services, most of which are web-based and offer opportunities for people to interact over the internet, e.g. via e-mail and ‘instant messaging’ (a form of real-time, direct text-based communication between two or more people using personal computers or other devices). Kaplan and Haenlein (2010) define social media as “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0*, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content”. One such set of applications are social networking sites (SNSs); the subject of a previous report for Acas by IES, which looked at their various implications for employment relations (Broughton et al 2011). Boyd and Ellison (2007) define SNSs as: “web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile...

...Personal Philosophy Paper Sara Hammel University of Georgia Counseling Theory Theorist who have Influenced Personal Theoretical Orientation As a therapist’s experience base grows, I believe a person’s theoretical orientation will narrow, but will also continue to evolve. The core belief system that a therapist begins with is still there, but the platform that a therapist connects most with eventually becomes a therapist’s model. I am aware that my current orientation is rather eclectic in nature. I find a basic connection with Freud and agree that we do have instincts that are innate to every human (Corey, 2013), in essence we are all animals (Freud, 1961) of sorts. Adler was correct when he expounded on Freud’s work and introduced the idea that we are not solely shaped by our childhood experiences. Frankl, May, and Yalom have led me to the idea that there is no step by step instructional book on how to counsel clients. My experience in the military working with a multitude of different people of various religions, ethnicities, and languages has led to my acknowledgement that we are all different and are motivated and driven by many different things. Each person is different; this is what makes us special. No single solution is perfect for any two people, and there are always different variables involved with each person. Also incorporated into my view of human nature is Perls’s concept that places emphasis on what is being experienced in the here and now as being...

...one of the most complex, yet one of the most robust service segments of the Indian economy. Spanning from insurance to capital markets, banking to foreign direct investments (FDI) and from mutual funds to private equity (PE) investments, the financial services sector covers all related segments under its umbrella. Having major effects in its abstract as well as physical form post liberalization, the financial services segment is undoubtedly the mainstay of Indian economy.
