   Scenario
   You are the facility manager for EnVision, a high-tech vehicle maker located in Atlanta. This new company designs, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles and charging units. EnVision’s unique designs, technical prowess, and limited competition has placed them in the enviable position of having a high demand for their line of products. This demand has generated over a billion dollars in pre-sale orders, and a new manufacturing facility is required to meet customer’s needs. The firm’s CEO, Mark Hammel, has asked you to select a new site that will accommodate a new state-of-the-art facility. EnVision is a privately held organization that consists of a board of directors, management and staff, all of whom are familiar with data visualization presentations.

   The existing 600 employees and a handful of investors also have an interest in the company’s success. All of the EnVision employees are acquainted with the company’s operations and goals and have at least a high school education; they do not want their employment jeopardized. A small group of investors is also interested in any decisions that might affect the firm’s bottom line. The extent of data visualization techniques is unknown by these two latter groups.

   Instructions
   The CEO, Mark Hammel has asked you to help him plan for a presentation for sharing your findings on the site selection and other information, to be presented to all levels of the company in an internal meeting. Your site selection criteria need to be presented and explained by all the various entities within EnVision. Be sure to include the following, being mindful of your visual presentation of the data and information.
   Create a presentation report that includes the following:

   • Identification of the needs and goals of the various stakeholder groups.
   • Evaluation of the audience member’s background and skills.
   • Definition of the motivating factors for audience participation in the presentation.
   • Compare and contrast the desired outcomes of the visuals to be included in the presentation.
   • Resources

Overview:

A feasibility analysis, also called a feasibility study, is performed to estimate the chances of a project’s success before a commitment of money and time is made. Some of the factors involved are technical, financial, or legal.

Instructions:

For this assignment, you will develop a feasibility study on Sporting Goods and construct a feasibility analysis based on the project requirements.

• Provide three (3) goals of a feasibility analysis.

• Describe what a feasibility analysis of Sporting Goods might entail (the website, the database system, etc.).

Requirements:

• Your feasibility analysis should be 2-3 pages in length, with additional cover and reference pages.

• The summary should be double-spaced, written in 12-point Times New Roman font, and use a 1-inch margin.

• Use at least two (2) scholarly sources in your assignment and include all references and citations properly formatted in APA.

• Use complete sentences and appropriate grammar and spelling.

Completion of the dissertation primarily rests upon you, the doctoral student. However, research indicates that self-regulated learning strategies predict the elapsed time along the dissertation journey (Dunn & Rakes, 2015; Kelley & Salisbury-Glennon, 2016). One such strategy is the creation of a timeline. This cyclical process has the learner plan out a task, monitor their performance along major milestones, reflect on their progress, and then use the reflection to adjust the timeline. However, to be effective, this strategy needs to be personalized for each learner’s purpose (Zimmerman, 2002).

Using the attached template as a guide, you are to create such a timeline – a roadmap, if you will, along your dissertation journey. Incorporated within the timeline are major milestones. Build into the timeline goals for each milestone with specific dates. You may also want to include specific contact information as well as possible obstacles that may arise. This will be a tool you will bring to each consultation with your professor/chair. Most importantly, it is to be a useable point of reference along your dissertation journey.

Research and identify three large scale hacks or violations of Internet security that have occurred over the past five years. For each of the hacks, identify the suspected hacker or hacker group, what the hack consisted of, what the hackers wanted, and how the hacked entity was able to fend off the attack, or how the entity resolved the hack if it was successful. 

Compare and contrast each of these and write a proposal for an information security review for The New York Times newspaper. This review should include the potential threats, ease of access to reporters and staff accounts, and so on. You should also identify the top three threats to the newspaper in your review.

Your APA-formatted report should be a minimum of 6-8-pages, and include a minimum of 6 peer-reviewed or academic resources.
