After completing the reading this week, we reflect on a few key concepts this week:

1. Discuss and identify leader traits and attributes that are most beneficial in implementing the best decisions in an organization. 
2. Explain the differences in charismatic and transformational leadership and how both leadership styles impact organizational effectiveness. Please note how these leadership styles affect implementing new innovative technologies.
3. Review table 8.1 in the reading this week, note the work characteristics and the traditional versus high-performance focus, note which focus is best for strategic decisions and which is best for operational decisions. Please explain.

Please be sure to answer all the questions above in the initial post.

Please ensure the initial post and two response posts are substantive. Substantive posts will do at least TWO of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Expand on the topic, by adding additional thoughtful information
• Answer a question posted by another student in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source
• Make an argument

At least one scholarly (peer-reviewed) resource should be used in the initial discussion thread. Please ensure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use APA references and in-text citations.

One of the frequent concerns about the cloud computing environment is security. In 750 to 1000 words (excluding title page and references) and using Jamsa (2013) and Erl et al. (2013) as two of your sources, list five (5) security cloud concerns business personnel and consumers should consider when using the cloud (list these five concerns as Level 1 headers).

Then, in your own words, explain these vulnerabilities or concerns. Finally, utilizing scholarly research, provide recommendations for mitigating them and/or instituting safeguarding protocols.

Note:

• Proper APA 7 format is required (including title page)
• Use third-person only
• Minimum seven references with matching intext citations

A typical DMZ is a network virtualization schema when a particular network connects to at least two different networks with different security levels.

Business Process Design

If you have been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure. If you have not yet been involved with a business process redesign, research a company that has recently completed one and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and how the company could have done a better job minimizing the risk of failure.

Introduction

Body

Conclusion

For this assignment, review the article:

Abomhara, M., & Koien, G.M. (2015). Cyber security and the internet of things: Vulnerabilities, threats, intruders, and attacks. Journal of Cyber Security, 4, 65-88. Doi: 10.13052/jcsm2245-1439.414

Address the following:

• What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?
• Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
• Summarize the overall article.
• Identify the conclusions of the authors
• Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
• Consider alternative explanations for the results
• Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
• The relevance or importance of the study
• The appropriateness of the experimental design

When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. This is good practice for your literature review, which you’ll be completing during the dissertation process.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Paper Section 1: Reflection and Literature Review

Using Microsoft Word and Professional APA format, prepare a professional written paper supported with three sources of research that details what you have learned from chapters 1 and 2.  This section of the paper should be a minimum of two pages. 

Paper Section 2:  Applied Learning Exercises

In this section of the professional paper, apply what you have learned from chapters 1 and 2 to descriptively address and answer the problems below.  Important Note:  Dot not type the actual written problems within the paper itself.

1. Search the Internet for material regarding the work of managers and the role analytics play. What kind of references to consulting firms, academic departments and programs do you find? What major areas are represented? Select five sites that cover one area and report your findings.
2. Most companies and organizations have downloadable demos or trial versions of their software products on the Web so that you can copy and try them out on your own computer. Others have online demos. Find one that provides decision support, try it out, and write a short report about it. Include details about the intended purpose of the software, how it works, and how it supports decision making.
3. Comment on Simon’s (1977) philosophy that managerial decision making is synonymous with the whole process of management. Does this make sense? Explain. Use a real-world example in your explanation.

After addressing the problems, conclude your paper with details on how you will use this knowledge and skills to support your professional and or academic goals.
