Implementing a Cloud Collaboration Solution

 

  1. Write a 1-page paper describing some of the questions an organization should consider when evaluating a cloud collaboration service. Your paper should also:
    • List the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing a cloud collaboration solution.
    • Explain the difference between synchronous and asynchronous collaboration tools.
  2. Remember to use proper APA formatting, including citations and references for all resources used.
  3. Save your file, and submit it using the instructions below.

Discussion

 

  • Chapter 9 – Review the section on Establishing a Security Culture.  Review the methods to reduce the chances of a cyber threat noted in the textbook.  Research other peer-reviewed source and note additional methods to reduce cyber-attacks within an organization.

The above submission should be one-page in length and adhere to APA formatting standards.**Remember the APA cover page and the references (if required) do not count towards the page length** 

Research Paper

The reading this week discusses strategy and how ERM can be integrated with an organization’s overall strategy. Prepare a research paper on some of the various issues, protocols, methods, frameworks you found and discuss how – if possible – organizations can use ERM as strategy. It is perfectly acceptable if you deem ERM cannot be used as strategy, just back up your claim with scholarly research and justifications.Your paper should meet these requirements: 

  • Be approximately five 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.

Theoretical Assignment

 

Rather than writing a full-length literature review for your topic, you will practice developing your theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic in this assignment and then develop your literature review funnel for upcoming assignment 15.1.                             

  • The purpose of the theoretical framework is to tie the dissertation together. As the researcher, you should approach the proposed research from a theory or set of theories that provide the backdrop for the work (researchers do not create theory; they use established theory in which to embed their work).
  • This section should describe how this study will relate to existing theories and discuss how the methodology being used in the study links to those theories
  • The theoretical framework justifies the methods you plan to use for conducting the study and presents how this research will contribute to the body of knowledge and/or practice. Further, it describes the context within which to locate the intended project and suggests why doing such a study is worthwhile.

Directions:

  1. Review the rubric and examples to make sure you understand the expectations of this assignment.
    1. Sample Theoretical Framework.pdf
    2. Rubric for Theoretical Framework.docx
  2. Develop a 1 page (more is fine) theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic.  Consider (but do NOT directly answer) the following questions when you write your theoretical framework:
    1. Is the theoretical foundation strong?
    2. Are the theoretical sources apparent?
    3. Are they appropriate for the topic?
    4. Do they need further explanation?
  3. Submit your theoretical framework to the submission box.

From my home directory

  

QUESTION 1 From my home directory, copy the file called cards to your home directory. Copy the following script to a file in your home directory. This will be your first shell script. You can name the file any name that you would like. Once the file exists, execute the script. #!/usr/bin/ksh grep -i ‘Mantle’ cards if [ $? ] then echo “The name Mantle was found” fi The above script will locate the string “Mantle” within the file called cards and output the lines and a success statement. True False 10 points 

QUESTION 2 Copy the following script to a file in your home directory. You can name the file any name that you would like. #!/usr/bin/ksh if [ -f /etc/passwd ] then echo “The file exists” else echo “The file does not exist” fi Execute the file (script) The script will locate the /etc/passwd file and tell you that it exists True False 10 points 

QUESTION 3 Copy the file called list from my home directory. Copy the following script to a file in your home directory. You can name the file any name you would like. #!/usr/bin/ksh for index in `cat list` do echo $index done Execute the file (script). The script will output each line contained in the file called list. True False 10 points Click Save and Submit to save and submit. Click Save All Answers to save all answers.

Monte Carlo Simulation Project

Monte Carlo Simulation Project 

Introduction 

A great tool for investigating uncertainty in a complex process is the Monte Carlo simulation. If you’d like, there is plenty of information online that describes what this simulation does and what it is useful for. But in brief, a Monte  Carlo simulation aims to simulate the possible pathway of a future endeavor, experiment, or process, given multiple inputs that each have uncertainty. Monte  Carlo simulations are oftentimes used by financial planners to try to predict that might happen in the future. Inputs to financial planning processes include probabilities of how the stock market might do, projections for various costs and amount of sales, and many other financial variables. In the sciences, there may be several or many inputs into a future process, and the goal is to understand the likelihood of a scenario going one way or another.

In this project, you will first learn about a Monte Carlo simulation and how to implement it in a VBA user form using an example investigating a cookies recipe, where each of the ingredients has an uncertainty associated with it . You will explore five different typical distributions used in Monte Carlo simulations and implement these into the VBA user form. Finally, you will adapt a profitability analysis example into the main project deliverable, which is a user form that allows the user to simulate a profitability analysis based on net present value (NPV) of a proposed capital project.
