Elizabeth Chan is the CEO of a 1 year old electronics company. The company designs, develops and manufactures the Micro Midget Widget – this is Elizabeth’s own invention and it is a small but important component in a wide range of complex video and other specialised hardware. Elizabeth is an engineer but she has no modern technical understanding of IT security issues.

Elizabeth has had no problems with IT Security until very recently when the Company’s network was subject to a series of attacks. In the period of 3 days, the company’s website was defaced, a serious virus infected the company e-mail and large quantities of data were corrupted.

Elizabeth’s IT security risk management concerns are wide ranging. She needs to determine whether the same hackers are likely to hack the company again. She believes the recent attacks suggest the hackers were interested in either proprietary theft of sensitive information for personal and/ or financial gain or, to disrupt the affected company in such a way as competitors have an edge. There is also an evidence of a previous disgruntled employee planning for revenge against Elizabeth.

Elizabeth has become very worried about cyberterrorism and is concerned that she may inadvertently allow her unprotected system to be the launch pad for a major denial of service attack on the Australian NII. She is also very concerned about becoming a victim of e-crime. She believes that her company ought to develop a Forensic Readiness plan so as to be prepared for possible action against the hackers who have been attacking her company. Since the company is relatively new she can build whatever security controls and purchase whatever new hardware you recommend.

Case Study 2: GE Healthcare (B): A CSR Dilemma

Due Week 11 and worth 200 points

Read the case study titled “GE Healthcare (B): A CSR Dilemma” located in the XanEdu case pack (Link Below)

Reviewing the case study titled “GE Healthcare (A): Innovating for Emerging Markets” may be helpful in supporting your arguments.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

Determine two (2) specific ethical issues that General Electric (GE) Healthcare faced when implementing its strategy to introduce low cost diagnostic equipment to developing countries. Recommend two (2) actions that GE can take to resolve these ethical issues. Analyze the concepts of professional and applied ethics and determine whether GE Healthcare breeched these concepts in the development of its low cost alternatives for diagnostic medical equipment. Provide one (1) specific example to support your rationale. Determine whether GE Healthcare has any responsibility in resolving the issue of a preference for male children in cultures where its diagnostic ultrasound products are sold. Recommend one (1) strategy that would enable GE Healthcare to balance its responsibility of continued growth and development with any ethical or moral concerns investors and human rights groups might have regarding the use of its equipment in controlling the birth rates of male children in some cultures.

Assignment 1. Linear Programming Case Study

Your instructor will assign a linear programming project for this assignment according to the following specifications.

It will be a problem with at least three (3) constraints and at least two (2) decision variables. The problem will be bounded and feasible. It will also have a single optimum solution (in other words, it won’t have alternate optimal solutions). The problem will also include a component that involves sensitivity analysis and the use of the shadow price.

You will be turning in two (2) deliverables, a short writeup of the project and the spreadsheet showing your work.

Writeup.

Your writeup should introduce your solution to the project by describing the problem. Correctly identify what type of problem this is. For example, you should note if the problem is a maximization or minimization problem, as well as identify the resources that constrain the solution. Identify each variable and explain the criteria involved in setting up the model. This should be encapsulated in one (1) or two (2) succinct paragraphs.

After the introductory paragraph, write out the L.P. model for the problem. Include the objective function and all constraints, including any non-negativity constraints. Then, you should present the optimal solution, based on your work in Excel. Explain what the results mean.

Finally, write a paragraph addressing the part of the problem pertaining to sensitivity analysis and shadow price.

Excel.

As previously noted, please set up your problem in Excel and find the solution using Solver. Clearly label the cells in your spreadsheet. You will turn in the entire spreadsheet, showing the setup of the model, and the results.

Your boss has chosen you to give a presentation to a number of foreign officials regarding the United States Federal Reserve System. These officials are very interested in doing business in the United States, but they would like to learn more about the Federal Reserve and how it operates as compared to the official’s home country.

*The country that my instructor has given me is KOREA.

Develop a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation including detailed speaker notes.

Incorporate any feedback from peer review discussion.

Address the following questions and include a notes page which contains the write-up portion to each question:

What are the factors that would influence the Federal Reserve in adjusting the discount rate? How does the discount rate affect the decisions of banks in setting their specific interest rates? How does monetary policy aim to avoid inflation? How does monetary policy control the money supply? How does a stimulus program (through the money multiplier) affect the money supply? Currently, what indicators are evident that there is too much or too little money within the economy? How is monetary policy aiming to adjust this? What are some major differences between the Federal Reserve System and the monetary system in the officials’ home country?

Format consistent with APA guidelines including a reference slide.
