Evaluate the internal processes or strategies within an organization in which you are involved, such as your workplace, school, church, or community group, in order to identify a problem that provides an opportunity for innovation. Then, determine an innovative solution for addressing that problem. Examples of potential solutions are entering a new market, implementing a new practice or process, or even changing management structures. The ultimate goal of your solution should be to increase the diffusion of innovation within the organization and contribute to a culture that appreciates innovation as a key to competitive advantage and organizational success.     Though your final paper will not be due until the end of the course, you should identify your problem and generate potential solutions early on. Begin drafting your implementation plan in stages as you work through the course topics. As with your CLC project, you should research and select a model for evaluating both the feasibility of your idea and the implementation plan.    1.Describe the problem your innovation targets. What is the scope of the problem and which stakeholders, both within the organization and without, does it impact? 2.Describe your innovation and explain how it addresses the problem. How will it meet the needs of the organization and all stakeholders involved? 3.How does the innovation contribute to the organization’s competitive advantage? 4.Develop an implementation plan for effectively diffusing the innovation within the organization. Make sure the plan addresses potential resistance and obstacles, including people and processes. 5.Identify an appropriate method that could be used for measuring the impact of the innovation on the organization. Explain why you think this is a relevant measure. 6.Finally, assume your innovation is adopted by the organization. Make recommendations for additional improvements within in this organization (in processes, practices, structures, etc.) that could create and sustain momentum for innovation.  Include at least eight in-text citations from at least five secondary resources from your research.  Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.  You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.

Importance of Information Security Laws and Regulations. 

As a risk manager, should you approach regulations as a risk to information systems? Do you see regulations as important measures to strengthen information security or as ways to exert unnecessary control over organizations?
 

In response to your peers, research any organization as a point of reference or use your own place of work in discussing why regulations are important measures or ways to exert unnecessary control over organizations.

RESOURCE

Read Chapter 3 in our text, Managing Risk in Information Systems (Gibson 2010).

· Watch the Podcast, in Module 2, The Path from Information Security Risk Assessment to Compliance (26:17)

PLEASE READ THIS.IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

Allow your discussion posts to be detailed and capable of sharing knowledge, ideas and points.  You must discuss the topic using your own words first.  Using your own words indicate you understand the topic of discussions.  Secondly, you must cite your sources in-text.  This is necessary to justify your points. Sources from several sources showed good research abilities.  Lastly, you must provide references at the bottom of your post.  A discussion post without justification with sources does not show proper research abilities. A terse and not detailed discussions represent post that would not provide enough sharing of knowledge or proper understanding of the topic. DO NOT just copy and paste a sentence from online with citation at the end as your own discussion. I have not asked for definitions, I asked for discussions and will not buy this.  You must show understanding of the discussion topic by using your own words to describe the topic and then justify that with sources.

www.citationmachine.net to format references into the APA style if necessary. Extremely important. Intext citations is very essential and highly needed as well.

12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA citation method (citation should be relevant and current). Page-length requirements:1 page at least. Make sure you cite if you take a piece of someone’s work, very important and your reference should relate to your writing (don’t cite a reference because it relates to the course and not this very paper) at least 4 current and relevant academic references.

Strategic Management

MGT 401

Assignment: 3 (5 MARKS)

Create a hypothetical organization offering product /service of your choice. Identify a real potential competitor in the market.

1. Name your product/service as well as organization.

2. Write the mission and objectives.

3. Scan and assess the external environment to determine the strategic factors that pose opportunities and threats.

4. Scan and assess the internal corporate environment to determine the strategic factors that are Strengths (especially core competencies) and Weaknesses.

5. Analyze strategic (SWOT) factors to (a) pinpoint problem areas and (b) review and revise the corporate mission and objectives, as necessary.

7. State how you are going to implement selected strategies via programs, budgets, and procedures.

8. State how you are going to evaluate implemented strategies via feedback systems, and the control of activities to ensure their minimum deviation from plans.

Guidelines

Before carrying out a SWOT analysis, consider the following guidelines:

· Be realistic about strengths and weaknesses. When performing a SWOT analysis on your business, be neither modest nor overly optimistic.

· Consider answers from the company’s point of view and from the point of view of customers, vendors, distributors, and others who do business with them.

· Distinguish between where the organization is today and where it could be in the future.

· Note that the SWOT is subjective. No two persons will come up with the same SWOT.

1.All papers should have the following components in their subject: 

a)A textile created between 1450 CE and 1800CE

b)A country we are studying or covered in readings, Europe, Ottoman Empire, Early West African Textiles, India, Japan, Peru, North American. It is possible to address a textile from another culture/country but you need approval of the textile with evidence of available research to guide your conceptual approach and research, for example, cultural interchange and hybridity with Chinese textile forms covered in several books on bibliography.
c)Papers may include images of other objects as comparisons as you establish that your textile is not unique but rather one in a group of other similar objects (of course you will explain in your paper how similar)

2.Each presentation and paper provide a thesis sentence and paragraph stating the claim or argument you are making.This thesis directs the concepts developed in your paper in relation to your chosen object/textile and represents your conceptual pursuits.

3.Conceptual approach to your chosen textile and paper should address topics addressed in our lectures, readings, and discussions. Terms like: Globalism, Imperialism, Hybridity, Cultural reciprocity, Cultural contact, Colonialism and other terms that address movement of peoples, processes, and fiber textile information, patterns and more during the Early Modern People.

4.Each presentation and paper must present scholarly research to support the thesis, as evidence include a brief discussion of one scholars’ ideas/concepts that you found in a journal or book that contribute to the support of your thesis (1-2 paragraphs). 
For example, in the topic sentence identify the author, essay/book title and what this scholar said –this can be a short quote or a close paraphrase and should be footnoted. Then in 2-5 sentences synthesize the material i.e. discuss what this quote means to you and how this information contributes or has resonance with your topic. Often this may seem evident to you but it is important that you “spell it out” for your reader –don’t make your reader do the work and guess what you think it means. Write it. 

5. A revised formal analysis(FA)) of chosen object/artwork must be in your final paper. The FA should be in first 1-2 pages of your paper.

6.If you use other images in your paper –tell your reader why you are using them and how you are “reading” them.ID the image, date, and museum collection.

7.Include at least one paragraph describing the fiber and the process of production.

8.Please email if you have questions, I am available for meetings, assist with outlines, review, edit drafts, thesis revisions and more.

9.Paper grading: Thesis (10points), Formal Analysis (10 points) Research to support thesis(35points), Paragraph on scholar’s idea (10 points), Paragraph on fiber and process of production (5 points) Style/grammar (10 points), Conclusion (5points), Footnotes (10points) Bibliography (5points). 

10.References listed in your bibliography should include pertinent class readings, other books, journals, and websites utilized.If you use a website, provide both the name and the link to the site. Please use scholarly sites, .org or .edu are best

11. Double-spaced, 12 font, and 7-8pages in content, title page, and bibliography
