The course text discusses AS/NZS 4360 approach, which consists of a 5-phase process to manage and control risk. According to the text the risk management process phases are establish context, identify, establish and treat risk while continuously communicating, monitoring and reviewing risk (Cooper, 2005). The premise of risk management is to uncover and understand as much as possible about risks as early in the project as possible. The more one knows about risks the easier it is to make decisions for correct responses. The alternative to risk management is crises management, which in many instances is more costly, and more time consuming. Clements & Gido define a project as “an endeavor to accomplish a specific objective through a unique set of interrelated tasks and the effective utilization of resource “(Gido 4). I had many opportunities to develop a Military Retirement Ceremony, so I decided to approach it as a project risk management plan. At the time I did not know it but we were using the project risk management approach discussed in the text to address the risk associated with the event. The Military Retirement Ceremony project planning began the same as most projects do by determining the objectives. The objectives are described in terms of deliverable, schedule and budget. The sponsor and the customer must agree upon the scope of any project. In this project I worked along side the sponsors.

Admin accounts should never be used for day-to-day activities as this could lead to username/passwords being stolen more easily providing access to others from the outside. When an employee leaves their admin and general use accounts should be turned off immediately. If an employee is to be terminated with cause, theses accounts should be disabled prior to the termination discussion. Users risk are medium impact and highly controllable with policy and procedures.

There are multiple problems that have to be solved. The first problem is that Obama care is focusing on making sure everyone gets health insurance. First of all, you do not want anyone to force you to get something? No! Because you know what is right and wrong for you. Obama care is a force and I think everyone can make his or her own decision if they want insurance or not. From my own opinion, I think the only solution to this problem is to let people decide if they want to enroll or not. From this, money will be saved and people can decide for their best in health decision. If we all make a change to the issue, I think the society will be happier.

Disney used the character of Mickey Mouse and others to create movies that customers enjoyed like “Beauty and the Beast” while Pixar was producing made up animated characters to create films like “Cars” and “Wall-E”. Disney was creating animated movies but struggling to generate the amount of money Pixar was making on producing only one movie a year. Disney wanted to grow in creating more animated movies and decided to buy out Pixar in 2006 for $7.4 million dollars. (Barnes, 2008) According to Disney’s CEO Robert

The business that I chose to research is General Electric. GE is one of the oldest and largest businesses in the United States. They are ranked #26 largest firm in the U.S and the 14th most profitable. GE is a massive, diversified and profitable conglomerate with a lot of very good but unrelated businesses. GE has expanded to incorporate television, airplane engines, medical devices, household appliances and commercial financing. Analyzing GE’s business-level strategy is somewhat difficult being that GE has so many different divisions. Any of these products would serve as a large and viable business on its own but

In as much, a lot of consideration is necessary when deciding which product, software, and system to choose. For example, the current system used by the debt management section of the Team uses an Oracle Business product that relies on dashboards to compile, sort, and analyze data. However, the victim correspondence system uses a web-based system that relates case summary and detailed information as well as downloads and links to system and case related inquiries and information.
