Assignment 2.1: Justification Report – Part 1

Due Week 3 and worth 150 points

In Assignments 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, you will be building up a formal, researched justification report (one part at a time) that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product, service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer).

Use the basic outline below to draft Assignment 2. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

Problem Statement (for Question 1)
Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2)
Criteria (for Question 3)
Methods (for Question 4)

Using the provided template, write Part 1 of a single-spaced report in which you:

Discuss in detail a problem at work, persuading and convincing the reader that it needs fixing.
Provide a detailed description of two (2) possible solutions (“alternatives”) that could be implemented to resolve the problem identified in Question 1.
List and detail five (5) criteria that you will use to measure the worth of each alternative in Question 2. Note: The alternative that satisfies the most criteria to the highest degree will be the one you recommend later to your employer (in Assignment 2.3). Criteria are standards that the audience values and are therefore used to measure the worth of each alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efficiency, time it will take to implement, and practicality).
Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best alternative to recommend to your employer. Note: This is a one to two (1-2) paragraph description of what research needs to be completed in order to evaluate the alternatives. This is not a detailed procedure for solving the problem.

Your assignment must:

Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details, examples, and explanations.
Organize ideas logically by using transitional words, phrases, and sentences.
Use sentence variety and effective word choice in written communication.
Apply writing process strategies to develop formal business reports and / or proposals.
Use technology and information resources to research issues related to selected topics.

You may hand in your essay at the beginning of class either Wed 2/3 or Wed 2/10. If you want to include Sula by Toni Morrison as one of your texts, then definitely wait until 2/10. Essays received later than Thur. 2/11 at 2 pm (during my office hr) may only be submitted with instructor permission and will have 5 or more points deducted. Write a 4 page essay on one of the following topics, using two– three texts by different authors that we have read or watched in the class so far. Format: typed, doublespaced, 12’’ Times Roman Font, black ink, 1 inch margins, MLA format for quotations and Works Cited. (Less than 3 ½ PAGES will receive NO CREDIT). In addition to giving your essay a title, state which topic you are answering.

Please read and follow the directions carefully:

Write a well organized, focused, unified critical essay with a THESIS in response to the topic. This assignment calls for an analytical essay, not a plot summary, personal appreciation, process paper or book review. In writing your essay, keep in mind the ideas that we have discussed in class, but base your paper primarily on your own ideas and interpretations, not a recitation of class lectures. Use specific details and quotes from the texts to support your generalizations, and try to address aspects of literary or film technique in the texts as well as their ideas (for example, symbolism, imagery, point of view). I expect you to present your thesis about the texts in the first paragraph introduction, for paragraphs to be about half a page long, and for your concluding paragraph to reinforce your argument supporting your thesis. In addition to giving your essay a title, indicate clearly which topic you are addressing. You are welcome to draw on your own experiences, but do NOT consult any outside sources unless you discuss it and clear it with me first.

Discuss the escapes or alternative spaces protagonists find to those in which they are victims of gender and other forms of oppression, whether these escapes are physical or mental. Suggestions: Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers, Woman Hollering Creek, Brokeback Mountain, Spit and Passion

Please use the novels that are italicized only to write the paper about.

Minimum 5 pages of content, exclusive of cover and reference pages.

· Please don’t exceed 7 pages of content. Succinct writing is generally preferred in business.

· Follow formal APA format. Include Cover and citations, just ignore them for the page count.

· Use good business style. Be succinct, direct, and understandable.

· Remember that your audience (the board of directors) is NOT technically savvy.

· You must include the appropriate citations, including your textbook if referenced. I expect a minimum of at least 3 citations, but use as many as appropriate. If you are referring to or recommending particular standards or guidelines, please provide a citation for them as well.

Citations! I can’t emphasize that enough. Students can cite as many sources as needed, but not citing a source will cause you grief! Also: SafeAssign is not a plagiarism detector; so don’t copy from another student’s paper, and don’t paste text unless you cite it. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to get your paper done early.

Your organization has had an information security incident. You are assigned your own specific incident (from the attached assignment spreadsheet list). You may supplement the information with published sources; all incidents are real, and you may find additional published accounts of them that add details. You may be a little creative if the published accounts lack critical details, as companies often do not publish all that is known.

You are the CISO (and Incident Response manager) for this organization. Your task is to prepare a detailed brief for your organization’s board of directors, describing & discussing:

· What happened.

· The impact of what happened.

· Why it happened.

· The likelihood of it happening again

· What must be done to prevent it from happening again. (Remediation plan)

Consider the incident from the context of this course and text.

Apply the concepts and tools discussed in the text, and create a useful OUTLINE of a remediation plan.

——————————————————–

Some ideas you may want to consider while you work on this:

· What policy failures/gaps may have led to the incident?

· What can be done to prevent a recurrence? (note: is it preventable?)

· What is the impact, short and long term to :

· Customers

· Employees

· The public

· Stockholders/Stakeholders?
