Contingency Planning

Contingency planning is a risk mitigation process for developing back-up plans in anticipation of events (scenarios) that might disrupt ‘business as usual’. Business continuity planning is an expanded version of contingency planning that typically encompasses a more comprehensive and extended response plan for getting back to ‘business as usual’. In a well-formatted, highly-detailed research paper, address the need to contingency planning, ensuring to address the following items:

(1) Benefits of scenario events/planning.
(2) Questions to consider when implementing scenario planning.
(3) The common types of scenario planning.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
• 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.

Paper Section 1: Reflection and Literature Review

Using Microsoft Word and Professional APA format, prepare a professional written paper supported with three sources of research that details what you have learned from chapters 1 and 2.  This section of the paper should be a minimum of two pages. 

Paper Section 2:  Applied Learning Exercises

In this section of the professional paper, apply what you have learned from chapters 1 and 2 to descriptively address and answer the problems below.  Important Note:  Dot not type the actual written problems within the paper itself.

1. Search the Internet for material regarding the work of managers and the role analytics play. What kind of references to consulting firms, academic departments and programs do you find? What major areas are represented? Select five sites that cover one area and report your findings.
2. Most companies and organizations have downloadable demos or trial versions of their software products on the Web so that you can copy and try them out on your own computer. Others have online demos. Find one that provides decision support, try it out, and write a short report about it. Include details about the intended purpose of the software, how it works, and how it supports decision making.
3. Comment on Simon’s (1977) philosophy that managerial decision making is synonymous with the whole process of management. Does this make sense? Explain. Use a real-world example in your explanation.

Important Note:  There is no specific page requirement for this section of the paper but make sure any content provided fully addresses each problem.

Unit 5 Project Downloadable Instructions

This final part of your project will utilize what you learned during  the previous phases of the project into a comprehensive paper describing  the entire project. 

A this point you should have completed the first four phases of your  project.  Now you must come up with a proposal in regards to delivering  these services to the 500 homes in your area.  Write up your findings  and your network recommendations along with the pricing you will use for  customers attaching to your network.  Split the cost up between  customers so that you can have a reasonable rate of return without  charging excessive rates for your services. 

Include this information while summarizing the previous project parts  in an APA formatted paper.  Make sure you do conduct some research as  well- you want to make sure you use  industry standard terms and  technology in your paper.
