ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS

 

Please utilize the course material covered in Chapters 1–7 of our text to develop a career paper that reflects your “past-present-future,” with respect to career goals based on organization behavior principles. In essence, this is a self-reflection paper based on applied course theory that will explain your various decisions in life. Most people find this research paper to be a challenge when discussing their own motives, personality, and goal setting because we are usually too busy worrying about other people and tend to ignore ourselves.

This research paper is designed to challenge your thinking with respect to the career you hope to achieve and the underlying organization behavior (OB) principles that are driving your behavior. The context for this self-reflection paper should provide readers with an overview of your past and the defining events that shaped your current decision to attend Rivier University. You will then focus on current reality and describe what career issues you are currently facing and the reason you feel a master’s degree will better position you in this current job market. Lastly, you will focus on the future and project where you hope your career will take you and how you will define success in your future role(s). You should utilize your course readings as one source of “research” for this paper. There are also interesting self-assessments you can take at the end of some chapters that will give you additional insights about your personality. I also look for solid APA formatting, and your final grade will be determined based on the depth and breadth of OB principles applied to your self-diagnosis. In essence, can you explain your decisions in life based on supporting academic theory?

The minimum length of this research paper is at least four pages of solid content. There is no maximum length requirement.

Understanding the Work of the IT Governance Board

 

In this final week of your internship, your rotation assignment takes you back to the Chief of Staff’s Office where you started out seven weeks ago.

Among other things, the Chief of Staff’s organization is responsible for organizing meetings and providing support to the various internal governance boards and executive committees that comprise the internal governance infrastructure. Last week, you had a brief introduction to the work of one of these boards — the IT Governance board — when you helped the Chief Financial Officer and CFO staff put together a briefing to inform the board’s members about a technology problem. 

The work of the company’s governance boards and committees is extremely important since these groups plan, design, negotiate, implement and provide oversight for the processes, policies, procedures, and other mechanisms used to guide,  monitor, control, and assess the operations of the company. Each board is comprised of executives who each represent their functional areas or a group of internal stakeholders. Usually, there is a chair position that rotates among the members. If you would like to learn more about corporate governance in general, Deloitte’s report Developing an effective governance operating model: A guide for financial services boards and management teams provides a brief but comprehensive overview (see https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/global/Documents/Financial-Services/dttl-fsi-US-FSI-Developinganeffectivegovernance-031913.pdf). You may also find this article What is a management system?, from the International Standards Organization, helpful as it explains what a management system is and why standards are needed to define repeatable steps that organizations can use to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of their management activities.

The IT Governance board operates under authority delegated by the corporate governance board. This board’s charter gives it responsibility for governance, risk management, and compliance management (GRC) for corporate IT processes, policies, and technologies. Members of the board each serve for a three year term. Of the 24 members, 8 have just begun their terms.

The IT Governance board focuses upon ensuring that the company achieves maximum value for each dollar spent on information technology capabilities. The board’s members must exercise due diligence to ensure that the company complies with laws and regulations that apply to the use of Information Technology (including privacy and security requirements). The board is also charged with ensuring that the company complies with voluntary standards such as PCI-DSS since these have an impact on the company’s business operations (non compliance could result in the company not being permitted to receive payments via credit cards).

The next meeting of the IT Governance board will include a set of orientation briefings for the new members. Your assignment, as a support staffer, is to help prepare for this orientation meeting by developing a short (5-minute) briefing on one of the following IT management / IT security management frameworks, standards, and models.

  1. COBIT
  2. ITIL
  3. ISO 27001 (ISMS Program Management)
  4. NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  5. NIST Security and Privacy Controls (NIST SP 800-53)
  6. NIST Risk Management Framework (NIST SP 800-37)

See the weekly readings for information about your selected topic. Then, find additional sources on your own. (Each of these standards and frameworks is discussed in freely available materials on the Internet or in articles available through the university’s only library. There is no reason for you to pay for copies of any materials for this assignment.)

After you have researched your chosen framework, standard, or model, develop a written script for your briefing which you will deliver verbatim (as written). You should also prepare a one page handout for the board members to follow as you present your speech.

13

In   cell B9, insert a formula with a 3-D reference to cell B25 in the Friday   worksheet. Copy the formula to the range C9:E9.

14

Now   you want to use a function with a 3-D reference to calculate the totals.
 

  In cell B10 on the Week worksheet, insert the SUM function with a 3-D   reference to calculate the total Food purchases (cell B25) for the five days.   Copy the function to the range C10:E10.

15

The   servers are required to share a portion of their tips with the Beverage   Worker and Assistants. The rates are stored in another file.
 

  Open the Exp_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Rates.xlsx   workbook. Go back to the Exp_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Tips.xlsx   workbook. In cell F5 of the Week worksheet, insert a link to the Beverage   Worker Tip Rate (cell C4 in the Rates workbook) and multiply the rate by the   Monday Drinks (cell C5). Copy the formula to the range F6:F9.

16

Next,   you will calculate the tips for the assistant.
 

  In cell G5 in the Tips workbook, insert a link to the Assistant Tip Rate   (cell C5 in the Rates workbook) and multiply the rate by the Monday Subtotal   (cell D5). Copy the formula to the range G6:G9. Close the Rates workbook.
 

  Note: The tip is a monetary value in the Week worksheet. It should be   formatted for Accounting Number Format.

17

You   noticed a circular error when you first opened the Tips workbook. Now you   will find and correct it.
 

  On the Week worksheet, check for errors and correct the formula with the   circular reference. 

18

You   want to create a validation rule to prevent the user from accidentally   entering a negative value. For now, you will create a validation in the   Friday worksheet.
 

  Select the range E5:E24 in the Friday worksheet, create a validation rule to   allow a decimal value greater than or equal to zero. Enter the input message   title Tip and   the input message Enter the amount of tip. (including the   period). Use the Stop alert with the error alert title Invalid Number and the error   alert message   The tip must be zero or more. (including the period). Test the   data validation by attempting to enter -20 in cell E5 and then cancel the change.

19

Now   you will copy the validation settings to the other daily worksheets.
 

  Copy the range E5:E24 in the Friday worksheet. Group the Monday through   Thursday worksheets, select the range E5:E24, and use Paste Special   Validation to copy the validation settings.

20

You   want to unlock data-entry cells so that the user can change the tips in the   daily worksheets.
 

  Group the Monday through Friday worksheets. Select the ranges E5:E24 and   unlock these cells.

21

Create   footer with your name on the left side, the sheet name code in the center,   and the file name code on the right side of all worksheets.

22

Now   that you unlocked data-entry cells, you are ready to protect the worksheets   to prevent users from changing data in other cells. Individually, protect   each sheet using the default allowances without a password.

23

Mark   the workbook as final.
 

  Note: Mark as Final is not available in Excel for Mac. Instead, use Always   Open Read-Only on the Review tab.

24

Save   and close Exp19_Excel_Ch09_Cap_Assessment_Tips.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

Week#11 Discussion

 The readings this week expand on investigation and of digital forensic analysis and investigations. Organizations, especially those in the public, health and educational areas are bound by legal and statutory requirements to protect data and private information, therefore digital forensics analysis will be very beneficial when security breaches do occur. Using this weeks readings and your own research, discuss digital forensics and how it could be used in a risk management program.

—————-

2. The members of a systems development project team

have gone out for lunch together, and as often happens,

the conversation has turned to work. The team has been

working on the development of the user interface design,

and so far, work has been progressing smoothly. The

team should be completing work on the interface prototypes

early next week. A combination of storyboards and

language prototypes has been used in this project. The

storyboards depict the overall structure and flow of the

system, but the team developed language prototypes of

the actual screens because they felt that seeing the actual

screens would be valuable for the users.

Chris (the youngest member of the project team): I

read an article last night about a really cool way to

evaluate a user interface design. It’s called usability

testing, and it’s done by all the major software vendors.

I think we should use it to evaluate our interface design.

Heather (system analyst): I’ve heard of that, too, but

isn’t it really expensive?

Mark (project manager): I’m afraid it is expensive, and

I’m not sure we can justify the expense for this project.

Chris: But we really need to know that the interface

works. I thought this usability testing technique would

help us prove we have a good design.

Amy (systems analyst): It would, Chris, but there are

other ways, too. I assumed we’d do a thorough walkthrough

with our users and present the interface to them

at a meeting. We can project each interface screen so

that the users can see it and give us their reaction. This

is probably the most efficient way to get the users’

response to our work.

Heather: That’s true, but I’d sure like to see the users

sit down and work with the system. I’ve always learned

a lot by watching what they do, seeing where they get

confused, and hearing their comments and feedback.

Ryan (systems analyst): It seems to me that we’ve put

so much work into this interface design that all we

really need to do is review it ourselves. Let’s just make

a list of the design principles we’re most concerned

about and check it ourselves to make sure we’ve followed

them consistently. If we have, we should be fine.

We want to get moving on the implementation, you

know.

Mark: These are all good ideas. It seems like we’ve

all got a different view of how to evaluate the interface

design. Let’s try and sort out the technique that is best

for our project.

Develop a set of guidelines that can help a project

team like the one discussed here select the most appropriate

interface evaluation technique for their project.
