After completing the reading this week, we reflect on a few key concepts this week

 

  1. Discuss what ethical leadership is and how it impacts the organizational culture.
  2. What are the various dimensions of ethical leadership?
  3. Note some failures in ethical leadership, please find an example, explain the failure and note possible solutions to fix the issue with leadership.

Please be sure to answer all the questions above in the initial post.

Please ensure the initial post and two response posts are substantive. Substantive posts will do at least TWO of the following:

· Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic

· Expand on the topic, by adding additional thoughtful information

· Answer a question posted by another student in detail

· Share an applicable personal experience

· Provide an outside source

Term Paper

   

1. DEFINITION

This study is an individual work.

In this assignment, you will research applications of experimental design. Through a review of relevant literature, you will find two articles that present practical applications of DOE in industry (i.e. manufacturing, healthcare, banking, entertainment, construction, energy). The studies may target the same or different industries. You will submit one report that addresses the following in your own words:

· Identification of the industry

· Brief problem summary

· Factors studied

· Responses observed

· Experiment design strategy used

· Findings

Each study must be described in a separate section of your report addressing all the items listed above. The articles must include a practical application example. In your search you should focus on more recent publications (published in the year 2012 and beyond are acceptable).

Note that studies with only simple statistical analysis, for example two sample comparisons, are not acceptable for this assignment. The studies you report on must include experimental design methods such ANOVA, factorial design, fractional factorial design, etc.

Your literature material may consist of the following:

1- Peer reviewed research papers (journal papers or conference proceedings) 2- Case study and/or white papers

There must be two publications discussed in your report, and at least one of them must be a peer- reviewed paper.

2. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

· Use a word processing software to prepare your paper

· Provide complete references, use of Harvard citation style for your entries is strongly recommended, but APA citation style may be used if preferred.

HR 6 Research based

Prepare an 8 page APA style paper using the resources you have read in this course and at least 3 additional peer reviewed resources. Follow the writing requirements for this course. Include an introduction and conclusion in the paper. Remember to use APA formatted headings for each section of the paper and provide in text citations for all paraphrased and quoted material. This paper should address the following questions:

(1) Does Blockchain technology have the potential to cause the paradigm shift in business practices that many experts are predicting? Explain why or why not.  Support your answer with research. 

(2) Is there evidence to suggest that Blockchain technology will change the way HR is practiced? If there is, discuss that evidence. If there is not, what issues exist that impede its adoption?

(3) Which functions of human resource management could be most impacted by Blockchain technology? How might the HR functions change? Support your answer with research.

Course writing requirements:

  • References MUST be cited within your paper in APA format. Your reference page and in-text citations must match 100%. Papers without in-text citations will earn failing grades.
  • Always include a cover page and reference page with ALL submissions (even initial discussion posts) 
  • Provide the EXACT web link on the reference page citations for all online sources – do not provide just the home page, but the EXACT LINK – I check all sources
  • No abbreviations, no contractions – write formally
  • Write in the third person formal voice (no first or second person pronouns)
  • Write MORE than the minimum requirement of the word count assigned
  • As always, the word count is ONLY for the BODY of the paper – the cover page, reference page, and / or Appendix (if included) do not count towards the word count for the paper 
  • Indent the first line of each new paragraph five spaces
  • Refer to the example APA paper in the getting started folder under the content tab if you need an example. Also, a Power Point is provided under the information tab that addresses APA format.
  • Use double-spacing / zero point line spacing, a running header, page numbers, and left justify the margins.

Discuss in 500 words, how much redaction is necessary to anonymize an electronic health record. Is it enough to redact the name? The name and address? Is a medical record like a finger print?

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.   Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.  Make your initial post by Thursday 11:59 pm EST. Respond to two of your classmates by Sunday 11:59 pm EST.  

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about. Please do not submit attachments unless requested.

4) Instructions

Identify what are the different types of hash values. Then tell me, what is the recommended hash value and WHY (and see if you can find case law supporting this!)

Value of this assignment

When you lead an investigation then it is important for you to be comfortable with the different types of hash values as well as knowing what hash value your tool (hardware or software) will provide.

Knowing all this is helpful as part of your courtroom experience and/or if you want to cross-examine the forensic specialist.[1 page]

Discussion

Compare and contrast the difference of network security within an on-premise environment and a cloud environment. Give some examples of areas that are common and areas that are different.

Why are firewalls so important within an IT environment? What are the different firewalls and are all types still in use today?

List three network threats and list the IT infrastructure domain that the threat may harm. Why/How does those threats harm that particular domain?
