Today’s Global Economy is very top-down driven with the government making all the decisions and regulations as it relates to doing business globally.  What are some advantages and disadvantages to this approach?  Is there another approach that might work better?

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic

Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor

Provide extensive additional information on the topic

Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail

Share an applicable personal experience

Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)

Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

Based on the vulnerabilities found via nmap, use Metasploit to compromise the Windows XP machine. Gain shell access and transfer a file of your choice from the target machine to your Kali machine. Also, perform a remote screen capture using Metasploit of the compromised machine. You will need to use an auxiliary module to do this. Finally, install the persistence Meterpreter service. Be sure to document each step you take with both screen shots and descriptions of the commands employed. Tip: In metasploit you can use “search” keyword to find the exact vulnerability and payload you want to use Tip 2: You can exploit any vulnerability on the WinXP machine, but MS08-067 works very well.

 What to Submit: Provide a report of your work. For each task, give a complete description of your steps, include all commands used, the reason why each command was used, and screenshots of the steps employed during your attack using the Metasploit framework. Perform screen captures of both the Metasploit and target machine, show the commands used and results to prove that you have accomplished each of the following steps:  PAGE 3 OF 3 [20 pts] Obtain shell access to the Windows XP machine using the Meterpreter payload and set all necessary Metasploit options correctly. [10 pts] Transfer a file of your choice from the target machine to your Kali machine. [10 pts] Perform a remote screen capture of the compromised machine using Metasploit. This can be done in various ways; one way is to using an auxiliary module. [20 pts] Install the persistence Meterpreter service on the Windows XP machine that will automatically connect back when the system boots. Reboot the Windows XP machine and show that it automatically connects back to the Kali machine.

The project entails you creating your own technology roadmap based on either your current work technology map or you may create a personal technology roadmap to keep as your own portfolio.

 Sample templates and websites that you may find helpful in Week 14. 

• Roadmunk – How to create a technology roadmap
• OfficeTimeline – Make presentation roadmap now

The assignment should be in APA format 

Please answer each below in 2-3 lines 

1. Should society help workers dislocated when technology, like the Internet, elimlnates their jobs in a process called ‘ Creative Destruction‘?

2. are we working more and earning less?

3. Would you want a telecommuting job? Why or why not? 

4. Does the gig economy appeal to you? Why or why not?

5. How is an employee differentiated from a contracter under US law? 

6. Why have some municipalities put restrictions on innovations in the sharing economy and in on-demand services?

7. What has been the effect on the US economy of outsourcing (or offshoring) technical and professional jobs? 

8. How much monitoring of employee activities at work is appropriate? 

9. Should an employer be able to discipline or terminate an employee for on-line behavior in his/her own time? 

10. What is the relationship betwee BYOD (bring your own device) and shadow IT. 

11. What is cyberloafing?

The attached journal article focuses on attribution theory and how it influences the implementation of innovation technologies. Two types of employee attributions are noted in the article (intentionality and deceptive intentionality), please review these concepts and answer the following questions:

1.    Provide a high-level overview/ summary of the case study

2.    Note how constructive intentionality impacts innovation implementations

3.    Find another article that adds to the overall findings of the case and note how attribution-based perspective enhances successful innovation implementations.  Please be explicit and detailed in answering this question.

Format Requirements:

1. The paper must be minimum 3 pages excluding title and references pages. 

2. Include references of at least 5 peer reviewed papers supporting your case study. 

3. The paper must comply APA Format and include a cover page, an  introduction, a body with fully developed content, a conclusion and  references.

Read the case study “Teloxy Engineering (A)” on page 948 attached and answer the corresponding questions on the same page.

Questions

1. Using the expected value, is it economically better to make or buy the component?

2. Strategically thinking, why might management opt for other than the most economical choice?

Create a PowerPoint that contains a FLOWCHART and a PSEUDOCODE for each problem (You may use a different application if PowerPoint is not available).

Use the information below to create a pseudocode (which can be a text-based description for solving the problems) and a flowchart (using flowchart symbols to illustrate how you would program) to solve each problem. Use Microsoft PowerPoint® for Pseudocode and the flowchart (You may use a different application if PowerPoint is not available)..

• Problem 1: Create a list that contains the months of the year.
• Problem 2: Create a loop to print the month number and name (do not hard code the month number)

Write one page on how data mining helps to gain competitive advantage for businesses. Include at least 2 references and in-text citation.

 This week’s reading centered around how Big Data analytics can be used with Smart Cities. This is exciting and can provide many benefits to individuals as well as organizations. For this week’s research assignment, you are to search the Internet for other uses of Big Data in RADICAL platforms. Please pick an organization or two and discuss the usage of big data in RADICAL platforms including how big data analytics is used in those situations as well as with Smart Cities. Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is the 2nd best option to use for research.Your paper should meet these requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
• 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.

Design and write an algorithm to find all the common elements in two sorted lists of numbers. For example, for the lists 2, 5, 5, 5 and 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, the output should be 2, 5, 5. What is the maximum number of comparisons your algorithm makes if the lengths of the two given lists are m and n, respectively?
