Due Week 4 and worth 175 points In the land of free trade, the public does not view all industries as equal. Do you believe that is ethical? Do you believe that some industries are unfairly targeted? Should it be consumers’ choice to partake in products that are not healthy for them, or do those companies have an ethical obligation to protect people? In this assignment, you will choose one (1) industry to write about. Possible industries to research could be tobacco, soda, alcohol, casinos, or candy companies, just to name a few. Write a one and a half to two (1½ – 2) page paper in which you:  The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:  Click to view the grading rubric. 

For this assignment, imagine that you are a cybersecurity consultant hired to identify the most significant cybersecurity threats to a company. You can choose any of the following companies: AmazonBoeingCiscoCostcoComcastExxon-MobilWells-Fargo BankYour local electric utility Your local hospital If you want to choose a different company, ask and you may be allowed to. Just be sure to ask early enough. Write a memo to the CEO of the company describing what you believe are the three most serious threats to the company from cyberattacks. These could be attacks directly against the company, or attacks against others than have indirect effect on the company. You memo should describe the threat and who the threat would be coming from (e.g., competitors, disgruntled employees, foreign governments, etc.). You should mention if similar attacks have happened against other companies, since that would be more likely to cause the CEO to pay attention. Keep in mind that the audience for this memo is a CEO. Don’t tell the CEO that the company’s webserver is susceptible to SQL injection – they don’t know what that means and they don’t need to. That’s a topic for a memo to someone much lower in the company. Also, don’t try to tell the CEO what they should be doing to prevent the threats, just tell them about the threats. If they are happy with your work, you will get a follow-on contract where you can provide suggestions for what they can do to prevent them, but not now. The format of the memo must follow the instructions found in the ADMG385MemoFormatting.pdf file (located in the week 5 module). If you’ve taken ADMG 385 you’ve probably seen this. Note that the document is both instructions for how to write a memo, and an example of a memo. And notice how the memo is broken into paragraphs. Some students seem to have great difficulty breaking their writing into paragraphs, but it is much easier to read in smaller paragraphs. Do it! If you have letterhead that you can write your memo on, either from another class or from your own business or wherever, great, use it. Professional letterhead always makes a memo look better, and you are a professional cybersecurity consultant. But letterhead is not required for the assignment. In the memo, the “To” line should not have my name in it, nor should the memo reference this class. Write it as a memo to the CEO of the company you have chosen. The body of the memo must be at least 400 words long. This assignment is worth 5 points total:4 points for the content of the body of the memo. Do you clearly describe the threats so that the CEO can understand? Did you spell check and proof read? If less than 400 words, as usual the maximum score will be reduced proportionately.1 point for following the instructions on how to write a memo. I will be pickier on this assignment than previous ones about spell checking and other errors, The audience for this memo is not your instructor, the audience is a CEO of a corporation that is paying you a crazy amount of money to write this memo. Show them you are worth it and should get that follow-on contract!

Project description
Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, has said that one of the key elements of being a good business leader is the capacity to tell the hard truths. “Leaders struggle with this problem all the time,” says Dr. David Thomas of the Harvard Business School. “From a leadership point of view, you always want to move toward telling the hard truths and helping people cope with the realities of change. But as a manager, you might be more inclined to minimize the complexity of a situation so things can run smoothly for as long as possible. It’s often a judgment call.”

Memo #5 invites you to look at this business problem in the context of the organization with which you have the greatest familiarity the College of Business. How does, or rather how should, a professor at a College of Business deal with this problem? Should a professor tell students the hard truth or should he or she smooth things over as Dr. Thomas suggests. In essence, should professors treat students as they themselves would want to be treated? Or does their different position in the classroom/organization impose an imperative on them to treat students differently?

To make this assignment even more specific, this memo is to be directed to the CEO of your class me. In other words — keeping the above problem in mind — can you come up with specific suggestions as to how I can improve this course?

If youre having a hard time thinking of specific improvements in the course structure, then try to think of any questions you may still have about the topic of management and that may have gone unaddressed in the course of the semester. In the future, Mr. Professor, you may want to also cover the topic of.

Please note, writing to your CEO is obviously a tricky and delicate business. Too much honesty might result in alienation; too little might label you as a brown-nose, someone who only tells the boss what he or she wants to hear; neither obviously is desirable. (For further definitions of brown-nose, please see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/brown-nose).

To help make your point, I invite you to include a reference to a specific article on the Web, but please note, unlike in Memo #2, an attachment is not a requirement. Its up to you as to how you will tackle the issue. If you think your words alone will suffice then so be it. If you want to include a reference to another source, then in my opinion so much the better. The choice is yours. Good luck!
