Prepare a 5 to 7 paragraph “Expert Opinion” for local government officials. This document should present a strategy for communicating with residents about a new “cybersecurity” policy that requires a user profile and password recovery information. Background: Due to increased hacking attempts against the Service Request system, the local government adopted the new policy without allowing time for public comment. There has been a significant amount of backlash including a protest by sports coaches and youth group leaders who were unable to file reservation requests for ball fields and meeting rooms in local Parks & Recreation facilities. To gain access to online services, the newly adopted “cybersecurity” policy requires users to establish a user profile that includes password recovery information The user profile registration form requires name, address, cell phone number, email address, date of birth, and the last four digits of the individual’s social security number. Setting up the password recovery section of the profile requires uses to provide answers to challenge questions that include disclosure of private information about the individual’s immediate and extended family members (names, birth places, schools, etc.). Your “Expert Opinion” (document) should address the following issues: How can the local government officials convince residents that this “invasion of privacy” (collection of personal information during account registration) is necessary and for their benefits? Should the local government suspend implementation of the new policy for 90 days (180 days?) to allow members of the public to comment on the new policy? Why or Why not? Identify and discuss an alternative to challenge questions as a means of authentication for the password recovery/reset process. Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.

Learning outcomes and assessment criteria specific to this assignment: On completion of the assignment, students should be able to demonstrate their ability to:  1. Critically analyse and evaluate the nature of the relationships between an organisations’ environment and forces for change. 2. Critically evaluate key issues arising from the management and leadership of change. 3. Critically appraise management and leadership responses in relation to change forces, and emerging organisational dynamics.  4. Structure and communicate ideas and arguments effectively in writing, and reference source materials consistently and accurately using the Harvard referencing system.  1. Assessment Overview  1.1. Overview The Assignment context “…the competencies that helped the current leaders succeed may not be appropriate for the next generation of leaders. Next generation leaders require different skills, behaviours, and insights for the challenges ahead…” (Conger 2004) One of the most significant of these challenges will be the necessity to understand change and its underpinning, emergent dynamics in order to lead and manage successful and sustainable organisational change. Many organisations such as CMI, CBI, CIPD conduct and commission research across a range of sectors to help inform effective organisational responses to the opportunities and threats arising from change.   1.2. Assessment Responding to the challenges of change:  a Briefing document This assignment requires you to conduct research, then plan and produce a 3000 word Briefing report Document. As a graduate you are likely to be involved with Briefing documents/papers to support a range of organisational activities, and will see them presented in various formats dependent on the purpose. They are often used within organisations to clearly and concisely present research findings when considering strategic options and choices. Given this purpose they are particularly helpful for contemporary organisations when trying to assess and make sense of strategic opportunities and threats generated by a complex and dynamic mix of both external and internal forces. Building on this feature effective briefing documents can then be used to inform and evaluate appropriate organisational responses in support of sustainable development and change.  2. Assessment Brief  2.1. Required task(s) The Briefing report document for this assignment has three sections and the requirements for each of the sections are introduced below; Section 1 (a) Select and justify an appropriate focus for the Briefing document (i.e. chosen sector/industry etc.). See the notes below offering ideas for shaping a focus. (b) Research and identify the current trends and drivers for change that are influencing and impacting on organisations operating within the chosen sector/industry. (c) Given the trends identified above identify two or three key areas of change that managers/leaders within organisations may be required to work with.  Section 2  Drawing on the key findings of Section1 you are required to apply ideas and theory from appropriate academic sources in order to evaluate how managers/leaders and organisations may respond effectively to key aspects of the organisational dynamics likely to be generated by the areas of change identified.  Section 3  As a conclusion the final section requires you to draw on the evaluation and discussion within the Briefing document to establish the key elements of learning in terms of approaches, skills and qualities etc. for leading/managing sustainable responses to change.

Imagine that you have just completed your business degree at uni and are applying for a very attractive position as Management Consultant in a prominent and reputable Consultancy firm. As part of the selection process applicants are required to research and write an essay about The Five Forces Analysis, to prove to the employer their subject-specific research, analytical, critical and writing skills and ability to use appropriately and confidently the terminology of strategic management. The selection process is highly competitive, therefore the higher the quality of your essay, the better the chances to be selected. Instructions Research and write an essay about the importance of The Five Forces Analysis as a key element of a thorough situation analysis, which precedes the choice of organisation’s strategy. Selecting the right strategy is instrumental in achieving successful performance and above-average profitability for the benefit of all stakeholders, and in line with the principle of the common good. The steps involved in developing and completing this assignments are as follows:  Use the Lecture Notes and your textbook to develop an initial understanding of what is Five Forces Analysis and how it is used. Research the seminal literature on this topic to expand further your understanding and appreciation of the concept. Seminal literature consists of books or academic articles, published in high quality journals some time ago, which have proposed and outlined the concept for a first time. For example, Jay Barney published the article “Firm Resources and Sustained Competitive Advantage,” in 1991 (in Journal of Management), in which he proposed the concept of the Resource-based View. The latter has since then developed into a powerful and influential theory explaining organisational performance as a direct function of company’s resources.                    Further guidance on searching for the seminal literature will be provided in a special presentation in class in week 2.  While reading the seminal literature, make sure you understand why the concept is an important part of strategic management (SM) and how it is related to situation analysis and the strategic management process, where does it fit within this process? To which other important strategic management concepts/principles/theories does it relate and how? After clarifying the exact meaning and origin of the concept, search the electronic databases in ACU Electronic library (e.g. Business Source Complete, Emerald, ABI/Inform, etc.) for some more recent developments of the concept, published in the last 5 years, to trace the evolution in thinking about the 5 Forces Analysis, including articles which critique the concept. Choose at least 5 appropriate articles using the following selection criteria: Quality of the journal which published the article. Only the best journals should be used, please check the list of recommended journals in your Unit Outline; The articles should be peer-reviewed, this means that low quality sources, such as trade journals, are totally unsuitable for the purposes of this assignment; Date of publication: the article has to have been published in the last 5 years; The nature of the article – use your judgement of whether the article is helpful in providing new insight about the concept, criticism of the concept, new linkages with other SM concepts and new views about its usefulness. After selecting the 5 articles, you need to read them very carefully and to analyse them in order to identify how they relate to your concept. Do they accept and reinforce the concept, do they add to it, do they critique it, or do they offer an example of how the concept have been successfully used in certain industries. If you aim to obtain a D/HD, then more articles (e.g. 8-10) should be analysed and discussed, to present a richer and more interesting analysis of the concept. Making notes about each of the above item is necessary while reading the literature. Synthesise the new insight on the concept that you have derived from the articles in your essay. That is, you need to show how the original concept has evolved over time and to indicate clearly in what ways it has evolved, what new extensions, developments, criticism and applications of the concept have been proposed recently. This will take you some time, as you will need to write a couple of drafts before you end up with a clear, interesting and insightful discussion about the concept, its evolution and use is strategic management.  To finish the paper, provide a conclusion, which needs to summarise the main findings of your research and outline why the content of the paper is important for scholars and practitioners of SM.
