Why is cyber-criminal a hot topic but it never properly solved?

/in /by

The detail The topic: cyber-security and its challenges faced by organisations
The research problem is found so far: The biggest problem my team faced when we do the research on this topic is that there are lack of valuable articles and evaluated information about the topic of cyber security. There maybe has a mountain of articles about cyber breaching, cyber-criminal or achievement of cyber security but they are fragmentary, and the data are not vetted or in high- quality. Therefore, we think it will be hard to draw a big conclusion on the challenges cyber-security’s picture.
Questions raised for this topic:
Why is cyber-criminal a hot topic but it never properly solved?
Why is it hard to achieve cyber-security?
What is the cyber-criminals’ trending in recent years?
Insider and outsider’s factor which one is the most challenge for business’s secure?
Should be Government involved in a cyber-security strategy?
Are Small and big firms the same at risk for cyber-attacks?
Theories applied I did find and use for this topic so far:
Akers’ social learning theory, and models
The task for my requirement:
The literature review:
Finding at least 12 sources Which
1. Draw the reader’s attention to any contrasting views expressed in prior research in this area and give your view of how differing opinions can be brought together to help answer the research question and ultimately resolve the research problem. [the more comprehensive your literature review, the better.
2. Report how it has brought you closer to an answer to your research question(s).

• The sources are highly recommended by using Proquest or Use electronic databases – SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index) (wok.mimas.ac.uk), ABI/INFORM (proquest.com) – EBSCO (epnet.com)

 What additional information would help make a case as to whether the behavior(s) should be considered “abnormal?” 

/in /by

Part II:  Consider the following situations in light of your readings this week. Would any of these behaviors be rightly considered “abnormal?” Read through each and post your thoughts on at least two of the scenarios below, ideally choosing DIFFERENT scenarios than your classmates. What additional information would help make a case as to whether the behavior(s) should be considered “abnormal?” Under what conditions might some of these behaviors be considered “normal?” Are there instances where cultural differences might have an important role in your decision?
1. Your brother consumes a six pack of beer per day; he sometimes misses class or goes in late to work on Monday mornings.
2. One of your graduate school classmates spends 15 or more hours per day conducting experiments or doing library reading and records observations on color-coded index cards.
3. A woman at your job has vague physical complaints and sees 2-3 doctors a month.
4. Your neighbor sweeps, washes, and scrubs his driveway daily.
5. Your cousin is pregnant and is dieting (1400 calories per day) so that she will not get “too fat” with the pregnancy.
6. A man’s wife died within the last three months.  The widower appears to talk to himself in the yard, wears the same clothes each day, and has lost some weight.
7. A Secret Service agent steps in front of the President of the United States, prepared to be killed or injured if the President’s safety is threatened.

Which of these 8 cost categories would be considered variable, and which fixed? Explain why.

The corporation you work for has asked for a summary and report of the future projections for the next 5 years. With the help of your CFO, you have put together the following preliminary budget figures based on last year’s numbers for a planned production and sales level of 4,000 units per year:
Building depreciation
$200,000/yr.
Machine operators
$100,000/yr.
Management staff
$400,000/yr.
Direct materials
$4,000,000/yr.
Other expenses that seem to vary based on production levels
$3,000,000/yr.
Other expenses that don’t seem to vary
$1,300,000/yr.
Selling price per unit
$5,000/unit
Utilities:
This category is difficult to analyze; a part of it is related to the building’s heat and light, whereas a part of it is used in the manufacturing process itself. You have the following data to which you will apply the high–low method:
When there is no production, utility costs are $20,000/month
When production levels reached 4,000 units/month, utility costs totaled $40,000/month
You are planning for the future and working on a report based on data from last year’s actual performance. You are going to calculate various figures, including the contribution margin per unit, contribution margin ratio, breakeven level in dollars, and breakeven level in units to answer some important questions regarding your data.
Using only the data from last year’s actual performance, create an Excel report that answers the questions below, showing all calculations. After completing your Excel computations, in Microsoft Word, write a professional memo to the executive committee analyzing the calculations from your report. Within the memo, give your opinion based upon the numbers as to whether production seems to be budgeted properly, and whether the corporation can make an adequate profit above breakeven levels. Please explain your rationale, and include answers to the following:
Which of these 8 cost categories would be considered variable, and which fixed? Explain why.
Which costs would be considered mixed (e.g., semi-variable or semi-fixed)?
Ignoring utility costs altogether, compute the contribution margin per unit, in dollars and in percentage, and the breakeven level of sales.
Ignoring utility costs altogether, if instead of breaking even, the firm wants to make $10,000/month profit, answer the following:
How many units must be sold each month?
To how many sales dollars is this unit volume equivalent?
In year 2, the CEO plans to add $300,000/yr. expenses in added administrative salaried headcount. Ignoring utility costs altogether, how many additional units must be sold just to pay for this added expense?
Show ALL calculations.
