It is easy to be taken in by cognitive biases, especially given that they operate at a subconscious or non-rational level. It is therefore important that we be aware of them. Accordingly, this week’s assignment will be a poster project in which you design warning posters. You will be creating three warning posters for three different cognitive biases. A warning poster might look something like this:

Begin by selecting three cognitive biases covered in this week’s reading or lectures. Using an online tool or application such as Microsoft Word, create three warning posters that explain the dangers behind the three cognitive biases you have selected. Each warning poster should contain the name of the cognitive bias, a very brief explanation of what it is, a message on how to avoid falling into it, and at least one image. All three posters should be different.

Feel free to be creative!

B. Identify a DIFFERENT management problem, relevant to the same case.

C. How would the research change between the two problems?

2. Question 6, page 62. In this question, the management problem is fairly clear–a trend of decreasing profits. Identify THREE different possible research questions.

3. Question 12, page 63. Ignore the questions in the text and answer the following:

• c. Identify three specific research questions that need answers.

4. Question 5, page 90. Ignore the questions in the text and answer the following: ( refer to Chap 4 in the attaches)

• a. What is the management problem? (Who is “management”? What, specifically, is going on that shouldn’t be going on?)
• b. Suggest a research approach (exploratory, descriptive, causal) that will address the hypothesis.
• c. Identify problems, either research or ethical problems, with your proposed approach.

5. Question 3, page 284. Identify the LEVEL of MEASUREMENT (not the “type” of scale). ( refer to Chap 11 in the attaches)

Imagine you have just taken over the manager position for your organization’sincident response team, after coming from another division in the company. Your first realization is that proper procedures, bestpractices, and sound technologies are not being utilized. You decide to revamp the team’s efforts.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Explicate
   the main efforts that would be included in the incident response
   efforts, including but not limited to personnel and team structure,
   tools and utilities, and proper procedures.
2. Discuss
   in detail the role that an IDS / IPS would play in the IR efforts, and
   explain how these systems can assist in the event notification,
   determination, and escalation processes.
3. Explain
   how the NIST SP800-61, Rev. 1 could assist the personnel in classifying
   incidents so each is identified appropriately and the proper
   incident-handling procedures are taken.
4. Explain how the use of log management systems (e.g., Splunk)
   could be a legitimate and useful component of the IR efforts, and
   describe the potential issues that could arise if not utilized.5.Use at
   least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia
   and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
  instructions.
• Include
  a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
  page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment
  page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Summarize the various types of disasters, response and recovery methods.
• Describe detection and decision-making capabilities in incident response.

Please note each question must include 150 word
minimum and one peer reviewed reference

Question A: How does our text
define conformity?  What are the three types of conformity?  Please
explain and give an example of each type of conformity?

Question B: According to social

For this assignment, you will summarize an editorial (opinion) piece found using the Internet. Then, you will write a letter to the editor in response to the editorial. It is not necessary to respond to every point in the editorial—and probably not possible. You may respond to only one point if you wish.

Note: Since this is a personal response, you may write in first person by using “I” in your writing.

Questions you might ask yourself:

• What is the author saying?
• How does the author go about saying it (i.e. the evidence, rhetorical strategies, and the like)?
• What is your evaluation of what is written and how it is written?

You will also complete two peer reviews of your classmates’ submissions.

Assignment Submission

Your letter to the editor has two parts: a summary of the editorial and a strong response. For the potential for full credit for this assignment, you must do four things:

1. Summarize the editorial in 150-175 words. Be sure you present the thesis and the major supporting points in an objective manner (i.e. do not insert your opinions).
2. Identify the editorial and author in the first sentence of your summary and include the link for your readers.
3. Write a response to the editor in 250-300 words. In your response, you may agree with one or two points, but you must also show how you “resist” the text by questioning it, or arguing with it or refuting it. It may be helpful to think of your response as a reaction to how the writer was trying to influence your thinking. Pay attention to the words used to name and describe, the details included, and any comparisons made. (The letter-to-the-editor format assumes readers have read the article, so you do not need to summarize it in the letter.)
4. Correctly use attributive tags in your response to indicate which ideas came from the press release and which are your own.
