Structuring Global Coordination Many transnational firms use lateral steering groups as part of their global coordination. For this week’s discussion, you are the HR director of such a transnational firm that has a manufacturing business divided into six major trades being established in India while the corporate headquarters is in San Diego, California. While there are many management design options available to you (i.e., internal boards, formal or informal, functional councils, product development committee, a regional board, or a single person that has vertical functional responsibility for the whole operation), discuss the challenges in using the Lateral Steering Group management design.

Select one of the four critical operational domains (resource utilization, global competence manager, global account manager, and alliance manager) that require lateral leadership, and explain how you will incorporate lateral steering into the transnational firm.

“Transfer Pricing”

• Use the Internet and/or Strayer Library to research transfer pricing problems and issues of multinational companies. According to the text, the possible methods for determining transfer pricing of goods between divisions are negotiated transfer prices, cost-based transfer prices, and market-based transfer prices. Assess the major potential problems that a multinational firm could encounter when using negotiated transfer pricing instead of market-based transfer pricing. Provide one (1) recommendation to the firm on how to avoid these problems

Project 4 Solving the Cybersecurity Workforce Crisis

For this project, you will research and report on the cybersecurity workforce crisis as it affects state governments. Your audience will be the members of an organization for state government officials such as the National Governor’s Association and the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. The results of your research project will help develop a one-day workshop on strategies for developing and growing the cybersecurity workforce at the state government level.

Research:

• Read / Review the Week 5 readings.
• Research authoritative sources which discuss the reasons why the cybersecurity workforce crisis exists.

• A separate closing section in which you summarize your research and recommendations.

Write:

Write a three- to four-page research report that includes a summary of your research, findings, and recommendations. At a minimum, your paper must include the following:

1.An introduction or overview of the cybersecurity workforce issues which impact State governments. This overview should address the political, economic, socio-cultural (including education), and technological factors that contribute to the perceived lack of qualified cybersecurity workers. This introduction should be suitable for an executive audience.

2.A separate section that addresses five specific reasons why states have difficulty hiring enough trained and qualified cybersecurity workers for positions in state agencies and offices.

3.A separate section that addresses five specific “non-cybersecurity” reasons why a workforce shortage affecting state governments may currently exist. Consider and discuss whether the workforce shortage arises out of state budget problems rather than training and education or salary.

4.A recommendations section which identifies and discusses at least five training, education, marketing, or hiring actions that state governments could take to attract cybersecurity talent and reduce or alleviate a cybersecurity workforce shortage for trained and qualified cybersecurity personnel. These recommendations should include several alternative practices which deemphasize salary.

5.A separate Summary section in which you present a summary of your research and recommendations.

Though writers of The Renaissance and Early 16th Century wrote of love and hope and God and dreams, so too did they write of things of contemporary, earthly, immediate concern…things related to social ills, political matters, religious disorder. For example, Sir Philip Sidney wrote of an idealized love, while John Milton with Areopagitica wrote of a crisis of import to government and people. In other words, the writers of the time were attentive to both the possibilities of human love and sexuality and divine adoration, as well as to some key and fundamental concerns of their times, exposing them and offering solutions. What becomes even more interesting about these texts, however, as we read and discuss them all these hundreds of years later, is the way in which their earlier interests and concerns so often mimic and mirror our own…what they were concerned about then, in other words, was very similar to what we are concerned about now. And that is what I would like you to discuss. I would like, please, you to point out, using specific references from each text, what two different authors exposed as either a personal or social concern, and then discuss at length the ways in which you see that/those concerns reflected in our own society today. Please keep in mind as you do this, that you offer examples from BOTH chosen texts, that those examples are specific in terms of quotations/discussion of that quotation, that you follow the textual discussion with specific references to specific instances in our own personal or communal society that relate to your textual examples, and that you fully, carefully, and thoughtfully explain those specific current examples in terms of their connection to then and their importance in now.

Some guidelines:

• Aim for two full paragraphs, each paragraph, I would suggest, devoted to one of the two texts.
• Be sure to identify the title of the text (and remember, since these are longer prose works you must use italics) in the first sentence of each paragraph
• Also in the first sentence you will likely find it useful to state clearly the personal or social concern of the text and today, which will help guide your discussion
• You must choose one text to discuss from the ‘personal interest’ perspective and one from the ‘social concern’ perspective
• You will want to provide at LEAST one direct quotation from each text in order to support your theme/claim, though one or two more than that would be effective
• Keep in mind that a quotation should never just ‘hang’ alone…that is, you must explain how/why it is important and significant support for your theme/claim
• Avoid mere plot summary…this is analysis
• You should devote equal time to your consideration of the personal interest and social concern from BOTH authors and to the way it relates to/is shared by our society today
• Remember, these two paragraphs should be well-developed and filled with specific detail…I cannot, in other words, stress enough how important it is that you point to one specific textual concern, show it at play in the text, and share how you see it revealed still today
• Remain aware that such matters as punctuation, grammar, spelling, and style are not just courtesies but also requirements
