Why TopCop software company should not go global.

/in /by

TopCop Software A small business name TopCop developed a new software package for small businesses to help detect cyber -attacks. The software could be used as a stand-alone product or easily integrated with other major software cyber detection tools. The software is compliant with cyber standards in the United States and with the United Nations. The timing is great, cyber-attacks are increasing world-wide and small businesses would appear to be the largest victims. To take advantage of this growing world –wide need, the business owners brought in two former colleagues as partners and were soon able to catch the attention of a venture capitalist firm to gain additional funding. With then two years, TopCop had twenty-eight employees and sales had reached nearly $5 million. Now, TopCop is facing its first major problem. They have learned of a new company based in London that is beta testing a new cyber detection product that promised to outpace TopCop and the new company has been talking about global aspirations. Some in TopCop believe that if they stay focused on the United States and the other company starts out as a global player, TopCop will be killed within months. Some in topCop argue that they must come up with an international strategy to deal with this emerging competition. The leadership of TopCop has gathered opinions and ides from their partners, employees, advisors and friends. And made a decision not to go global and focus on the local market in the United states because of their resources are too thin, and also rapid global expansion could also spell disaster for the company. Some have pointed out that none of their managers have international experience and the company would have to hire someone with significant global experience. Write an essay to explain why focusing on the market in the US and not expand is the best option for a small company like TopCop

In addition, you have read the course text and course readings, reviewed videos, and researched additional material for each week’s assignments and this paper. This week, you will put all of those outlines, readings, reviews, and research together to evaluate policymaking and government program administration into one Final Paper. As we wrap up our course, reflect on what you have learned about the key structures, systems, roles, and processes that embody our national government. Think about the strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages, and positive and negative impacts of these aspects of our democracy. Use what you have learned so far to evaluate a specific policy of our national government and recommend ways to enhance what works and repair what is not working well. It is important that your Final Paper utilizes your previous research and assignments, including the feedback that you received from the Ashford Writing Center in Week 4. The assignment should also showcase what you have learned in the course. While your previous assignments will serve as a strong base for this assignment, it is very important that you implement feedback from your instructor and the Ashford Writing Center, as well as further expand on the material. Appropriate transitions and headings are needed to ensure a cohesive Final Paper. Scaffold your paper around the following outline: • Title page • Introduction (half page) o Describe the paper’s overall thesis. o Provide an overview of main points. • First Main Point (one to one and a half pages) describes the historical and Constitutional basis of American government’s structure and how this relates to the policy. o Describe the main point. o Support the main point with research. • Second Main Point (one to one and a half pages) explains how the policy is involved within the process of checks and balances. o Describe the main point. o Support the main point with research. • Third Main Point (one to one and a half pages) describes how the policy relates to public policy and elections and how the policy is portrayed by the media. o Describe the main point. o Support the main point with research. • Fourth Main Point (one to one and a half pages) explains how the policy impacts voting and the election process. o Describe the main point. o Support the main point with research. • Conclusion o Review your main points. o Review your overall thesis. • References page The Final Paper Assignment • Must be at least six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA Style (Links to an external site.) as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.). • Must include a separate title page with the following: o Title of paper o Student’s name o Course name and number o Instructor’s name o Date submitted • Must use at least eight scholarly sources in addition to the course text. A minimum of five of the resources must be from peer-reviewed scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library. o The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types.

Time machine

/in /by

You find yourself in a Time Machine and you quickly see an instruction sheet next to a computer screen. The instruction sheet informs you that you need to stop in the Franco- prussian war period. You will need to know about this place and time. You will need to be able to converse about events occurring, and those that happened immediately before that influence this period. To do this, you should choose a location that most intrigued you with the discussions In the essay describe what you see, what you hear, what is being said amongst the public and elite. You will need to choose at least four primary source documents to use in your essay (you must cite these), and you will need to explain why this period is so significant in your viewpoint (at least two must be ones we have used in this course: use the History Department resources tab see the syllabus, for more). After all, you did stop your time machine here. Some other points to consider: what problems do you see occurring, how does this period compare to modern civilization, and can this period (or place, depending on how you frame yourself) compare to a place you have lived or visited? Additionally, you should find at least two photos of the place you visit (use a Google Image search, of course cite these, and they do not count as part of the five pages of text). When you find these photos, do not use the first ones you find. Search the images and even scroll down a few pages. Looking at the pictures will also help you define your story (think back to the lessons and all of the visual material that I’ve used in class . . . images are part of the text and narrative, as they expand, refine, and explain daily life).
