Managing Internationally and Security Policies

1) Using the guidelines provided in this week's chapter (and other resources as needed), create a step-by-step IT security policy for handling user accounts/rights for a student who is leaving prematurely (drops, is expelled, and so on).

You will need to consider specialized student scenarios, such as a student who works as an assistant to a faculty member or as a lab assistant in a computer lab and may have access to resources most students do not.

2) Cultural differences, while difficult to observe and measure, are obviously very important. Failure to appreciate and account for them can lead to embarrassing blunders, strain relationships, and drag down business performance. While some organizations are able to make cultural diversity a source of advantage, others do not.  Identify a recent situation in the news in which an organization failed to consider the various cultural norms of stakeholders. Where did they fail and what would you recommend based on your readings, research, and Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions?

Discussion Question due by Day Four (Thursday) @ 11:59 PM (EST) and 2 Responses to Fellow Students due by Day Seven (Sunday) @ 11:59 PM (EST).
