Project 1: Vulnerability and Threat Assessment
Start Here
Print Project
Vulnerabilities are security holes or flaws that can leave a system open to attack. These may be from an inherent weakness in the system itself, in procedures used, external sources, or anything that may leave information exposed.
A threat is an event that has the potential to damage an organization or any part of it. Threats can be human or nonhuman.
It is important that organizations actively assess their vulnerabilities and threats as well as ways to address them. In this project, you will perform a vulnerability assessment, which identifies, classifies, and ranks the vulnerabilities for your organization from a disaster-management perspective.
The assessment will be completed in a series of steps. You will classify and prioritize threats, assess vulnerabilities, and include a “lessons learned” section as part of the assessment.
Your final document will be seven plus pages long, not including charts and graphics, and will include appendices, including a vulnerability assessment matrix. Throughout the process, you will be submitting portions of the document to your instructor for feedback so you can adjust materials before submitting the final assessment.
You will be assessed on the coherence, inclusiveness, and feasibility of your findings and recommendations on the vulnerabilities of an organization from a disaster-management perspective.
This is the first of four sequential projects in this course. There are 12 steps in this project. Now that you have an idea of the task ahead, review the scenario next to get started.

Assignment Details Seeing Value in Both Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods This course aims to provide a valuable component in your toolbox of professional skills when you are dealing with real-world decisions. Much of your training will emphasize qualitative methods as a primary approach to understanding organizations, but there is a time and a place for each method. Based upon your desired outcome, many research questions can be approached through a qualitative or quantitative research method. It is up to the researcher to determine which method to use, and each method provides different information to address the research question. Scenario An organization has struggled financially against a very competitive product market and needs to change or shut down. Discuss the following: Suggest an appropriate qualitative and quantitative approach. What would be the advantage of each choice? How would each research methodology help the organization survive? What benefits would be achieved by each approach? Be substantive and clear, and use scholarly support to reinforce your ideas.

read very very carefully please >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>interview a manager, any manager, to learn about his/her roles, skills, challenges and issues that are important in the workplace today and in the future. The manager can be your current manager, a former manager, a family member or a friend who is a manager, a manager at a local business, a manager at any level. For the purposes of this paper a manager is anyone who currently supervises employees or volunteers. This needs to be an interview done for this class – it is a violation of academic integrity to “recycle” previous assignments without the instructor’s knowledge and permission. It is also a violation of academic integrity to use artificial intelligence or an LLM in writing your paper.
Discuss with that manager:
Their manager level, title, and number of employees s/he manages.
Their roles (use Mintzberg’s roles from the text as your guide).
The skills needed to complete these roles (using Katz as your guide).
Their current greatest challenge today; greatest challenge over the next 5 years or so.
The most critical issue in the workplace today; critical issue over the next 5 years or so.
Two other topics of your choosing, broad or narrow, similar or different – it doesn’t matter to me, just pick two topics that you are interested and/or topics that same pertinent to the business/manager at hand. Include these topics in your interview and in your write-up.
Basic information about the company [basic financial information of available (e.g., revenue…), number of employees, product or service].
What you will need to submit:
1. The Manager’s name and contact information (organization, title, address and phone).
2. The responses to 1-7 above, and your thoughts on the manager’s responses.
The format of the write-up:
The format is up to you. You can transcribe the interview. For example:
“ Your Name”: What is your managerial level?
“ Manager’s Name”: I am a mid-level manager and my title is…
Or you can write it in a case study format: At “Company Name”, “ Manager Name” is a mid-level manager who is faced with the challenges…
I am always flexible on page length (content is more important to me – I will be looking for responses to 1-7 above), but I would expect around 4-5 pages, double-spaced, 1 inch margins, 12-point font size. Please include your name in the first line of the body of your report.
Late submissions will not be accepted. I strongly encourage you to submit early so that you are not bothered by last minute issues that may lead you to miss the deadline. Given that you have several weeks in which to turn this assignment in, no late submissions will be accepted.
