The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tells a story about your personality or the personality of your colleagues. It can be a useful tool for identifying your personality traits, in both your work and personal life.

For this Discussion, you will take a simplified Myers-Briggs assessment and relate it to your organizational leadership style.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the Learning Resources for this week.
• Complete the following self-assessment.

Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

• When you’ve completed the self-assessment, review your personality type.

By Day 4

Post your personality type to the Discussion area (e.g., INFP, ESTJ).

• How does your Myers-Briggs personality type relate to your leadership style?
• What leadership theory do you think you would apply to leading an organization or department? Why? Be sure your answer relates to your Myers-Briggs personality type.

Below are some of the leadership theories you studied this week.

• The great man theories
• Trait theories
• Contingency theories
• Behavioral theories
• Situational leadership theory
• Transformational leadership

Provide two examples of situations that you might encounter in an organization and how, with respect to your score and one of the above theories, you would be likely to handle the situation.

Prior to engaging in this discussion, read Chapter 4: Cognition,  Learning, and the Environment in your required e-book, review the  article “Socially Situated Cognition in Perspective” and the Instructor  Guidance, and view the video What Are Schemas? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Cognition incorporates numerous variables that are suggested to  affect how we learn. For this discussion please address the following  theories that support this suggestion:

• Evaluate and discuss the applicability of Piaget’s theory of  cognitive development. Why are developmental phases important to  consider when addressing how we learn?
• How does effective schema development affect our ability to move knowledge (memories) from working memory to long-term memory? 
  • How do the differing types of schema (Table 4.2: Types of  comprehension-associated schema in your required e-book) potentially  play differing roles? Why might one type of schema be harder for a  person to develop than another?
• How does the term reciprocal determinism further explain the dynamic  of learning that is suggested to be affected by our environment?  (social learning theory and social cognitive theory)
• Based on your previous answers, how do these sub-theories and frameworks affect your own learning success, past and future?

The following scenario is based on an actual attack deconstructed at a seminar I attended earlier this year. The names and locations have been removed to preserve the privacy of the organization in question.

Background:

No-Internal-Controls, LLC is a mid-sized pharmaceutical company in the Midwest of the US employing around 150 employees. It has grown over the past decade by merging with other pharmaceutical companies and purchasing smaller firms.

Recently No-Internal-Controls, LLC suffered a ransomware attack. The company was able to recover from the attack with the assistance of a third party IT Services Company.

Attack Analysis:

After collecting evidence and analyzing the attack, the third party was able to recreate the attack.

No-Internal-Controls, LLC has a number of PCs configured for employee training

These training computers use generic logins such as “training1”, “training2”, etc. with passwords of “training1”, “training2”, etc.

The generic logins were not subject to lock out due to incorrect logins

One of the firms purchased by No-Internal-Controls, LLC allowed Remote Desktop connections from the Internet through the firewall to the internal network for remote employees

Due to high employee turnover and lack of documentation none all of the IT staff were aware of the legacy remote access 

The main office has only a single firewall and no DMZ or bastion host exists to mediate incoming remote desktop connections

The internal network utilized a flat architecture

An attacker discovered the access by use of a port scan and used a dictionary attack to gain access to one of the training computers

The attacker ran a script on the compromised machine to elevate his access privileges and gain administrator access

The attacker installed tools on the compromised host to scan the network and identify network shares

The attacker copied ransomware into the network shares for the accounting department allowing it spread through the network and encrypt accounting files

Critical accounting files were backed up and were recovered, but some incidental department and personal files were lost

Instructions:

You have been hired by No-Internal-Controls, LLC in the newly created role of CISO and have been asked to place priority on mitigating further attacks of this type.

• Suggest one or more policies that would help mitigate against attacks similar to this attack
• Suggest one or more controls to support each policy
• Identify each of the controls as physical, administrative, or technical and preventative, detective, or corrective.
• Keep in mind that No-Internal-Controls, LLC is a mid-sized company with a small IT staff and limited budget
• Do not attempt to write full policies, simply summarize each policy you suggest in one or two sentences.  
• Clearly indicate how each policy you suggest will help mitigate similar attacks and how each control will support the associated policy
• 3-5 pages in length.
• APA format.. citations, references etc…

After looking over the video discussing the generators that were attempted to be distributed through price gouging, my thoughts on the topic is that price gouging is in actuality is a way to contribute toward personal benefits during a time of natural disaster and done for more of the sellers benefits other than the consumers.  My concept from this video is no one can be a hundred percent ready for a natural disaster, so more than half of the population falls in to the victim range. If you’re a victim of a natural disaster as a victim, you should not have to dish out money because of an uncontrollable event that occur with money that’s you don’t have to spend.  A natural disaster is an uncontrollable circumstance that for someone who is not a victim should not be able to benefit and take excess money from those that have lost everything under unfortunate circumstances.  Graph A and graph C is what would be the best fit in a natural disaster of price gouging.   All Daily living necessities such as water, food, generators, and gas would fall into both graphs A and C.

Q5. Discuss the Internet marketing possibilities for the product/service. (Ch. 21) (Turbo Tax)

Modern marketing calls for more than developing a good product, pricing it attractively, and making it accessible. Companies must also communicate with present and potential stakeholders and the general public. For most, therefore, the question is not whether to communicate but rather what to say, how and when to say it, to whom, and how often. But communications get harder as more and more companies clamor to grab an increasingly empowered consumer’s divided attention. Consumers themselves are taking a more active role in the communication process and deciding what communications they want to receive and how they want to communicate to others about the products and services they use. To effectively reach and influence target markets, holistic marketers are creatively employing multiple forms of communications.
