economics
What is the cost to a firm in an oligopoly that fails to take rivals’ actions into
account? Suppose the firm operates along demand curve D1, shown below, as if no
firms will follow its lead in price cuts or price rises. In fact, however, other
firms do follow the price cuts, and the true demand
Cybersquatting
In some cases, individuals engage in cybersquatting so that they can sell the domain names to companies expensively. In other cases, companies engage in cybersquatting by registering domain names that are very similar to their competitors’ domain names in order to generate traffic from people who misspell Web addresses. Discuss each practice in terms of its ethical nature and legality. Is there a difference between the two practices? Support your answer.

Why government will fix macroeconomic failure
Why government will fix macroeconomic failure
economics
A- Fiscal policies can work only if private enterprises respond to them in certain
way; if they respond in other ways, the policies fail. Explain
and give examples.
B- Can the government make things worse by intervening in markets? Are there other
options outside the markets and government that will fix
macroeconomic failure?
C- “Big government is always harmful to owners of private enterprises, while small
government is always good for them.” Explain, using examples, why you either agree
or disagree with this quotation.

– Information Security Mapping Case Study
1: Identify the importance of information to organisations and society in general;
2: Describe and apply concepts, principles and techniques relating to the security
of information; and
3: Demonstrate an understanding of the advantages, disadvantages, threats, and
vulnerabilities associated with various IT environments.
Background:
John Smith is the Community Liaison Officer for Kleen Communication & Media Ltd
based in Perth, Western Australia. Kleen Communication & Media Ltd is an inventive
company developing and selling social media marketing to small businesses. The
design and production of all products is handled electronically, directly with each
business. Kleen Communication & Media Ltd currently has 40% of the market in WA,
with the remaining 50% held by much larger advertising agencies, and the final 10%
by those developing mobile apps for social media marketing. John spends half of his
day on the road in the Perth metro area visiting small businesses who may wish to
purchase and social media marketing into their existing marketing activities.
Consequently, John carries a laptop, smart phone and Surface Pro 4 with him
everywhere he goes. The laptop encompasses an Intel i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, and is running
Windows 10 Professional with the last Windows update applied towards the end of
January, 2015. When in the office John connects his laptop and Surface Pro to the
company network.
John predominantly uses Microsoft Office Professional 2013 for all his business
needs. Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel contain the information for all clients
within Western Australia, as well as client confidential business and financial
information. John is not well informed about information security although he uses
computing technology to support his job. As a result John does not use third party
firewalls, anti-virus software, encryption, or authentication mechanisms.
While on the road, John occasionally leaves his laptop in the car. He also
frequently visits Internet cafes for lunch where he utilises the Internet for up to
an hour each day. The confidentiality of information is important as any disclosure
could cause significant embarrassment to him and the company, as well as impact
client privacy and confidence. Also, John must provide correct, factual information
to all clients hence ensuring the integrity of information is vital. Lastly, should
any information not be available when needed, this may result in clients taking
their business to the new to market competitor.
Task: Utilising the background information, draw a concept map or annotated attack
tree which represents the context of John Kleen Communication & Media Ltd’s work
environment and also demonstrates:
the links the data John uses and keeps, and the aims of security (CIA) -i.e. what
information needs protecting, why and what aspect of CIA does this related to?;
the associated attacks which could breach each of these aims in this scenario;
the likelihood (risk) that any attack in this scenario poses;
the impact each attack may have;
the resultant countermeasures which could be applied in this scenario;
the relative cost of each countermeasure; and
the mitigation effect of the countermeasure.
Investigating case in employee allegedly sending photos
Investigating case in employee allegedly sending photos
Computer Network Security
You are investigating a case involving an employee who is allegedly sending
inappropriate photos via e-mail in attachments that have been compressed with a zip
utility. As you examine the employee’s hard disk drive, you will find a file named
orkty.zip, which you suspect is a graphic file. When you try to open the file in an
image viewer, a message is displayed indicating that the file is corrupt

Computer Network Security
After a computer forensics investigation, you require to meet with your section or
group of fellow investigators and critique the case in an effort to improve your
work. Explain how to make a self-evaluation of your work by answering the following
questions and write a report:
1. How could you improve your performance in the case?
2. Did you expect the results you found? Did the case develop in ways you did
not expect?
3. Was the documentation as thorough as it could have been?
4. What feedback has been received from the requesting source?
5. Did you discover any new problems? If so, what are they?
6. Did you use new techniques during the case or during research?

1. The Internet may not make corporations obsolete, but corporations will have to
change their business models. Do you agree? Why or why not?
2 The Relationship Between Ethical, Social, and Political Issues in an Information
Society.
“The introduction of new information technology has a ripple effect, raising new
ethical, social, and political issues that must be dealt with on individual,
social, and political levels.
These issues have five moral dimensions: information rights and obligations,
property rights and obligations, system quality, quality of life, and
accountability and control.” Give a business example of each.
