Case Study
‘Countering cyber risk presents a significant strategic challenge to leaders across industries and sectors but one that they must surmount in order to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the vast technological advances in networked technology that are currently in their early stages. Over the past decade, we have significantly expanded our understanding of how to build secure and resilient digital networks and connected devices. However, board-level capabilities for strategic thinking and governance in this area have failed to keep pace with both the technological risks and the solutions that new innovations provide.
….
Boards have a vital governance function, determining overall company behaviour and setting a company’s risk appetite. For boards, action means effectively exercising oversight by asking managers the right questions to ensure that the boards’ strategic objectives are met. This function is no different in the area of cyber resilience. By offering the following principles and tools, the Forum hopes to facilitate useful dialogue between boards and the managers they entrust with the operation of the companies to which they owe their fiduciary obligations.’

Required
Assume you have been employed as a corporate governance consultant by a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and ranked within the ASX 200. The Chairman of the company has decided to address the issue of cyber security at the company board level.
As an initial step in the process of improving the cyber resilience of the company the Chairman has employed you to prepare a report that critically analyses how the company can best integrate its cyber security and resilience protocols to ensure continued corporate survival and improved business performance. The Chairman has requested that you submit a report providing examples of best practice and a clear set of recommendations on how the company should initiate a cyber resilience policy at the corporate board level. Your report will be tabled at the next board meeting for board members to review and evaluate your recommendations.

This week’s forums will focus on understanding
the historical perspective on the sexual
exploitation of children and their victimization;
as well as some of the crime categories that fall
under this umbrella. Students should also study
the characteristics and typologies of offenders.

1. Discuss difficulty in defining the term
sexual exploitation of children. How has
our view as a society changed
throughout history to better understand
this kind of victimization? In your view,
what is the most dangerous ‘type’ of
child sex offender?

2. To effectively investigate and
prosecute cases involving sexual
exploitation of children by acquaintance
child molesters, four behavioral
concepts of this child sexual
victimization must be understood. What
are they? Assess their significance.

3. What are acquaintance-exploitation
cases?

Assessment 2: Case study part 2 – case article: social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic   

Assessment 2: Case study part 2 – case article: social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic      30%Assessment 2: Case study part 2 – case article: social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic      30%
Article – individual work (or as a co-operative pair) 30%      Due: As per teaching schedule
ObjectiveTo compile an article that reports on, and critically analyses, the objectives, operations and performance outcomes of either: 1 – a social enterprise in the country in which your course is conducted; 2.  or a sustainable tourism business in the country in which your course is conducted; 3. or to do with a special topic – as advanced by your local lecturer – regarding the country in which your course is conducted (things like Palm oil; ‘clean coal energy’ etc.). Note: if you wish to choose a enterprise, business or special topic in a different country you must seek permission from your lecturer.
ScenarioA major international business magazine – HBR (Herbert Management Review) – has contracted you to write a ‘profile’ article on either a social enterprise OR a sustainable tourism business OR a special topic. They believe there are some really interesting organisations or topics that would be of interest to local and overseas readers.
Alternative #1 – note on social enterprises (for further details see Topic 9): Social enterprises are businesses established by entrepreneurs with an emphasis on human values rather than just profit. They are not charities or welfare agencies, but seek to achieve social change by having an economically viable business model that services societal needs while drawing support from the community. Some Australian examples (there are many also in Malaysia and other countries): the MADCAP Café that employees young people with mental health issues to make the coffee in stands at Masters Hardware stores; Fifty-six threads café run by AMES – which trains young refugees and migrants in hospitality skills; Streateats – trains & employs homeless youth; Who gives a crap – recycled toilet paper; Dress for success – clothes for women in need of support in getting a job; Scarf hospitality that trains refugees; and Goodcycles – trains and employs disengaged youth in bicycle repairs
Alternative #2 – note on sustainable tourism businesses (for further details see Topic 9): Sustainable tourism takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing and balancing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities. Things like eco-hotels, nature tours etc.Alternative #3 – note on special topics: in some locations in various semesters your local lecturer may provide you with an alternative area of study to social enterprises or sustainable tourism (ideas @ corporateknights.com)
RequiredPrepare an article for the business magazine that reports on, and critically analyses, the objectives, operations and outcomes of a social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic – and include performance data and photos where possible. The magazine is expecting: great content in a feature which is engaging, and exhibits a clear and crisp writing style (20%); and an oral presentation to a business conference (in fact your classroom!) sponsored by the magazine (5%). Article quality not quantity is the key. One author: about 1,200 to 1,500 words plus illustrations. Two authors: about 1,800 to 2,200 words plus illustrations.Notes1. You report should provide the reader with a brief background of social enterprises or sustainable tourism businesses or special topic: what are they; what they do; how recent a phenomena are they; who are the stakeholders; and how they fit with a modern capitalist economy.2. Your report is expected to contain pertinent primary data – information that has been developed by your group. Your primary data can come from: your observations of the social enterprise or sustainable tourism business in action (e.g. what you experience visiting say a café, bar or wherever the public interface of the organisation is); and/or discussions (and quotes) that you get directly from the operators or clients that you gather in person, by phone or by electronic means. As this is a magazine article, no formal Harvard referencing at the end (‘out of text’) is required – but sources would usually be given ‘in-text’ e.g.: “ … the website notes that 300 people were assisted …”; “ … staff said that business is increasing rapidly …”. 3. This is not a ‘cut and paste from the internet’ exercise – articles that do not contain substantive primary data and do not provide a critical analysis cannot receive a pass grade.

For this Assignment, you will take the perspective of a director of a regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office. The national EPA Office of Environmental Information (OEI) has tasked all regional directors to identify an environmental hazard in your community by again visiting the EPA’s EJScreen tool at http://www2.epa.gov/ejscreen and enter a zip code (e.g., your hometown) in the “Launch the Tool” section. When the map is loaded, choose “Add Maps.” Highlight “Additional Maps,” and select “Sites reporting to EPA.” Explore the various “Sites reporting to EPA” (air emissions, hazardous waste, water dischargers, superfund, and toxic releases) to find a contaminant that affects your community. For this contaminant, prepare an executive summary (2–3 pages) to submit to EPA OEI. In this summary, please discuss the human health effects of exposure, the sources into the environment, and the route of human exposure. Specify whether the hazard is chemical, physical, or biological and whether this affects occupational health, the general public, or both.
