Writing is critical because in business it is important to convey information clearly and concisely and to develop a personal brand.

Assess the interactions between the external environment and the organization to foster responsible and effective leadership and organizational practices
Develop individual awareness, style, and communication skills that enhances leadership skills
Integrate and apply analytical principles and skills to make strategic decisions
Background: You have completed your role on the Succession Plan Committee. You and your Group identified leadership competencies for five internal positions and your group also recommended some internal candidates for consideration of those positions. As you are putting away your notes from the Succession Plan Committee meetings, you come across this statement These positions will need to be filled over the next 12-24 months. There is not an immediate need for any of them currently, but vacancies will be imminent. The preference is to fill these internally You cannot help but wonder, why not me? The more you read the description of the open positions, the more you are convinced that you should put yourself forward as a candidate for one of these leadership positions.Instructions: Step 1: Leadership Competencies Table Review the Leadership Competencies Table completed in Week Two to accompany the Job Announcement. (You may also wish to review any feedback received from your Instructor about your Table.) Step 2: Upcoming Open Positions at Biotech Position #1: Sales Director, Middle East Location: Saudi Arabia Answers to: Executive Director, Asia Division Biotechs Asia Division will be opening its first Middle East location in Saudi Arabia in the next 12 months. A Sales Director will be needed to head up this new division. A team of local salespeople will need to be recruited, hired, and trained by this leader. It is expected that this sales team may be largely men.Two sources that are recommended for more information about doing business in Saudi Arabia are: Guide to Saudi Arabia Etiquette, Customs, Culture, and Business Saudi Arabia Management GuidePosition #2: Director of Research and Development (R&D) Location: Headquarters, Yonkers, NY Answers to: VP of Headquarter Operations R&D is at the heart of Biotechs success and, indeed, its future. The leader of Research and Development will lead a group of scientists and innovators, but does not need to be a scientist himself/herself. R&D is located centrally at Biotech Headquarters because R&D coordinates with all other departments and divisions. This is a high profile position. Position #3: VP of Headquarter Operations Location: Headquarters, Yonkers, NY Answers to: President and CEO The Headquarters houses R&D, HR, IT, Purchasing, and Finance. Each of these departments has its own subculture, and each department is fairly distinct from each other. The young, youthful subculture of IT often clashes with the conservative subculture of the Finance department, for example. Many of the members of the Finance and HR teams are baby boomers and are near retirement. This leader oversees the smooth operation of all of these departments and ensures the coordination of these departments with each other and with each of the four geographic divisions across the world. Position #4: Executive Director, North American Division Location: Chicago, Illinois Answers to: President and CEOThis leader will head up the largest and most profitable division of Biotech. This division is seen as the flagship by the other divisions, since Biotechs roots are in the United States. This Executive Director has the ear of the CEO, and spends a lot of time with the Barney family. This leader is faced with spearheading the future direction of Biotech in North America and is challenged with filling openings throughout the United States and Canada caused by fast growth and a retiring Baby Boomer population.Position #5: Director of Finance Location: Headquarters, Yonkers, NY Answers to: Chief Financial OfficerThis leader oversees the day to day operations of the finance department. This leader is expected to aid in strategic planning with the executive team of Biotech. Although a finance background is not required, this person is expected to bring a conservative approach to the strategic planning table, to balance out the high risk tolerance of the rest of the leadership at Biotech. A big picture perspective is definitely needed hereStep 3: Review Review the Succession Planning Table-Part One that your Group used to outline leadership competencies for each of the five positions. (You may also wish to review any feedback received from your Instructor about this Table.)Step 4: Self-Assessment TestsComplete the following Self-Assessment tests (also found under Week Five Content).

Both of these concepts are relatively new and your Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has only heard them in passing. In fact, she pawned them off as the new marketing fad dressed up as a new concept. As you have researched both technologies, you understand this is not a fad. When used in combination with virtualization and cloud computing, you know this could revolutionize how the organization operates. Providing for reduced costs, efficiency, better management of the network assets, and security. However, you need to develop a white paper for the CTO to highlight these benefits. Given she has only heard the term in passing, you must describe the SDN and IBN concepts, their benefits, and what it would take for the organization to implement. You decide to form a group and tackle this opportunity together. Please explain the following in DETAIL: (1) Discussion on how virtualizing the desktop and now backend infrastructure are complementary and related.
Use additional sources of information but also describe the concept in layman terms.
Use visuals where appropriate. (2) Discussion of how SDN and IBN are related. Use additional sources of information but also describe the concept in layman terms. Use visuals where appropriate.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The organization currently maintains 2,000 Microsoft Windows desktop computers for the workforce. As you recall, these desktop computers were about to be refreshed. The organization is currently considering the Dell Optiplex series. Specifically, each computer would have a Intel Core i5 processor, run Microsoft Windows 10, contain 8GB DDR4 RAM, and have a 256GB solid state drive. The rough estimate for each PC is $1,250.00, which equates to a $2,500,000.00 upgrade cost to the organization.
Microsoft Office runs on each of these computers. The license fee for each computer is $150.00, which equates to a $300,000.00. The organization typically upgrades all PCs with the latest version of Microsoft Office when it is released.
The organization used multiples instances of Oracle Database. These databases are distributed across 10 Dell PowerEdge Servers. These servers cost a minimum of $2,159.00 each, for a total cost of $21,580.00.
The organization maintains an additional 20 Dell PowerEdge Servers for a variety of reasons to include email, file backup, remote access, etc. The total cost to refresh each of these servers is $3,000.00, for total cost of $60,000.00.
The organization maintains various networking devices. The total cost of this equipment is $3,000,000.00, and yearly refresh costs are $750,000.00.
The organization maintains a suite of network security hardware and software solutions. They include a DMZ configuration, multiple firewalls, VPN hardware, antivirus solutions, intrusion detection and protection devices, and log management solutions. The total yearly hardware and software costs for the organization cybersecurity efforts are $2,000,000.00.
The organization also allows users to access the network via their company issued Android phones, or iPads. Each employee receives a mobile device with VPN software installed so that they may remotely access company systems when they are at home, or traveling.
Because this is a notional example and assignment, each group may make further assumptions about the organization IT environment. There is no need to ask your Instructor for permission. Simply make explicit your assumptions in the white paper. For example, you are free to assume the number of IT professionals, their specialties, and more importantly the cost to run the IT department.
-Assignment will be 100% plagarism free. It will be checked by TurnItIN
-Assignment will in IEEE format. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) style is a widely accepted format for writing research papers, commonly used in technical fields, particularly in computer science.[1] IEEE style is based on the Chicago Style.[2] In IEEE style, citations are numbered, but citation numbers are included in the text in square brackets rather than as superscripts. All bibliographical information is exclusively included in the list of references at the end of the document, next to the respective citation number.

For this essay, you will select at least six articles on a topic of your choice. The articles should
be on the same topic but feature different perspectives, research methods, opinions, or
conclusions about some aspects of the topic.
For example, if you are majoring in cybersecurity, you might locate six articles about the need
for improved training for employees on mobile security issues. The six articles might take
different angles on the topic. The articles might disagree on certain points, possibly disagreeing
on the need for more employee training in this area, how to train employees in this area, or when
to integrate training during an employees tenure.
The articles should take different perspectives on the topic. Perhaps three of four
of them will say that the CSI Effect exists and one or two will argue that it does not exist. Or
perhaps all agree that it exists but they all take slightly different approaches to addressing the
problem. Perhaps some were qualitative research studies, others were quantitative research
studies, and others were mixed-methods research studies.
Overall, try to determine categories of themes into which you can divide your six articles.
You are strongly encouraged to write on the same topic on which you wrote writing assignment
#3. You can simply expand on that topic for writing assignment #4. Please communicate with
the professor if you are considering any significant changes in your topic.
