Both responses and recordings were transcribed into texts to make conclusions. The data were thematically analyzed by importing all questionnaires and…

Security Policy  Security policies in organizations are very important especially when it comes to the idea of ensuring that organizations perform effectively and without the fear of being intimidated in terms of insecurity (Safa, & Furnell, 2016). This, therefore, calls for the need to impose strict policies by the organization to ensure that there is no loophole and that can result in insecurity cases happening to the organization. Strict security policy and its related interpretation refer to a case whereby no security controls exist not unless they are generally directed by the same policy.  On the other end, a lesser strict policy interpretation is a case whereby it allows some security to exercise some discretion to possibly implement best practices and that may not end up being explicitly defined in the security policy (Moody, & Pahnila, 2018). In my own opinion, therefore, I would prefer the less strict interpretation as it seems better placed for any organization that focuses to come up with the best security policies. This grants the organization to be able to implement the best practices and…

risk behavior of the hedge manager Several studies have tackled the issues about the taking of risk behavior of the hedge manager who has the asymmetric packages of compensation (incentives cost) and the connection of results on how the difficulties that may come along with the satisfactory response. Most incentives contracts look alike to a call option that gives the manager a chance to receive incentive fees and when assets value goes beyond the amount higher than a watermark. With the TASS database’s help, the hedge fund manager will always tend to either decrease or increase the response of risk to performance, which is relative to the contemporary and not about their performance. This can be argued in a positive direction in the direction of two comparisons between the volatility and the termination that will eventually provide the disincentive for any fund manager to gamble more excessively if the option is out of money. Carpenter (2000) explores a hedge fund manager’s behavior with an option contract of assets under management. Carpenter argues that such a manager increases the fund risk…

    Command Center             A command center, also known as a control room is a critical concept that facilities using audio-visual setups, despite size need to understand. A command center helps these facilities to achieve a unified control over their audio-visual setups. Although the centers vary based on the setup in an organization, they have one purpose, which is serving a central nerve for a multiple layer of audio-visual equipment activities within an organization (Talamo, 2016). Constructing and effectively maintaining a command center, audio-visual crew in organizations can easily share integrated resources and provide efficient control to help crews get their work done. Command centers also help companies to oversight over important information. The evolutionary developments in technology have led to the development of small machines with the ability to handle an array of services and operations. This means that command centers do not have to be too big to serve their purpose. Modern command centers constitute of smart and powerful integrated setups. However, organizations should consider their size and objectives before implementing a command center (Roth, 2018). For…
