A Review of Literature is a synthesis and integration of existing empirical research on a particular topic. This is the crux of your research paper for this class.

Instructions
Prepare a Review of Literature that synthesizes and integrates current empirical research directly relevant to the issue identified in your Statement of the Problem.

Your Review of Literature should:
Include at least five original, empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals within the past five years.
Although you are free to cite meta-analyses, systematic reviews, or purely theoretical articles where appropriate, these are NOT original studies and therefore do NOT “count” as one of your five empirical research articles.
Note that though this assignment only requires five articles, the final paper requires at least six.
Discuss the major findings of this body of research and how they fit together to frame your problem. What do we know about this topic and how confident should we be about that knowledge? Have the findings been sufficiently replicated? Are they consistent? If not, are the differences important for understanding and/or addressing your problem? What theoretical explanations have the most support (if any)?
Do NOT merely summarize each study. Synthesize and integrate!

Additional Requirements: A submission that does not satisfy these requirements will be not be graded.
At least six (6) pages (excluding title and reference pages)
Current APA format (including title and reference pages)
No direct quotes or use of secondary sources
Similarity index less than 20%. You can edit and resubmit up to the time the paper is due if the index is too high.

The critical task for this assignment is to prepare a technical Feasibility Assessment in 4-5 pages (MS Word) listing the features of a SEIM tool and comparing several vendors and then make a final SEIM tool recommendation. The technical assessment must consider the security requirements detailed below. Management commonly will need technology recommendations and related cost, an operational assessment, and an economic feasibility assessment; however, for this assessment both operations and cost are not an issue.

For this technical feasibility assessment, use the security requirements and template below to provide management with your own unique feasibility assessment for 3 tools:

Title page (does not count towards the 4-5-page requirement)

1.0 Purpose – This section must identify each option and the technical feasibility (or likelihood) of each option meeting the SEIM security requirements identified below

1.1 Option #1: Describe the 1st SEIM tool option and how it aligns with security requirements

1.2 Option #2: Describe the 2nd SEIM tool option and how it aligns with security requirements

1.2 Option #3: Describe the 3rd SEIM tool option and how it aligns with security requirements

1.3 Select the Preferred option from the above 3 SEIM solutions and for the selected option address the following:

Explain the technical feasibility for the selected SEIM solution
Explain how the selected SEIM solution addresses the security requirements
Explain the technical risks in selecting any one of the SEIM solutions
Summary/Conclusion
Security Requirements for the SEIM Tool

The vendor’s product must:

Perform Log Collection
Provide Log Management
Provide a product that analyzes and correlates network activity
Provide a SEIM solution which can generate or be compatible with a ticketing system
Provide the ability to meet audit requirements with monitoring and alerting capabilities

For each option, you must provide a detailed descriiption of the proposed SEIM option, considering its technical descriiption and features. The use of tables within the document is recommended to perform the tool comparisons.

1. Who is more to blame for the eroding legitimacy of the Arab state system? External powers, such as Great Britain and France or the U.S. and Soviet Union, or regional leaders? Explain your reasoning. We have not deeply explored this dynamic yet. But that should not stop us from engaging in some preliminary debates that can be revisited later in this course.
2. This lesson identified a series of new security trends that are currently dominating the Middle East: religio-politics, the Israel-Palestine conflict, a nuclear Iran, oil, border disputes, and changing alliance patterns. Which issue, in your opinion, is the most important in terms of political stability in the region? Which is the least important? Explain your reasoning.

Chick-fil-A is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in the city of College Park, Georgia, specializing in chicken sandwiches. Founded in May 1946, it operates more than 2,200 restaurants, primarily in the United States.
H-E-B is an American privately held supermarket chain based in San Antonio, Texas, with more than 350 stores primarily throughout the U.S. state of Texas, as well as in northeast Mexico.
Choose either Chick-fil-A or H-E-B and prepare a report for the company’s overall entry strategy into a foreign country. Your report should include

1. Discuss about the economic and political factors that influence the potential attractiveness of the foreign country you proposed to enter. The table below provides a list of economic and political factors. You can pick several factors (at least three from each category) and discuss them in more detail including what is the selected country’s performance on these factors? Why these factors are important when evaluating the environment of doing business and how do they affect your business in a foreign country?
2. Select an entry mode from below and explain why you choose this mode to enter the selected country?
   Exporting
   Turnkey Contracts
   Licensing
   Franchising
   Joint Ventures
   Wholly owned subsidiaries
3. Discuss about the culture of the selected country, and as a manager of your company, provide some advice on doing business in this culture.
   This analysis will be approximately 4 – 6 double-spaced pages excluding the cover page (with complete references and MLA format).

I strongly recommend you use headings and subheadings to organize your report. For example, when discussing about the political and economic factors, you can have ‘political factors’ as a heading and political factor 1, political factor 2, and political factor 3 as subheadings (shown below). Using proper headings will greatly improve the readability of your report.

2. Political factors
   2.1 political factor 1 (e.g. Government stability)
   …..
   2.2 Political factor 2
   …..
   2.3 Political factor 3
   …..
   3 Economic factors
   3.1 Economic factor 1 (e.g. Growth rates)
   …..
   3.2 Economic factor 2
   …..
   3.3 Economic factor 3

Overview

In this assignment, the student will write a 4–6-page paper in current APA format in which they will be asked to respond biblically to a book chapter/article from the weeks’ readings.

Instructions

The student may choose any book chapter/article that has been assigned (PDF INCLUDED “RELATIONSHIP DEALBREAKERS”) In this assignment, the student will review the chapter/article and provide a biblical response to the article. This assignment is designed to help the student begin evaluating the psychological literature through a biblical worldview and develop skills in communicating an alternative perspective.

Please include the following components in the paper:

1. A summary of the article reviewed (less than 1 page).
2. A biblical response to the points made in the article reviewed. This will include a discussion of how the points made by the author(s) of the chapter/article align with the Bible and where the Bible offers a different perspective to the ones presented in the article. It is expected that the student will use Scripture in discussing a Biblical view on the topic.

The paper must also include a title page and reference page. And, all components must be presented in current APA format. The title page and reference page are not included in the 4 to 6-page requirement.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
