Annette Jackson owns a small crafts store in central Missouri. She wants to expand her store’s reach outside the region to increase her profits and simultaneously reduce her inventory. Annette’s teenage daughter suggested that she consider selling online to expand her total sales. She asked you to help her estimate how much it might cost in the first year to create a simple store with a catalog of about 100 items. Annette wants you to investigate two CSP offerings and report back to her what you find. Because her store is small, limit your research to basic commerce and mall-style services. Annette would like to consider the following information for the two CSP offerings you examine:

NOTE: Please Choose any 4 item form the following list and discuss them ( DISCUSS ONLY 4)

• Costs: initial setup fee, monthly fee, and transaction fees

• Amount of disk space the CSP would provide for Annette’s 100-item store

• Promotion and marketing opportunities

• Customer communications capabilities, such as automated e-mail confirmation of orders

• Shopping cart or other order entry mechanism

• Storefront-building wizards for creating a new store

• Upload capabilities for product names, descriptions, images, and costs (Can they be uploaded from files or databases, or must the merchant enter each item individually?)

• Existence of an online user manual for the merchant

Use your favorite search engine to find CSPs that might meet Annette’s needs. Produce a report of about 400 words summarizing your findings.

Write a 250 to 500 word-long discussion post addressing the way risk management affects the way an organization implements an Information Security program. 

APA format is not required for discussion posts, but if you do choose to use external references, you need to format them using the APA format and cite them in your post.

Research topic

Motivation and work performance

Assignment Requirements:

1. Choose a research topic from the chapter readings or from the list provided by your professor.
2. Research/find a minimum at least four (4), preferably five (5) or more, different peer-reviewed articles on your topic from the University of the Cumberlands Library online business database. The article(s) must be relevant and from a peer-reviewed source. While you may use relevant articles from any time frame, current/published within the last five (5) years are preferred. Using literature that is irrelevant or unrelated to the chosen topic will result in a point reduction.
3. Write a four (4) to five (5) page double spaced paper in APA format discussing the findings on your specific topic in your own words. Note – paper length does not include cover page, abstract, or references page(s).
4. Structure your paper as follows:
   1. Cover page
   2. Overview describing the importance of the research topic to current business and professional practice in your own words.
   3. Purpose of Research should reflect  the potential benefit of the topic to the current business and professional practice and the larger body of research.
   4. Review of the Literature summarized in your own words. Note that this should not be a “copy and paste” of literature content, nor should this section be substantially filled with direct quotes from the article. A literature review is a summary of the major points and findings of each of the selected articles (with appropriate citations). Direct quotations should be used sparingly. Normally, this will be the largest section of your paper (this is not a requirement; just a general observation).
   5. Practical Application of the literature. Describe how your findings from the relevant research literature can shape, inform, and improve current business and professional practice related to your chosen topic.
   6. Conclusion in your own words
   7. References formatted according to APA style requirements

   The research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. are helpful for providing background information, these resources are NOT suitable resources for this research.
