Do you agree that we are in a post-PC stage in the evolution of information systems? Some people argue that we will always need the personal computer, but that it will not be the primary device used for manipulating information. Others think that a whole new era of mobile and biological computing is coming. Do some original research and make your prediction about what business computing will look like in the next generation.

What does this mean and how do you think this changes the skill set of those who work in the public sector from the skills they needed a century ago? What do you think about this?

The topics for this weeks Discussion are:1. The text states that due to government’s ever-increasing reliance on “leveraging the activity of a vast and complex network of partners in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors” government managers need to “know perhaps more than they need to do.” What does this mean and how do you think this changes the skill set of those who work in the public sector from the skills they needed a century ago? What do you think about this?2. The chapter introduces a fascinating challenge coming from the next generation of workers about to enter government called the Net Generation. What do you think about the norms and values this new group, perhaps you among them, brings to government based on the way they view the world and are able to access and disseminate information? What can you see to be the benefits and challenges posed by this next generation of workers?3. The text asks “What functions are, at their core, public—for which government has the basic responsibility? As we said earlier, efficiency is not the only goal of public programs; pursuing other important goals, such as equality, typically means making difficult trade-offs. The deepest debates are usually about ends—what should or should not be public functions?” How would you answer these questions based on what you’ve learned in the chapter?4. Do you agree with Herbert Simon that the task of deciding should be the central element of studying public administration? Perhaps even more, as according to Simon, that doing is impossible without deciding? Why or why not?5. One of the large questions surrounding federal budgeting is how should citizens and public officials make decisions about where to allocate money. The text discusses how coming to the answers involves process and analysis but also weighing normative values (noting how often the word “should” comes in to budgetary discussions). What do you think about these normative values in particular? The process and analysis component have an objective aspect but this final one a much more subjective one. As government spends tax dollars is there a necessary discussion that needs to take place involving normative values or not?

Discuss how each framework is most commonly used.

Introduction:The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) replaced the former NIST Special Publication 800-37, Guide for the Security Certification and Accreditation of Federal Information Systems with NIST Special Publication 800-37 Revision 1,Guide for Applying Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems: A Security Life Cycle Approach. The NIST document changed from a certification and accreditation framework to a risk management framework because information security management systems should be regularly reviewed, updated, and maintained. It makes more sense to follow a security life cycle approach (continuous monitoring) versus a single one-time static certification/accreditation approach.For this task, you will be using NIST Special Publication 800-37 Revision 1, Guide for Applying Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems: A Security Life Cycle Approach and the attached “Healthy Body Wellness Center Risk Assessment” case study.You have been hired to apply the NIST’s risk management framework to the Healthy Body Wellness Center’s information systems. You know that the organization has recently had a risk assessment completed that includes recommendations for implementing security controls and mitigating risks. In your new role, a team of people will be assigned to help you with the task. The first job you are tasked with is creating a to-do list for the specific tasks outlined in each of the six steps in the risk management framework (RMF).Task:A. Discuss key elements that need to be addressed as part of the risk management framework by completing the attached “RMF To-Do List.”B. Create a white paper that compares the ISO 27002, COBIT, NIST, and ITIL frameworks by doing the following:1. Discuss how each framework is most commonly used.2. Analyze the purpose of each framework design.3. Evaluate the strengths of each framework.4. Evaluate the weaknesses of each framework.5. Discuss the certification and accreditation process for the frameworks.6. Discuss when you would choose to use each framework (e.g., ISO 27002 versus COBIT, NIST, or ITIL).C. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Summarize the history of the policy. In your summary, explain how the policy raises issues of federalism.

The U.S. government’s expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting cross-currents. On the one hand, popular expectations about government’s responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the US to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical debates about the constitutional framework of federalism (e.g., what limits on national power can be derived from the 10th Amendment?).Select a policy issue that is in the middle of these cross-currents between national, state, and local authority. It must be a policy area other than education (the focus of Discussion One in Week Two). Some examples include: federal health care policy (e.g., Obamacare, Medicaid–not Medicare); federal transportation policy (e.g., federal transportation subsidies); federal highway policy (e.g., federal rules about the minimum drinking age, speed limits, or safety); federal urban planning and renewal policy; federal poverty, welfare and unemployment policies; national security policies that intersect/conflict with local police power; and federal disaster planning and relief. These are only examples. The policy area that you select must have a significant federalism component that requires national, state, and local interaction. It should also involve issues with a strong potential for tension or conflict among different levels of government.Research and write an essay on a specific policy in the area that you select. (Note: The word “policy” is used interchangeably with the word “program.”) Your essay must:Clearly identify a specific federal policy (the policy must raise issues of federalism because it requires national, state, and local interaction and invites tension across different levels of government), and summarize the elements of the policy, including the problem it is supposed to solve or improve.Summarize the history of the policy. In your summary, explain how the policy raises issues of federalism.Analyze the main pros and cons in debates about the policy.Evaluate the pros and cons from two perspectives:The policy’s effectiveness. In your evaluation, clearly explain your definition of effectiveness and how it should be measured or determined.The policy’s consistency with the constitutional framework of federalism. In your evaluation, clearly explain your interpretation of American federalism’s constitutional framework and why the federal policy is or is not consistent with it.Follow these requirements when writing the short essay:The body of the essay (excluding the title page and reference page) must be at least 750 words long.The essay must start with a short introductory paragraph which includes a clear thesis statement. The thesis statement must tell readers what the essay will demonstrate.The essay must end with a short paragraph which includes a conclusion. The conclusion and thesis must be consistent.The essay must logically develop the thesis in a way that leads to the conclusion, and must be supported by facts, fully explained concepts or assertions, and persuasive reasoning.The essay must address all subtopics outlined above. At least 20% of the essay must focus on subtopic six, listed above (your evaluation of the various pros and cons about the policy).Your essay must cite at least one academic article found in the Ashford Online Library and at least three other kinds of sources (e.g., Supreme Court opinions, magazine or newspaper articles, the course textbook, and reliable websites).Use your own words. While brief quotes from sources may be used, altogether the total amount of quoted text must be less than five percent of the body of your essay.When you use someone else’s words, they must be enclosed in quotation marks followed by an APA in-text short citation (author, year, and page) to your source. The in-text citation must correspond to a full APA citation for the source on the reference page at the end of the essay.When you express someone else’s ideas, arguments, or facts in your own words, your statement must be followed by an APA in-text short citation (author, year, and page) to your source. The in-text citation must correspond to a full APA citation for the source in the reference page.The form of the title page, the body pages, and the reference page must comply with APA style. Additionally, the title page must include the course number and name, the instructor’s name, and the date submitted.The essay must use logical paragraph and sentence transitions, complete and clear sentences, and correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar in your online course.The Ashford Writing Center (AWC) has two kinds of tutoring available to you.Live Chat – If you have writing-related questions about a topic before you draft a discussion post or submit a written assignment, you will now be able to chat live with a tutor for a short (up to 20 minute) conversation.
