Eric received an email from Amazon Customer Service that said "Thank you for contacting us." But Eric did not contact them. Instead, an attacker had contacted them and pretended to be Eric. When Amazon Customer Service asked the attacker to identify himself all he had to do was give Eric’s name, email address, and mailing address—which the attacker got from Whois, which contains Eric’s registration information for his website. However, Eric knew to protect his actual mailing address so the registration information on Whois was actually a hotel close to Eric’s house. Because the information matched what was on file, Customer Service told the attacker the mailing address of Eric’s order, which was his real home address. Eric contacted Amazon, found out these details, and told them not to release any of his information to anyone who contacted Customer Service, to which Amazon agreed. Fast forward two months. Eric again received another "Thank you for contacting us" email. After contacting Amazon again, he found that this time the attacker had tried to get the last four digits of Eric’s credit card number on file through more social engineering tricks.

Fortunately, this time Amazon did not surrender that specific piece of information (although they had ignored his previous instruction not to give out any information). Had they provided the credit card number the attacker would have had enough information to pass the "I’m-the-real- Eric" test on almost any of Eric’s online accounts (using his name, email address, mailing address, and last four digits of his credit card) and trick their Customer Service into resetting Eric’s password. This would then allow the attacker to get into Eric’s online accounts and purchase a virtually unlimited number of items charged to Eric’s credit card. What went wrong? Should the first Amazon Customer Service representative have been reprimanded? What policies should Amazon have had in place to prevent this? What technologies should there be in place to prevent this? As a customer, what should you do to protect your online accounts?

You are a real estate broker and the owner of a real estate investment company. Due to a deal that went wrong, you were sued and are now facing a personal money judgment.

1. Courtney Newell, manager of the Silver Park Hotel, is considering how to restructure the front desk to improve guest service during the peak check-in hours of 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.  At present, the hotel has 5 clerks on duty each with a separate waiting line.

Courtney is considering two plans for reducing the guest’s waiting time. The first proposal would be to implement a single waiting line in which guests would be served by whichever of the 5 clerks becomes available first.  Observations of arrivals during the peak check-in time show that a guest arrives on average every 40 seconds.  It takes an average of 3 minutes for the front-desk clerk to register each guest.

The second proposal would designate one employee as a “quick-service” clerk for guests registering under corporate accounts, a market segment that comprises about 30% of Silver Park’s guests.  Since these guests would be pre-registered, it would take an average of only 0.5 minutes for the front-desk clerk to register them.  Under this plan, the non-corporate guests would form a single line and proceed to the first available of the 4 remaining clerks.  The average time for registering a non-corporate guest is 3.4 minutes.

Which proposal should Courtney implement?  Provide appropriate quantitative evidence to support your recommendation.

The topic for the paper I need assistance on is the long term effects of the coronavirus on business and society.

A large number of businesses have closed, unemployment claims have risen to an all-time high, the US stock markets have tumbled in a manner not seen since the great depression, and all this is happening just a few months after we saw the economy achieve a series of all-time low unemployment records for different groups along with all-time high stock market averages.

With all these things in mind, my assignment is to select an industry that is of interest to you and then write a short essay on the changes that you believe will take place in that industry, its firms, the operating procedures of firms and possibly also in available jobs and job requirements. I was thinking small restaurant business industry,
