Scenario: Magenta Multimedia has decided to incorporate social technology into its business to maintain its competitive advantage. It would like to use technologies that allow it to engage with customers, and that also allow employees to communicate with peers. The companys current customer demographic is older, but management would like to expand the appeal of the company and its products to millennials (while not ignoring its current customer base). The company was impacted by the recent economic downturn, but is now growing again and is seeing positive financial results. Despite this, senior management is extremely budget-conscious and sensitive to incurring new expenses.

• What social technology strategy would you recommend?
• Why would you recommend this strategy?
• How would this strategy benefit the organization?
• What type of social media metrics would you recommend the organization use to ensure the social technology strategy is successful?
• Given budget considerations, how would you justify the costs of your recommended strategy?
• Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least two scholarly peer reviewed references supporting your answer. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
• Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

We have almost completed the process of developing our HVA. Once an Emergency Manager had completed the HVA and it has been approved by the community partners and organizations you would publish it for those involved in Emergency Management. To get there you need to ensure that you have a priority assigned to each of the hazards. You need this to also assist you in your mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities. For this assignment, I want you to complete the Risk Index Worksheet for Comparing and Prioritizing Risks for each type of hazard; natural, technological, and manmade.

Instructions

1. Download the EDMG101 HVA Risk Index.xlsx.  This contains a cover sheet and 3 blank tabs to fill–Natural, Technological, and Human.
2. Fill out your name and date on the cover tab.
3. Copy the hazards you identified in all 3 tabs from the HVA Vulnerability workbook.  Use the drop-down values in each of the column categories.  Type in any special characteristics & planning conditions.  Determine and set the risk priority.
4. Add your first initial and last name to the filename. ie: AJones HVA Risk Index.xlsx
