Since you are studying Human Behavior it comes in all shapes and sizes especially bad behavior. The goal of this project is to change the focus and examine group dynamics in fact groups who commit violent acts. You will need to choose a group which has been designated a threat to domestic security or homegrown terrorists. You will be required to complete a complete a threat assessment and in the final analysis determine if the group is a threat to the internal security of this country as well as the President of the United States.

Your threat assessment will examine the history of the group. Their motives for being in existence. You must also identify their current leadership and founders of the organization. Examine the literature that they use to spread their word and the message especially the underlying message. Determine where they are based and if they have a compound where they live and practice. Examine the members and their philosophies. Do they use religion as the basis for their belief system? Look for meaningful anniversary dates and why they are significant to this group. Examine what crimes they have been involved in and the motives for those crimes. Examine the changing demographics in this country and determine if this is fueling the current surge in your group. Look for the profile of the members and if you can how many members. Finally, detail how this group is or is not a future threat to the internal security of this country and detail why or why not they threat to the President of the United States. I understand that this speculation and projection but it is based on research.

Use the lecture on Threat Assessment to assist you but this needs to be a research paper in APA format at least 2000 words. You can use whatever sources you deem necessary except Wikipedia, Ehow, or encyclopedias of any kind.. If you can find it you might want to get your hands on a copy of The Turner Diaries to assist you in your research.  “Its fictional but very enlightening.

I am also attaching an outline to help you as a guide to writing the paper.

Carvana

The company being used for the calculations and analysis is CARVANA which is a publicly trades comapny.

The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the financial condition and performance of the firm you and your CLC group members have selected for analysis.

Refer to Tables A-1 through A-5 in Appendix II of the text for the operational definitions of and formulas for numerous common financial ratios, including profitability, liquidity, leverage, activity, and shareholders’ return. Using these formulas, complete at least one ratio from each of the five categories, though you may apply as many of the ratios for which you can find the required information in the firm’s financial reports. On your calculations page, specify for which formulas you are solving.

In an assessment of approximately 750 words, address the following:

    Determine which of the ratios provide the most key insights into the firm’s current level of performance. How can you assess whether the results of your calculations are positive or negative? Explain which of the ratios give you reason to be concerned with the organization’s current strategy and why.
    The Organizational and Operational Plans assignment references the possible benefits and risks of forming a strategic alliance. What would be the risks of forming a strategic alliance in terms of the firm’s profitability ratios? Which of those five ratios is most likely to reveal immediate information for analysis of the alliance’s effectiveness?
    Considering today’s financial climate, how likely is it that the organization could acquire the capital necessary to support an aggressive value-enhancement strategy? From where would that capital originate? Compared to current interest rates, what do you believe is a realistic interest rate the firm might incur? Which of the liquidity ratios will be impacted by the influx of capital, if borrowed?

Submit your calculations with your written response.

You will be required to incorporate instructor feedback from this paper into the Assessing and Managing Risk assignment in Topic 7.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This week in the course materials, we are covering a number of activities included within the initiation & planning process groups, such as the creation of the project charter and drafting an initial scope statement.

For this week’s discussion thread, I want you to discuss the role of the project manager and team in the creation of these documents and other planning related items.

After completing the lecture and course readings for this week and thinking back on your own experiences, what is the role of the project manager and team for creating the project charter and completing an initial draft of the scope statement? Is it important for the project manager to be leading the drafting of the charter document? Who should the project manager be working with when creating the charter?  Be sure to provide specific information and a well-reasoned rationale for your position.

Please note:  I expect a minimum of 2 -3 paragraphs for your initial post complete with external references. Your response postings are expected to be at least a full paragraph using cited material.
