GDPR provides the platform to the organizations to protect their data from any breach
and protection on regular policies. There are some key requirements which apply to
organizations as well as the public. First one is the use of record keeping which requires
controllers and processors to write the data of processing activities. After that data protection
officers which serve as a liaison with supervisory authorities. Data protection impact assessment
manages the risk of violating the rights of the public. Then there comes privacy, transparency
and cybersecurity which provides the major policies to the organization about how to operate in
general public. Lastly there are data subject access requests and third party policy which creates
the sense of informing about the consent to any of the access its keeping or passing to third
parties. As the increasing number of threats to the cyberworld and insecurity of data really
requires these laws and regulations for data protection and this legislation for protection of data
is really keeping the success ratio to this year as the cross border usage and collection of data is
at high risk and can be hard to distinguish, that’s why GDPR is creating boundaries for the data
collectors to stay in the limits and provide only restrictive data which is allowed to use. So, this
legislation process has a notable impact inside as well as outside Europe.
As we already have information about the GDPR, there is another term which we know
as ADPPA which is the American version for data protection. This however, has similar effects
and legislation but some significant changes differentiate it from GDPR. Like, different roles are
associated with different types of obligation where the covered entity is compared to the
controller in GDPR. Then there is the concept of sensitive data which also differs in concept
from GDPR which says it as special categories of personal data. This is how different points
have comparison to some GDPR policies but different in its own way. But both are really similar.
I think there should be only one legislation for data privacy and protection which can be
known as Global Protection Regulation because we know for the fact that this regulation has had
a greater influence on data privacy in the last 5 years and could really impact the whole scenario
of data collection and protection globally. GDPR and ADPPA are already similar 70-80 percent
and they can be implemented in similar fashion with minor changes to the country specific
regulation in it.

Good afternoon,
The GDPR stands for general data protection regulation. The general requirements of the GDPR
are lawful, fair, transparent processing, limitation of purpose, data minimization, accuracy,
storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability. The GDPR can fine a company
up to 20 million euros, and for a company such as Facebook that can equal more than a billion
dollars. This can be detrimental to small business owners because they would not be able to
afford to pay the steep fines that the GDPR would assess against them. Whereas large companies
can afford to pay heavy fines and legal fees.
The data protection legislation in the United States is not as strict as the GDPR in Europe.
In fact, law markers here in the states are hesitant to bring the GDPR to the states because the
laws of the GDPR would override the data protection laws here in the United States. Consumers
in Europe value the GDPR because it protects their privacy a lot better than just regular privacy
laws. The penalties are a lot steeper than before which heightens the companies to respect
people’s privacy in Europe. Business owners however view the new law as strict. Companies that
sell clothing have a totally different perspective than one that has a social media business.
However, the respect for this law is the same.
In my opinion, there should be a one-data privacy law around the globe. However, the likelihood
of that happening is slim because of the diverse cultures around the globe. In some cultures,
women’s privacy may not be as important as men’s privacy or not even considered. Whereas in
other countries men’s privacy would be nonexistent. It would be very difficult to create one
privacy law that fits everyone’s needs.

Good evening,
Perspectives on the GDPR differ between consumers and businesses. While companies may view
these new privacy policies and practices as a new marketing strategy by using cookies to track
consumer activity, consumers may feel otherwise (Rosner, 2020); with so many websites
implementing new privacy policies without much transparency, consumers may not feel as
though their information is safer with these new policies in place, but rather, their information is
more vulnerable (Rosner, 2020). Forbes suggests that marketers and businesses implement 3
practices to help put consumers’ minds at ease: treat privacy as a brand pillar, take a multichannel
approach on privacy education, and invest in transparency (2020). By “bridging the gap”
between consumers’ and businesses’ viewpoint of the GDPR, everyone can feel more confident
in the policies and their true intentions. Outside of that, perspectives also vary largely by
industry. While large tech companies may have the resources to pay for any security
“oversights”, a small business may find themselves struggling to keep their doors open after
being penalized for a breach of GDPR (CNBC International, 2019).
I do not think that there should be one data privacy law for the entire world. Theoretically, that
sounds very straightforward and achievable; realistically, there are several hurdles that
companies in Europe have faced that would imply that other companies, and entire countries,
may encounter (CNBC International, 2019). Per CNBC, the major hurdles that companies in
Europe have faced include resource shortages, security/data protection officers, and consumer
confusion due to the complexity of rules and regulations (2019). Since a developed country such
as Europe still has hurdles while attempting to seamlessly implement the GDPR, imagine the
challenges undeveloped countries would face.

initial post,
Globalization has the most successful effects which resulted in many achievers to get the
results that they wanted and take their companies to new heights. The most common and most
used company these days is Ali Baba. This product is a website and it was a page when it was
started and was creating logistic handling on their local level. But slowly, their demands and
their logistics exceeded the supply chain and they had to outsource their logistics support for
their operations to local companies and use their platform to complete their operations. This
made a huge impact on their sales and they had a successful business plan for outsourcing the
operations in logistics as they approached the client for business they had to bring in shipment
companies with respective countries instead of their own. That idea is still being used in different
ecommerce as well as they are relying on different local logistic companies to do their jobs easy.
This created a huge impact on their sales and also this was done for the business and it added
value to the business where it stands now. Link for the website is given in the references as per
instructions.
Ali baba has another outsourcing that they did in the making of their website on the
backend of their website. This outsourcing occurred when they went short on the development
team for their own website due to the local internet restrictions, they had to face this issue of not
getting the local party for the development. So, they hired a US based firm to complete their
backend and show their competitors what Ali Baba is made of.

In your replies to at least two peers, discuss potential risks of outsourcing
for the examples they provided—for example, risks to supplier quality or
stability, intellectual property, or reputation. The following questions
may help develop your responses:
● Can you provide an example of an organization that started
outsourcing the supply chain and then stopped? What risks did the
organization face that caused them to stop the project?
● Can you provide an example of an organization that outsourced
similarly and faced reputational damage due to the project?

Good morning everyone, this week, we focus on globalization and how it
helps create any opportunity in organizations. International business help
provides excellent profits because of the outsourcing of production. But also,
outsourcing supply chain has helped new organizations focus on other things
besides inventory management. It can be time-consuming and costly because
of the need for more knowledge of supply chain management (SCM). Once

understood, ways of benefiting from outsourcing, such as it allows for the
focus on different business aspects, help with customer support because of
meet customers’ demand. Apple is an excellent example of focusing on
sustainability, strengthening relationships with strategic suppliers, and
streamlining inventory management by cutting down on warehousing to limit
overstocking. Tim Cook was a CPO before becoming Apple’s CEO (Britt,
2020).

Hello everyone,
I am going to go with Coca-Cola they are very well known. They
outsourced to reduce cost and improve efficiency. The benefit that occurred was
that it helped with increasing the performance of outsourcing services. Coca-Cola
operates all over the world and by doing this they can get the most out of there
product in cost and profit and this also helps with the environment being able to
access different parts of the world and what impact it has. This helps them by
leaving a smaller footprint with such a wide verity of places to do business in.
This helps the organization more then the customer due to it keeps the cost of
making the product down but it doesn’t change the cost so much

initial post,
I have made so many mistakes in the past and have learned to be a better person from
those wrong decisions. We need to first decide about the level of responsibility on our shoulders.
Then we need to have a clear idea about the level of authority we have. Then we can make a
decision and after we decide we need to perform accordingly. There are some contexts to what I
have done in the past. I had a tour planned 3 years ago where I was in charge of the tour and I
had to make all the critical decisions about the tour. We were a group of friends where we had to
choose the point to visit and I was the one with the most knowledge about hiking and tours in
that region. So, I took the lead and we went to the first destination and I took those friends from
one point to another point for 28 hours of continuous traveling where we had to reach was still
3-4 hours away from the destination we reached. But we found a hotel which wasn’t good
enough, so we spent the night and went for the final destination the next day. After that we had a
2 days stay in that area and I took care of the rest.
I was deciding the distance and speed and travel time cost with the expense of one extra
stay if we went before the scheduled destination which was an analytical decision making style.
This decision took proper thinking and discussion with other friends as well but the decision was
mine at the end to reach the destination in one day no matter what. I was curious because of the
limited budget to manage and I was anxious to perform well in that tour in front of my friends.
So, this led to some mistakes in that process and my friends had to bear the burden for that
mistake of mine.
Due to that continuous traveling, many of the friends fell sick and some had travel
sickness so they couldn’t enjoy the tour to their fullest and all the planned tours started to fall
apart due to the sickness of 4 friends out of 16. This happened because they couldn’t take proper
rest in between the travel and their body was exhausted and they couldn’t stick with us through
the tour. They stayed in the hotel for about 2 days and that ruined the tour spirit. That was
mismanagement and to a major extent I would say it was a bad decision.

Hey Class,
Well, i can say I’ve made some mistakes relationship-wise. Slightly embarrassed to
say… My ex-girlfriend and I had been dating for a year, both have children from
previous marriages. After about a year, we decided to sell both our homes and
move in together. After about 5 months, things weren’t working out with the kids,
and our communication declined and ultimately broke things off, causing myself
and my three boys to have to find a new place to rent, now paying almost twice
that of my mortgage. The decision style we used was the consensus style. We
both talked about the benefits and risks and weighed everything out rationally
ultimately helping us make our decision. Things had been a little rocky in our
relationship and we thought it would help if we moved in together for us and the
kids. Unfortunately, we were only going off of the information that we had at the
time and it didn’t work out.
Next time, I will take more time to make sure that our relationship is rock solid and
that a larger commitment is made before putting my family through that
again, such as engagement or marriage. Had I taken the emotion out of it and
looked at our relationship more rationally, looking back it was not the right
decision. Making the decision based on emotion and not logic, was our
downfall. I’ve learned alot from that experience and moving forward will
make sure that emotion is removed and the decision in made more rationally.

Hello all,
I started as an operations supervisor as a 24-year-old in a bigger medical
manufacturing company. When I met the team, I thought it was going to be
important for my team to “like” me. I thought it was going to be important to gain
their trust first and then focus on opportunities for improvement. Looking back at
it now, I should have focused on the improvement areas first. Before I started the
team was behind our build plan, we didn’t have any safety stock build, and the
one-piece flow was non-existent. I had to come up with a way to work with the
production team to get caught up for my first project. After learning the process
and being “fully trained” I held a lunch meeting with the team and had decided I
would use a democratic style way of inquiring different options on how we can
catch up, as I didn’t really care how we caught up. I didn’t have a preference, so I
wanted to ensure the team got to choose what worked best for them instead of
being delegated to. The choices were between overtime on the weekends, overtime
by working a longer day, or adding additional scheduling on the weekends,
meaning we would run Sunday-Sunday with the same number of employees, but
keep the machines running over the weekend. I had the three choices out there and
had asked for the majority vote. It was not successful. By that time, I had gained
the trust of my employees, but they were not happy that we had to “change the way
things always ran.”. In the end, I ended up choosing the path forward, since my
team couldn’t. I added flexible scheduling meaning I either hired people for the
weekend, or those who were working Mon-Friday had an option to work extra
hours, change their schedule, and work overtime on the weekends. In addition, to
help production catch up I worked on a one-piece flow assembly process and a set
schedule to have us be caught up by Q3.
