Assignment:

Identify and research a recent newsworthy global case study (current policy, technology, governance, or cyber event in your domain of study). Analyze IT frameworks and governance for your chosen global case study and explore gaps between theory and practice in technology management.

Find 1-2 articles that involve some form of empirical research from the past 2 years. This could involve quantitative or qualitative methods. In addition, find 2-3 more articles that involve business journals and practical applications of IT policy and strategy, also from the past 2 years. (Hint: Harvard Business Review is one example.) Make sure some of your articles have a global component.

Your report should synthesize your findings by referring to the literature review conducted. Do not summarize the articles. Instead, use them to inform yourself as you formulate a logical narrative that addresses the following:

1. Discuss a recent newsworthy global case study (current policy, technology, governance, or cyber event in your domain of study).
2. Identify an area of interest to you from a theoretical standpoint (consider gaps in literature between theory and practice in technology management). Are there any current operational and/or technical elements critical in today's information technology landscape that are missing or not thoroughly discussed?
3. Provide an overview of the various frameworks, models, and standards used in your domain of study and detail how these tools can provide a structured approach to risk assessment and management for enterprises.
4. Describe the frameworks, models, and/or standards that you recommend should be used for your interest area. Justify your rationale for this decision.
5. Make a table that compares and contrasts at least 3 different frameworks, models, or standards used in your domain of study for risk auditing and assessment.
