1. I believe the release of the Apple I-Phone in June 2007 is the most important event in terms of mobile development because it was the release of this device that has evolved our society into an “App. Loving World.”
2. My most used mobile application would be my e-mail. My most favorite mobile application would be Pintrest. I am on it…[Read more]

1. I do believe that the recent attacks against the government displays an increase in cyberwar/cyberterrorism. If an outside organization were to hack into the United States Government’s computer systems and retrieve sensitive information could open a whole new world of war.
2. I have never been a victim of cybercrime (knock on wood!). I have…[Read more] -

If I was faced with the decision of a continuous supply chain or comprehensive cyber safety, I too would choose the comprehensive cyber safety. Cyber hacking can be a business ending situation. Depending on what information the hacker obtains by hacking your system could be detrimental to your business operations continuing. If this were to occur…[Read more]

1. Mitigating the risk of getting hacked is easier said than done. So much of today’s society heavily relies on the internet and that is exactly what causes their databases access to being hacked. If you want to eliminate the risk of being hacked all together you would need to disconnect from the Internet and keep your databases extremely private.…[Read more]

1. I agree that companies using social media to look at potential employees is beneficial for the company. Sites like LinkedIn are designed to better assist employers in finding accurate candidates. I personally have received interview requests in the past thru LinkedIn for positions I would have never come across had I not had a profile.

1. The most important rule listed in the article for companies to follow is the 80/20 rule. I feel that this is the most important because if you use Twitter to attempt to sell your product or your business you’re more likely to irritate any followers which could result in them “unfollowing” you. So if you focus 20% of your tweets on promoting…[Read more]
I believe no one can eliminate all chances of a problem occurring. However, the most important what companies do to prevent product recall. Product recall, the act of removing from sale a product that may cause danger to customers, is a big ethical dilemma. I think it is important to companies put product quality and safety at the top priorities. If the company wants to be successful, it should focus on manufacturing products that do not pose the risk to the customers. High quality products will attract more customers, so it means high profit to the company. Companies should make decisions regarding whether to recall a product not based on the losses and expenses that will be incurred but rather the need to safeguard consumers.
Great article and timely, Brianna! I think your questions should spark some good discussion as well!
I think that product recalls go unnoticed for so long because the numbers are usually so low. Most people will not pay attention to a low number and will find it insignificant until the numbers start to grow and demonstrate a danger. I also think that companies don’t always have a plan if a recall is needed which could lead to problems with the recall. I think that while safety is a top priority in companies it is not always evident that a product will be faulty and need to be recalled.
I have yet to be a victim in a recall incident, but I think the methods that companies use to handle and fix recall problems can alter consumer opinions, whether someone is personally involved or not. In a big case like Takata, they have to use efficient and effective ways to recall their products or this delicate situation could grow to a scale even larger than it is now. However, since it is already so big, I’m sure consumers everywhere are nervous about driving and getting into accidents with a potentially faulty product that could cause injuries instead of protect against them. Of course, with this, there are now more negative views about Takata and their products than ever, which could spell a huge loss for the company’s future in their market/industry. Product recalls might go unnoticed until the consumer receives the product because of slow decision making. If a company is spending too much time thinking about the expenses of recalling a product and trying to come to a decision, it could lead to more people buying the product that inevitably gets recalled. In order to stop problems like this from happening in the future, companies need to enure product safety as well as fast decision making when problems do arise.
