a) Andrew is the Chief Information Security Analyst of Bubbles Inc. He closed his kickoff meeting, with his team of information security personnel, about the work plan for a project with the following comments:

Well, ladies and gentlemen, before we end this meeting, I will remind you to make your asset lists properly, be sure to focus your attention on the more valuable assets first. Remember that our department policy is to evaluate assets based on business impact to profitability first and then economic cost of replacement. If any questions come to your mind, dont forget to check with me. When we meet again in two weeks, you should all have your draft inventories ready.

Clearly Andrew did not plan well for this meeting. What important issues do you think the work plan should cover?
Will the company get useful information from the team it has assembled? Why or why not?
Why might some attendees resist the goal of the meeting?

b) In Andrews meeting, Amanda, one of the security specialists, was given a list of 200 assets that needed to be evaluated. She was not happy with the amount of effort needed to do the job of assessing the asset values and evaluating their risks, she decided to fudge the numbers so that she could attend a concert and then spend the weekend with her friends. In the hour just before the meeting in which the data was due, she just made up some numbers without giving them any thought.

Is Amandas approach to her assignment ethical?

Suppose that after the kickoff meeting Andrew had said, Amanda, the assets in your department are not that big of a deal for the company, but everyone on the team has to submit something. Just put anything on the form so that we can check you off the list and then you will the bonus being paid to all the team members. You can buy me lunch for the favor.
