TO: Business Manager FROM: IT Consultant I can understand how you concerned with your company’s security after all information on competitors can be invaluable or very harmful to a company and this is why it must be protected from prying eyes. This does not have to mean that you have to lose production over trying to secure your networks information. An easy measure like user names and passwords can be used to protect less sensitive information but how strong you make those usernames and passwords can have a significant effect on how well your information is protected. I will give you some tips on how to better secure your network with the tools that you already have at hand, keep in mind that you can also buy better security items to better protect you network things like; smart card, finger print scanners, retinal scanners, etc. but I only recommend these for really sensitive information and only for certain users in your company.

Decisions of this caliber will not only affect you individually but they will also affect your business decisions and compromise your reputation. One of the things that have stood out in Dalman’s and Lei’s management of Sandwich Blitz is their integrity both in
The unwritten rules that tend to accompany informal structures appear to have created inconsistencies between how each restaurant operates and has adapted to change.

2. The second most important issue that needs to be resolved is the lack of a SWOT analysis in order to develop a strategic plan. A SWOT analysis is done so that a company can identify what its Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats are. By CanGo conducting this analysis, it can identify what strengths it has and what opportunities it is ready to exploit. This analysis can also point out weaknesses in the business and show what type of business opportunities it should avoid.

Identify and explain any problems at the Ottershaw branch of Zinn’s Burgers & Pizza from the case study that relates to the study session that you have chosen to focus on. In my research concerning Zinn's Burger and Pizza restaurant situations I will focusing on external environment influence as “the external environment is literally the world in which the business operates. It is a large and ever changing place which is made up of other organisations, employees, suppliers, customers and other stakeholders”. (Preston, D., Fryer, M., Watson, G., 2006, p.17).
