Management Assessment Tasks
Cosmos
is an online newspaper publishing company located in Sydney, Australia. Cosmos
has a global network of freelance reporters who report news from every corner
of the world. Customers who are interested in reading the online newspapers and
watching live video feeds have to register with Cosmos and pay a small fee
online. The major income generator of Cosmos is the advertisements which
contain live and playback videos in some instances. Cosmos accepts any type of
advertisement from companies and individuals as long as it complies with the
media codes, guidelines and regulations in Australia. It is estimated that 100,000
people will access the newspapers of Cosmos every day at the beginning and it
will increase to 500,000 within 3 years.
Cosmos
has provided the freelance reporters with suitable telecommunication devices
for live reporting from areas where the Internet connectivity is poor or
unavailable. The permanent staff of Cosmos consists of a CEO, a Finance
Manager, a HR Manager, a Publishing Manager and a Technical Manager assisted by
20 supporting staff. Cosmos is required to provide a secure and reliable
service to its permanent staff, customers, advertisers and the freelance
reporters. Their website and video feeds should be available 24/7.
Cosmos is now in the process of upgrading
the information security policies for its information system.
