Need an argumentative essay on Contingency theory and Corporate Social Responsibility. Needs to be 12 pages. Please no plagiarism.

An organization placed in the context of a globally interactive environment is in a position to reap huge profits through an efficient organization of its resources and effective coordination between its component elements. No one standard organizational method can be said to be the best way, rather every organization must determine the optimum fit between its component elements. As a result, the Contingency Theory is becoming increasingly relevant in the present day context, especially in maintaining ethical standards of corporate conduct and organizational integrity.

The Contingency Theory may be applied in the analysis of the complex interactions occurring among the different dimensions of any particular phenomenon within an organization. As first mooted by Herbert Simon (1976), the contingency organizational theory revolves around the interaction of the organization with the environment and its impact upon the performance outcomes of the individuals within the organization. According to Zeithaml, Varadarajan and Zeithaml (1988), the existing situational factors play a significant role in how organizations are managed, and must be taken into account in order to arrive at one best way in which an organization can be managed for optimum performance and output. These authors suggest a three pronged approach in determining this best solution (a) the identification of important situational factors which function as contingency variables that provide the distinctions between the different situational contexts (b) grouping of these contingency variables on the basis of similarity of the contexts that they occur in and (c) analyze each group in order to arrive at the best possible solution and management style and method that is likely to produce the best results (Zeithaml, Varadarajan and Zeithaml, 1988).

The Contingency Theory perspective first developed through

Hi, I need help with essay on Hackers Tools and Techniques: PayPal. Paper must be at least 1750 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

They also used malware to extract personal data. PayPal attempts to minimize the incidence of risk by educating and guiding the customers. They maintain a separate department engaged in checking fraud and they work in close cooperation with the ISPs, the law enforcement bodies and the technology companies to protect the interests of their customers.

PayPal is the most important of all the electronic banking and commerce institutions and has the best chance of delivering secure, trusted e-commerce transactions. It is an online transaction and bill-paying service preferred by millions of eBay auction users (Rubenking, 2003). Since eBay acquired PayPal in 2002, the electronic payments have experienced growth at a very fast pace. This has also made it a very attractive target for hackers. In the third quarter of 2004, PayPal had a payment volume of $4.6 billion (Lundquist, 2005). PayPal has 133 million users worldwide using its online payment service (Vijayan, 2007). It is an example of the micropayment system which involves transactions of very small amounts of money (Patel, Qi & Wills, 2010). It is one of the most recognized Internet brands and is all set to lead the financial sector in transacting electronic business. However, it is also one of the most frequent targets for phishing attacks.

Attackers’ motivations differ. Most often hackers are notorious high school children who are always at their computers and find newer ways to attack computer systems (Shimonski, 2002). Very often employees that have been unhappy with their employers also seek revenge and they engage in hacking the system. There are others who just feel elated at the challenge of entering into a secure system.

PayPal is the primary target by hackers for two reasons (Vijayan, 2007). PayPal has a very large customer base (133 million) and they have a simple business model that makes it easy for these 133 million users to move money between them. Thus, both PayPal and its

According to our text, the autonomous spending is considered automatic and necessary, does not depend on the level of GDP, and has a multiplier effect (Hubbard, O’Brien, 2014). It goes on to state that a multiplier effect is “the process by which an increase in autonomous expenditure leads to a larger increase in real GDP.” In the 1990s there are three major policy changes that were independent of GDP but had a multiplier effect 

           First, under the Clinton administration, the tax policy was amended. Corporate tax increased in the top bracket to 35%. Income taxes also increased for the wealthiest 1.2% of taxpayers to 39.6%. Clinton, through executive order and the federal government extended the tax base for Medicare FICA taxes (resulting in a decline of the Federal deficit). Expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit which helped low-income families. As well as the expansion of the child tax credit which bolstered the middle class. All of this contributed to boosting the supply and demand, impacting GDP in a positive manner (Luke, 2014). 

           Secondly, there was a vote to increase minimum wage. This impacted more than 10 million Americans, which, through extended means, impacted the median household income. This increase in household income widened discretionary spending, causing a multiplier effect and impact to GDP (Luke, 2014). 

           Finally, The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, the US and Mexico was enacted, and as a result of the agreement, trade between the 3 countries increased dramatically and investment between countries surged (Luke, 2014).  

           The multiplier effect: The government created specialized insurance plans for older people that proved to be extremely beneficial. Programs like the Health Insurance Program, Medicare Modernization act/Medicare Advantage, and supplementary medical insurance began to function more efficiently and demonstrated positive results. Forecasting future spending related to Medicare, Social Security, and the like became simpler and more consistent. There was a release of funds for governmental spending programs allowing law makers to function better and accomplish more (Nesvisky).
