Assignment: Do some research and write a paper examples of poor IT-related business continuity practices... where hardware failures or natural disasters have created significant disruptions in a business (profit loss, customer dissatisfaction, etc). You should include at least 4 examples in your paper, and devote a significant portion of your paper on discovering common themes that could have mitigated the problem (no backup, no battery power, etc). Once again, this is not a "survey paper", and I don't want you to copy from an article that already has determined the "common disaster themes"... instead, I want you to use articles to do research on your own to find those common themes.

For this draft, you do not have to completely fulfill the page count, reference, table and figure requirements of the final paper. However, I do expect the draft to contain all of the examples, a significant portion of the analysis, and at least an outline of all of the other parts of the paper. Take a look at the attachment that you can use as a template.

Note: This is the 33% draft of your Term Paper. Your final score for this assignment will be composed of 5 points for the draft . The final paper (not the draft) has a requirement of between 8-10 pages, 6 references, 1 table, and 1 figure

Purpose: To demonstrate your understanding the importance of business continuity

Expectations: A single Microsoft Word document in APA format.
