¶ … traditional project proposal which can range from a few pages to more than a hundred depending on the individual institutional requirements and focus of the study. For instance, Mauch and Park (2005) report that, "The proposal is sometimes called an overview or a concept paper. Operationally, the terms seem to mean the same" (p. 97). Irrespective of what it is called, a concept paper provides the foundation for proceeding with the larger dissertation, including what will be investigated, how it will be studied and why the subject is of interest to the researcher (Mauch & Park, 2005). Typical components in a concept paper include a problem statement, the significance or importance of the study, the rationale for the study and so forth (Mauch & Park, 2005).
In the field of information systems, the range of topics spans the continuum from human-computer interface to emerging technologies that will inevitably achieve true ubiquitous computing. There is therefore an enormous array of topics of interest within this broad spectrum of interests, making the need to fine-tune the proposed topic or topics an important enterprise from the outset (Ely & Anzul, 1999).
Some of the questions that Mauch and Park (2005)...
What is the tentative title? What do you call what you want to do? What is its name?
2. Why do you want to do it? What will you know or be able to do or say when you are through? (At this stage, an involved theoretical justification is unnecessary.)
3. To accomplish what you want to do, what steps will you have to take? Can you put the steps in sequential order? What facilities will you need? Why?
4. What kinds of help do you think you will need to do what you want to do? When? How might you get that help?
5. Will the project involve people other than yourself? How? To do what? For how long? Will you need any special permissions?
6. What actually goes on if you start to do what you propose? How would it start? What would a typical day be like at the beginning? When you are partway through? At the end?
7. How do you think you could show whether you accomplish what you set out to do? How could you prove it to someone else? (p. 98).
Beyond the foregoing, other questions that may arise during the concept paper development process…

PR basically means doing a good thing and speaking about it. In other words, no matter how great the new coffee shop will be, unless it is very well advertised, it will not be worth a dime. The new coffee shop will be advertised on: business cards, T-shirts, travel mugs, coasters, glassware, sport bottles, ceramic cups, and others. Also, the coffee shop could be advertised on radio for greater

Portfolio Management In the project portfolio management context, a portfolio is an aggregation of active programs, projects and other business activities that indicate an organization's priorities, investments and allocation of resource (The standard for portfolio management, 2008). According to the editors of PM Network, "Portfolio management is the centralized management of one or more of those portfolios to achieve specific strategic business objectives" (2008, p. 75). Using project portfolio management
Secured real time protocol (SRTP) is also being identified to enhance the security parameter of WAN and LAN network elements. "SRTP provides protection with encryption keys for wired and wireless networks including bandwidth limited channels." (Guillen and Chacon 2009 P. 690). There is also a growing use of IP secure to protect organization from the interception of data over the LAN and WAN environment. To enhance network security, Chen, Horng,
