Your final project paper is broken down into 4 parts, worth a total of 125points towards your final grade. Expectations are that it will be a scholarly work, using largely peer-reviewed resources, formated to APA style. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are significantly weighted. Review the instructions in the Final Paper document first. Each milestone (Weekly Research Paper) is a separate assessed writing assignment, leading up to the Final Paper.For this piece of that assignment, you will develop a 2 – 3 page paper, double-spaced, comprehensively describing the industry you are choosing to use in the paper, preliminary challenges with information governance that you have identified, and list potential resources you will use to develop the paper. Again, review the final paper requirements for the total number of references, including peer-reviewed journals.

Scenario:

shares. Customer data is being stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration
has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are currently no policies in place to
address the handling of data, business or customer. The company also desires to leverage the
marketing power of social media, but has no knowledge of the types of policies or legal issues
they would need to consider. You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be
collected to ensure that the information governance program is effective.
