Info Tech In Global Economy

Chapter 11 From the chapter, we learned that the pattern of behavior arises from fundamental psychology and in particular, the following: a) our capacity for habitual behavior, b) the difference between intelligence as the manifestation of the coping mode of cognition and understanding as the manifestation of the pervasive optimization mode, and c) the phenomenon of authoritarianism as the need for external authority through a lack of understanding of ones living environment.  Andringa (2015), stated that the combination of these phenomena leads to a formal definition the Bureaucratic Dynamic this is where the prevalence of coercive formalization scales with what the author refers to as institutional ignorance a measure of how well workers understand the consequences of their own actions both within the organization as well as the wider society

Q1: The author argue that most people may agree with the notion that All human activities benefit from some form of formalization, and that formalization allows automating routine tasks, to agree on how to collaborate, determine when and how tasks should be executed, and when they are finished. The author offers key reason(s) why procedures should not be changed too often.

what are those reasons? Provide a brief narrative “why procedures should not be changed too often” 

Q2: Moore (2000) identifies that Public Value Management as an emerging new management paradigm that is not so much a response to an existing paradigm but a formulation of the role of nonprofits in modern society (Stoker 2006).  In view of both the authors, Moore (2000) and Stoker (2006), public value management is a succinctly formulated public value scorecard in which an organization should target to balance three components:  What are these components?

Status Report

 In Week 10, you will provide a detailed project presentation for your new information system project. Because of its importance to the organization, your presentation must be thoughtful and visually appealing. To help you stay on track for this three-week effort, the executives have assigned you a project manager. For each week leading up to the presentation, you are expected to turn in a short (less than one page) status report. It must address just 4 things: 1. What did you expect to accomplish on the project this week? 2. What did you actually accomplish on the project this week? 3. What issues have arisen, and what help do you need? 4. What do you expect to accomplish on the project next week? Please write up your responses as a series of bullet points in memo form. There is no need for a cover page. 

Implementation Strategies Part 2

 Your proposed information system is still a contender. The executives, however, are asking whether it is too limited to prevent the shadow IT projects that continue to take place throughout the organization. They believe that you have considered what the organization does now, but how will your system adapt to new products and processes? Read IQMS (2015) for a concrete example of what they mean. Youll have to quell their fears, so its time for another memo. Please focus on these points: 1. Identify any significant changes that your organization might reasonably make in its product offerings in the next 3 years. Explain the competitive benefits of this change. 2. Explain how your information system addresses or can adapt to the introduction of these new product offerings. 3. Give one reason why capabilities for the new product offerings should or should not be incorporated in the initial information system design. Justify your reason. This memo should be 35 pages long.

Plans

An enterprise security plan is a document that explains the security exposure that an entity would encounter in a specific marketplace. A committee of people typically writes this document over a span of a few months. Many times the drafts begin with developing a high-level overview of strategic objectives that address how to secure the enterprise inside and outside the enterprise.

The CEO asks you to explain the core principles of enterprise security and respond to five strategic objectives as part of the overall enterprise system security plan draft. They are:

  • Data loss prevention
  • Access controls
  • Data management
  • Risk management
  • Cloud technology

For each of the five strategic objectives, write a response that addresses the following:

  • Key initiative: Why is this topic important to Auburn Regional?
  • Objectives: What is the desired outcome to this effort?
  • Description: What is the specific strategic objective? Provide a high-level explanation.
  • Benefits: What will be the benefits of this effort?
  • Outcome: What will be done to meet this objective?

Include any charts, graphics, or infographics created in previous weeks that support your findings.

Compile your response with the following:

  • An updated executive summary
  • A final recommendation
  • At least three new references throughout your plan overview, cited according to APA guidelines.

Incorporate feedback and use previous assignments as a resource. As a guideline, an overview of this nature is typically 3 to 4 pages long.
