Question. 1. What are the characteristics of a technologically enabled organization?
Answer : As we move from a technology focused to a service defined world, digital transformation is becoming a top priority for business leaders. The power of what technology can really do is being seen and embraced by people who, before now, never considered themselves technologists. To stay competitive, companies must stop
Question. 2. How does an Organization acquire & disseminal knowledge?
Answer : Structural and informal knowledge acquisition and dissemination in organizational learning: An exploratory analysis
The topic of organizational learning is populated with many theories and models; many relate to the enduring organizational learning framework consisting of knowledge acquisition, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge use. However, most of the research either emphasizes structural knowledge acquisition and
Question. 3. Why do you suppose inquiry – only applications were developed instead of fully on lines system?
Answer :
Question. 4. What kind of technology is least flexible? Most flexible?
Question. 5. How does strategic planning differ between a firm that offers services & one that manufacturers a product? Is there a difference in the impact of technology on strategy in any two types of firms?
Answer : Many management (by which I mean the total process of selecting and implementing a corporate strategy) of service businesses is different from that of manufacturing businesses. This article discusses how pure service businesses are different from product-oriented businesses and why they require different strategic thinking. A pure service business is one in which the service is the primary entity that is sold.
Question. 6. What kind of business activities do you think are most amenable to common systems in different countries?
Answer
Question. 7. What kind of programs do you think are likely to make the most use of floating – point instructions?
Answer : : Floating-point arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will be called upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to time; and virtually every operating system must respond to floating-point exceptions such as overflow. This paper presents a tutorial on those aspects of floating-point that have a direct impact on designers of computer systems. It begins with background on floating- point
Question. 8. Distinguish between computer hardware & software which most concerns a manager?
Answer : Difference Between Hardware vs Software
In this topic, we are discussing differences between Hardware vs software of Computers. Before discussing the difference Between both let discuss something about what both stands for in computer world.
Computer hardware is any physical device i.e. available or used in (external detachable devices) or with the system, whereas software is a collection of code that needs to be installed into the system. For example, the computer’s monitor that we are using to read this text is an output device and
the mouse that we used to navigate this
Question. 9. What kind of software does a server for a local area network need to have?
Answer : Client-server networking grew in popularity years ago as personal computers became the alternative to older mainframe computers. Client-server networking refers to a computer networking model that uses both client hardware devices and servers, each with specific functions. The client-server model can be used on the internet as well as local area networks (LANs). Examples of client- server systems on the internet include web
Question. 10. What is OLAP? How does it contribute to the organization?
Answer : OLAP (online analytical processing) is a computing method that enables users to easily and selectively extract and query data in order to analyze it from different points of view. OLAP business intelligence queries often aid in trends analysis, financial reporting, sales forecasting, budgeting and other planning purposes.
Question. 11. Why are standards so important in communications?
Answer : Importance of Standards
Standards provide people and organizations with a basis for mutual understanding, and are used as tools to facilitate communication, measurement, commerce and manufacturing.
Standards are everywhere and play an important role in the economy, by:
facilitating business interaction enabling companies to comply with relevant laws and regulations speeding up the introduction of innovative
Question. 12. What industries are most likely able to take advantage EDI?
Answer : EDI is not a new technology, it’s been around for around 50 decades. In the 1990s, industry magazines talked about of EDI as a technology that will give companies a competitive advantage. Will EDI integration really provide companies with a competitive advantage or will it support organizations with a cooperative advantage? This is something we will answer in this article.
Keep on reading more on what EDI integration is, what are the significant EDI integration challenges, what are the benefits of EDI integrations
Question. 13. Are there applications where it does not matter if multiple databases are simultaneously updated?
Answer : Managing information means taking care of it so that it works for us and is useful for the tasks we perform. By using a DBMS, the information we collect and add to its database is no longer subject to accidental disorganization. It becomes more accessible and integrated with the rest of our work. Managing information using a database allows us to become strategic users of the data we have.
We often need to access and re-sort data for various uses. These may include:
- Creating mailing lists
Question. 14. Most organizations today have computers and software, all of which are supposed to work on a network, from different Vendors? What are the potential problems with using products from many different sources?
Answer : Even if you have the best team of IT experts with the most secure databases in the world, your company is probably still at risk. We hate to say it, but you might not have as much control over your network and servers as you think you do.
Question. 15. What are the differences in design for multi-user system versus a personal system on a pc?
Answer : A multi-user operating system (OS) is a computer system that allows multiple users that are on different computers to access a single system’s OS resources simultaneously, as shown in Figure 1. Users on the system are connected through a network. The OS shares resources between users, depending on what type of resources the users need. The OS must ensure that the system stays well-balanced in resources to meet each user’s needs and not affect other users who are connected. Some examples of a multi-user OS are Unix, Virtual Memory System (VMS) and mainframe OS.
Question. 17. Why should one insist on a demonstration of a package?
Answer :
Question. 18. What is a spaghetti organization?
Answer : Spaghetti Organization refers to a flat, loosely coupled, project based organization characterized by ambiguous job boundaries and extensive delegation of task and project responsibilities to autonomous teams. Let’s understand this with the example of Oticon.
Oticon is a Danish electronics producer operating in the space of hearing aids. It became extensively known for its s radical organizational transformation in the early 1990s. The organization was traditionally hierarchical, functional based organization, and transformed radically into a “Spaghetti Organization”. It was the loss of competitive
Question. 20. How more user development eventually eliminates the need for professional systems analysis and programmers?
Question. 21. How can a company use multimedia today?
Answer : Multimedia, such as mobile marketing, livecasting and podcasting, photo, video and file sharing, can spread the word about your company and help build brand awareness in a very unique and powerful way. This particular type of social media also has the ability to go viral quickly. Hottrix, the Las Vegas, Nevada-based iPhone app creator, became one example of a breakthrough success story when their iBeer app, which simulates chugging a
Question. 22. How does one go about identifying the expert to be used in developing an expert system?
Answer : ES are not suited to all types of problems. Initially, many developers actively sought problems amenable to ES solution or tried to solve all problems encountered using ES. As experience has been gained, attention has become more properly focused on the problems to be solved rather than on the solution technique. Note that in this course, we are focusing on systems engineering techniques and tools and thus have been and will be quite concerned about the solution technique.
Some problems can be described using
Question. 23. Describe how a virus actually works? What kind of files does it want to infect?
Answer : A computer virus, much like a flu virus, is designed to spread from host to host and has the ability to replicate itself. Similarly, in the same way that flu viruses cannot reproduce without a host cell, computer viruses cannot reproduce and spread without programming such as a file or document.
In more technical terms, a computer virus is a type of malicious code or program written to alter the way a computer operates and is designed to spread from one computer to another. A virus operates by inserting or attaching itself to a legitimate program or document that supports macros in order to execute its code. In the process, a virus has the potential to cause unexpected or damaging effects, such as harming the system software by
Question. 24. What kind of changes does information technology either create or facilitate within and between organizations? What other changes are associate with IT?
