Assignment 1 (Covers Chapter 1. Information Systems in Global Business Today, Chapter 2. Global E-business and Collaboration, and Chapter 3. Information Systems, Organizations, and Strategy) Background. For this week’s assignment, you will use websites to find product information about a car of your choice and use that information to make an important purchase decision. You will share your findings and experiences using a 5-6 page APA-formatted argumentative essay (the title and reference pages do not count toward page count). Scenario. You are interested in purchasing a new car using CarsDirect (www.carsdirect.com). Visit the site and find a car you would consider buying. Be sure to search using various criteria such as price ranges, features, packages, reviews, and safety ratings. However, simply reading CarsDirect isn’t enough for an educated buyer! Visit the manufacturer’s website and read about the car—collect detailed information a buyer would want to know. Also, take notes on how easy or difficult it was to obtain information from both sites. Goal. Given your experience as an online care shopper, argue for three suggestions (and how to implement them online) helping online car shoppers obtain the information they need.

Ethical and Social Issues in Information Systems, Chapter 5. IT Infrastructure and Emerging Technologies, and Chapter 6. Foundations of Business Intelligence: Databases and Information Management Background. For this week’s assignment, you will consider recent ethical scandals and GDPR. You will share a position using a 5-6 page APA-formatted argumentative essay (the title and reference pages do not count toward page count). The GDPR. Recently, the European Union (EU) took action on privacy concerns and introduced General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations serving as a modernized foundation of privacy in the EU. You may learn about GDPR at https://is.gd/EhKhfF, https://www.gdpreu.org/, https://techcrunch.com/?p=1586340, https: //gdpr.eu/, https://gdpr-info.eu/, and https://is.gd/5sJV3S. Although the US is unlikely to take similar action, the multinational nature of corporations must remain in GDPR compliance while handling user information. Goal. The market has been flooded with ethical and privacy violations involving Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, Twitter, Ghosen (former Nissan CEO charged with financial misconduct), Stumpf (CEO of Wells Fargo Bank who oversaw the creation of fraudulent accounts), Volkswagen emissions law evasion, and others. Given the recent mix of ethical misconduct, argue either for or against the implementation of a US-version of the GDPR providing a modernized privacy framework.

Telecommunications, the Internet, and Wireless Technology, Chapter 8. Securing Information Systems, Chapter 9. Achieving Operational Excellence and Customer Intimacy: Enterprise Applications) Background. For this week’s assignment, you will propose (or illustrate) a database solution enabling service representatives to identify the most important customers so that they could receive priority service. You will use a 5-6 page APA-formatted illustrative essay to share your proposal. Scenario. Prime Service is a large service company that provides maintenance and repair services for close to 1,200 commercial businesses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Its customers include businesses of all sizes. Customers with service needs call into its customer service department with requests for repairing heating ducts, broken windows, leaky roofs, broken water pipes, and other problems. The company assigns each request a number and writes down the service request number, the identification number of the customer account, the date of the request, the type of equipment requiring repair, and a brief description of the problem. The service requests are handled on a first-come-firstserved basis. After the service work has been completed, Prime calculates the cost of the work, enters the price on the service request form, and bills the client. This arrangement treats the most important and profitable clients—those with accounts of more than $70,000—no differently from its clients with small accounts. Management would like to find a way to provide its best customers with better service. It would also like to know which types of service problems occur most frequently so that it can make sure it has adequate resources to address them. Goal. Prime Service has a small database with client account information—including identifiers, account numbers, previous transactions, and the name of service representatives. Create and illustrate database solution that would enable Prime’s customer service representatives to identify the most important customers so that they could receive priority service. Your solution will require a UML diagram, as discussed at https://www.eetimes.com/?p=1255046, appearing in the essay’s appendix. You may wish to use Modules 1, 2, 5, and 9, at http://tinyurl.com/yyzjvj9k, to help with planning and drafting your essay. UML diagrams may be drafted at https://is.gd/ErxryR, https://is.gd/M7rehY, https://is.gd/OVYLfM or similar site/tool. Assignment 4 (Covers Chapter 10. E-commerce: Digital Markets, Digital Goods, Chapter 11. Managing Knowledge, Chapter 12. Enhancing Decision Making) Background. For this week’s assignment, you will illustrate and justify a simple expert system using a 5-6 page APA-formatted illustrative essay. Scenario. When employees at your company retire, they are given cash bonuses. These cash bonuses are based on the length of employment and the retiree’s age. To receive a bonus, an employee must be at least 50 years of age and have worked for the company for more than five years. The following table summarizes the criteria for determining bonuses. Duration of Employment Less than five years 5-10 years 11-15 years 16-20 years 21-25 years More than 25 years Bonus 20% of current salary 30% of current salary 40% of current salary 50% of current salary 70% of current salary 100% of current salary Goal. Using the information provided, build a simple expert system. Find a demonstration copy of an expert system software tool on the web that you can download. Alternatively, use your spreadsheet software to build the expert system. (If you are using spreadsheet software, we suggest using the IF function so you can see how rules are created. You may learn about Excel’s IF command at https://is.gd/Agbe1y.) You may wish to use Modules 1, 2, 5, and 9, at http://tinyurl.com/yyzjvj9k, to help with planning and drafting your essay. Assignment 5 (Covers Chapter 13. Building Information Systems, Chapter 14. Managing Projects, Chapter 15. Managing Global Systems) Background. For this week’s assignment, you will propose (or illustrate) and argue for a proposal intending to solve a process problem. You will use a 5-6 page APA-formatted illustrative and argumentative essay. Scenario. For an additional fee, a customer purchasing an LG appliance, such as a washing machine, can purchase a three-year service contract. The contract provides free repair service and parts for the specified appliance using an authorized LG service provider. When a person with an LG service contract needs to repair an appliance, such as a washing machine, he or she calls the LG Repairs and Parts department to schedule an appointment. The department makes the appointment and gives the caller the date and approximate time of the appointment. The repair technician arrives during the designated time frame and diagnoses the problem. If the problem is caused by a faulty part, the technician either replaces the part if he or she is carrying the part or orders the replacement part from LG. If the part is not in stock at LG, LG orders the part and gives the customer an approximate time when the part will arrive. The part is shipped directly to the customer. After the part has arrived, the customer must call LG to schedule a second appointment for a repair technician to replace the ordered part. This process is very lengthy. It may take two weeks to schedule the first repair visit, another two weeks to order and receive the required part, and another week to schedule a second repair visit after the ordered part has been received. Goal. Use a diagram-driven illustrative and argumentative essay proposing efficiency enhancements to the above scenario. Make sure to diagram the initial and improved processes and integrate them into your essay. You may wish to use http://tinyurl.com/yyzjvj9k, to help with planning and drafting your essay. UML diagrams may be drafted at https://is.gd/ErxryR, https://is.gd/M7rehY, https://is.gd/OVYLfM or similar site/tool. Assignment 6 Background. This course had you engage assignments involving: • • • • Experiences using database-driven websites intending to funnel prospective buyers to available products. Compounding experiences of database-driven websites with a scenario to identify and illustrate database changes charged with improving customer service. Diving into the finer points of database utilization while tackling process problems and creating simple expert systems. Considering the ethical implications of scandals and legislation involving data handling. Goal. Now it is time to reflect on and deliver a lesson you create. Given the sum of your experiences in the course and perspectives of IT in organizations, create a narrated presentation meeting the following goal: • To present an important lesson involving IT in organizations. The lesson should be one you want to share with your classmates. Moreover, the lesson should meet the following requirements: • • • • • It must be narrated (have an oral component) Contain approximately 12-15 slides Utilize a cover page and a reference page Appear organized, clear, and grammatically correct Follows the standard use of English grammar, spelling, and punctuation Presentations lacking narration will automatically receive a D. You should choose an application for your narrated presentation. While PowerPoint is the most common tool for narrated presentation, you are free to use alternative tools such as Screencast-o-matic, Adobe Captivate, or iMovie.

Introduction
Today, consumers are shifting to online shopping because of its convenience, time-saving
benefit, wide product assortment, availability of product reviews, and pricing information. This
argumentative essay will choose a car from the CarsDirect website and provide
recommendations to customers based on the online shopping experience.
Car Selection and Information Search
One of the automobile industry's growing companies is the Tesla corporation, which
produces and sells electric vehicles. I select Tesla’s Model Y SUV, which is the latest and an allelectric vehicle by the company.
Generally, Tesla Inc. offers the model in two trims, performance AWD and long-range
AWD. The model slots below Model 3 Sedan and uses interior, chassis, and powertrain, but has
additional features like increased cargo space and optional third seat. The SUV design allows the
company to offer the car at a lower price. It also offers increased power capacity, which
enhances the operational efficiency of the model.
Additionally, Tesla’s Model Y SUV introduces an optional pair pop-up third-row jump
seat as well as up-to-date technological upgrades and superb designs. Electric vehicle purchase
offers an improved range, performance model, and a long-range of 326 to 303.
Tesla uses electric motors in the model. Initially, Tesla was using induction before it
invented the electric motor, which has improved its demand in the market because the batteries
need to be charged then run the electric motors very efficiently.
Conclusion
If you consider buying a car out there, and you have good money to spend on a good car,
the Tesla Model Y SUV is the best option to go for.

Introduction
Today, consumers are shifting to online shopping because of its convenience, time-saving
benefit, broad product assortment, availability of product reviews, and pricing information. For
instance, consumers engage e-commerce platforms like CarsDirect to search and purchase the
most appealing car models that satisfy their preferences, tastes, and needs (McCain, 2019).
Similarly, electronic shopping stores provide vast information regarding product features, safety
ratings, price ranges, and other relevant information. In addition, online shopping platforms
provide customers with easy navigation of product catalogues to make the right purchase
decision. This argumentative essay will choose a car from the CarsDirect website and provide
recommendations to customers based on the online shopping experience.
Car Selection and Information Search
One of the automobile industry's growing companies is the Tesla corporation, which
produces and sells electric vehicles. I select Tesla's Model Y SUV, which is the latest and an allelectric vehicle (McCain, 2019). The model shows that electric cars be desirable with unique
features, including high technology interiors and outstanding performance. The 2021 Model Y
comes with a big cargo hold, peppy electric powertrain, and advanced technology features. A
critical piece of information about the Model Y SUV by Tesla Inc. is that it focuses primarily on
electric car manufacturing, making it more likely for Tesla to design and manufacture better cars
(Kenneth, 2018).
Generally, Tesla Inc. offers the model in two trims, performance AWD and long-range
AWD. The model slots below Model 3 Sedan and uses interior, chassis, and powertrain, but has
additional features like increased cargo space and optional third seat (McCain, 2019). The SUV
design allows the company to offer the car at a lower price. It also offers increased power

3
capacity, which enhances the operational efficiency of the model. In addition, Tesla's Model Y
has a rear-wheel drive, which improves performance and the car's long range.
Similarly, the driving range of the model is superb. The optimal range of Tesla's Model Y
SUV is 326 miles per charge maximum (Kenneth, 2018). This is quite an improvement of the
Model 3 Sedan and far higher than what competitors like Jaguar I-Pace, General Motors, and
Audi e-Tron offer. Although the interior of the model lacks the panache provided by a
competitor, it is far practical and comfortable. Some of the panaches provided by non-electric
vehicles competitors include Volvo XC60 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class.
The car's long-range AWD zipped from 0-60 mph, and the driver reader test within 4.4
seconds. While with the performance model AWD, the model was quicker as it tested a speed of
0-60 mph within 3.6 seconds. The body of model Y creates a higher centre of gravity, making it
have an impressive acceleration (Kim, 2020). Also, AWD offers 326 miles of range for the longrange while that of the performance model is 303 miles per range. Although the performance
range is lower than that of the long range, its wheels are bigger than that (20-inch). These wheels
lower the suspension, improves speed (145 mph), dedicated tracker mode, and quicker claimed
acceleration.
Safety and driver-assistance feature is present in Model Y which is an essential feature to
the driver. This model offers a standard advanced Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system
and features such as self-parking and summon elements (Flehantova & Redka, 2021). Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) are responsible for crash test ratings (Kim, 2020). You can assess NHTSA or IIHS
through their websites to get assisted. These driver-assistance features help in various ways:
pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and semi-autonomous driving mode. In pedestrian

4
detection, model Y has standard automated emergency braking whereby it can stop abruptly. The
common lane departure feature warns the driver to remain in a specific lane.
The interior, comfort and cargo space of the Model Y is outstanding. The interior of
Model Y consists of a keyless entry, a 15-inch touch screen, dual-zone automatic climate control,
navigation, four USB ports, and other features (Flehantova & Redka, 2021). The screen is large
enough to see, and its system is intuitive as no troubles are navigating through the menus. The
central touch screen controls all the internal functions. For comfort, the standard configuration of
Model Y has two rows that contain five seats (Flehantova & Redka, 2021). There is an option to
add a third-row seat, increasing the overall number of seats to seven. The front and back-row
seats are supportive and comfortable since there is enough head and leg space. However, the
front seats will have more crossover compared to the seats at the back. The Tesla Model Y also
have cargo trunks, one at the front and the other at the back. By folding all the rear seats, the
space increases to 68 cubic feet. Also, the rear trunk can accommodate some large boxes.
Additionally, Tesla's Model Y SUV introduces an optional pair pop-up third-row jump
seat as well as up-to-date technological upgrades and superb designs. Electric vehicle purchase
offers an improved range, performance model, and an extended range of 326 to 303. The market
price of the model ranges between $51,190 and $62,190 (Kim, 2020). Although the company's
electric cars do not qualify for federal credit tax, they are eligible for local and state incentives,
making the cars affordable compared to competitor ones like General Motor's Chevrolet. Also,
Tesla's Model three permits a technological upgrade system that allows the consumer to take a
used car to the company for an upgrade in the future.
Tesla uses electric motors in Model Y instead of engines to power the vehicle. Energy
travels to the vehicle wheels using single-speed direct-drive transmission technology. The engine

5
types of Tesla's Model Y are mainly two types: long-range AWD and performance AWD (Harlie
et al., 2019). The long rage engine has a horsepower of 384 hp and a fuel economy of 125
MPGE. Other feature includes connectivity and infotainment. Every operation of the Model Y
SUV is done through the assistance of a slim infotainment display located in the middle of the
car dashboard. In addition, Model Y offers similar entertainment features like Tesla Model 3
Sedna. The entertainment includes Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix connectivity applications.
Other entertainment features include video games, which keep the car owner engaged
during the vehicle's charging. The video game application locks the driver out when the car
moves to enhance safety and avoid car crashes (Harlie et al., 2019). The model also provides
safety and driver-assistance features, which enhance the car's overall security. The company is
known for its highly efficient autopilot semi-autonomous driving system. Tesla's Model Y SUV
contains such an advanced autopilot system. These autopilots use artificial intelligence and
machine learning technology to improve their operational efficiency. In the line of technology,
the Model Y SUV provides Summon and self-parking features.
It is only through online shopping that consumers can access complete information
regarding product features. Through Model Y purchase decision, I accessed crash test ratings
provided by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration websites (Harlie et al., 2019). Other safety features of Model Y include standard
adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency brakes. These protect
pedestrians, motorists, and other road users. An advantage of Model Y's safety features is that
they reduce accident likelihood, making insurers change insurance premiums for the car owners.
Furthermore, Tesla's Model Y SUV provides warranty and maintenance cover to cater for
defects of the car that cause accidents and car crashes. The warrant coverage for Model Y is

6
similar to that of other models. The available warranties include non-complimentary schedule
maintenance, limited warranty (covers 5000 miles or four years), and powertrain warranty,
covering a hundred thousand miles or eight years. Online shopping provides relevant information
regarding car prices, design, safety, assortment, and substitutes. Tesla's Model Y rates 8.2 out of
ten in the automobile industry, meaning there is a need to compare the car with other electric and
gasoline vehicles.
Conclusion
In conclusion, online shopping allows users to compare product ratings, prices, safety
assurance, warranty, discount, and available substitutes. In addition, online product search
enhances customer convenience by saving a significant amount of time and transportation
money. These benefits are not available with physical marketing as customers have to present
themselves physically in the firm store. Similarly, most online shopping platforms have a global
presence, meaning consumers can access the website and purchase products anywhere globally.
Finally, people should turn to the online way of shopping to enjoy a wide range of benefits.
