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.

planning and drafting your essay.
Assignment 2 (Covers Chapter 4. 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.

Assignment 3 (Covers Chapter 7. 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.

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. If you need some inspiration for your
slides, then check out https://is.gd/BYxkMA and https://wp.me/p10512-nG2.
I will record myself with the content and upload.
