Week 3, MIS 5020Part IDiscussion QuestionsIt is a de facto standard to always keep end-users in mind when designing IT solutions. Provide an example of an IT solution where end-user input should be sought and highly valued. How would you ensure the involvement of end-users in the design process? How do you believe users help in designing IT solutions? How many users do you think should be involved? Why? Are there scenarios in which users should not be involved with the design of a new IT solution? Why?The balance between IT dominance and user dominance impacts IT activities. How do you think this balance is maintained? What do you think should prevail, IT dominance or user dominance? Why? Illustrate your answer with scenarios.Part IIPart A. Research Component: Software and Hardware SolutionsFor Enterprise X to adopt a more strategic business model and embrace the inevitable paradigm shift to internetworking, it will need to do more than adopt a new Systems Architecture, it will also need to replace the components that make up its IT-Infrastructure. An obstacle for quick adoption of a new strategy is the legacy IT-Infrastructure. Analyze the challenges faced by the IT personnel in replacing legacy hardware and software. Moreover, analyze the pros and cons of the decisions regarding a replacement. Bear in mind that there may be data issues and training issues to consider and address. Real-life cases that corroborate your findings and recommendations in this area will be very helpful in gaining acceptance for your plan. You should also analyze the positioning on McFarlan's Strategic Grid in order to position the relative importance of these components with respect to cost and other factors that you might be able to identify.To submit your assignment:Use Microsoft Word to write a 750- to 1000-word position paper that describes your findings and recommendations.You may include diagrams and illustrations to enhance and/or clarify your position on the technical issues addressed.Follow APA guidelines to write the report and cite your sources as appropriate.Save the report as SU_MIS6020_W3_lastname_firstinitial.docx and submit it to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.Part B. Presentation Component: IT/IS ModelsYou have already researched pertinent issues and prepared a Position Paper that will guide you in presenting your proposed strategy for Enterprise X. Now you must also prepare a new part of your strategy proposal for Enterprise X where you will evaluate the trade-offs with respect to costs and importance of the hardware and software components that make up the IT-Infrastructure of the company.Keep in mind that each week you will work on a new component of your proposal presentation and, combined, these weekly presentations will become your final project proposal that will be published to the class in Week 5. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with five to ten charts covering the aspects of your strategy described above.Save your documentation as SU_MIS6020_W3_Lastname_Firstinitial.pptx Note: There should be two documents. Your position paper in Microsoft Word format and your proposal presentation component in Microsoft PowerPoint format

Impact of cyber-attacks on organizations during the COVID-19 period. Cyber threats are on the rise during the prolonged period of the Covid-19 pandemic. Organizations encouraging employees to work from home following health protocols. Hackers have taken this opportunity to attack the organization's systems and their information, share harmful links, phishing, and sell malicious malware. Therefore, the increase in these cases results to research problems that need solutions. The project aims to explore the impacts of these cyber-attacks on organizations and individuals worldwide. The research will begin by identifying all the affected attacks, the threats, and assess the challenges of various firms to counter these problems by providing a technological solution through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning for the future of cybersecurity. AI which has proven to be extremely useful when it comes to detecting cyber threats based on analyzing data and identifying a threat. Finally, the research will explore all the impacts, both economic, social, and political, of these cyber-attacks. Data collection will be done through direct interviews, phone calls, and emailing to the target respondents. Quantitative techniques will be used in this process. Theoretical background: The technology adoption model could be applied in the study on the impact of cyber-attacks on organizations during the COVID-19 period.

Type I and Type II errors (worth 2.5%)Consider a contemporary aviation or industry problem, for example, the runway incursion issue mentioned earlier in this module. Describe what the consequences of committing a Type I error would be if you did not conduct your study and subsequent analysis properly. Do the same in reference to committing a Type II error. What are some ways you could mitigate the likelihood of committing both types of errors? Your response should be at least one page. Be sure to use proper APA formatted references.Note: Students should tailor their responses to their individual program of study. Therefore, the response does not necessarily need to be aviation oriented.Use standard file type (.doc or .docx). Save your assignment using a naming convention that includes your first and last name and the activity number (or description). Do not add punctuation or special characters.
