...Analysis of ABC Bank’s Information Systems Rufino Prensa-Feliz IST/710 Foundations of Information Systems Management Phillip Davidson, Ph.D. University of Phoenix – Online School of Advanced Studies January 22, 2007 Analysis of ABC Bank’s Information Systems Information systems (IS) are of paramount importance for developing or maintaining products and services as well as for managing today’s organizations. Effective use of information systems is undeniably essential for business organizations to achieve a competitive advantage in turbulent times. “With organizations having to become increasingly competitive, it is becoming critical that individuals and organizations be equipped to absorb, integrate and assimilate information technology (IT) in ways that will foster such competitiveness” (Kanungo, Sanjay, & Yadlapati, 1999, p.1). Organizations are constantly exploring new ways to lower cost, improve quality, and enhance customer service. Therefore, information systems are the most viable alternative to reach the desired organizational performance. Today’s organizations face challenges they never had before and have to do more with less. Kanungo et al (1999) state that, “with increasing competition, shrinking market shares and profit margins, the trend is toward increasing value for money and reducing costs” (p.1). The purpose of this paper is to analyze the information systems and major constituents implemented by ABC Bank. The banking industry manages...

...money 1) Facebook faces controversy over the handling and usage of the extensive information it collects from its users. FB user’s biggest concerns are the privacy and user controls over the information granted to Facebook. Facebook faces the dilemma of how to gain revenues from user information without violating their privacy. The management and organization failed to consider its users privacy concern when it introduced new software that users felt to be invasive. Facebook provides a free service that users pay for, in effect, by providing details about their lives, friendships, interests and activities. Facebook, in turn, uses that information to attract advertisers, app makers and other business opportunities. Facebook occasionally isn't enforcing its own rules on data privacy. Facebook requires apps to ask permission before accessing a user's personal details. However, a user's friends aren't notified if information about them is used by a friend's app. Facebook provides people a specific social networking platform and facilitates contents sharing and communication. It targets global internet users, advertisers, and also application developers. Facebook partners with different parties in the functionality, application developing, and advertisers for enabling various features to meet users’ different social needs. To give better services to right customers, Facebook exploits and analyzes customer information, shares info with third party and provides ads to targeted ones...

...Information Flow in an Organization , information is created for meaning, decision making and sharing of knowledge. Just like a river flowing information flows from one place to another, into every house, school or organization. The flow begins with the creation of the data at a terminal; this is the beginning of the information flow. From there the information flows down the pipeline through the network which is like a pipeline. Within this network of pipes you have the switching and routing of the information flow, like the valves used to push water from one location to another. From there the information flows to storage facilities like large storage facilities, these facilities in a data network are the servers, mainframes are used in conjunction with software to store, collate, and share the data just waiting to be accessed and shared. Once a person turns on the faucet or access the information the flow starts again, from the storage facility to another set of switches/routers or valves. This information is accessed like getting a drink of water. Information flow within an organization is an ever evolving process; it is circular in nature according to its activities. Chesapeake Energy’s information flow starts with the design of the information network or pipeline, network circuits include cell modems, T1 and fiber circuits. From here the routers and switches are put in place to send the information to the right storage facility or server. Software is created to determine...

...Home Page »Business and Management Communications Self-Assessment In: Business and Management Communications Self-Assessment Communication style can be summed up as, the way one is perceived by others vs. how one perceives themselves and the way one interacts with others. The text “Interpersonal skills in Organizations” talks about how behaviour, personality and attitude are key factors in determining communication style. Before reading chapter 1 of the above text, I would have said that my communication skills could be heavily worked on. I am generally very shy and nervous when it comes to talking to people I don’t know and am worried about what others will think about my own thoughts and ideas. Although I am very open to others ideas and am able to see how one idea would work the same as another would, I tend to be afraid of how one might take my own interpretation. After reading the text and doing exercise 1-A and 1-B I realised that my self- evaluation of myself was not far off at all. Scoring moderately in “emotional stability” and “extroversion” shows that, although I am rather shy I am also able to work with others, even if I prefer to do solo work and am well rounded when it comes to my opinions and the options of others. My high ratings in “open to experience” and “agreeableness,” back up my theory that I am much more reserved, although I like to learn new things and look at situations from many perspectives. Having a more low or “flexible” score in “conscientiousness”...

...are lack of training, difficulties of evaluating performance, compliance, work environment, lack of overall company support, indecisive and poor management. In order to have a successful business, I believe that finding solutions to these problems will improve the practice is important. What I have seen in the company I work for now is not everyone is vested in the tasks at hand so the attitudes of some people are poor. If the company can get involvement and interest in the Information System by all members of the company that will eliminate some of the problems and possible create ideas on how to financial fund a good system. 2.
