...Club it Anabel Hernandez Bis/219 March 3, 2010 Luis Vega Abstract There have been many cases where IT has helped organizations achieve strategic objectives. The real estate industry has seen a major transformation with electronic communications and the Web, the airlines are continuing to innovate, and even my course registration process is getting easier with online options. While Club IT, a night club that is about to open, is without the IT resources of K-mart or Sears, it is more agile and may be able to take advantage of its information base to help build a community with the support of IT. My role in the story is that I have been hired as an intern by Lisa Tejada and Ruben Keys. We are sitting in the empty club a few hours before opening; I have an initial meeting with Ruben and Lisa. They provide background on the club and an overview of their need to boost their information technology, data management, and decision-making capabilities. Club it Lisa Tejada and Ruben Keys are starting a nightclub together called Club it. The Club it is ready to be open for the next day. Everything looks fantastic and alluring. The DJ uses MP3 playlists to play hip-hop, techno, electronic, and some Top 40s. Moreover it has high ceilings with high energy lightning that creates an ambience of energy and fun. However, in the internal part of the business there is a little bit of chaos happening. Lisa and Ruben run the office and maintain all financial and business-related...

...for there community. The owners are moving into the right direction by taking advantage of the e-commerce activites to help there business stay ahead in this competitive market. Although the club is doing well, both Lisa and Ruben as owners could use a little help in there IT department. This is where I come in to help analyze what Lisa and Rueben already have to make their business run more effieiciently. 2. Information Technology Infrastructure The role of information technology infrastructure is to implement organization and to help produce and store pertnant information. I noticed that the owners have a dial-up connection which means that most if not all of the club’s business is done on a network. Lisa and Ruben use a Pentium 4 Processor with Windows XP Professional as there software and I would definitley recommend an upgrade since there has not been an upgrade for at least three years. This will allow for better storage and memory of there financial and business-related records. The duties of maintaing the club finanically and business-related records are split between the two owners, which can be a lot since...

...You have founded your own networking company. You have been asked to submit a proposal for a new network at RobCo Industries. They have asked you to help design, specify and install a network at their facility. Use the knowledge and skills covered in this class to help you with this project. Should you need any information not covered in this document (such as if the offices have baseboards, etc.), please feel free to ask the instructor. RobCo is located in the Port Huron Industrial Park on 16th Street. They are a small company with about 75 employees. Their main product is the patented "Propeller Beanie". They manufacture this item at the Port Huron facility. Currently they have only a few PC's installed, but their technology plan envisions that most employees will work with PC's in the future and that everyone will communicate via an intranet. In essence, your group will create a "case study"... Each week, we will be focusing on a different aspect of the project. The Total budget for this project is $25,000. Week 1 - Physical Plant The exterior dimensions of the building are 120' x 60' the exterior walls are poured concrete, while the interior walls are typical commercial metal stud framing. The building is single story, and is on a slab foundation. There is no sub-floor or basement. The manufacturing facility and the warehouse both have an open 12' ceiling. The office areas have an 8' dropped ceiling. You can estimate the interior dimensions of the...

...DIVERSIFICATION AND GLOBAL POSITION 3 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is ranked as the as the world’s second largest PC chipmaker with a market share of just 17%, far behind Intel Corp. with 81% of the market (Buckman and Williams 2001, 1). However, in 2000 AMD’s sales jumped 63% to $4.6 billion, producing $983 million in net income and its first profitable year since 1995 (Streetwalker 2001, 1). AMD owns engineering, manufacturing, warehousing and administrative facilities where it produces not only PC chips but also microprocessors, memory circuits, logic circuits, flash memory devices, telecommunication products and embedded processors (Moody’s 2000, 2520). The company’s headquarters and research and development site are located in Sunnyvale, CA, while the wafer manufacturing plants are located in Austin, TX and Dresden, Germany. The test and assembly facilities are located in Bangkok, Thailand and Penang, Malaysia. The company has also established production at the Singapore’s test and assembly facility as well as an analysis and design plant in Suzhou, China. In addition, a new plant in Japan, a joint venture of AMD and Fujitsu, called AMD Fujitsu Semiconductor Ltd. or FASB, will begin operations in the first half of 2001 (Dum 2000, 2). AMD, like many technological multinational enterprises (MNE), prefers to locate its factories and assembly plants in technology clusters in stable and democratic countries. However, AMD knows that East Asia is one of the best...
