Here is the week 7 paper. I submitted today - a short while ago.

A Comparison of Information Systems - EISs, DSS, and MISs
(Paper compares management information systems, decision support systems, and enterprise information systems focusing more on enterprise information systems. Prepared for the PhD-level Information Technology Decision Support course at NCU.)

Made contact

For the final assignment, I need to interview two members of the board of directors of a company. I decided to contact companies this week to increase the chances of getting a response. I prepared questions and sent emails. Now, I am waiting, hoping for a response.

The final signature assignment:



Week 8 Assignment: Signature Assignment: Consider Global Decision Support Systems
For this week, revisit the concepts of organizational intelligence (OI), competitive intelligence (CI), and business intelligence (BI) in regards to decision-making processes. Interview two (2) members of the board of directors from one company (preferably the organization from the fourth week) concerning knowledge transformation and global decision support systems (DSS). In addition to your inquiries that derived from your research, inquire about (a) the benefits and buy-in of global decision support systems, which include global studios (i.e., visual collaborations); (b) the process of deciding how global DSS may be implemented within the organization; and (c) how ethics may become compromised in deploying global DSS. Conclude how global DSS may increase the presence of global partners, which may involve off shoring to micro enterprises.

Suggested Outline:
  • NCU Assignment Cover Sheet
  • Abstract
  • Main Heading /Introduction
  • Background Information/Conceptual Framework
  • Literature Review (5-7 sources)
  • Conclusions/Recommendations
  • References
  • Appendices (if relevant)
Support your paper with ten or more scholarly or professional  resources..  In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

I had all the pieces. I just needed to pull it together. (I found some good papers yesterday and thought about an approach/a strategy using the papers.)

Work continues

I have two assignments/activities for week 7 - a discussion post and a paper. I am currently working on the assignments. I also decided to start working on the final, signature assignment for the course (the week 8 assignment), which requires interviews with two board members. I need to find two willing board members. More time will help.
