Assignment Content
It is important to understand what information systems are and why they are essential for running and managing a business. It is also important to understand the different systems that support different groups or levels of management. In addition, digital technology and the Internet play a key role in executing major business processes in the enterprise. Also, it is important to understand the ethical, social, and political issues raised by information systems.
The case studies below provide you with an opportunity to critically analyze events that are taking place in real-life businesses. This helps to develop your critical thinking and research skills as you research each of these scenarios. You will review each case study, and provide a thorough analysis of each that demonstrates critical thinking and application of the concepts presented in Units I and II.
In Chapter 1 of your eTextbook, read the case study “UPS Competes Globally with Information Technology,” and write an analysis that addresses the following:
How does UPS use information systems technology to achieve its strategic goals of being more efficient and customer oriented?
What would happen if the automated package tracking system was not available?
Discuss how globalization has “flattened” the world.
In Chapter 2 of your eTextbook, read the case study “The City of Mississauga Goes Digital” and write an analysis that addresses the following:
Describe the problems the City of Mississauga hoped to address using digital technology.
What technologies did Mississauga employ for a solution? Describe each of these technologies and the role each played in a solution.
What management, organization, and technology issues did the City of Mississauga have to address in developing a solution?
How did the technologies in this case improve operations and decision making at the City of Mississauga?
In Chapter 3 of your eTextbook, read the case study “Shipping Wars,” and write an analysis that addresses the following:
Why is shipping so important for e-commerce? Explain your answer.
Compare the shipping strategies of Amazon, FedEx, and UPS? How are they related to each company’s business model?
Will FedEx succeed in its push into ground shipping? Why, or why not?
In Chapter 4 of your eTextbook, read the case study “Your Smartphone: Big Brother’s Best Friend” and write an analysis that addresses the following:
Describe how new technology trends may cause ethical dilemmas.
Discuss at least one ethical, social, and political issue raised by embedded cyber connections in smart devices.
Discuss how big data analytics are being applied to all of the data generated by smart vehicles and other smart devices.
Submit all four case analyses in a single paper. When constructing your paper, do not use the question-and-answer format; instead, present a thorough and insightful analysis using strong arguments and evidence as you apply course concepts. Your final submission must be an APA formatted paper of at least four pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages).
You are required to use a minimum of two peer-reviewed, academic sources that are no more than 5 years old (one may be your eTextbook) in each of the four analyses. All sources used, including the eTextbook, must have citations and references properly formatted in APA style.

This assignment utilizes a case depicting a real-life situation of which you will conduct a detailed case analysis. This will involve reading the provided case, researching the company, identifying a problem/challenge, and compiling three to five potential alternatives that could solve the problem. Finally, you will conduct additional research in order to determine which of the alternatives you will recommend—include your rationale and supporting research.
First, read the case study: “Best Buy Co., Inc.,” found beneath the Unit II Study Guide on the Unit II homepage. You will use the Case Analysis Template to complete this assignment. This analysis should include the use of the CSU Online Library to provide supporting documentation as well as the financial statements of the organization.
It is expected that a minimum of three managerial tools be used including (but not exclusively) political, economic, sociocultural, technological, ecological, and legal (PESTEL), strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT), Porter’s Five Forces, balanced scorecard, gap analysis, root cause analysis, and/or McKinsey 7-S Model. These tools are explained within the Unit I and Unit II lessons of this course and could be presented within the analysis in table format.
In order to successfully complete this case study, you need to review the video and Task Learning Guides (TLGs) located below. This will provide you with the skills to research companies using scholarly research (versus a Google search) and how to research industries/competitors. This is the basis for your external analysis and identification of the problem within the company. This will also provide supporting research within your recommendations.

For this Assignment, you will act as a consultant hired by a small organization to develop a presentation on supporting business continuity while considering ethics, privacy concerns, and security risks. The organization requested that you base your presentation on a particular case that they have identified. This case is based on a real-world situation where the electronic voting system used by the Public Opinion Programme (POP) at the University of Hong Kong was under serious distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. In this series of case studies (A and B), you will be given the opportunity to practice identifying and assessing potential cybersecurity risks and choose risk control strategies for business continuity and disaster recovery.
This case study consists of cases A and B. Case A gives the background on POP and PopVote and allows you to explore how to identify and assess potential security risks. Case B sets the scene for risk control in information security management. It describes some unexpected situations where management will need to make immediate decisions on what they should do to control the risks.
For this week, you will prepare a 6- to 8-slide presentation (excluding title slide and reference slide). You will submit Part 1 this week and Part 2 in Week 6. In addition to the slide content, you should also include text in the speaker notes section of each slide that would serve as the script you would use to deliver this presentation to a group of people. Your speaker notes should include your rationale and assumptions that pertain to your slide. You also need to have a minimum of 3–4 citations and references to support your direction. Note: You may elect to include additional slides as part of an appendix if you have information you might reasonably assume that a CEO or upper management might want. It is not required that you do so.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Read and review the following case studies:
Hui, K. L., Huang, M., Ke, P. F., & Lai, A. (2016). PopVote: Assessing the risk of DDoS (A). Thompson Center for Business Case Studies.

BY DAY 7
Submit Part 1 of your presentation and script. Be sure you are fully addressing the following in 5–6 slides, excluding references:
Part 1: Identify and Evaluate Cybersecurity Risks
Rank the vulnerabilities of PopVote, the electronic voting system, in terms of impact (financial or otherwise) to the organization. (In your speaker notes, be sure to provide rationale for your rankings.) (1–2 slides)
Identify what the Public Opinion Programme (POP) did to mitigate risks before the New Year vote in 2014. (2 slides)
