Question.
1. What are the characteristics of a
technologically enabled organization?
Answer
: As
we move from a technology focused to a service defined world, digital
transformation is becoming a top priority for business leaders. The power of
what technology can really do is being seen and embraced by people who, before
now, never considered themselves technologists. To stay competitive, companies
must stop
Question.
2. How does an Organization acquire
& disseminal knowledge?
Answer
: Structural
and informal knowledge acquisition and dissemination in organizational
learning: An exploratory analysis
The topic of organizational learning is
populated with many theories and models; many relate to the enduring
organizational learning framework consisting of knowledge acquisition,
knowledge dissemination, and knowledge use. However, most of the research
either emphasizes structural knowledge acquisition and

3. Why do you suppose inquiry – only
applications were developed instead of fully on lines system?
Answer :
Question.
4. What kind of technology is least
flexible? Most flexible?
Question.
5. How does strategic planning
differ between a firm that offers services & one that manufacturers a
product? Is there a difference in the impact of technology on strategy in any
two types of firms?
Answer
: Many
management (by which I mean the total process of selecting and implementing a
corporate strategy) of service businesses is different from that of
manufacturing businesses. This article discusses how pure service businesses
are different from product-oriented businesses and why they require different
strategic thinking. A pure service business is one in which the service is the
primary entity that is sold.
Question.
6. What kind of business activities
do you think are most amenable to common systems in different countries?
Answer
Question.
7. What kind of programs do you
think are likely to make the most use of floating – point instructions?
Answer
: : Floating-point
arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather
surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost
every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to
supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will be called
upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to time; and virtually
every operating system must respond to floating-point exceptions such as
overflow. This paper presents a tutorial on those aspects of floating-point
that have a direct impact on designers of computer systems. It begins with
background on floating- point
Question.
8. Distinguish between computer
hardware & software which most concerns a manager?
Answer
: Difference Between Hardware vs Software
In this topic, we are discussing differences
between Hardware vs software of Computers. Before discussing the difference
Between both let discuss something about what both stands for in computer
world.
Computer hardware is any physical device i.e.
available or used in (external detachable devices) or with the system, whereas
software is a collection of code that needs to be installed into the system.
For example, the computer’s monitor that we are using to read this text is an output
device and
the mouse that we used to navigate this
Question.
9. What kind of software does a
server for a local area network need to have?
Answer
: Client-server
networking grew in popularity years ago as personal computers became the
alternative to older mainframe computers. Client-server networking refers to a
computer networking model that uses both client hardware devices and servers,
each with specific functions. The client-server model can be used on the
internet as well as local area networks (LANs). Examples of client- server
systems on the internet include web
Question.
10. What is OLAP? How does it contribute to the organization?
Answer
: OLAP
(online analytical processing) is a computing method that enables users to
easily and selectively extract and query data in order to analyze it from
different points of view. OLAP business intelligence queries often aid in trends
analysis, financial reporting, sales forecasting, budgeting and other planning
purposes.
Question.
11. Why are standards so important in
communications?
Answer : Importance of
Standards
Standards provide people and organizations
with a basis for mutual understanding, and are used as tools to facilitate communication, measurement, commerce
and manufacturing.
Standards are
everywhere and play an important role in the economy, by:
facilitating business interaction enabling
companies to comply with relevant laws and regulations speeding up the
introduction of innovative
Question. 12. What
industries are most likely able to take advantage EDI?
Answer
: EDI
is not a new technology, it’s been around for around 50 decades. In the 1990s,
industry magazines talked about of EDI as a technology that will give companies
a competitive advantage. Will EDI integration really provide companies with a
competitive advantage or will it support organizations with a cooperative
advantage? This is something we will answer in this article.

is, what are the significant EDI integration challenges, what are the benefits
of EDI integrations
Question.
13. Are there applications where it
does not matter if multiple databases are simultaneously updated?
Answer
: Managing
information means taking care of it so that it works for us and is useful for
the tasks we perform. By using a DBMS, the information we collect and add to
its database is no longer subject to accidental disorganization. It becomes
more accessible and integrated with the rest of our work. Managing information
using a database allows us to become strategic users of the data we have.
We often need
to access and re-sort data for various uses. These may include:
·
Creating
mailing lists
Question.
14. Most organizations today have
computers and software, all of which are supposed to work on a network, from
different Vendors? What are the
potential problems with using products from many different sources?
Answer
: Even if you have the best team of IT experts with the most secure databases
in the world, your company is probably still at risk. We hate to say it, but
you might not have as much control over your network and servers as you think
you do.
Question.
15. What are the differences in design
for multi-user system versus a personal system on a pc?
Answer
: A
multi-user operating system (OS) is
a computer system that allows multiple users that are on different computers to
access a single system's OS resources simultaneously, as shown in Figure 1.
Users on the system are connected through a network. The OS shares resources
between users, depending on what type of resources the users need. The OS must
ensure that the system stays well-balanced in resources to meet each user's
needs and not affect other users who are connected. Some examples of a
multi-user OS are Unix, Virtual Memory System (VMS) and mainframe OS.

demonstration of a package?
Answer :
Question.
18. What is a spaghetti organization?
Answer : Spaghetti Organization refers to a
flat, loosely coupled, project based organization characterized by ambiguous
job boundaries and extensive delegation of task and project responsibilities to
autonomous teams. Let’s understand this with the example of Oticon.
Oticon is a Danish electronics producer
operating in the space of hearing aids. It became extensively known for its s
radical organizational transformation in the early 1990s. The organization was
traditionally hierarchical, functional based organization, and transformed
radically into a "Spaghetti Organization". It was the loss of

eventually eliminates the need for professional systems analysis and
programmers?
Question.
21. How can a company use multimedia
today?
Answer
: Multimedia,
such as mobile marketing, livecasting and podcasting, photo, video and file
sharing, can spread the word about your company and help build brand awareness
in a very unique and powerful way. This particular type of social media also
has the ability to go viral quickly. Hottrix, the Las Vegas, Nevada-based
iPhone app creator, became one example of a breakthrough success story when
their iBeer app, which simulates chugging a
Question.
22. How does one go about identifying
the expert to be used in developing an expert system?
Answer
: ES
are not suited to all types of problems. Initially, many developers actively
sought problems amenable to ES solution or tried to solve all problems
encountered using ES. As experience has been gained, attention has become more
properly focused on the problems to be solved rather than on the solution
technique. Note that in this course, we are focusing on systems engineering
techniques and tools and thus have been and will be quite concerned about the
solution technique.
Some problems can be described using
Question. 23. Describe
how a virus actually works? What kind of
files does it want to infect?
Answer
: A computer virus, much like a flu virus, is designed to spread from host to
host and has the ability to replicate itself. Similarly, in the same way that
flu viruses cannot reproduce without a host cell, computer viruses cannot
reproduce and spread without programming such as a file or document.
In more technical terms, a
computer virus is a type of malicious code or program written to alter the way
a computer operates and is designed to spread from one computer to another. A
virus operates by inserting or attaching itself to a legitimate program or
document that supports macros in order to execute its code. In the process, a
virus has the potential to cause unexpected or damaging effects, such as
harming the system software by
