Measuring the Value Added to the Business

Information systems are no longer being used only for data reporting. As information systems have become a major part of the business model—and IS budgets continue to rise because of increased investment in IT—there is also a growing need to understand the value of business systems.

So what are the various models that are commonly used to help measure the value added to a business by information systems?

Policy, Legal, Ethics

1) Do a bit of research on JSON and AJAX. How do they relate to the the Same-Origin policy?

Using WORD, write several short paragraphs on each. A total of 250-300 words. Use your own words.

2) Answer below questions, each of these questions in a paragraph with at least five sentences.Include the question and number your responses accordingly. Min 1 citation for EVERY question and it needs to be referenced. References & citations should be less than 6 years old. They also need to be an academic source something from the library or scholar Google not just any random website. It must be a peer reviewed academic source or an industry recognized type reference. Make sure your citations and your references use proper APA formatting if you are unsure consult the OWL website.

1. With all the stories about millions and millions of bytes of personal data having been exposed, why is their still any faith at all in the Internet?

2. How has the term hacking changed meaning over the years?

3. What is the most dangerous hacker tool?

4. From the news: How were NSA’s hacker tools compromised?

5. What was the vulnerability in the Target Breach?

6. What do you think of hactivism?

7. How did Stuxnet work?

8. What was the Arpanet?

9. Deep brain stimulation is a treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Medical devices such as these are now becoming accessible through the web. Consider the dangers (threat surface)?

3) Watch this video about Joseph Shumpeter’s concept of Creative Destruction. For example, many think that the introduction of self-driving cars will disrupt the job market for drivers.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosing the copied words in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list. Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragraphs. Do Not Doublespace.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything.

research paper

For this assignment, review the article:
Abomhara, M., & Koien, G.M. (2015). Cyber security and the internet of things: Vulnerabilities, threats, intruders, and attacks. Journal of Cyber Security, 4, 65-88. Doi: 10.13052/jcsm2245-1439.414
and evaluate it in 3 pages (800 words), using your own words, by addressing the following:
- What did the authors investigate, and in general how did they do so?
- Identify the hypothesis or question being tested
- Summarize the overall article.
- Identify the conclusions of the authors
- Indicate whether or not you think the data support their conclusions/hypothesis
- Consider alternative explanations for the results
- Provide any additional comments pertaining to other approaches to testing their hypothesis (logical follow-up studies to build on, confirm or refute the conclusions)
- The relevance or importance of the study
- The appropriateness of the experimental design
- When you write your evaluation, be brief and concise, this is not meant to be an essay but an objective evaluation that one can read very easily and quickly. Also, you should include a complete reference (title, authors, journal, issue, pages) you turn in your evaluation. This is good practice for your literature review, which you’ll be completing during the dissertation process.
  Your paper should meet the following requirements:
- Be approximately three pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
- Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
- Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.
- Be clear and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

IT project management

PART 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT SCENARIO (20%)

This part of the in-course assessment is intended to address Learning Outcomes 1, 2. For this part of the assessment, you are required to critically scope and author a project management case scenario which should contain sufficient appropriate detail for analysis and determination of an IT-related project management strategy, plan and toolset. This scenario could be fictitious or based on a real business need.Start with describing the business case and value(s) of the project, then add both qualitative and quantitative details to explain the scenario in more depth. The data might be used in the formulation of your plan or toolset. You can use appendices for finer details.

Word count for Part1: approx. 1,000 words (guideline only).

PART 2: PROJECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGY & PLAN (50%)

This part of the in-course assessment is intended to address Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7. In this part of the assessment you will review, develop and defend a case for adopting a specific project management life cycle (PMLC) and develop a suitable project management plan. The aim is to demonstrate knowledge of alternative philosophies and project planning artefacts, critically evaluating which broad methodological approach (and toolset) would fit your described project scenario. It is therefore expected that you will analyse your scenario, compare and contrast project management approaches, then select the most appropriate ones for your scenario and justify your choices.

Word count for Part 2: approx. 2,000 words (guideline only).

PART 3: TOOLSET (30%)

This part of the in-course assessment is intended to address Learning Outcomes 3, 4. In this part of the submission you are required to employ a suitable toolset portfolio, demonstrating how the tools advocated would / could be applied to the given project management scenario. You may use live case data, plausible invented data, or an exemplar, illustrative presentation of critical tools in your toolset.

Word count for Part 3: approx. 300 words (guideline only),plus associated illustrations

Where does data analysis begin?

The collection of data is not the onset of data analysis projects. A data analysis project begins with a purpose, problem, and research questions.

Find one scholarly research paper with an excellent example of:

Problem statement
Research questions

The example shall relate to a practical, real-world work environment in the information technology field. After finding the research, discuss the following:

What makes this example excellent in the topics that initiate a data analysis project?
What relates this example to a practical, real-world work environment in the information technology field?
Do the research questions meet the criteria defined in the lecture in week one?
What is the generalizability of this research?

Information Systems Business and Beyond
