Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 1-1.

What are the six primary roles that information systems play in organizations? How are information systems used in each context? What does digital transformation mean? Information systems play critical roles in (1) managing operations, (2) supporting customer interactions, (3) making decisions, (4) collaborating on teams, (5) gaining competitive advantage, and (6) improving individual productivity. In operations management, information systems are used to manage assets and inventories; track employee payroll, taxes, benefits, and timesheets; process transactions; track accounts payable and accounts receivable; procure goods and services; and pay suppliers. Information systems that support customer interactions include customer relationship management systems, web-based front offices, online self-service applications, modern point-of-sale systems and selfservice checkouts. Information systems support data-driven decision making by using both internal organizational data and external data from partners, suppliers and public sources. Smart managers use aggregated data to identify trends and patterns rather than rely on gut instincts. Collaboration and teamwork have considerable support from information systems such as web applications that enable virtual meeting spaces and social networking sites. Microsoft’s SharePoint is an example of information technology that supports project teams with document management, shared calendars, and communication features. The innovative use of an information system can provide a competitive advantage until competitors jump on the bandwagon. Consider how Apple’s iPhone got the jump on smartphone competitors with Siri, the intelligent personal assistant. The selection of information systems and technology to improve personal productivity ranges from use of email and smartphones to word processing programs and contact databases. The challenge for most people is to pick easy-to-use software and devices that integrate with existing applications. Digital transformation is how organizations develop new business models by integrating digital technologies into all aspects of the business, including relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners.

How is data different from information? How is information different from knowledge? What are examples of each? Data refers to individual facts or pieces of information, and information refers to data or facts that are assembled and analyzed to add meaning and usefulness. A patient’s temperature reading is one piece of data; however, when combined with other pieces of data in a patient records information system, it becomes 4 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 2, Information Systems and Strategy

information that is useful for diagnostic purposes. Aggregated with data from other patients, it can be further refined and analyzed to become knowledge of a flu outbreak that is even more useful. 1-3.

What are the three characteristics that make information valuable? Why is each a critical attribute of information? The three characteristics that make information valuable are timeliness, accuracy, and completeness. Timeliness is a critical attribute for certain kinds of information, such as stock prices. Accuracy is a critical attribute for some information, such as a patient’s temperature reading. On the other hand, extreme accuracy may not be necessary for certain kinds of information, such as a competitor’s price for a rival product. Completeness is a critical attribute for some information, such as a patient’s list of current medications. In the context of a marketing survey, complete information adds value as a means to avoid bias or spin.

1-4.

What are the four components of an information system? Describe each component. What are the five functions that these components provide? The four components of an information system are (1) people, (2) technology, (3) processes, and (4) data. People interact with information systems in various roles such as systems analysis and developers, managers, users, customers, contributors, and sometimes roadblocks. Information technology includes hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment. Business processes are activities designed to achieve a task, such as automatically generating form letters to students. Data are individual facts or pieces of information. These four components are used to (1) collect, (2) process, (3) manage, (4) analyze, and (5) distribute information.

1-5.

How are information systems important to managers in a variety of functional business units? What are examples of ways that information systems are important to the success of a marketing department, a human resources department, and a small business owner? Information systems are important to business managers because they support the company’s business activities throughout every functional department. Information systems are used to streamline processes, reduce costs, increase revenue, or launch that “killer app.” A marketing manager who knows how to analyze big data from multiple sources will make much smarter decisions about how to spend the marketing budget most effectively. A talent development professional who has experience launching effective e-learning modules will reach more employees for far less money compared with the trainer who hands 5 ..

out three-ring binders in face-to-face classes. The online learning programs can also be easily updated, while information in the binders grows stale quickly. Selfemployed consultants with knowledge of information systems can launch websites, build social networks, and maximize profits from online ads—all for very little money. 1-6.

What are the functional areas that are common to most information technology departments? Common functional areas in an information systems department include help desk, systems administration, data center operations, enterprise systems and applications, and telecommunications and network services.

1-7.

What is the role of the chief information officer? The chief information officer (CIO) heads the IT department and is responsible for managing and maintaining information systems and ensuring they support the organization’s strategic goals. The CIO might report directly to the CEO or the vice president of finance and administration.

1-8.

What are some of the perils of information systems? What are some of the ethical questions associated with the use of information systems? The perils of information systems include the increased risk of privacy breaches and amplification effects that result from interconnected systems. A number of ethical questions are associated with the use of information systems: Who is responsible for the damage caused by a privacy breach? Who is responsible when false, damaging, or illegal videos are shared on the internet? Is it unethical to broadcast an email message received by mistake?

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 1-9.

As customers, students, patients, taxpayers, and citizens, we are surrounded by information systems that support customer interactions. Identify and describe two such systems that you have used. Briefly describe the types of customer interactions you have experienced with these systems and compare what you found to be important features of each one. Are there features or functions that you would change or add to either system? Answers will vary, as the object of this question is to prompt the student to consider features of an information system. An example is a student registration system that allows students to browse class offerings, review course descriptions and required textbooks, and register for classes.

1-10. Web conferencing has been available for many years. In this market space, products from Adobe, Cisco, Citrix, IBM, and Microsoft compete with lowercost or free web-conferencing applications from Zoom, AnyMeeting, and others. What are some of the advantages of using a virtual meeting space? Are there disadvantages? Search the web to learn more about online meeting rooms and prepare a five-minute presentation of your findings. The benefits of virtual meetings include saved time and money, increased productivity, increased meeting participation, and the ability to record meetings for presentation at a later date. On the other hand, virtual meeting participants may be less likely to build strong, personal relationships, and they may be more likely to experience distractions and engage in multitasking (e.g., checking email) during the meeting. Acquiring the necessary technology and training in the use of that technology are additional drawbacks of virtual meetings. 1-11. Information systems play a very large role in decision making, and many would argue that you can always use more information to make better decisions. But sometimes digging deeply for more information leads to troubling ethical dilemmas. Visit 23andme.com, the website of a company that offers to read your DNA from saliva for a flat fee and provide reports about disease risk factors, ancestral lineage, and more. If you learn of a significant health risk, should you tell siblings who chose not to investigate their own DNA? Should you tell your significant other? List factors you should take into account when making decisions about whether to obtain information like this and how to use it. Answers to this question will vary based on the student’s perspective and experience. Potential factors that students may identify are the physical and psychological health of their friends and family, their own physical and psychological health, and potential impact to past and future relationships.

1-12. One way to be more productive and manage time efficiently, is to use the calendar feature offered by many email systems, such as Microsoft Outlook or Gmail. Create a calendar for the semester that shows class times as well as test dates and project due dates. If you have a smartphone, you may be able to sync your calendar to an app, so you always have it handy. Which reminder option did you select for class times? Which reminder option did you select for project due dates? Briefly describe several benefits of using the calendar feature.

7 ..

Answers will vary, as the object of this question is to require students to work with software that enhances productivity. At a minimum, students should be able to list several benefits of the Outlook or Gmail calendar features, which include the ability to mark items such as appointments, meetings, or all-day events, and to specify items as recurring or one-time events. The scheduling option is used to invite others to a meeting. Reminders can be set anywhere from 15 minutes up to five days prior to an appointment.

1-13. Netflix has grown to more than millions of customers who can stream movies and TV episodes to any internet-connected device or request DVDs by mail. Describe Netflix in terms of (1) the types of information technology it uses and (2) its customer-facing business processes. Answers supplied by students will vary, but generally should be drawn from chapter information contained in Section 1.3: The Components of an Information System. Answers should include brief statements relating to people, technology, processes, and data.

1-14. Consider the information that is maintained by a bank. In addition to customer records, the bank maintains records on accounts and loans. Figure 1-20 and Figure 1-21 (below) are two examples of database tables for a regional bank. How might this data be aggregated and analyzed to create information and knowledge?

Answers will vary but the student should be able to provide several examples. For instance, the student may discuss how customer data may be aggregated with account data to create information such as a table showing customers in zip code 60504 having a savings account, and how customer data and account data may be aggregated and analyzed to create higher-level knowledge, such as which customers may be prospects for a CD savings account or a consumer loan.

1-15. Parking is a problem at many universities across the United States. Is it a problem on your campus? Describe the business process to acquire a parking pass at your school. Can you get a parking pass online? Can you get one in person? How does your process compare with that of an organization that uses a paper form to apply for a parking permit? How can that organization use an information system to improve this business process? Can you think of a business process at your college or university that can be improved with an information system? Answers will vary depending on the business process evaluated. Students should be able to provide a comprehensive description of the process they use to acquire a parking pass and a comparison to the process used at a smaller school. They may identify a process they have experienced that can be improved or eliminated with the help of information systems.

1-16. A typical information technology department is composed of common functional areas, and each requires skills and competencies unique to that area. Scan the web or visit an online job search site such as careerbuilder.com or monster.com to learn more about the IT functional areas described in Figure 1-15. Select two functional areas and compare job postings for each. In a brief report, contrast the differences in education, experience, and technical certification that are required for each job.

Answers will vary depending on the websites accessed. Job titles generally should be drawn from information contained in Figure 1-16. Students may identify network and security certifications such as CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate), CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional), and CompTIA’s A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications.

1-17. In 2020, a hacker attacked electronic files at a media law firm, and a great deal of sensitive information was stolen. The victims included well-known celebrities such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, and Drake, among others. Work in a small group with classmates to consider the severity of this leak of private information. In this case, should the severity of the breach measured by the number of affected individuals or by the high-profile status of some of the subscribers? What criteria are best for judging the severity of a data leak? Prepare a brief summary of your group discussion. Answers will vary but students should weigh the factors that they consider important in judging the scope of the damage and defend their criteria. The extent of harm done directly and indirectly should be considered, whether or not highprofile individuals are involved. 1-18. Information systems are fundamental to the success of every functional business unit within an organization, from marketing to manufacturing to finance. Work in a small group with classmates to share your career choice and discuss how information systems support processes within your field. Can you name types of software applications that are used in your chosen career? Answers will vary depending on students’ career choices. Students should discuss how information systems support processes within a given field in the context of the different roles information systems play in different organizations. Accounting majors may identify QuickBooks or NetSuite accounting programs. Marketing majors may identify email marketing or internet marketing software programs. Information technology majors may identify project management software programs.

Solutions to Application Exercises 1-19. Excel Application: Staff Planning Spreadsheet

Precision Products specializes in custom-manufactured metal parts. The production manager has asked you to create an Excel spreadsheet to help manage operations. The company needs a way to calculate staffing requirements (number of employees) based on different levels of production. The five manufacturing operations are fabrication, welding, machining, assembly, and packaging. One unit of production requires 1.5 hours for fabrication, 2.25 hours for welding, 0.7 hours for machining, 3.2 hours for assembly, and 0.5 hours for packaging. Download the Excel file Ch01Ex01 (Figure 1.22) and then calculate the 10 ..

weekly staffing required, at 40 hours per week, for production levels of 200, 300, 400, and 500 units. How does the total required for each level of production change if Precision Products operates a 45-hour production schedule? In the file Excel Ch01Ex01, students should go to the cell containing 40 (Weekly Requirement) hours and change it to 45; the formula would then recalculate the Total Requirement amount. Refer to the Ch01Ex01_Solution file. Figure 1.22 Managing operations at Precision Products using Excel.

1-20. Access Application: Information Systems in Business

Seconds Later, a clothing consignment shop, is fast becoming a favorite place to shop. The owner has asked you to create an Access database to help manage inventory. Download and import the information provided in the spreadsheet Ch01Ex02 to create a database with two tables (Consignors and Items). The owner wants you to add a calculated field to the Items table that shows the net selling price after paying the commission to the consignors. Start with two reports: an Inventory Report and a Consignor Report. The Inventory Report summarizes the inventory by item type. This report will include the number of items and the total selling price for each item type plus the total sales value of each inventory type. It will also include the total potential commission that the consignors will earn if the owner sells all items. The Consignor Report will list the total number of items and the total selling 11 ..

price and commission for each consignor. What other reports could you make with this data that would be useful to the owner? Students should produce an Access database with two tables by importing data from the Excel file named Ch01Ex02. In Access, you can create table fields that calculate values. In the older Access 2007, calculated fields are created in a query. Students should create queries to produce the Inventory Report and the Consignor Report, using the Property sheet caption field to name the columns and the format function to show values as currency. Refer to the Ch01Ex02_Solution file.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1—Trading at the Speed of Light: Nasdaq’s Information Challenges 12 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 2, Information Systems and Strategy

1-21. How has Nasdaq’s business benefited from the use of information systems?

The purpose of the first two questions for this case is to have students consider how information systems (IS) can transform an organization. Nasdaq is a technology company that would not be possible without IS. IS enabled Nasdaq to enter the trading market even after the NYSE was well established, to offer customers a full range of trading services even as a relatively new organization, and to achieve an advantage in speed compared with other exchanges. Further, IS are a source of revenue growth for Nasdaq, as Nasdaq has sold its technology to other countries and the IT department directly supports Nasdaq’s new business strategies. 1-22. What risks do information systems pose for Nasdaq’s business? The purpose of this question is to have students give a balanced consideration to the risks of IS as well as the benefits of IS. The benefits of IS were addressed in the previous question, and this question addresses risks. One risk is that IS lowers the cost of doing business for all firms in an industry, which is likely to lead to lower prices. Nasdaq must manage this risk by finding ways to remain profitable even in an environment of lower prices. A second risk is that IS can contribute to high market volatility, which could lead to a loss of investor confidence and cause instability for the entire industry. For example, to help manage this risk, Nasdaq strengthened the guardrails around trading that will prevent high frequency traders from moving stock shares too quickly if prices go outside previously set price “bands.” 1-23. This chapter discusses the value of information. What types of information are handled through Nasdaq systems, what are the key characteristics of this information, and how do Nasdaq customers use this information to create value? The purpose of this question is to have students focus on the “information” aspect of IS. The most critical components of information handled through Nasdaq systems are the security name, price, seller, buyer, and time of the trade. One interesting characteristic is that this information is constantly changing. For example, from one moment to the next, the price of a security will change and the seller willing to sell the security at that price will change. Nasdaq customers create value based on access to timely information, as a customer may want to buy at a certain price, sell at a certain price, or transact on an exchange with a certain level of commission.

1-24. What does the example of Goldman Sachs paying to locate its server in the 13 ..

Nasdaq data center say about the relationship between information systems and physical operations? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the relationship between technical considerations and physical operations. This theme will surface in several cases throughout the textbook. Given the importance of timeliness to Nasdaq customers (see third question in this case study), even with high-speed IS there is a small benefit in response time based on server location and the distance the information must travel to confirm trades. Trades are conducted within nanoseconds so any delays due to physical distance might be costly. Goldman Sachs is willing to pay a premium for server location, which represents yet another IS revenue source for Nasdaq. As Nasdaq moves its servers to the cloud, traders like Goldman Sachs can move their servers to the cloud provider’s data center. Even in automated operations, students will need to understand where physical location may still make a difference for firms, workers, and customers.

Case 2—Breaking News: Twitter’s Growing Role in Emergencies and Disaster Communications

1-25. What are the potential benefits of Twitter and other social media for emergency and disaster communications? The purpose of the first two questions for this case is to have students consider how IS can transform a public service. Although emergency and disaster communications have developed through the years based on existing technologies (such as an air horn for a tornado watch, or the Federal Emergency Alert System [EAS] through television and radio), new technologies such as Twitter and social media offer potential benefits for these communications. For example, social media enable emergency and disaster communications to originate from multiple locations at the same time (while an air horn or a news reporter operates from only one location at a time). Social media also enable emergency and disaster communications to be constantly updated in real time. 1-26. What are the potential risks of using Twitter and other social media for emergency and disaster communications? The purpose of this question is to have students give a balanced consideration to the risks of IS as well as the benefits of IS. The benefits of IS were addressed in the previous question for this case study above, and this question addresses risks. One risk is that the IT and 14 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 2, Information Systems and Strategy

telecommunications infrastructure on which social media operates could be overloaded or cease to operate in a disaster. For example, on September 11, 2001, many mobile phone circuits in large cities were overloaded by excessive demand. To manage this risk, providers would need to look at the robustness of their infrastructure in the face of peak demand, and the flexibility of infrastructure to reroute traffic if some nodes are damaged. A second risk is that because various individual citizens are preparing updates, the updates may vary in depth and accuracy. Management of this risk will be discussed in the next question. 1-27. What types of education would be necessary at the user level to make Twitter and other social media more effective for emergency and disaster communications? The purpose of this question is to have students consider the value chain in social media. As social media begins to play a role in functions (such as public safety) that were previously handled by firms, students need to understand how the related value chains may be impacted. The key objectives of educating citizens on the use of social media in emergencies would be to reduce variability and increase quality and timeliness of communications. Accordingly, it would be useful to educate citizens on basic principles (such as syntax) of using social media for emergency communications. It is also important to remind citizens to issue genuine communications, and to prioritize urgent communications during an emergency or disaster.

1-28. What would need to happen on the part of aid organizations and traditional media for Twitter and other social media to be effective in emergency and disaster communications? The purpose of this question is for students to continue the discussion from the third question for this case study and consider the value chain implications of using social media for emergency and disaster communications. Although citizens may originate the communications, aid organizations and traditional media would still need to monitor the communications, integrate the communications, and prioritize the communications so that appropriate action can be taken. Aid organizations also need to coordinate directly with each other to ensure that they do not duplicate efforts in the response, and that they allocate resources efficiently to address all important areas in a timely manner.

Why would this approach be limited in terms of its ability to find all the events that may have affected your friend? Eight reports were found. This search strategy is limited for at least two reasons. First, a user may miscount the number of rows when data is sorted. Second, it is possible that Bay Champagne may be mistyped for other entries (for example, “Champagne Bay”) and may not show next to the other eight Bay Champagne entries in the spreadsheet. 1-34. For crisis management, timeliness is important, but so is accuracy. How many reports in this sample were not verified (NO in the Verified column)?

Many reports of Health Effects in Grand Isle involve internal symptoms (such as coughing or difficulty breathing) that may be more difficult to verify during a reporting visit. This may be partly because the symptom may not manifest during the reporting visit, and partly because the report data collection involved verbal interviews rather than medical examinations.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 2-1.

What are the five competitive forces that shape industry competition? How are these forces interrelated? The five forces that influence industry competition are (1) threat of new entrants, (2) power of buyers, (3) power of suppliers, (4) threat of substitutes, and (5) rivalry among existing competitors. The five forces determine industry structure and how profitable companies in the industry will be. The five interrelated forces are “internal” to the industry.

2-2.

How do disruptive innovations, government policies, complementary products and services, and environmental events affect how the competitive forces operate? Disruptive innovations, government policies, complementary products and services, and environmental are “external” forces that affect how the five forces operate. For example, certain innovations can flood through an industry like a tidal wave, changing everything in their path, forcing every company to either make changes or sink.

2-3.

What are the components of the value chain? Which components comprise the primary activities? Which components comprise the support activities? What is the extended value chain? The primary activities of a value chain are: (1) bring in raw resources; (2) make the product or service; (3) market the product or service; (4) deliver the product or service; and (5) provide customer support. The support activities are: (1) administration and management; (2) human resources; (3) technology support; and (4) procurement. The extended value chain links the company’s value chain with the value chains of its suppliers and its customers.

2-4.

How do managers use benchmarks to analyze the value chain and IT spending?

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 3, Information and Communications Technologies: The Enterprise Architecture

Organizations use the value chain model to compare their performance to industry benchmarks and identify areas that should be targeted for improvement. For example, an organization may compare its budget allocation to each value chain activity to industry benchmarks (i.e., average expenditures in its industry). IT benchmarks include average IT spending by industry and amount spent on IT per employee. 2-5.

How do information systems apply to competitive strategies for business? All of the competitive strategies leverage information systems to achieve success. Low-cost leaders must automate as much as possible using information systems to reduce costs in many different ways depending on the industry. Organizations with a differentiated product or service often rely on innovations in IT to implement their strategy.

2-6.

How are information systems used to run, grow, and transform a business? Information systems are used to run a business by supporting productivity throughout the organization, in every component of the value chain, helping to streamline processes in administration and management and improve customer loyalty. As a strategic enabler, IT can be used to grow and transform a business by facilitating a new business model or introducing disruptive innovations.

2-7.

How do information systems apply to competitive strategies for nonprofit organizations? Nonprofit organizations can apply information systems to their competitive strategy in two critical areas: fund-raising and volunteer management. Specialized information systems assist nonprofits in managing donations and online fundraising as well as building relationships with volunteers.

2-8.

How do governments use information systems to improve services and fund research? Governments use information systems to improve services in varied ways depending on the specialized requirements and responsibilities of the agency providing the service. For example, the military uses real-time systems to support military personnel and material distribution; the Department of Natural Resources needs easy ways for people to report poachers who damage forests or hunt illegally, and the agency offers online tools for that; the US Internal Revenue Service must have information systems to support e-filing and to process millions of tax returns. Government funding is critical to certain kinds of 23 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

research projects that private investors might avoid for various reasons including risk and uncertainty. For example, the internet was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Currently, green sources of energy and the smart electricity grid are receiving significant funding from governments.

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 2-9.

Although many people think electronic book readers are expensive, there is a massive global demand for the devices, and the trend is likely to continue for some time. Search the web to learn more about how digital technology has disrupted the book publishing industry, and prepare a five-minute presentation of your findings. Answers will vary. At a minimum, students should be able to list several effects of digital technology on book publishing such as a decrease in sales of non-digital books and new options for self-publishing books and make them available on Kindle and iBooks and other websites.

2-10. The value that attracts millions of customers to McDonald’s every day comes from capabilities that are based in its value chain. Briefly describe McDonald’s value chain and discuss how information systems facilitate each component in the chain. Can you think of a way that information technology could improve a visit to McDonald’s? Answers will vary but should include an example of at least one information system that is used in each component of the value chain and one improvement using information technology. 2-11. Information technology enables nonprofit organizations to reach out to constituents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Visit www.redcross.org and note the various ways this charity is using its website to communicate with volunteers, donors, and people who need assistance. Compare the Red Cross site to your university’s alumni association website. Prepare a brief summary of your findings that includes a list of specific services provided on each site. How does each website support the organization’s strategic goals? Answers will vary depending on the services made available by their local alumni association. Because the content of www.redcross.org may change, expected results will vary but should include services such as these: Get Assistance, Volunteer, Take a Class, and Give Blood.

2-12. Government agencies and corporations have similar information needs. Identify and briefly discuss specific examples of information systems typically used by a law enforcement agency such as a state or local police 24

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 3, Information and Communications Technologies: The Enterprise Architecture

department. Which of these systems are used to “run” the business? Which are used to fulfill the agency’s mission? Answers will vary but should include an example of an information system used to manage operations such as human resource scheduling, payroll, or accounts payable. The mission of a state or local police department includes safeguarding the lives and property of the people it serves. Examples of systems to fulfill the agency’s mission may include systems to manage criminal history records, arrest warrants, stolen vehicles and property, fingerprint identification, sex-offender registration, and concealed handgun licenses.

2-13. What are the three basic strategies that companies adopt to compete? Describe how information systems support each strategy. What is a “hybrid” strategy? Describe a company, product, or service that adopts each of these four competitive strategies. The three basic strategies are (1) low-cost leadership, (2) product differentiation, and (3) focused niche. The low-cost leadership strategy relies on information systems that automate and streamline processes and eliminate costly human labor. The product differentiation strategy requires systems that add special features or unique add-ons for which customers are willing to pay more. The focused niche strategy relies on special features for a particular market niche such as a business or government segment. A hybrid model incorporates aspects of several strategies. An example of a hybrid strategy is providing the best value for the lowest price. Answers will vary regarding names of companies, products, or services that adopt each of these competitive strategies. This question draws on the student’s ability to understand the four strategies and their knowledge of companies, products, and services.

2-14. The US federal government collects trillions in taxes each year, including individual income taxes, social security/ social insurance taxes, and corporate taxes. Visit www.irs.gov and describe how this website enhances services to the public. What types of services are available to individuals? To businesses? To charities and nonprofit organizations? What kind of “tax information for students” does this site provide? Prepare a five-minute presentation of your findings. The list of services provided at www.irs.gov could be extensive. For example, services provided to individuals include assistance with finding a “free file” provider, transmitting a tax return electronically, and checking on the status of a tax return. Services provided to businesses include electronic submission of tax returns, links to compliance and enforcement information, and taxpayer advocate services. Services provided to charities 25 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

and nonprofit organizations are similar to those provided to businesses. Services provided to students include links to an interactive tax education program and information on education credits and student loan interest. Student lists will vary and should include specific services for each category of client.

2-15.

Why are IT resources described as a commodity? How do IT resources “matter” in terms of the different roles they play in an organization? Which component of an information system is most critical to success in growing and transforming the business? Why? A commodity is a product for which quality is the same no matter who produces it. Examples are milk and paper. The price of a commodity fluctuates depending on supply and demand. Nicholas Carr suggests that IT resources have become so commonplace that their strategic importance has diminished, and they have become an infrastructure commodity, much like electricity. Information technology resources that are used to run the business generally fall into the commodity category where price competition is fierce. Consequently, organizations can avoid wasteful spending for these systems and get the best value for the lowest cost. On the other hand, information systems that are used to grow and transform an organization include the “people” component. Although many technologies are commodities, the ability to extract their value requires human imagination. Innovative business practices, new products and services, and changed processes come from talented people who know how to leverage information technology.

2-16. According to the Computer History Museum (www.computerhistory.org), the Kenbak Corporation sold the first personal computer in 1971. Since then, several billion PCs have been sold under various brand names. Work in a small group with classmates to analyze and describe the personal computer industry using the five competitive forces model. Students should be able to provide a brief analysis that describes competitive rivalry as high due to little differentiation in PCs, supplier power that comes from the lack of substitutes for their input product and the cost associated with changing suppliers, and buyer power that comes from customer price sensitivity and the low cost of switching to another PC. The threat of substitutes is relatively high because it is easy for customers to switch to alternate products such as laptops, notebooks, and netbooks. The threat of a new entrant in this industry is relatively low due to barriers to entry such as acquiring necessary inputs from key suppliers.

2-17. Work in a small group with classmates to discuss how information technology plays a role in the competitive environment of your college or university. How do you describe the competition to attract and retain students? How do you describe the threat of substitutes in higher education? How does the threat of substitutes affect supplier power in education?

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 3, Information and Communications Technologies: The Enterprise Architecture

Answers will vary. At a minimum, students should provide a list of ways that IT is used by their college or university to attract and retain students and discuss the competitive environment of their school. The threat of substitutes in higher education includes programs provided by community colleges and technical schools, as well as online degree programs offered by traditional and virtual universities. As students have more choices, supplier power for institutions of higher education is reduced.

Solutions to Application Exercises 2-18. Excel Application: IT Benchmarks Jay’s Bikes is a family-owned and -operated business that stocks a wide range of bikes designed to fit the needs of professional riders, your child’s first bike, and everything in between. The business has 12 full-time employees. Download the Excel file Ch02Ex01 (Figure 2.21) to calculate average IT spending so that it can be compared with the retail industry average. Recall that average IT spending in the retail industry is about 2 percent of revenue. How do the company’s IT expenditures compare with the industry average? How much would the company need to change spending in order to match the retail industry average? Students should use formulas to calculate Jay’s average IT spending as a percent of revenue and his average IT spending per employee, then use Goal Seek to determine how much he needs to change IT expenditures to match the industry benchmark of 2 percent of revenue. To answer the question, “How much would Jay need to change spending in order to match the retail industry average?,” students should use a formulas to calculate (a) the difference between Jay’s current IT spending as a percent of revenue and the target spending as a percent of revenue and (b) the difference between Jay’s current IT spending per employee and the target spending per employee. Refer to Ch02Ex01_Solution file.

2-19. Access Application: Telethon Call Reports

The volunteer coordinator of the Downtown Emergency Shelter has asked you to use the information provided in Figure 2-22 to create an Access database. (You can download the Excel file called Ch02Ex02 and import the data into your database.) The coordinator will use the database to manage donor records and help the shelter prepare for an upcoming Phonathon fundraising event. During the Phonathon, volunteers will call previous donors to ask for donations to this year’s fund. Your instructions are to create two tables (donors and volunteers) and prepare a Phonathon Call Report for each volunteer. The shelter manager wants you to add three fields to the donor table: this year’s contribution, a calculated field that shows the average contribution per employee, and a calculated field that shows a target contribution that is 5 percent higher than last year’s contribution. The report should list the volunteer’s name and number, as well as the following donor information: donor number, donor name, company name, phone number, contribution amount from the prior year, number of employees, average contribution per employee, and target contribution for this year. Although address information will not be included on the report, that information will be used to send receipts to the donors at the conclusion of this year’s fund-raising event. Students should produce an Access database with two tables by importing data from the Excel file named Ch02Ex02. Students should create a query to produce the Phonathon Call Report. The query includes two calculated fields: average contribution per employee and target contribution per employee for the current year. Set the format for both fields to currency in the Property sheet. Refer to Ch02Ex01_Solution file.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1— Can GameStop Survive with Its Brick-and-Mortar Stores?

2-20. Perform a five forces analysis of the online gaming industry. What are the implications of the five forces analysis for GameStop? The purpose of this question is to have students apply a framework from the chapter to the case. A five forces analysis provides an idea of whether or not an industry would be attractive to enter. In the online gaming industry, entry barriers are reasonably low (implies that industry is not attractive), because all that is required to enter the industry are developers to program a game and a website to publish the game. There are numerous available substitutes (implies that industry is not attractive), as online gaming is only one of many forms of entertainment. Internal rivalry is increasing (implies that industry is not attractive) with multiple providers 29 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

of online gaming. Buyer power is low (implies that industry is attractive) because buyers are individual consumers, and no consumer wields undue market power. There is some supplier power (implies that industry is moderately attractive), because there may be a limit to the number of talented developers available for hire. This five forces analysis suggests that the online gaming industry has low to moderate attractiveness. It is not necessary for students to arrive at this suggested answer, instead it is more important for students to get experience in performing and drawing implications from a five forces analysis. 2-21. What role have information systems played in the five forces you identified? Building from the five forces analysis in the previous question, IS plays a key role in at least three of the five forces. For example, one reason that barriers to entry are low is because online distribution reduces the barriers to entry. A game publisher does not require physical logistics to distribute games to retail locations; the publisher can simply distribute directly to consumers via the internet. One reason that substitutes for online gaming are high is that the target demographic can use online social media (another form of entertainment) at no cost. One reason that internal rivalry is increasing is because existing retailers (such as GameStop) are adding online channels. It is not necessary for students to develop this precise analysis, instead it is more important for students to understand the relationship between IS and strategy. 2-22. How has GameStop used information systems to compete more effectively? The five forces analysis performed in questions 1 and 2 relate with GameStop’s evaluation of the industry and GameStop’s response to the industry. The purpose of this question is to have students understand how firms can incorporate IS as part of their strategy. GameStop acquired an online gaming company to embrace online gaming as a substitute for offline gaming and to enter that segment of the industry. Firms can use IS as a tool to implement their strategies.

2-23. What other strategic actions will GameStop need to take to protect its business? The purpose of this question is to have students understand that IS are only one component of strategy, and that organizations need to integrate IS together with other components to successfully execute a strategy. For this

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 3, Information and Communications Technologies: The Enterprise Architecture

case, in addition to acquiring the online gaming company, GameStop will need to integrate operations of the online gaming company with its brickand-mortar operations, to take advantage of GameStop’s physical footprint. Offering opportunities to earn PowerUP reward points is an example of how the company can attract more in-store customers. The company might also conduct gaming tournaments that further integrate its online presence with in-store events. GameStop management will need to think through whether the firm will compete more based on low price (in which case it might increase its focus on online gaming) or quality service (in which case it might maintain focus on the brick-and-mortar stores and personnel). Company management also needs to be alert to the suddent and dramatic effects that social media can have on their business and reputation.

Case 2— The Battle over Net Neutrality

2-24. What are the strategic interests of carriers? What are the strategic interests of websites? The purpose of this case is to give students the opportunity to think through strategic considerations at the industry level, as opposed to the firm level as in the GameStop case. In this case, the strategic interests of carriers such as Verizon and AT&T are not necessarily aligned with the strategic interests of websites such as YouTube and Facebook. Carriers argue that they have invested substantial financial resources to build internet capacity and want to protect their ability to generate additional revenues from their investments. On the other hand, websites argue that their success depends on a direct connection to the customer and the ability to offer the customer an exceptional user experience. 2-25. How do the interests of carriers differ from the interests of websites? What are the implications for websites from a value chain perspective? The purpose of this question is to help students further understand the relationship between IS and strategy at the industry level. Building from the first question for this case, one way for carriers to protect their investments and generate additional revenues would be to have users pay for enhanced internet connectivity. Another way for carriers to generate additional revenues would be to have websites pay for higher priority. On 31 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

the other hand, websites would view less robust internet access for some users or websites (implied if not all users or websites pay for enhanced access) as interference to their user experience and business models. From a five forces perspective, the decision on net neutrality could dramatically impact the proportion of online revenues that accrue to carriers versus websites (carriers are one supplier for websites), and the relative attractiveness of each industry. 2-26. What is the basis for Verizon’s lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission? Why did it claim a violation of free speech? This question helps students understand how companies can use the legal system to fight government regulations. As a carrier, Verizon is hindered by the FCC’s ruling in favor of net neutrality. Verizon is claiming a “violation of free speech” because the FCC’s rulings are taking away control over the carrier’s property, which in some contexts might be considered speech. Students might also answer this question more fully by researching the outcome of the case and the court’s response.

2-27. What are relevant considerations on the role government could play to resolve differences between carriers and websites? As in questions the first two questions for this case, the carriers have different interests than the websites. This situation is likely to require some resolution between these differences. Governments also have conflicting considerations. On one hand, governments have a responsibility to protect the rights of citizens. On the other hand, governments have a responsibility to regulate commerce. Governments will need to balance these conflicting considerations as they make decisions related to net neutrality.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Identifying Company Strategy with Online Financial Chart Tools One useful way to catch up on a company’s strategy is to check out trends in its stock price, and the net offers many free tools. Go to Google’s finance website (www.google.com/finance) and type the stock ticker symbol for GameStop (GME) into the search bar to pull up current news about the company, including a graph of its share prices.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 3, Information and Communications Technologies: The Enterprise Architecture

2-28. Change the graph to zoom to different periods of time. Do you see any large changes in share price? Check out the news section to see if something happened that might have triggered a change in investors’ sentiments about the company.

The answer to this question will vary based on the date the student performs the search. A screenshot of the search as of February 2023 is shown. This screenshot shows a change in the stock’s prices in 2021, tied to the events described in the case involving an online community’s discussion of stock tips

2-29. One way to get an idea of how well the company is doing is to compare the trend in its share prices to a competitor. Click on Compare at the top of the graph to view Best Buy and GameStop performance on the same graph. How does GameStop’s performance compare in recent years? The answer to this question will vary based on the date the student performs the search. A screenshot of the search as of February 27, 2023, is shown. This screenshot shows that the 2021 events catapulted GameStop’s stock price, while Best Buy’s stock price remained stable.

E-Project 2— Analyzing Media Download Times with Excel

In this e-project, you will obtain and analyze information about download times to assess internet connectivity.

2-30. Download the file called CH02_MediaDownloads. This file shows the approximate file sizes for different kinds of media, along with estimated download times. 2-31. Add a column called Speed Advantage and enter the formula that shows how many times faster the download will be if one uses fast broadband (d2/c2). Copy the formula to the remaining rows, and then add a row at the bottom called “AVERAGE”. On average, how much faster is it to download media files using fast broadband compared to regular broadband? On average, it is 4.85 times faster to download media files using fast broadband compared to regular broadband. See screenshot of completed Excel spreadsheet shown here.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 3, Information and Communications Technologies: The Enterprise Architecture

2-32. Add two more columns called Download Time per MB (Fast Broadband) and Download Time per MB (Regular Broadband). Compute these values by dividing the appropriate download time by the file size in MB, and add the average at the bottom. a.

What is the average download time per MB for fast broadband? The average download time is 1.12 seconds per MB for fast broadband. See screenshot of completed Excel spreadsheet shown here.

For regular broadband? The average download time is 5.43 seconds per MB for fast broadband. See screenshot of completed Excel spreadsheet shown here.

2-33. Download the video file called CH02_TestVideo and time how long it takes. a. What is the file’s size in MB? If the file size is represented in gigabytes (GB), multiply that number by 1,000 to convert to megabytes (MB). The TestVideo file is 2.467 MB.

b. Using the average download times you computed, what should be the download time using fast broadband? What would it be for regular broadband? The download time for fast broadband should be (2.467 MB * 1.12 average) = 2.763 seconds. The download time for regular broadband should be (2.467 MB * 5.43 average) = 13.396 seconds. c. How does your download time compare to these estimates? Do you have fast broadband, regular broadband, or something else? Answers will vary based on where students perform the test download. A download time in the range of 2–3 seconds suggests fast broadband, and a download time in the range of 10–15 seconds suggests regular broadband.

Some input devices may also serve as output devices. Processing devices handle control tasks and manipulate data. The computer’s central processing unit (CPU) is a processing device. Output devices transfer data out of a computer in the form of text, images, sound, or other media. Flat panel monitors, cell phone screens and ebooks are examples of output devices. Storage devices may be temporary or permanent. Random access memory (RAM) is a temporary storage area used by the CPU to execute instructions. Secondary storage devices such as hard drives, flash memory devices, and optical disks preserve information for retrieval. 39 ..

What is the meaning and significance of Moore’s Law? Moore’s Law predicts that the number of transistors fitting on a computer chip will double every one and a half to two years. This prediction about density also captures advances in processing speed, storage capabilities, cost, and other component features. Processing power and speed and storage capabilities have increased exponentially as the cost of computing devices has decreased.

3-3.

What are the two major types of software and how do they differ? Give an example of each. Application software supports business processes, personal productivity, and entertainment. An Oracle or Access database is an example of application software. System software controls basic operations such as file management, disk storage, hardware interfaces and integration with application software. Software in this category includes operating system software utilities. Windows 10 is an example of operating system software, and Windows Defender is an example of utility software.

3-4.

What are the different strategies for creating and deploying software? There are two strategies for creating and developing software. Commercial offthe-shelf software solutions are ready-made and available for licensing or sale to the general public. Custom software development describes how an organization works with developers to build software tailored specifically to its needs.

3-5.

What are the major types of wired and wireless transmission media? What are the strengths, weaknesses, and potential of each? The three major wired media are twisted pair wire, coaxial cable, and optical fiber. Twisted pair wired media that carry ordinary telephone signals are somewhat fragile and susceptible to interference, although they are flexible and relatively easy to install. Coaxial cable wired media that carry television signals are thicker and sturdier than twisted pair. Optical fiber cables that provide high bandwidth capabilities and carry signals over very long distances are proving to be extremely durable. Wireless media transmit digital information by means of electromagnetic waves. The range of transmission for wireless media varies from a very short distance of several feet for Bluetooth devices, up to five miles for cell phone signals and 40 miles for line-of-sight microwave signals.

3-6.

What is packet switching, and what are its advantages for networks?

40 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 4, Databases and Data Warehouses

Packet switching is a technology used by networks in which data is broken into segments, called packets, for transmission. The packets contain information about their destination and position in the whole message, and they are reassembled at the receiving end. Packet switching is quite flexible, and it makes networks far more survivable against natural or manmade disasters. 3-7.

What is a network protocol? What are the roles of Ethernet, TCP/IP, and wireless protocols? Networking protocols and the tasks they perform ensure connections work smoothly between the sender and the recipient. Network protocols determine how connection issues are resolved between devices. Ethernet is the protocol widely used for local area networks. TCP/IP is the suite of protocols used for internet communications that connect Ethernet and other networks together. Wireless protocols determine how the electromagnetic spectrum is used to transmit data. The 802.11 family of standards is used for wifi connections.

3-8.

What is an enterprise architecture and what is its role in an organization? The enterprise architecture is the big picture for the organization, the blueprint of hardware, software, and networks that describes the current environment and the target environment the organization hopes to reach to achieve its mission. The enterprise architecture includes information and computer technology (ICT) assets as well as the people, technology, processes, and data that make up the information systems. The enterprise architecture should be strongly driven by business requirements and the organization’s mission.

3-9.

How have ICT architectures changed over time as new technologies have emerged? The ICT component of the enterprise architecture changes over time as new technologies emerge and businesses build more effective and efficient processes to achieve their mission. Enterprise architectures have evolved from mainframe environments to client-server architectures. Additional changes include virtualization, integration of voice and data, and cloud computing.

3-10. What is cloud computing? How does it support business objectives? Cloud computing moves IT resources out of the corporation’s own data centers or desktops, and into the “cloud”—a term that describes the internet. The concept encompasses many different styles and technology and generally involves leasing IT resources from vendors rather than building corporate data centers and installing software locally. 41 ..

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 3-11. Smartphones captured the imagination of billions of people, becoming a technology with one of the fastest growth rates in history. Choose a smartphone model and describe its hardware components (input, processing, storage, output), its operating system, and examples of its application software. At a minimum, students should be able to list and describe the input components including the touchscreen, virtual keyboard, front and rear-facing cameras, and microphone. Output components include the speaker and the touchscreen. Answers will vary regarding the processing component depending on the smartphone model chosen. Students are expected to search the internet for this information. 3-12. When the “StudentNet” wireless internet signal did not appear on the list of nearby connections (Figure 3.18), Becca Wells used the “garage” network to check her email. What issues should Becca have considered before connecting to that unknown network? For example, is it ethical to connect through someone else’s service without permission, even if they didn't password protect the access point? What security issues should she be concerned about? Search the web to learn more about “wardriving” and prepare a brief summary of your findings. Students should acknowledge that wardriving may involve both ethical issues and security issues and explain their perspective on these issues. Students may also note that “wardriving” also has implications for the manner in which users should protect their wireless networks from the activities of “wardrivers”. 3-13. Decades ago, analysts predicted the death of mainframe computers. However, many public and private enterprises throughout the world rely on rely on the mainframe as the backbone of large-scale computing. For example, the US Census Bureau uses mainframe computers to process data about the nation’s people and economy. On the other hand, many of today’s data centers run on racks of PC servers or large-scale PC server farms. How are mainframe computers different from PCs? How are they similar? Search the web or visit websites such as ibm.com to learn more about how mainframes support an IT infrastructure. List and discuss the major uses of mainframe systems. Answers will vary, as the object of this question is to prompt students to explore the differences and similarities of mainframes and PCs. They are similar in that both have processors, storage, memory, operating systems, and displays. They are different in the number of users and the volume of transactions they support, and cost.

3-14. When an organization adopts a cloud computing model for its missioncritical data, several new ingredients that may be unfamiliar to the organization’s leadership are introduced: a. Leasing IT resources b. Depending on a third party to store data c. Depending on a third party to provide services List the positive and negative results of these factors as they affect organizations that adopt cloud computing. Outline several reasons why a company might decide to use cloud computing. Answers will vary but may be expected to mention scalability, reduced capital expense, and purported cost savings, as well as ownership issues, and privacy and security issues. 3-15. Consider the many types of computer input devices available today. Identify two general categories of input devices and provide several examples of each. List and describe several input devices that also serve as output devices. List several input/output devices often used by students. Which are their favorites? Why? Which are their least favorites? Why? Two general categories of input devices are (1) those that require human input and (2) those that do not. Keyboards and touchscreens are examples of devices that require human input, and scanners and sensors are examples of devices that do not. Digital cameras and touchscreens function as both input and output devices. 3-16. Why are there different programming languages? What is the fundamental difference between Java and .NET? Search the web to learn the origin of the name COBOL. How is COBOL used today? How strong is the case that “COBOL is dead”? Why or why not? Programming languages are artificial languages that provide the instructions to the computer about accepting information, processing it, and providing output. Different programming languages have evolved to meet the needs of a wide range of data and information processing needs. Microsoft’s .NET is widely used in companies that operate Windows servers and other Microsoft products because it provides a library of “canned code” that solves common problems. On the other hand, it offers developers a way to create software for any platform. COBOL stands for common business-oriented language. Billions of lines of COBOL are used today in companies that operate mainframe systems running business applications such as data entry and data processing. 43 ..

3-17. Jackson Real Estate is relocating to new office space and owner Bellamy Jackson must decide whether to assign mobile phones to each of her 35 onthe-go agents so they can access the company's software when they are out visiting properties. Consider the cost, security, and mobility issues of this decision and make a recommendation. Students will have different answers, but they should understand the differences between wired and wireless networks in terms of security, mobility, and cost. 3-18. Work in a small group with classmates to compare three office productivity applications: commercial off-the-shelf software products, such as Microsoft Office; software as a service, such as Google Docs; and open source suites, such as Open Office (openoffice.org) or Libre Office (libreoffice.org). What are the benefits, costs, and risks of each type of application? Discuss why a small business or nonprofit organization might prefer one application instead of another. Answers may vary, as the question is designed to require the student to integrate concepts and information introduced throughout this chapter. At a minimum, students should be able to list several features and the functionality for each application. One point that could be discussed is the “total cost of ownership” for office productivity applications that includes technical support and training as well as upgrades and maintenance. 3-19. Work in a small group with classmates to explain the effects of Moore’s Law on information and communications technology. What is the impact of Moore’s Law on your life? Prepare a five-minute presentation on your findings. After this discussion, students should have a better understanding of Moore’s Law that describes a historical trend in transistor technology. Moore’s Law explains why the price of everything electronic continues to decline as product capabilities continue to increase; why technology gets more powerful yet smaller. Moore’s Law explains why we have smaller, more powerful information and communication technology for less and less money. 3-20. Work in a small group with classmates to consider the differences between commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) and custom software. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of software? Why would a company decide to develop their own software rather than use COTS? Investigate the student information system used by your college or university to learn whether the software was custom developed or purchased. After this discussion, students should have a better understanding of software development and deployment strategies. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software is ready made and available for licensing or sale to the general public, 44 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 4, Databases and Data Warehouses

whereas custom software is built to meet the organization’s specific needs. The discussion could include information on software as a service and open source software.

Solutions to Application Exercises 3-21. Excel Application: Analyzing Growth in Computer Storage Capacities Since the computer hard drive was invented in 1956, a constantly increasing data storage capacity has been available at an ever-decreasing cost. Use the historical data of hard drive capacities and prices shown in Figure 3.30 (or download the Excel file named CH03Ex01). Modify the spreadsheet so that it includes a new column containing formulas that calculate a common measure of disk size (GB) and a second new column that computes the cost per GB for each year. (Recall that 1 terabyte = 1,024 gigabytes, so to fill out the GB column, multiply column B by 1024 when the unit changes to TB.) Now, create one line graph to show the price per gigabyte from the period 1995 to 2019. (Tip: Use the “Hide” function to cover the columns you don’t need for each graph.) Write a brief summary of the trends you found. What factors have contributed to these trends? What are the implications of these trends? Students should download the Excel file named Ch03Ex01, convert disk size to a common measure (Size in GB), and use a formula to calculate price (Price per GB). To create the line chart, plot Price per GB by Year (1995-2019). The chart illustrates the decline in price for data storage devices during this time period. Refer to Ch03Ex01_solution file.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1— Dropbox and the Personal Cloud 3-23. What features do personal clouds offer that make them useful to teams? Personal clouds allow teams to store files in a secure location so that all team members may access them from many different devices. Files stored in the cloud can be accessed and shared there, but also downloaded to team member’s local devices and edited offline. When a connection to the internet becomes available, Dropbox automatically syncs the cloud files to any local files that were changed. If two different people change the same file, Dropbox creates two copies to alert the team. This capability eliminates cumbersome emailing of files back and forth during coauthoring. 3-24. Why did Drew Houston choose to emphasize the business value of Dropbox? Houston saw the business value of Dropbox to be more lucrative than catering to individual users. He expanded the product to Dropbox Business to promote enterprise-wide licensing, both to improve collaboration and to help companies ward off the chaos that happens when employees go off on their own using different products. Houston tries to protect his market share by making agreements with thousands of other companies whose products can then be integrated with Dropbox Business. 3-25. What are the advantages of offering a subscription model that starts as a free service? The initial free service is a big draw for individual users. As their utilization exceeds the maximum free storage, heavy users begin paying for more storage. The free entry allows individuals to become familiar and comfortable with the service with the expectation that those who find it regularly useful will need and have a desire for more storage at a fee. 3-26. What challenges lie ahead for Dropbox? As Dropbox was a leader in the field, their initial ideas and energy may grow stale with a lack of clarity about the products’ future features. As a first mover, Houston gained many advantages for Dropbox, but now the company must compete in a more mature and crowded space with powerful competitors

Case 2—The Race to 5G 3-27. How does 5G differ from 4G LTE? 5G technology relies on different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in which the wavelengths are shorter compared to the ones used by 4G and earlier wireless protocols. The fastest versions of 5G can support transmissions at least 100 times faster, with response times less than one-tenth of what 4G is capable of. 3-28. What kind of physical infrastructure is needed for the fastest version of 5G? While 4G devices transmit signals to antennae placed on 200-foot-tall cell towers, the fastest 5G devices need a different infrastructure, one that requires many more backpack-sized “small cells” that must be placed much closer together – an average distance of 500 feet apart. Because they are so short, mm waves can’t travel long distances across terrain that might be interrupted by buildings, forests, or other obstructions. 3-29. What kinds of obstacles are companies encountering in developing the infrastructure needed for high-band 5G? Companies encounter roadblocks from local governments for the installation of each small cell required to transmit 5G signals. It takes just a couple of hours to install one of these devices on a utility pole or on a sidewalk. But local officials might take one or two years to review and approve the application, citing the need to examine environmental impacts and other matters. The Federal Communications Committee hopes to alleviate those hurdles by limiting the fees charged, and also encouraging county officials to issue rulings more quickly. The US government is also holding more auctions to free up additional spectrum that is hoped will speed up 5G deployments. 3-30. Describe some of the new opportunities and applications that 5G will support. Most expect that 5G will offer phenomenal opportunities for innovations and economic growth. For the United States alone, experts predict 5G will help create 3,000,000 new jobs and $500 billion in new economic growth. Given how dramatically 4G triggered innovation, with its support for the app economy, the Internet of Things, and much more, those predictions may not be out of line. Fully autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, and other previously impossible services and applications become possible with faster networks and lower latencies.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Voluntary Distributed Computing The voluntary distributed computing architecture model relies on the participation of millions of people who offer some spare computer time in exchange for an interesting screen saver and, of course, the good feeling that comes with contributing to a worthy goal. The University of California at Berkeley hosts BOINC, which lists projects that need volunteers (http://boinc.berkeley.edu). 3-31. Visit several BOINC project sites and examine the ways in which the project leaders are engaging volunteers and sustaining commitment. What strategies are they using and how well do they appear to be working? Answers to this question will depend in part on the BOINC projects selected by the students. To provide an example, the Einstein@home project (https://einsteinathome.org/) uses several methods to engage volunteers and sustain commitment, including: • • •

Public recognition of user contributions, including a “User of the Day” (see picture), and references to users in news items and discoveries Clear project description to attract new contributors and motivate existing contributors Frequent news updates to demonstrate a sense of progress

Depending on the project, some potential measures of whether engagement strategies are working could be: • •

Overall project progress and recent breakthroughs Number of existing and new contributors

3-32. Trust is a significant element for voluntary distributed computing, especially because users are warned about the dangers of downloading executable programs to their computers from unknown sources. Pick two BOINC projects, compare their privacy policies, and look for other ways in which they attempt to convince potential participants that their computer will not be harmed and their privacy will not be violated. How do the two projects compare? Answers to this question will depend in part on the BOINC projects selected by the students. To provide an example, the SETI@home project privacy policy includes protections such as:

49 ..

• • • •

Allow users to select a name that will not reveal their identity. Does not reveal domain name or network location of computer. Allow users to opt out of email updates. Encourage users to filter out unwanted messages sent from other users.

The Einstein@Home project also encourages users to pick a name that doesn’t reveal the user’s identity, and assures users that nothing about the user’s location, such as its domain name or network address, will be shown on the website. Users must provide an email address, and Einstein@Home will send newsletters. However, users can opt out of such messages. Both projects warn users that any time a program is downloaded from the internet, the user is taking a chance. The program might have errors, or the project itself might have been hacked. They also warn that the software might cause some computers to overheat, and recommend using a utility program that limits CPU usage. They also assume no liability for damage to the user’s computer or loss of data. These warnings may make some users more likely to avoid participation, but others will appreciate the frankness. Many BOINC projects use the same or similar wording in their privacy policies, and also provide the same warnings. E-Project 2—Analyzing Costs for Software as a Service (SaaS) Companies that offer software as a service can be difficult to compare because their fees are presented differently. In this project, you’ll compare the total annual costs for four vendors who want you to use their software for your own company of 10 employees, including yourself. Assume that any of the four cloud-computing products would work well for your company, so the main issue is cost. • Company A charges $25 per month per employee, which includes technical support. • Company B charges $30 per month per employee, but there is no charge for the head of the company (you) so you only need nine licenses. Technical support is included. • Company C charges $290 per year per employee. Technical support is included. • Company D charges $3500 per year for a license that covers any number of employees up to 15. Technical support is extra – $500 per year for the whole company. Use Excel to create five columns, and use the tips in this table to do the computations and draw conclusions:

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 4-1.

What are the three categories that describe the nature of information resources? Give an example of each. How do you characterize the relationships within each category of information? Information may be categorized as structured, unstructured, or semistructured. Structured information can be broken down into component parts and organized into hierarchies. Credit card account information is structured information. On the other hand, unstructured information is difficult to break down, categorize, organize, and query. Information relating to a lawsuit that includes letters, emails, business cards, post-it notes, meeting minutes, and phone calls is unstructured information. Semistructured information is a gray area that exists between the extremes of structured and unstructured information. This can include information that has at least some structure, such as web pages and documents, all of which have creation dates, titles, and authors (i.e., document properties). The relationships in structured information are relatively easy to identify. With unstructured information, there is no way to link items together except perhaps in physical form. Semistructured information may be easier to query and aggregate compared to unstructured information.

4-2.

What is metadata? What does metadata describe for structured information? For unstructured information? Give an example of each type of metadata. Metadata refers to data about data, and clarifies the nature of pieces of information. For structured information, metadata describes the details of the structure. For example, database metadata refers to the definitions of each of the fields and tables, and their relationships. For semistructured and structured information, metadata is used to describe properties of a document or other resources such as the title, author, creation date, and keywords entered into the document’s property fields.

4-3.

What are the characteristics of information that affect quality? What are examples of each? The characteristics of information that affect quality are accuracy, precision, completeness, consistency, timeliness, bias, and duplication. Accurate information describes correct amounts, dates, spelling, descriptions, or other values. Precise 56 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 5, Information Systems for the Enterprise

information describes numbers that are not rounded, and complete information includes all values that are required. Consistent information does not differ across different reports. Timeliness describes up-to-date information. Unbiased information is objective information, and unique information, such as customer name and account number, describes information that is not duplicated. 4-4.

What were the early designs approaches to managing information resources? Lateral filing cabinets were invented in 1898, giving users the ability to store documents in vertical folders.

4-5.

What are the major disadvantages of file processing systems? What are four specific problems associated with file processing systems? The major disadvantages of file processing systems are problems with reduced quality of information and difficulty in information retrieval. The four specific problems associated with file processing systems are: (1) data redundancy and inconsistency, (2) lack of data integration, (3) inconsistent data definitions, and (4) data dependence.

4-6.

What information should a data definition contain? What data definition would be appropriate for the field intended to capture date of birth? A data definition specifies the characteristics of a field, such as the type of data it will hold or the maximum number of characters it can contain. A data definition that would be appropriate for date of birth would be Short Date.

4-7.

What are the steps in planning a relational data model? Are there benefits to the planning stage? The steps in planning a relational data model include (1) identifying what kind of information to track and determining how the information is related, (2) identifying the primary key for each field, and (3) normalizing the data model to minimize duplication.

4-8.

What are primary keys and foreign keys? How are they used to create links between tables in a relational database?

57 ..

A primary key is the unique identifier for each record in a table. A foreign key is a primary key that appears as an attribute in a different table. A foreign key in one table is linked to a primary key in another table to create the relationship between the two tables. 4-9.

What is the typical strategy to access a database? How do users access an Access database? Are there other strategies to access database systems? Organizations typically develop or purchase applications that present user-friendly interfaces that enable users to enter, edit, delete, and retrieve data. An example is Microsoft® Access that allows users to create a variety of forms and reports to access an Access database. Another strategy to access a database is to use a web-based application that allows access using any web browser.

4-10.

What is the role of the database administrator in managing the database? What is the career outlook for this job? The database administrator (DBA) is responsible for monitoring and optimizing database performance, troubleshooting bottlenecks, setting up new databases, enhancing security, planning capacity requirements, designing backup and disaster recovery plans, and working with department heads and the IT team to resolve problems and build innovative applications. The career outlook for this job is promising. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job of DBA is one of the fastest growing careers in the United States and earnings are some of the highest in the industry.

4-11.

What is SQL? How is it used to query a database? SQL is an acronym for structured query language. SQL uses the concept of join to link tables together based on common attributes. It is easy to use for simple queries and allows complex queries and sub-queries that insert or edit data and make other tables based on the results of a query.

4-12.

What is IVR? How is it used to query a database? IVR is an acronym for interactive voice response. IVR uses signals transmitted from a telephone to access a database, retrieve information, and enter data. Callers can make selections from menus, enter numbers, and confirm transactions.

4-13.

What is a data warehouse? What are the three steps in building a data warehouse? A data warehouse is a central data repository, drawn from multiple sources that can be used for analysis, intelligence gathering, and strategic planning. A data mart is a smaller 58 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 5, Information Systems for the Enterprise

data repository that is developed typically for departmental analytical tasks. Three steps in building a data warehouse are extraction, transformation, and loading. 4-14.

What are examples of internal sources of data for a data warehouse? What are examples of external sources of data for a data warehouse? Operational data from the company’s own systems is a critical source of data for a data warehouse. Operational data may include but is not limited to customer records, transactions, inventory, assets and liabilities, and human resources information going back many years. One example of an external source of data for a data warehouse is US Census Bureau data that lists every US zip code with the median household income for its residents. Another example of an external sources of data is a custom data extract (e.g., consumer data, automotive data, business data, property data), that may be purchased from a commercial data vendor.

4-15.

What is a NoSQL database and what advantages does it offer? NoSQL is a database management system suited for storing and analyzing big data. NoSQL stands for “not only SQL.” These don’t require fixed schemas with clear data definitions for each attribute. They also don’t generally enforce strict rules about data entry or integrity the way a relational database does. Due to volume, data storage is distributed across many servers, often geographically quite far apart.

What is big data? What are the defining features of big data? Big data refers to enormous collections of data that are so fast to accumulate that they are difficult to store and analyze using traditional database methodologies. The defining features of big data are volume, velocity, and variety.

4-17.

What are distributed databases and why are they needed? How does blockchain work and what are its benefits? A distributed database is a type of architecture in which all or portions of the database are located on separate servers to distribute the loads and improve performance. A distributed database may involve many servers so that large numbers of customers, suppliers, and staff members can access the information they need in a timely way. Blockchain is a type of open, distributed ledger in which individual records, called “blocks,” contain a time stamp and reference links to previous transactions to prevent

59 ..

tampering and ensure transparency; public blockchains, such as the one used for bitcoins, operate on a peer-to-peer network with no central control. 4-18.

What is a shadow system? Why are shadow systems sometimes used in organizations? How are they managed? What are the advantages of shadow systems? What are the disadvantages? A shadow system is a smaller database that duplicates some of the functionality and information maintained in a larger, integrated system. They are used to focus on the specific information needs of an individual user or a department. Shadow systems are managed by the user; they are not managed by the central IT staff. The advantage of a shadow system is that users can control their data and make changes rapidly. Disadvantages include lack of documentation and technical support for the smaller database, as well as a lack of enterprise-wide, integrated data to support strategic planning and executive decision-making.

4-19.

What is master data management? What is a data steward? What is the role of master data management in an organization’s integration strategy? Master data management (MDM) refers to a data integration strategy in which consistent and uniform data definitions are applied to entities and their attributes across all business units and processes, at least as much as possible. A data steward is an individual whose role involves ensuring that people adhere to the definitions for the master plan in their organizational unit. MDM serves to involve people, processes, and governance in an effort to resolve a fragmented and inconsistent data management environment.

4-20.

What are examples of databases without organizational boundaries? Organizations exchange information across boundaries for managing supply chains and customer relationships, compliance activities, and providing emergency disaster relief.

4-21.

How do information management needs differ among stakeholder groups? Top-level managers need clear, consistent, accurate reports that summarize information from across the enterprise. Operating units rely on accurate reports on transactions; they require information systems that can be changed quickly to adapt to operational requirements. Customers want simpler user interfaces that work quickly and reliably. Government agencies want enterprises to provide aggregate reports using the government’s definitions of terms. It is a challenge for organizations to balance the different needs of the stakeholders.

Why is metadata becoming increasingly important in this age of digital information? What types of metadata would you expect to see attached to these information resources?

a. b. c. d.

Book Digital photograph MP3 file Zappos.com web page for men’s athletic shoes

Although answers will vary, it should be clear that the student understands the concept of metadata. The metadata for a book will include the title, author, subject, genre, keywords, and format. The metadata for a digital photograph will include the caption, keywords, credits, and the date it was taken, as well as technical information such as shutter speed and focal length, MP3 files has metadata such as title, artist, genre, and track number. A web page for athletic shoes will have metadata that includes title, creator, publisher, and format.

4-23. The concept of relationships is fundamental to relational database design. Briefly describe three relationships that explain how records in a database might be logically related to one another. What are examples of each type of relationship? At your university, what is the relationship between students and courses? What is the relationship between advisors and students? An example of a one-to-one relationship is that each person has one and only one birth date. An example of a one-to-many relationship is that a person may have one or more employees reporting to him or her. An example of a many-to-many relationship may involve a situation in which a person is working on any number of projects, each of which might have any number of employees assigned to it. The relationship between students and courses is many-to-many. The relationship between advisors and students may be one advisor to many students or many advisors to many students if students have a major advisor as well as a minor advisor. 4-24. Target marketing uses databases and data warehouses to identify potential customers that a business wants to reach based on factors that describe a specific group of people. For example, target markets may be identified by geographic area, by age group, by gender, or by all three factors at one time. One of the leading providers of business and consumer information is dataaxleusa.com. Visit “About US” and other pages on its website to learn about their information sources, and how busineses might use them. Prepare a brief summary of your findings.

61 ..

Formerly named infoUSA.com, the Data Axle USA service draws information from a variety of sources, including new business filings, daily utility connections, press releases, and annual reports (https://www.dataaxleusa.com/lists/business-lists. Data sources are updated frequently, and marketrs can target different types of businesses as well as consumers using a variety of filters. Businesses can be targeted according to characteristics such as number of employees, sales vo,ume, and credit rating. Individual consumers can be targeted according to a wide variety of characteristics, such as ZIP code, age, income, marital status, hobbies, religion, and others (https://www.dataaxleusa.com/marketing/how-to-market/)

List several stakeholders at each of these organizations and describe the kind of information each stakeholder needs. a. A university b. A regional bank c. Toyota Motor Corporation Stakeholders of a state university include but are not limited to current students, faculty, and staff, as well as prospective students, alumni, and donors. Stakeholders at a regional bank include employees, shareholders, customers, business partners, suppliers, and government entities. Toyota Motor Corporation will have stakeholders similar to those of a bank. Answers will vary regarding the kind of information each stakeholder needs but may include clear, consistent, and accurate reports that summarize information, and accurate reports of transactions. 4-26.

The idea of data warehousing dates back to the 1980s. Today, data warehousing is a global market worth billions of dollars. What is the relationship between operational databases and data warehouses? Why are data warehouses created, and how do organizations use them? What types of decisions do data warehouses support?

Operational databases are used to manage the ongoing daily activities of firms. Data warehouses are used for historical analysis and special projects. Data warehouses support strategic decisions for firms. Answers to the remaining sections of this question will vary based on the student’s experience and home state. 4-27. A catering company has a problem with unstructured data. As the business grows, the owners want to analyze contracts to learn if overbudget projects result from using inexperienced project managers. They want to set up a database, and they asked you to identify the records that are needed. Work in a small group with classmates to identify three entities that have meaning for thed catering business. What would you choose for the attributes of these entities? What are probable data 62 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 5, Information Systems for the Enterprise

definitions of the attributess? Prepare a five-minute presentation of your recommendations.

Answers will vary. Three entities that may have meaning for her catering business are clients, suppliers, and employees. Expected attributes of clients include name, address, phone number, function date, function type, and number of guests. Expected attributes of suppliers include company name, contact name, phone number, and address. Expected attributes of employees include name, address, phone number, pay rate, and social security number. Probably data definitions include text, integer, yes/no, and date/time. 4-28. The Drexel Theatre is a small, family-owned cinema that screens independent and classic films. The theatre has a collection of 5,000 movies on DVD. The owner has asked you to develop the data model for managing the film inventory, which should track movie titles, genres (categories), actors, and languages. Work in a small group with classmates to prepare a fiveminute presentation that includes an explanation of the entities, attributes, primary keys, and foreign keys for your data model. In general, most student teams should conceptualize a database with four tables. The first table will be for movies, the second table will be for categories, the third table will be for actors, and the fourth table will be for languages. Most movies will belong to one category and have one language (there may be some exceptions where a movie can belong to multiple categories and be dubbed in multiple languages). Most movies will have multiple leading actors. A category can apply to multiple movies, a language can apply to multiple movies, and an actor can appear in multiple movies. In this table, a primary key in the movies table (MovieID) will uniquely identify each movie, a primary key in the category table (CategoryID) will uniquely identify each category, a primary key in the actor table (ActorID) will uniquely identify each actor, and a primary key in the language table (LanguageID) will uniquely identify each language. Note that the CategoryID, ActorID and LanguageID fields will all be foreign keys in the movie table. The movie table will link to the category table through the CategoryID field, to the actor table through the ActorID field, and to the language table through the LanguageID field.

Solutions to Application Exercises 4-29. Excel Application: Managing Catering Supplies

63 ..

A catering manager developed the spreadsheet shown in Figure 4.28 to better manage the inventory of disposable catering supplies. Download the spreadsheet named Ch04Ex01 so you can help with the inventory analysis. The manager listed inventory items in “Case” quantities, but now wants to analyze items according to “Pack” quantities and create a price list to show to customers. For example, a case of Heavy Duty Deluxe Disposable Plastic Knives has 12 packs of 24 knives each. The manager wants to calculate a “Sales Price per Pack” based on cost plus a 25 percent markup. The case costs $13.61, so a pack costs $13.61/12 or $1.13. Adding a 25 percent markup gives a final sales price per pack of $1.42. The manager asks that you complete the following operations and answer the following questions.

•

Create columns that list Case Pack, Packs on Hand, and Cost per Case Pack for each item. Use a formula to calculate the Cost per Case Pack. Create a column that lists Sales Price per Pack. Use a formula to calculate a 25 percent markup. Set up an assumption cell to input the percentage markup rather than include the markup value in the formula. Format the spreadsheet to make it easy to read and visually appealing.

What is the manager’s total investment in disposable catering supplies?

What is the total sales value of the inventory?

How much profit will the company make if all of the inventory sells at a 25 percent markup?

How much profit will the company make if the markup is 35% instead of 25%?

•

Students should add five columns, transform information provided in the Unit column to information in the Case Pack column, and use formulas to calculate Packs on Hand, Cost per Case Pack, Sales Price per Pack, and Total Cost. Students should add sum functions to answer the questions, “What is the manager’s total investment in disposable catering supplies?” and “What is the total sales value of the inventory?” and use a formula to calculate profit. To answer the question, “How much profit will the company make if the markup is 35% instead of 25%?” go to the cell containing 25 [Markup] and change it to 35; the formula would then recalculate the Value and Profit amounts. The completed spreadsheet is shown. Refer to the Ch04EX01_solution file.

4-30. Access Application: DD-Designs

Devon Degosta set up an Access database to manage her web design business. She has asked you to create a report that summarizes and identifies projects that are assigned to more than one employee. Recreate the Access database with the table names, attributes, and relationships as illustrated in Figure 4.29. Download and use the information in the spreadsheet Ch04Ex02 to populate the tables. Create a report that lists each project by name and the names of the employees assigned to it. Devon wants the report to include the client name and the project budget. What other reports would Devon find useful? Figure 4-29 DD_Designs database schema

65 ..

Students should produce an Access database with five tables by importing data from the Excel file named Ch04Ex02. Students should create a query to summarize project information that includes project number, project name, employees assigned to the project, client name, and project budget. The query is used to produce the Project Report. Answers will vary regarding other reports Dana may find useful. An example is a report that lists each employee, their projects, and project start dates. The Project Report appears here. Refer to the Ch04Ex02_solution file.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1—U.K. Police Track Suspicious Vehicles in Real Time with Cameras and the License Plate Database 4-31. Describe the manner in which data elements are linked across databases. The purpose of this question is to help students understand how data must be integrated across applications and systems. In this case, license plate 67 ..

numbers appear in both databases and can be used to link information from video camera surveillance and from the Police National Computer, which includes data on stolen vehicles, parking fines, and lack of insurance. Data must be consistent and accurate across systems so that U.K. police can perform a valid and timely match of license plate with an offense, and there must not be room for a false arrest (type 1 error) or a missed offense (type 2 error). 4-32. What technical and physical challenges does this information system face? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the relationship between technical operations and physical challenges. Some physical challenges include the readability of the license plate in difficult weather conditions, such as rain, fog, or snow. The numbers and letters on the plates may also be blurred by mud. An additional challenge is the use of fake plates by criminals that duplicate legitimate license plates. Although students may suggest other ideas on future challenges, it is most important to recognize that many technology projects are a work in process and require continual improvement. 4-33. What human capital capabilities for law enforcement are necessary to make the database more effective? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the manner in which business knowledge (or in this case public service knowledge) is combined with IS. Even with the license plate database, police must have the ability to respond rapidly to unplanned alerts. For example, if a police officer is on a regular patrol, the officer must allow flexibility in that routine to respond if he or she receives an unexpected message related to a license plate. Police must also have the ability to process information that may or may not coincide with their visual observations. For example, a police officer may receive an alert about a license plate on a car that would not otherwise raise suspicion, and the officer must be able to process that information and respond in a timely manner. While flexibility and sensing may be part of the normal human capital for police officers, the license plate database further accentuates the need for these characteristics.

4-34. What are the relevant considerations to balance law enforcement’s ability to investigate versus the citizens’ need for privacy? The purpose of this question is to help students balance multiple considerations in the use of a technology. In this case, police officers need timely access to license plate data to identify potential infractions in real time. On the other hand, citizens may not wish to have their location data available, because of the potential for unauthorized use and abuse. To balance these considerations and manage these risks, the police in the

68 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 5, Information Systems for the Enterprise

United Kingdom must establish policies and procedures to safeguard the data, and must educate officers to use the data in an ethical manner.

Case 2—Walmart Deploys Blockchain for Food Safety

4-35. Explain why it often takes weeks or even longer to identify the source of contaminated food.

When an outbreak of foodborne illness occurs, it can take many days or weeks to locate the source and track down which ingredient was responsible. When the culprit is identified, such as an E. coli contamination of a restaurant’s lettuce, tracing the source of that particular batch of lettuce is a daunting task. Meat and fresh produce are sourced from many different locations, and even different countries, and the food travels a winding path through a complicated supply chain before it reaches your dinner plate. 4-36.

Describe the problems a restaurant or grocer faces when consumers suffer from foodborne illness. Outbreaks traced to particular restaurants or grocery stores are financially costly. The restaurant or grocer typically must remove all the lettuce from its shelves, even though just a fraction of it might pose any danger. And consumers remain wary for months afterward, not just of that ingredient, but of the whole chain of stores that sold it.

4-37. How does blockchain technology help improve food safety? Blockchain technology allows for tracking of meat and produce throughout the supply chain with the goal of authenticating and documenting every stop along the chain for each package of food, beginning with the original grower or rancher and extending to each wholesaler and retailer. The source, history, and movement of each package will be transparent to all the parties involved, and transactions cannot be deleted or altered once they are entered. In principle, the source of any contamination should be identified in seconds rather than weeks or months so that the problem can be addressed immediately.

4-38.

Why is transparency in the food supply chain important, and how does blockchain support it? Blockchain technology allows the source, history, and movement of each package to be transparent to all the parties involved, and does not allow for any transactions to be deleted or altered once they are entered. As such, the 69 ..

source of any contamination should be identified in seconds rather than weeks or months so that the problem can be addressed immediately, affecting far fewer consumers.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Identifying Suspects with a License Plate Database: Constructing Queries with Access

An Access database from a hypothetical small island nation contains simulated license plate information and violation records, and it will illustrate how police are identifying cars involved in crimes or traffic offenses. Download the Access file called Ch04_Police.accdb to answer the following questions. 4-39. What are the three tables in the database? For simplicity, the LicensePlates table in this e-project uses LicensePlateNumber for its primary key. Why might that work for a small island nation, but not for the United States? The three tables in the database are Violations, LicensePlates, and PlateImages. The United States has 50 different states. Although within each state, license plate numbers are unique, there are many duplicates across states. The database would need to combine the state code with the license plate number to create a primary key. However, as described in this chapter, autonumbering usually is preferred for primary keys, partly to avoid having to change the value throughout the database. Refer to the Ch04_Police_Solution file. 4-40. Why is PlateImagesID the primary key for the PlateImages table, rather than LicensePlateNumber? PlateImagesID is the primary key because each license plate may be captured more than one time in the PlateImages table. LicensePlateNumber would not be unique in this case. 4-41. A police officer spots a car illegally parked on a dark street, with license plate LCN5339. Query the database and list any crimes or other violations that are linked to this license plate. Students will construct a query to the Violation table with the condition (LicensePlateNumber=LCN5339). License plate LCN5339 is linked to three crimes and violations—running a stoplight on April 24, being uninsured on May 4, and a robbery on May 16.

Which car is the best candidate, and who is the owner? JKR 6902 is the license plate for a blue Toyota owned by Michael Stables at 97 Jackson Road in the East End. This would be the best candidate. 4-43. Letters such as G and C are often confused by eyewitnesses. Some witnesses to a hitand-run accident reported that the license plate started with LGR, but they said they weren’t sure.

The homicide division learned that a vehicle with license plate number DYV4437 was observed near a murder scene, and they would like to speak to the owner, who might be able to shed light on the case. If the cameras have picked up the license plate at some time, it should be in the PlateImages table. Construct a query to retrieve the latitude and longitude of the car’s most recent location. Students will construct a query (include fields of LicensePlateNumber, Date, Time, Latitude, and Longitude) to the PlateImagesTable table with the condition (LicensePlateNumber= DYV4437). This license plate is entered as record 919 in the PlateImages table (2:00:37 AM on 06/01/11, latitude -17.950928, longitude 177.960761).

One step to improve the ability to analyze data by country is to audit and correct the country listing for all customers. An even better solution is to provide a dropdown for countries so that it is only possible to enter valid country names. For this application, it would be efficient to default the country name to United States but allow users to select a different country name as appropriate. A dropdown for state code would also help ensure data integrity.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 5-1.

What are the four major categories of information systems that support business processes common to most organizations? Which basic business functions does each provide? The four major information system categories for operation management are (1) finance and asset management, (2) human capital management, (3) supply chain management, and (4) customer relationship management. Finance and asset management comprises AP, AR, GL, inventory, and procurement. Human capital management comprises personnel management, payroll, benefits, time sheets, talent development, and training programs. Supply chain management comprises SCM software, warehouse management, and transportation management. Customer relationship management comprises contact management, marketing campaign management, email marketing, sales force management, and customer service.

5-2.

What role does a financial and asset management information system serve in an organization? Why is financial reporting important? What are exception reporting and compliance reporting? Why is each important? Financial and asset management information systems are at the heart of an organization, supporting finance-related activities and processes, and reporting on all of the organization’s transactions and assets. Financial reporting is important because companies are held fully accountable for the accuracy and reliability of their financial records. Exception reports help identify events that fall outside of the accepted range. Exception reports automatically tag unusual events that need human eyes to review. For example, exception reports are used to spot fraudulent transactions, including ones committed by employees. Compliance reporting ensures that financial transactions conform to local, national, and international regulations.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 6, Developing a Digital Presence: Websites, Social Media, and Mobile Apps

Supply chain management refers to strategies that optimize the flow of products and services from their source to the customer. The most important metric in supply chain management is demand forecast accuracy (DFA). DFA measures the difference between forecasted and actual demand. Supply chain management software includes several specialized tools and applications used to manage and monitor various activities in the supply chain. Supply chain planning software is used to predict demand, synchronize with supply, and optimize the whole network. Warehouse management software is used to manage and optimize inventories, space allocation, shipments, cross-docking, and other warehouse activities. Transportation management software optimizes shipping, logistics, and fleet routing and scheduling. Manufacturing execution systems manage activities and flow through the manufacturing process. Global trade management software ensures compliance for cross-border transactions for importers and exporters. 5-5.

What is customer relationship management (CRM)? What are the objectives of CRM? How do organizations measure their customer relationship? How do information systems support each objective of CRM? What are three basic categories of CRM technologies? How do information systems support activities in each area? Customer relationship management (CRM) consists of the technologies and processes an organization uses to build relationships with its current and prospective customers. Some common objectives of CRM are improving customer retention, improving profitability, growing revenue, and just listening to customers. Information systems support improved customer retention by providing analysis of customer loyalty that leads to better marketing and increases rate of return. Information systems that provide online selfservice applications and improved customer access to information serve to reduce the cost of serving each customer, thereby improving profitability. Information systems used by marketing and sales departments help companies find new leads, identify marketing segments, manage campaigns, and build the customer base, thereby growing revenue. Information systems such as social networking applications and sentiment analysis systems are used by companies to capture and analyze what customer say. The three basic categories of CRM technology are marketing, sales force automation, and customer service and support. Information systems support marketing activities such as loyalty programs and customized email programs. Sales force automation systems help sales reps track and manage accounts, contacts, and leads. Information systems that support activities in customer service and support inculde online knowledge bases, live online chat, chat bots powered by artificial intelligence, and social networking tools such as Twitter.

Why are ERP systems important to organizations? What are the typical components of an ERP system? What is meant by the term “a suite of suites”? What are three approaches to ERP integration? What are some of the issues associated 85 ..

with an ERP implementation? What is the primary benefit of a successful ERP implementation? ERP systems provide a solid, integration suite of applications that support the core functional requirements for managing the organization’s finances and human resources. The typical components of an ERP system include financial and asset management, human capital management, and may include manufacturing, CRM, and SCM. The term “suite of suites” refers to a cluster of typical applications that comprise an ERP system: financials, human capital management, manufacturing, CRM, SCM, and product life cycle management. The three approaches to ERP integration are an engineered suite, a suite with synchronized modules, and a vendor-branded or best of breed suite. An engineered suite is built from the ground up. A suite with synchronized modules includes vendor-supplied middleware to connect and synchronize systems that may be running on different platforms. A vendor-branded or best of breed suite is made up of weakly integrated separate systems that have been deployed as a suite because each closely matches user requirements. The primary benefits of a successful ERP implementation are standardized and streamlined business processes across the whole enterprise, which eliminate waste and redundancy.

Does your college or university let you sign up to receive emergency alerts on your cell phone? What are the advantages of this system? How does this differ from using mobile devices for marketing purposes? What are the challenges of implementing mobile CRM targeted to customers? Describe several approaches to mobile CRM that are welcomed by customers. What are the advantages to employees of providing them mobile access to CRM? An advantage of a mobile alert system at a university is that it allows the school to reach students, faculty, and staff in a crisis. A challenge to implementing mobile CRM is that people may object to unsolicited targeted messages sent for marketing purposes. However, most universities use an opt-in method for emergency notification systems that transmit text message to cell phones, thus inviting users rather than sending unsolicited messages. Two approaches to mobile CRM that may be welcomed by customers are offering the customer something he or she really wants, and offering an opt-in feature rather than sending unsolicited cell phone calls and text messages to avoid negative reactions. Mobile CRM applications can improve customer service and support and reduce costs.

Solutions to Application Exercises 5-13. Excel Application: Performance Bicycle Parts

The Stevenses own an internet-based bicycle accessories website that sells bicycle tires, tubes, chains, sprockets, and seats as well as helmets and water bottles. The bicycle parts aftermarket is competitive, and they realize that having both a low price and sufficient inventory to offer same-day shipping are critical to his success. They have a global supply chain and relies on many different supplier sources for the quality products his customers demand. The Stevenses sell more replacement tubes than any other product. For this item, customers expect high quality at a competitive price. They spent several months evaluating the quality and performance of six potential suppliers for the most popular replacement tube, the 29" * 1.85"-2.20" presta tube. These suppliers manufacture replacement tubes of comparable quality and performance. With the right price, quality, and availability, They expect to sell an average of 12,000 tubes per month, or 400 tubes per day, for $6.50 each; however, one concern is about the amount of cash or working capital required to support the level of inventory needed to provide same-day shipping. Using the information provided in the Excel file Ch05Ex01 and displayed in Figure 5.23, create a spreadsheet to analyze the replacement tube cost structure for six potential suppliers. Per unit import duty cost equals the import duty rate multiplied by the sum of per unit base cost and the per unit shipping cost. The per unit warehouse cost is the sum of the per unit base cost and the per unit shipping cost and the per unit import duty cost. The per unit total cost is the sum of the per unit warehouse cost and the average per unit carrying cost.

Required inventory levels are based on projected daily sales times the number of shipping days required for delivery from the supplier to their warehouse. A longer delivery time requires them to maintain a higher level of inventory. Thus, they want to include inventory carrying costs in the analysis. They maintain average inventory(units) based on 150 percent of projected daily sales multiplied by the number of shipping days from the supplier. The average inventory value equals the per unit delivered cost multiplied by the average inventory (units). Inventory carrying costs include the cost of putting away stock and moving material within the warehouse, rent and utilities for warehouse space, insurance and taxes. on inventory, and inventory shrinkage. They calculate total inventory carrying costs at 24 percent of the average inventory value. The average per unit carrying cost equals the total inventory carrying cost divided by the total number of units sold per year (144,000). Which supplier source requires the highest investment of working capital or cash for average inventory? Which supplier source provides the Stevenses with the highest percentage of gross profit on the presta replacement tube? India is the supplier source that requires the highest investment of working capital or cash for average inventory (Average Inventory Value). Vietnam is the supplier source that provides the companywith the highest percentage of gross profit on the presta replacement tube. Refer to the Ch05Ex01_Solution file.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1—Salesforce.com: Taking CRM to the Cloud

5-15. Identify one way that in the early years Salesforce.com addressed market confidence in its cloud-based systems. Was this way successful? Why or why not? The purpose of this question is to help students understand how Salesforce.com addressed market confidence challenges. The initial approach offered ‘pay-as-you-go’ subscription pricing. Once customers experienced the value of the offering, it quickly became a ‘must have’ service. This approach was successful and students may offer a number of reasons why. These reasons mainly will focus on the value of the offering and the need of the customers. 5-16. How does Salesforce.com use the IdeaExchange for competitive advantage? What benefits does it provide to the company and its customers? This question asks students to reflect on how the IdeaExchange not only engages its customers but provides a platform for innovations in the services. Students are asked to discuss how this IdeaExchange offers competitive advantages; the answers may vary but the focus is on 91 ..

continuous innovation. The IdeaExchange provides customers with a means of influencing the development of the offering and it provides Salesforce.com with a stream of ideas for innovation. Students may also discuss the feedback provided to customers about their suggestions. 5-17. Explain how office space design in the San Francisco headquarters was changed and why this change is expected to return value to Salesforce.com. This question encourages students to analyze the innovative approach to office design by Salesforce.com and to discuss its value. Answers will vary depending on the student views about ‘mindfulness’ areas. The use of Buddhist monks to recommend design ideas is also an area for discussion and analysis. The effectiveness of the design ideas is not detailed in the study and are left to the students to consider. Focus should be directed to the alignment of these design ideas to promote the overall emphasis on innovation. 5-18. Identify at least two challenges that Salesforce.com faces and explain why these are important challenges to Salesforce.com. The purpose of this question is to have students understand and evaluate the future challenges for Salesforce.com. One area of challenge is the need to constantly upgrade its services and technology while managing expenses to stay competitive. Another area is to ensure that the platform is constantly available for use. Downtime and outages frustrate customers. Security is a critical challenge due to the sensitivity of the data being managed. Continuous monitoring and bolstering of the security and services is required, which increases expenses. The challenge of managing profitability is due to the high expense for sales and marketing as well as technology. Increasing the customer base and revenues is one way to improve profitability. Students should frame their analysis around the continuous growth and innovation mandate of Salesforce.com.

Case 2—Meeting Demands of Global Growth, Netflix Migrates to Integrated ERP

5-19. How did Netflix gain such a large customer base so quickly? What impact did the model have on the DVD rental business?

92 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 6, Developing a Digital Presence: Websites, Social Media, and Mobile Apps

Netflix introduced the monthly subscription model with flat fees and unlimited DVD rentals without due dates, and no late fees or shipping charges. Instead of emphasizing demographics as a means to segment the market, Netflix takes a step further by drawing on big data to create “taste clusters.” The model became wildly popular and eventually drove the brick-andmortar video rental companies out of business. 5-20. How would you describe Netflix’s approach to talent management? Netflix takes some unusual approaches to talent management. Employees are offered freedom and power to make their own decisions about everything from their problem-solving strategies to vacation days. For expenses, for instance, Netflix’s only policy is “act in Netflix’s best interests.” For parental leave, the policy is “take care of your baby and yourself,” and leave days aren’t tracked. Careful recruitment and hiring are essential, and employees that don’t work out receive generous severance packages. 5-21. Why did Netflix not choose an ERP that included all four of the major modules? Netflix enjoys customer relationship and supply chain management systems that are world-class and highly customized to its unique business needs. But its backend financials and human capital management were a complicated mix of 11 different applications with rickety interfaces. Netflix needed a modern ERP with these two modules, especially because the company takes some unusual approaches to talent management. 5-22. How is Netflix benefiting from the Workday implementation? How does Workday benefit from the partnership with Netflix? Workday consolidated Netflix’s 11 separate systems such that Netflix was able to deploy their financial module in just six months. Back-office tasks such as payroll processing, which once took several days—or longer if changes were needed—were drastically improved. The integration with financials meant that journal entries became automated rather than manual, 93 ..

greatly reducing errors. Many of Workday’s capabilities partner well with Netflix’s talent management approach and its global reach into so many countries with different currencies and diverse laws about taxation, employee benefits, and workplace policies. And the partnership worked well for Workday, as well, as Reed Hastings and others at Netflix suggested valuable new features to improve the software. Workday added over 25 new features based on such recommendations, all of which make the products more competitive.

E-Project 2—Evaluating Employment and Recruitment Websites

In this e-project, you will compare the major publicly accessible career management websites and test their capabilities. Founded in 1995, Careerbuilder.com is a widely used online job site and one of its rivals is Monster.com, which pioneered digital recruitment a year earlier. Both companies earn revenue from fees charged to employers for posting jobs and searching through resumes for qualified candidates and also from online advertising.

5-26. Visit each site and check out the “About Us” sections to better understand how the two companies differ. Compare and contrast their vision statements. Based on visits to the websites in 2023, the Careerbuilder.com mission focuses on building a journey to success. The mission statement reads “BUILD PERSONAL SUCCESS FOR ALL. We believe that everybody should be able to build toward a career that gives them a sense of purpose. That’s why, at CareerBuilder, it’s our mission to build personal success for all. We work to provide tools and opportunities to let everybody find meaning and value in their work, no matter their skill, background, or starting point. Because more meaningful matches between people and employers means everybody wins”. Monster.com does not show a vision or mission statement, but their About Us page begins with “We help employers and candidates find the right fit.” Students may also note other differences. Careerbuilder.com emphasizes “making data actionable for everyone” and also touts the company’s length of time in ub this business. Monster claims to be a global leader in connecting people with jobs, and stresses the importance of “fit,” to make the workplace a happier and more productive.

5-27. Imagine you are a hotel manager looking for a job in a major US city of your choice. Compare the positions you find with Monster to those you find with CareerBuilder. Answers will vary based on the city selected by the student. In a search for hotel manager positions in Atlanta during 2023, Careerbuilder.com had far more listings than Monster.com. However, even though “hotel manager” was specified in the search term, both sites included various other positions. Careerbuilder’s listing included positions such as pets hotel associate, room attendant, and line cook. 96 ..

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 6-1.

What are four primary goals an organization might choose to develop its digital presence? What is an example of each? Why are clearly defined goals important for the use of social media? The four primary goals of a digital presence are (1) inform or entertain the audience, (2) influence the audience, (3) sell products and services, and (4) facilitate offline relationships. Examples of each will vary, but the instructor may expect responses related to online magazines and newspaper to inform or entertain, political blogs to influence an audience, e-commerce sites for selling products and services, and customer portals to facilitate relationships. Goals provide social media efforts with defined purposes and focus among other valuable supports.

How is a URL related to a registered website name? Why does a URL include a protocol identifier? What are the components of a website address? What are typical suffixes that identify top-level domains? The URL is a unique global address for a web page or other resource on the internet. The domain name system is responsible for mapping a more memorable URL such as the name “HeritageDogs.org” to the actual IP address. The protocol identifier specifies how the software on one computer will interact with the software on another computer. The most common protocol identifier is http://, which specifies that the resource is a web page containing code a browser can interpret and display. A website address includes the protocol identifier (http://) followed by the actual name of the site (HeritageDogs), which is followed by the top-level domain identifier. Typical suffixes include .com, .org, .gov, and .mil.

What is website architecture? What are examples of website architecture?

101 ..

Website architecture describes the ways to organize information on a website and provide tools to navigate the site. Architecture is important because the organization wants to make it easy for visitors to use the site. The goals of website architecture are to ensure visitors don’t struggle to find what they are looking for and actually complete a transaction. Examples of website architecture are flat, hierarchical, multidimensional, and sequential architectures. A flat architecture is organized with all web pages at the same level and horizontals links between the pages. A hierarchical architecture is organized with a top-level home page that contains links to second level pages, which then contain links to other pages. A multidimensional architecture is a hierarchical structure in which all second-level pages are linked to all top-level pages. A sequential architecture presents web pages in a step-by-step sequence. A flat architecture is simple to implement. A hierarchical architecture works well to organize content relevant to each top-level page, such as building a hierarchy on countries, so visitors on the home page can drill down to services offered in each one. A multidimensional architecture recognizes that information can be categorized in many ways. A sequential architecture is appropriate when the organization wants the visitor to proceed step by step through a transaction, survey, or learning module. 6-4.

What is the difference between usability and accessibility? How do website developers test for usability? How can website design improve accessibility? How do text and background color combinations relate to website accessibility? What are the benefits of designing accessible websites? Usability refers to the ease with which a person can accomplish a goal using some tool, such as a website, a mobile phone, or a kiosk. Accessibility refers to how easily people with disabilities can use the web. Web developers test for usability by asking visitors to perform a sequence of tasks and observing the problems they encounter. Website design techniques can radically alter a site’s accessibility. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) offers links to a variety of software tools that web designers can use to check a site’s accessibility against international standards for accessibility. Certain color combinations for background and text may be unreadable for people with cataracts or one of several types of color blindness. With more than 600 million people with disabilities in the world, accessibility adds strategic benefits in the form of heightened corporate social responsibility and internet visibility. And making the site more accessible also broadens the potential base of customers.

List some software development strategies used for websites. What is an advantage to using basic HTML? How does HTML 5 reduce problems for web developers? What is an advantage to using JavaScript? Why is AJAX used to develop websites? What role does a content management system play in website development? Why do content management systems use templates? Static web pages with simple text and graphics may be developed using hypertext markup language (HTML), or media-rich, interactive websites may be developed using programming languages such as JavaScript and AJAX. An advantage to web pages developed with HTML is that the web page will appear even if there are many mistakes 102 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 7, Business Intelligence and Analytics

in the tags that are used to specify the format. An advantage to using Java is that it adds interactivity to web pages written in HTML. AJAX is a mix of technologies that builds on JavaScript to add instant intelligence drawn from live data to interactive displays. AJAX is the technology used by Google to provide a rapidly changing list of words appear as you enter each letter into the Google search box. Content management systems are especially designed to support website development and maintenance for large teams of people involved in maintaining a site. Content management systems use templates to enforce a consistent look and feel throughout the site. 6-6.

What is e-commerce? What activities does it include? How do online transaction sites use databases and shopping cart software? Why is security critical for ecommerce success? Which protocol supports secure internet transactions? Why is trust critical for e-commerce success? Aside from having a well-known brand name, how do online sellers signal their trustworthiness to potential customers? E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet or other networks. It encompasses financial transactions among businesses, consumers, governments, or nonprofits. Websites whose main goal is selling use databases to create a catalog of products and shopping cart software to track and tally purchases. The success of e-commerce depends on security and the perception people have about its trustworthiness. An e-commerce transaction must be secure from end to end, throughout several steps on different servers that may be geographically distant. The https:// protocol supports secure internet transactions. Trust is critical for e-commerce because buyers need assurance that an organization selling products online is reputable and secure. Organizations can signal trustworthiness to potential customers by displaying a “seal of approval” from one or more independent organizations that audit websites and verify their compliance with minimum trust requirements.

Identify the three primary platforms for digital marketing. Identify which platform uses search engine optimization (SEO). How do organizations improve their position on search result lists?

103 ..

The three primary platforms for digital marketing for an organization are on their website, social media presence, and mobile apps. The website platform uses SEO. Search engine optimization involves strategies to increase the quantity and quality of traffic from search engines, often by improving the site’s position in result lists. One strategy is to choose the most effective key words for the descriptors of the web page. A second strategy is to make the key words more prominent in the meta tags, page headings, and in the content as well. Web marketers launch link-building campaigns to improve their search results, contacting sites that might add a link and making deals to do reciprocal linking. 6-9.

How does web advertising work to target ads for individuals? How does social media marketing influence advertising? How do BLE beacons use mobile advertising? Many websites store cookies on a visitor’s hard drive that enable them to keep track of information such as the date and time, the directory path of web pages visited, and the products a customer places in a shopping cart. When the visitor returns to the website, it retrieves the cookies and uses that information to deliver an ad targeted to that visitor. Social media platforms provide marketers with unprecedented access to data, not just about customers’ search terms or website visits but about their life histories, employment, hobbies, friends, likes and dislikes, and much more. Retailers can place Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons around their stores, which are low-cost, battery-powered devices that broadcast Bluetooth signals to nearby devices.

6-19. Excel Application: Heritage Dogs Website Metrics

The board of directors at Heritage Dogs is meeting to consider how its website is serving the needs of volunteers, donors, and potential adoptive pet owners. The website coordinator has asked you to create an Excel spreadsheet to help them analyze quarterly data for several key indicators including percentage of repeat visitors, page views per visit, and bounce rate. The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who view only one page. Together, these are a measure of website “stickiness”— the ability to keep visitors interested and coming back for more. Additionally, she wants two line charts that display website usage statistics. Download the Excel file Ch06Ex02 (Figure 6.21), and add calculations for Total Visitors, Percentage Repeat Visitors, Page Views per Visit, and Bounce Rate. Bounce Rate can be calculated as Single Page Views divided by Visits.

The Springfield Animal Shelter manages a volunteer foster program in which volunteers care for sick and immature animals in their homes and take in injured or 109 ..

abused animals when the shelter facility is full. Animals may be in foster care for a few weeks or a few months, depending on the need. When the animal is healthy and ready to be adopted, the shelter will post its picture and story on the website. Foster parents are given first choice to adopt the animal but are not required to do so. Volunteers enroll in the program on the shelter website, and the information they provide is stored in an Access database. Download the Springfield Animal Shelter database named Ch06Ex03 and create three detail reports for the shelter manager. A detail report displays all information for each volunteer. The first report will list all active volunteers who specified they wish to care for a cat. The second report will list all active volunteers who wish to care for a dog. The third report will list all inactive volunteers regardless of animal preference. Review the information being collected about volunteers and suggest other types of information that may be useful to the shelter manager. Students should download the Access database named Ch06Ex03. Students should create a query to identify active volunteers who specified they wish to care for a cat. A similar query will identify active volunteers who specified they wish to care for a dog. A third query will identify all the inactive volunteers regardless of animal preference. The queries are used to create the detailed reports. Answers will vary regarding other types of information that may be useful to the shelter manager. Suggestions may include additional information on volunteers such as home address and preference for caring for young, injured, or abused animals.

Solutions to Case Study Questions 110 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 7, Business Intelligence and Analytics

Case 1—Mobile Payments

6-21.

What are the potential benefits of mobile payment technology for consumers? What are the potential benefits for retailers?

The purpose of this question is to consider the benefits of IS for various stakeholders. In this case, consumers would benefit from the convenience of mobile phone payment technology. Consumers would no longer need to carry an assortment of credit cards, coupons, and reward cards. Retailers may benefit from increased business through mobile phone payment technology. If a consumer had their phone with them, the consumer would always be able to make a purchase even if they did not have cash or the appropriate credit card on hand. From a psychology perspective, it may feel easier for a consumer to make a payment by waving their phone, which may increase consumer willingness to make purchases. Retailers might also lose some revenue as customers make more efficient use of their coupons and loyalty points. 6-22. What are the risks for consumers and retailers? What are some ways that these risks could be overcome? The benefits of this technology must be weighed against the risks, and organizations must identify ways to manage the risks. In this case, one risk is that because monetary value is accessed through the mobile phone, a lost or stolen mobile phone could result in a large loss. Consumers would suffer the inconvenience of needing to cancel financial information on the previous phone and reload financial information onto a new phone. If consumers are indemnified from financial loss for unauthorized use (as they are for credit cards), the risk of loss could be shared between the retailer and the credit card company, which would reduce some of their benefits from the technology. One way to manage this risk would be to require a PIN code along with the tap of a cell phone. Another way to manage the risk would be to have a mechanism where cell phones can be quickly turned off if reported lost or stolen. Biometric security checks are also becoming more widespread on mobile devices. 6-23. How could this technology affect the telecommunications and consumer banking industries? 111 ..

Although it is difficult to fully predict future industry changes, the purpose of this question is to help students reflect on the manner in which technology innovation can reshape entire industries. For the telecommunications industry, mobile phone banking may be an additional source of revenue in at least two ways. First, consumers may need to upgrade their handsets to participate in mobile phone payments. Second, telecommunications companies may be able to charge consumers for mobile phone payment services. For the consumer banking industry, mobile phone payments provide the potential to reduce costs through more automated transactions (fewer checks and fewer ATM withdrawals). At the same time, it will still be necessary for the consumer banking industry to provide payment infrastructure and processes.

6-24. Do you predict mobile payments will become dominant in the United States? Why or why not? Student answers to this question will vary based on individual perspective. The purpose of this question is to help students consider differences across countries. The digital wallet has progressed slowly in the United States, partly because credit cards are so widespread and trusted. Consumers can dispute credit card charges after the fact, and the card companies have extensive information systems in place to detect unauthorized transactions. However, the advantages of mobile payments for the consumer are great. Mobile payment systems such as Apple Pay offer users the option to scan their own credit cards and use that to make a payment. That assures customers that they are earning cash back or other credit card awards. During the pandemic, contactless mobile payments also gained ground. As more retailers install NFC technology or other types of readers, the technology will gain acceptance, particularly as more incentfives are included. and security issues are fully addressed.

Case 2—LinkedIn: The Social Network and E-Marketplace for Professionals

6-25. LinkedIn does not rely heavily on targeted advertising but generates revenue from other sources. Identify other sources of revenue that LinkedIn uses and explain how each contributes revenue.

of these products provides services at a fee, creating the diverse revenue base. 6-26. What are some of the advantages for college students to use LinkedIn? The purpose of this question is to encourage students to discover the benefits for college students using LinkedIn. Answers may vary depending on the needs of the students and their career plans. A key benefit comes from LinkedIn’s data analytics to support finding students their ideal first job. Positions recommended to students based on their data point out openings with companies who have hired graduates from the same college. Certain plans also offer access to approved courses that can earn continuing education credits in fields such as accounting. Students might discuss the value of such benefits to their career goals. 6-27. What are some of the advantages and benefits to Microsoft in the acquisition of LinkedIn? This answer is based on the acquisition by Microsoft of LinkedIn in 2016 for $26.2 billion. The acquisition provided Microsoft with a social media platform, and integration with their other products offers opportunities for innovation.

6-28. Describe how Microsoft could integrate its products with LinkedIn to provide greater value to LinkedIn customers. Students are encouraged to explore possible uses of the integration of LinkedIn with Microsoft products and to speculate on the potential value to Microsoft. The study provides a starting example that integrates LinkedIn with Microsoft’s Outlook calendar to provide background profiles on attendees at a scheduled meeting. Other examples could be drawn from the base MS Office tools such as Outlook. LinkedIn could provide career search data to both Access and Excel for tracking and reporting job searches. Answers will vary depending on the student’s career plans and familiarity with Microsoft products.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 7, Business Intelligence and Analytics

6-32. What factors contribute to a site’s load times? Why would your data be different from a classmate’s when accessing these sites? Load time can be influenced by multiple factors, including the type of mobile phone being used, the mobile phone data plan, the quality of a mobile connection at the current location, the level of traffic on the mobile network at the time of connection, and the level of traffic on the m-commerce site at the time of connection. Load time is also affected by how well designed and mobile-friendly the website is. These factors will influence the load time for student access to these m-commerce sites. 6-33. Conduct a new experiment to compare m-commerce at Walmart and Target. Start the stopwatch, load Walmart’s site, and search for a Fodor’s travel guide to Mexico. Add the product to your cart, check out up to the point at which you would enter a credit card number, and then write down the time from the stopwatch. Do the same experiment at Target’s site. How did your time estimates compare for the two mcommerce experiences? Overall, which site do you think offers the best user experience? Students will perform these instructions and time their results on the Walmart and Target m-commerce sites. Students will compare their time estimates, and give their own perspective on which of the two sites offers the best user experience. Any student that does not have an internet-enabled mobile phone can perform this e-project together with a student who does have an internet-enabled mobile phone.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 7-1.

How do you define business intelligence? Business intelligence describes the vast quantities of information that an organization might use for data-driven decision making.

7-2.

What are the three levels of decision making that business intelligence supports? Business intelligence supports decision making at (1) operational, (2) tactical, and (3) strategic organizational levels.

7-3.

What are the most important sources of business intelligence inside the organization? What makes them useful? The major sources of business intelligence are the organizations that own data repositories and data from external sources. Internal sources include transactional databases and data warehouses. The company’s own databases are a source of data about customers, employees, suppliers, and financial transactions. An internal transaction system is the source of data to produce a summarized sales report by region and product.

7-4.

What are some examples of external sources of business intelligence? External sources include data from websites, blogs, wikis, and social networks, as well as publicly accessible and purchased databases. An external database is a source for demographics, educational levels, income, ethnicity, housing, and employment information. Information from an external database is useful for developing targeted marketing campaigns. A publicly accessible website is a source of useful business intelligence such as competitive pricing.

7-5.

How can managers use analytics to detect patterns, trends, and relationships? How does this lead to better data-driven decision making? Approaches to analytics depend on the kind of data and the needs of the user. Online analytical processing (OLAP) systems allow users to interact with a data warehouse and perform “slice and dice” analyses to reveal patterns and trends. Using OLAP, retail managers analyze sales transaction by customer gender and age group and find relationships that can guide marketing campaigns. Statistical and modeling techniques are also used to identify patterns and trends. Market basket analysis is a type of statistical analysis used by retailers to decide where to place products in a store. Text mining is an 120 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 8, Collaborating with Technology

approach to analyzing unstructured text information such as customer comments. What-if analysis, goal seeking, and optimizing are Excel spreadsheet data analysis techniques that support decision-making by enabling the user to build models that establish relationships between variables. Forecasting tools are used to predict tomorrow’s demand or next month’s sales by analyzing historical data and seasonal trends. 7-6.

What is text analytics, or text mining? Text analytics, or text mining, is a discovery process in which unstructured text information is the source of business intelligence, rather than structured data.

7-7.

What are examples of statistical techniques that managers can use to simulate business situations, optimize variables, and forecast sales or other figures? What-if analysis builds a model that establishes relationships among many variables and then changes some of the variables to see how the others are affected. In goal seeking, instead of estimating several variables and calculating the result, the user sets a target value for a particular metric and tells the program which variable to change to try to reach the goal. An extension of goal seeking is optimization, in which the user can change many variables to reach some maximum or minimum target, as long as the changes stay within some constraints identified by the user. Forecasting tools analyze historical or seasonal trends and then take into account existing and predicted business conditions to estimate some variable of interest.

7-8.

What are examples of applications that draw on artificial intelligence for decision support? Applications that draw on artificial intelligence include robotics, expert systems, and neural nets. Service robots are appearing in business, government, and other sectors. An expert system mimics the reasoning of a human expert, drawing from a base of knowledge about a particular subject area to come to a decision or recommendation. Neural networks attempt to mimic the way the human brain works and are widely used where massive data sets are available.

7-9.

How are digital analytics used to assess the effectiveness of websites, social media, ecommerce, and mobile apps? Organizations can apply digital analytics to many sources of business intelligence, including the main website, their social media pages, their online e-commerce 121 ..

transactions, and their mobile app. Each platform offers a variety of metrics to gauge success. Total visits, number of unique visitors, traffic sources, conversion rates, page views, mobile app downloads, “likes” on social media, and many other measures will help reveal how well the site is meeting its goals. Choosing the most appropriate metrics depends on developing clear-cut goals so that analytical tools are examining meaningful data.

7-10.

How do dashboards, portals, and mashups support decision making? Dashboards, portals, and mashups are graphical user interfaces that organize and summarize information vital to the user’s role and the decisions that users make. Dashboards summarize key performance indicators. Portals are gateways that provide access to a variety of relevant information from many different sources on one screen. Mashups are gateways that aggregate content from multiple internal and external sources.

7-11.

How does the human element affect decision making? Humans are the critical element in decision making, deciding what intelligence to rely upon, what tools to use, and how to interpret the results. Humans are also subject to cognitive biases that may lead to poor decisions.

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 7-12.

Why do organizations use external data as a source of business intelligence? What are examples of sources of external data? How might retail giant Walmart use external data to make tactical-level decisions? How might its decision makers use external data to make strategic-level decisions? External databases that are either purchased or are publicly accessible are excellent candidates as business intelligence sources. For example, The US Census Bureau maintains many searchable databases with information about demographics, educational levels, income, ethnicity, housing, and employment. Student answers will vary on how an organization may use external data at the tactical and strategic level. Walmart may purchase new vehicle registration data to consider which automotive products to stock in stores. Walmart may use publicly available census data to consider where to locate one of the hundreds of small stores that it plans to open in the next three years.

not offer Business Source Complete, try doing this exercise on a different database.) Review the results, then try to specify additional search criteria, such as “influencers” and “marketing”, to narrow it down. When you have the results you want, select the option to create an alert. Prepare a brief report that describes the alert you selected, and the options that are available for your search. How frequently can you receive updates? Are there options available? Would you recommend using this intelligent agent to other students working on term papers? Answers may vary, as the exercise is designed to require the student to interact with an online database to set up a search alert. One point that could be discussed is the schedule for an alert, which may be daily, monthly, weekly, or every three months. Another scheduling option determines the duration of the search, which may be as brief as two weeks or as long as one year. 7-14.

The Springfield Community Center has an outdoor pool that operates May through October. The director is interested to learn if the Community Center can afford the $57,000 cost of installing a pool-covering dome so patrons can swim year-round. It will also cost about $200 a month for power to keep the dome inflated for 6 months each year. How can the director use forecasting to evaluate the likelihood of selling sufficient tickets to pay for this improvement? Prepare a brief report to the director that explains forecasting. Be sure to include suggestions on both internal and external data that would be useful for this analysis. Forecasting tools usually analyze historical and seasonal trends, and then take into account existing and predicted business conditions to estimate some variable of interest. Using internal historical data and external weather report data, the Community Center could analyze the correlation between weekly temperature and sales revenue from pool tickets to forecast ticket sales on a year-round basis.

Download the City Hospital database, Ch07Ex02. Write a query that sorts registrants by the type of seminar they have attended. Include the session date as well as attendee information. Modify the query to identify registrants who attended a Knee Replacement seminar. Use the report wizard to create a report that lists the session dates and the names and phone numbers of those who have attended Knee Replacement seminars. This report serves as a “patient contact sheet” that hospital staff will use to call previous attendees to invite them to attend the new seminar. How many patients are listed on the report? Review the attendees table. Is there additional patient information the hospital could collect that may be useful for future marketing campaigns? Students should download the Access database named Ch07Ex02.accdb and create a query that sorts registrants by seminar type. The query should include the session date and the attendee information. Students should modify the query to list only the individuals who attended a Knee Replacement seminar and use the query to create a “Patient Contact” report that lists 12 patients. Answers will vary regarding other types of information that may be useful for future marketing campaigns. Suggestions may include attendee email address or referral information.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1— Cracking Fraud with Government’s Big Data and AI

7-19. What are some ways that data mining and analytics could be used to 127 ..

detect fraud in health insurance claims? The purpose of this question is to help students think about some of the underlying logic and business rules in data mining. For example, analysts could look for patterns such as: • • •

Doctor’s office submits claims for services that exceed the capacity of that doctor’s office to deliver services Claims are submitted for services provided to a non-valid social security number Claims for the same service to the same individual at the same time are submitted by multiple doctor’s offices

7-20. How could private insurance companies and public government agencies collaborate to combat insurance fraud? The purpose of this question is to help students think about common objectives across organizations, and the manner in which IS can enable collaboration across organizations. It could certainly be expected that criminals conducting insurance fraud would target both private insurance companies and public government agencies at the same time. In order for private insurance companies and public government agencies to collaborate, the organizations will need to share information with each other. This information could uncover additional patterns across organizations beyond what either organization could uncover on its own. For example, it might be possible to discover that claims are being simultaneously submitted to multiple organizations for the same service to the same individual at the same time. 7-21. What types of business skills would be necessary to define the rules for and analyze the results from analytics? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the skills and human capital that accompany the use of IS in business applications. Analysts would need to understand the healthcare industry, insurance industry, and basic principles of law investigation and enforcement. From a personal skills standpoint, students would need the ability to collaborate as part of a team on the investigation. 7-22.

What business processes are necessary to complement the IS component of artificial intelligence?

128 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 8, Collaborating with Technology

Continuing from question 3, students need to understand the business processes that accompany IS applications, in addition to the business skills and business domains that accompany IS applications. In this case, the artificial intelligence will only be effective if it is accompanied by other processes to reduce insurance fraud. For example, the insurance firm must have a collections mechanism to recover funds that have already been paid, an enforcement mechanism (or the ability to collaborate with law enforcement) so that offenders are punished, and an advisory mechanism to consult with other members of the healthcare value chain (such as doctor’s offices and hospitals) to preempt fraud.

Case 2— Amazon’s Artificial Intelligence

7-23. What is Amazon’s strategy for making recommendations on its website? To make suggestions for other products that might interest the shopper, the company’s software relies mainly on “item to item collaborative filtering.” Rather than attempt to predict what the shopper might want to buy by examining the behavior of similar customers, the software focuses on correlations between actual products. Amazon’s engineers determined that this kind of collaborative filtering, which relies on the characteristics of the items rather than those of the customer, was most effective.

7-24. What are the advantages of item-to-item collaborative filtering compared to other strategies? It was much more efficient compared to scouring the database for similar customers, from a computational standpoint. Comparing the whole landscape of customer purchases to find some that resemble those of the current customer would be very time-consuming. The itembased collaborative filtering requires the algorithm to examine only the purchase histories of people who bought that particular item in order to see what else they purchased that was related. 7-25.

How does Amazon define “relatedness”?

Over time, Amazon continues to improve its algorithms as computational power increases and experiments show better results. The definition of “relatedness,” for instance, has come to emphasize “bought together” rather than just “present in the

129 ..

purchase history.” The algorithms also refine recommendations based on customer preferences for certain brands, for example.

7-26. What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of Amazon’s application of AI to devices that listen for sounds? Users can list items they might want to buy, and those items appear later on the app so that adjustments can be made. Alexa is also listening for more than “Hey, Alexa”: The device can detect sounds that suggest a person fell nearby and alert caregivers about that possibility. Amazon’s Ring doorbells can listen for sounds that might also signal problems, such as breaking glass. However, these capabilities have not rolled out without drawbacks, such as children adding toys to the shopping list and false positives causing unnecessary alarm.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Detecting Suspicious Activity in Insurance Claims

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 8-1.

What are the major collaborative technologies? What feature or features does each technology offer for communication and productivity? Major collaborative technologies include email, discussion forums, instant messaging and texting, group decision support systems, web conferencing, interactive video, shared workspaces (Blogs, wikis, social networks, microblogging, virtual reality, and the metaverse are covered in the following questions). Most email clients offer web interfaces that allow email retrieval and sending from any computer. Email features that improve productivity include contact management and appointment scheduling capabilities. Discussion forums allow users to share information or coordinate activities. Discussion forum communications are asynchronous and may be anonymous. Instant messaging (IM) and texting facilitate real-time text-based interactions. A critically important feature of IM is presence awareness, which allows users to display their current status to contacts, colleagues, or buddy list. Close kin to IM is texting, which transforms a cell phone from a single purpose mobile phone into a device that can send brief text messages to other mobile devices, transit photos and videos, and broadcast message to large groups, as with Twitter. Group decision support systems (GDSS) help groups brainstorm and make decisions. GDSS are designed to promote novel ideas and high-quality, rational decisions, by eliminating some of the features that cause groups to function poorly. Web conferencing supports live meetings via the internet. The features of web conferencing that facilitate communication and productivity include real-time video support, interactive whiteboards, text-based chat, polling software, and archiving capabilities. Interactive video chats allow participants to see facial expressions and other nonverbal aspects of communication and provide a “you are there” feeling of a face-to-face meeting. Shared workspaces are an area on a server in which team members can post shared documents, maintain lists of members and contact information, post news and announcements, and collaborate on edits and updates. Shared workspaces offer many features to help teams collaborate, including discussion forums, team calendars, team announcements, shared task lists, email alerts, search functionality, content management capabilities, workflow management, and control over security and permissions.

8-2.

What are the major Web 2.0 technologies that facilitate collaboration? What features does each technology provide? Major Web 2.0 technologies that facilitate collaboration are blogs, wikis, social networking, and microblogging. A blog is a web log, a type of website composed mainly of ongoing commentary, images, and links to other online resources. Blogs are a popular means of building knowledge bases. A wiki is a website that allows users to add and edit interlinked web pages using their browsers. Social networking sites such as Facebook and 140 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

LinkedIn allow users to post an individual or organizational profile, post updates, and add commentary, links or images of current happenings. The value of these sites is that profiles are nodes in a vast, interdependent network of links to other nodes created by other people or organizations. The users build this network themselves, as they link to friends or colleagues. Microblogging is a form of blogging in which the posts are quite short, containing a brief sentence fragment, and perhaps a link to another web resource or video. The social media aspect of microblogging enables users to reply to posts, follow other users, and repeat posts for the benefits of their own followers. Stuents may also include virtual worlds and the metaverse which provide graphical environments in which users can immerse themselves to interact with virtual objects and with one another using avatars.

8-3.

What is presence awareness? How does it add value to instant messaging? What are examples of ways that presence awareness facilitates collaboration? Presence awareness is a feature of instant message software that allows users to display their current status to their contacts, colleagues, or buddy list. This software adds value to instant messaging by showing whether the person is logged in and allowing the user to elaborate by adding comments such as, “working on the team project,” “out to lunch,” or “pretending to work.” Presence awareness facilitates collaboration by providing constant awareness of one another’s presence so that teammates can get answers to quick questions, rather than using email or voice mail and delaying work.

8-4.

What are unified communications? What are examples of integrated features of unified communications? How do unified communications contribute to collaboration?

With unified communications (UC), multiple applications and communication channels are integrated into a single interface, accessible from many different devices. Features such as voice calls, email, texting, instant messaging, and presence awareness, if integrated, could notify others of your availability for hands-free voice but not texting, and then transfer texts to email for reading aloud. UC contribute to collaboration by providing real-time communication services such as instant messaging and video conferencing, with asynchronous email, voice mail, and fax. Making all of these collaboration tools accessible regardless of the device simplifies collaboration 8-5.

What is the metaverse and what are some examples? The term metaverse refers to graphical, computer-generated spaces in which users interact with elements of the environment and also other users. The term, 141 ..

which caught on when Mark Zuckerberg changed the name of the company he founded from Facebook to “Meta Platforms,” encompasses several different kinds of experiences. Perhaps the best-known example of a metaverse environment is the virtual world, a graphical, often 3D environment in which users can immerse themselves by interacting with virtual objects and with one another using avatars. Users sit at a computer screen and control their avatars via keyboard, mouse, consoles, and even foot pedals, as they wander through vivid digital environments, exploring the digitally constructed worlds or piloting vehicles through realistic terrain. They can also change the camera perspective to see their own avatar, a virtual representation of themselves that could be fantastical or quite lifelike. 8-6.

What are the five distinguishing features of online environments? How does each affect human behavior? The five distinguishing features of an online environment are (1) unfamiliar tools, (2) media richness, (3) physical distance, (4) anonymity, and (5) audience. Unfamiliar tools such as QWERTY keyboards, controls, mice, cameras, etc., are more complicated to use to communicate, and people may struggle with complex controls and settings that can cause frustration. Media richness measures how well a communication medium can reproduce all the features of the communication it transmits. In the online environment, text-based interactions are lacking in media richness if there are no nonverbal cues to refine and clarify messages. Physical distance and the lack of any physical presence in an online environment may cause users to feel a sense of safety, making it more likely they will take more risks. Anonymity in an online environment can lead to troubling behavior. When people have a sense that others will not be able to identify who they are their behavior can change considerably. The audience of online interactions is always somewhat uncertain, and the use of online communications may have unintended consequences. Given bcc and forward functions, email may have unidentified recipients, and clicking “reply to all” by mistake is a common error. Moreover, digital communications are electronically stored indefinitely and can be recovered. Consequently, the results of using email may be painful for individuals who use them as though they are informal, ephemeral chats.

8-7.

What are group norms? How does the online environment affect group norms? What is disinhibition? What are other ways in which the online environment influences group dynamics? Within organizations, people usually learn norms (i.e., what is expected) from one another as they watch what others do and experience subtle praise or rebuke, often in the form of nonverbal cues. In the online environment, the lack of nonverbal cues may result in group members becoming irritated with one another if they are unable to establish smooth operating procedures that everyone agrees on. Disinhibition describes behavior that lacks restraint because people may express themselves more bluntly, abruptly, or aggressively in an online environment than they would in a face-to-face setting. Status equalization and challenges to 142 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

establishing trust are two other ways the online environment influences group dynamics. The online environment fosters status equalization because many of the cues that establish status are less apparent online. People with minority viewpoints are more likely to speak out online, and virtual team leaders know they do not have the same power as they might have in a face-to-face setting. Trust develops over time, and it is not easy to create trust in an online environment. A virtual team may develop a less robust form of swift trust, but that may break down when people have little knowledge of their teammates’ circumstances. 8-8.

How can virtual team members make their teams more successful? What are some of the things virtual team leaders can do to make their teams more successful? Virtual team members and virtual team leaders can help their teams be more successful by following the tips provided in Figure 8.18 and Figure 8-19.

8-10. The first GDSS was developed in the early 1980s, but not by a business; the first GDSS was developed by a university. What is a GDSS? What are the advantages of using a GDSS? Are there disadvantages of using a GDSS? Can you think of specific problems with meetings that cause groups to function poorly that may be overcome by using a GDSS? GDSS is a collaborative technology that helps groups brainstorm and make decisions. A GDSS promotes high-quality rational decisions by eliminating influence by high-status group members and allowing independent, minority viewpoints to be heard. The use of a GDSS may result in greater satisfaction with the group decision process. A disadvantage of GDSS is that users may be less inhibited due to the anonymity provided by the system. Answers will vary regarding specific problems with meetings that may be overcome by using a GDSS, but may be expected to mention lack of participation and insufficient time and information for decision-making.

Answers will vary. Students should be able to list several communication tasks that are best suited to each category of technology. Students may be guided to consider formal organizational communications, as well as downward, upward, and horizontal organizational communications.

8-12. Social networking sites are fast becoming corporate resources. Consider how Facebook may be used by an organization. Can you think of different ways in which organizations such as Coca-Cola, KFC, or Bank of America can use social networking? What are network effects? Search your favorite social networking site to learn how organizations are using the site. Answers will vary. Students should provide a list of various ways organizations are using social networking. Students may be prompted to consider how organizations are using social networking to communicate at the operational, tactical, and strategic level. Examples are to communicate with customers, to market products or services to potential customers, to engage users in product development, and to build external communities. Network effects are described in Chapter 2. Network effects refer to the increased value of a product or service that results simply because there are more people using it. The more people who use a social network, the more valuable it becomes to everybody.

8-13. Search the web to learn how organizations are using Microsoft SharePoint. What are the key features of SharePoint? What are “tags” and how are they used? What is version control? What are the advantages of using SharePoint rather than a shared network drive? Answers will vary depending on the video evaluated and students’ interpretation of the value of various features. Student reports may explore such topics as shared document libraries, links, and discussion forums, and capabilities including announcements, shared calendars, shared document editing, and links to store, organize, and share URL hyperlinks. Tags are keywords created by users to identify the document type or the document content. Users apply tags to documents and pages to share information.

contact email addresses. Create a calendar for one full month by adding events for future dates (i.e., classes, work schedule, social events) by using the various options for adding events, and then schedule a group study meeting at a time that is convenient for everyone in your group. Prepare a fiveminute presentation of your group’s experience with Google Calendar that includes a list of specific features that are available. What are the advantages of shared calendars? How do they facilitate collaboration? Students should produce a list of specific features that are available with Google Calendar. Examples are the ability to synchronize a Google calendar with a mobile phone’s built-in calendar and to receive event reminders by email or by text message. The advantages of shared calendars include improved efficiency in scheduling events, and automatic invitations and reminders. Shared calendars facilitate collaboration by making it easier to plan and publish information about upcoming events.

8-15. Online communication has evolved from newsgroups and listservs to the discussion boards of today where people post and reply to posted messages. Consider the many discussion boards that are available. Search the internet for “music discussion board” or “movie discussion board” to locate some examples. Work in a small group with classmates to consider the use of discussion forums and how they may be used effectively by businesses, nonprofits, and governments. Discuss different ways in which discussion forums may be used internally and externally. Does your university use online discussion forums? If so, how are they used? Answers will vary as the object of this exercise is to prompt students to discuss various uses of discussion forums. An example of an internal use is an employee discussion board that is used to share information, coordinate activities, or as an online suggestion box. An example of an external use is a volunteer discussion board that is used for similar purposes, to share information or coordinate activities.

8-17. Access Application: Cloud 9

The ad campaign that was developed for the Cloud 9 chain of nightclubs was a smashing success! Club owners report membership has doubled and event bookings are sold out months in advance. The owners have implemented an Access database to track membership and events at four nightclubs. Download the Cloud 9 database Ch08Ex02, and use the Report Wizard to create reports that identify which location has the most members and which has the most bookings. Review the structure of the Cloud 9 database. Can you suggest other reports that may be useful to the club owners? Students should download the Access database named Ch08Ex02.accdb and create queries to determine which club has the most members and which has the most bookings. The queries are used to create “Club Members” and “Club Bookings” reports. The Washington Square location has the most members. The Berwyn location has the most bookings. Refer to the Ch08Ex02_Solution file. The reports would appear approximately as shown here:

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1— Telepresence Robots Support Remote Collaboration

8-18. What are the benefits of telepresence robots for a company? 149 ..

The purpose of this question is to help students think through the business benefits of a technology. Human capital is very important for an organization. Once the right people are hired, the company must maximize the productivity of those personnel. Telepresence robots can help make that happen by enabling employees to attend meetings and talk with colleagues spontaneously, even though they are not physically present in the building. The robots can drastically reduce travel expenses and allow employees to easily “visit” multiple locations without travel delays. These advantages were particularly valuable during the pandemic. 8-19. What are the limitations of telepresence robots? The purpose of this question is to have students give balanced consideration to the advantages and limitations of a technology. Each telepresence robot can only be in one place at a time, so while a telepresence robot can enable a talented employee to be in a second place, this is the upper limit. Also, it is worth noting that the sophistication of the controls likely requires the employee to focus on the robot, and prevent the person from doing significant work simultaneously from their home site. Telepresence robots also raise human resource issues involving taxation, liability, and responsibility. 8-20.

How does the use of telepresence robots compare with traditional video conferencing?

Traditional videoconference technology also saves travel time between cities. What makes telepresence robots unique compared with videoconferencing is that telepresence robots are mobile within a site. For example, for a videoconference to work all attendees must be in a single location (a videoconference room or a personal computer). Once the videoconference is over and attendees depart that location, they are no longer connected. However, a telepresence robot can transition among multiple locations in a site. As mentioned in the case, a telepresence can attend a large group meeting, and then after the group meeting can conduct follow-up meetings in the hallway or an individual’s office. Mobility of the telepresence robot not only saves time for the remote attendee but can also save time for site employees because the robot can come to them. 8-21. In what other settings might telepresence robots be applicable?

150 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

This question will generate different answers from students depending on their perspective. It is most important to recognize that there may be common characteristics across applicable settings. For example, one characteristic of an applicable setting would be to maximize the presence of an expert across multiple locations. A second characteristic of an applicable setting would be a benefit of some mobility within a site. One applicable setting is remote medical care, in which a doctor could visually examine and interact with patients. During the pandemic, patients’ families could also visit via telepresence robots to avoid infection. Another applicable setting might be remote mechanical diagnostics where a technician could observe and make recommendations regarding some type of artifact. The robots can also be used by students who are unable to get to class. Students will make multiple suggestions, and the faculty can draw common themes across the suggestions.

Case 2— The Pros and Cons of Telecommuting

8-22. What are the collaborative technologies that a company like Yahoo! would have to provide to create an effective telecommuting program? How would Yahoo! increase media richness using these technologies? The point of this question is to encourage students to consider that collaboration requires a mix of technologies, not just one or two. Of the many types of collaborative technologies (email, discussion forums, instant messaging and texting, group decision support systems, web conferencing, interactive video, and shared workspaces) an effective collaborative environment will require some form of each of these. The selection of which technologies to use is based upon understanding the needs of the collaborators and the objectives of the company for the work environment. Time and distance will be among the principal evaluation criteria for building a good set of requirements. Media richness is a challenge for collaborators, and only a few of the technologies address this need, such as interactive video. The issue of media richness underlies many objections to online collaboration because the inability to see and interpret a colleague’s facial expressions, body language, and other nonverbal communications can reduce the clarity of the messages and the value of the collaboration.

8-23. In spite of the controversy about CEO Mayer’s decision to ban telecommuting, she raises valid points that might affect Yahoo!’s profitability. How could each of her concerns be overcome by providing improved collaborative technologies? Which of Mayer’s issues would be insurmountable, if any? This question draws the attention of the students to the disadvantages of telecommuting and challenges them to devise a mix of technologies to 151 ..

address these. CEO Mayer raises three points in her memo. 1) Speed and quality are compromised when telecommuting; 2) Being physically together supports company unity; and 3) The best collaboration and communication happen when people are working side-by-side. Each of her objections is valid and difficult to overcome completely. Decisions are made faster when people are together physically, and the quality of work together is enhanced by face-to-face communications, especially innovative and creative work. When people are co-located, they form bonds with one another more quickly and easily, providing a basis for greater unity. Finally, working side-by-side does enable simpler and faster collaboration and provides more media richness. However, there are other factors that are often provided by telecommuting that would be lost at Mayer’s Yahoo!. The flexibility, especially for single parents, allows many qualified people to engage who would not otherwise be able to fit into the schedule in person. Using a broader group of highly qualified people telecommuting might offset the lost speed and quality. By the same token, the increase in morale resulting from telecommuting might also build unity among employees. Finally, telecommuting using the best mix of collaborative technologies can go a long way to encouraging improved communications and collaboration. No objection is truly insurmountable, but each of them would need to be balanced by other advantages in order to make a methodical evaluation of telecommuting for Yahoo!. 8-24. Describe at least three human behavior challenges with telecommuting, and explain what a company like Yahoo! would have to do to overcome each of them. Answers will vary but they should consistently address the behavioral needs of employees. The point of this question is to help students understand that human behaviors are a critical factor in the use of information systems, especially collaborative and telecommuting technologies. Online environments affect people’s behaviors. Employees will require training in the use of the tools as well as the company policies and procedures. The company may need to refine its business processes to take advantage of telecommuting. Managers and leaders might benefit from some training in making virtual teams effective, addressing issues like disinhibition, anonymity, and status equalization. Telepresence policies as well as performance indicators may help identify those employees who are struggling with telecommuting. With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, remote work became very common and many employees came to appreciate the flexibility and reduced commuting time. 152 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

Indeed, after the pandemic, many preferred to continue working from home. 8-25. Suppose you become highly skilled with collaboration technologies and are a seasoned telecommuter. How would this affect your career? How would you represent these competencies and experiences to Yahoo!? This question encourages students to consider the value of collaboration and telecommuting to their careers, and to become aware that these are skills they might wish to develop. The demand for these competencies is increasing in the modern workplace, and it is likely to continue rising as companies increase their use of information systems. People who evidence these skills have an advantage over others in both employment opportunities and work performance. The important point is to represent such competencies with professional experience and success in two areas, familiarity with various collaborative technologies and the ability to use them effectively. Presenting these skills in the context of significant achievements and successes enables employers to understand how a person applies them to add value to their work and the company. At Yahoo!, where telecommuting is banned, one would emphasize collaboration competencies over telecommuting, while still noting achievements in both areas.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Estimating Breakeven Pricing for Telepresence Robots Using a Spreadsheet

In this e-project, you will use a spreadsheet and goal seeking to estimate at what price telepresence robots will become affordable, meaning they generate enough savings to pay for themselves in one year. Download the Excel file called Ch08_Robots, which includes variables that affect how much in savings will be generated, including the number of employees who will use the systems (100), how many trips will be saved (10), and average travel expenses per trip ($3,000). Let’s assume that a high-end robot, costs about $40,000 to purchase and maintain, as shown in the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet also estimates that the organization will need one robot for every two employees who will be using them.

8-26. Use goal seeking (under Data/What If Analysis) to determine how much the company can pay for each robot and break even, so that savings minus costs = 0. You will set the cell containing the (Savings – Cost) as the Set Cell and enter 0 in the To Value input box. The cell that can be changed is the one 153 ..

that represents the unit cost of a telepresence robot. How much can the company pay for each robot, using the assumptions in the spreadsheet? Refer to the Ch08_Robots_Solution file. The company can pay $60,000 per robot and break even.

(After clicking OK)

8-27. If travel expenses increase to $4,000 per trip, what should the company be willing to pay for each robot and still break even? You can change the average travel expenses and redo the goal seeking analysis.

154 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

The company can pay $80,000 per robot and break even.

8-28. To be conservative, the CEO insists that any project to implement robots should have a return on investment of at least $100,000. Assuming $4,000 per trip, 100 employees, and 10 trips per year per employee, how much should the company be willing to pay for each robot? The company can pay $78,000 per robot and have a return on investment of $100,000.

155 ..

8-29. It is possible the robots will be so useful that the company needs to assign one for every employee, instead of sharing them. Change the number of robots required so that all 100 employees get their own robot. Then recompute the cost the company can pay per robot, still assuming $100,000 return on investment and $4,000 travel costs. Under these assumptions, how much should the company be willing to pay per robot? At one robot per employee, the company can pay $39,000 per robot and have a return on investment of $100,000.

E-Project 2—Estimating Savings for Virtual Work Using an Excel Model

Calculating the effects of a virtual work program requires making many assumptions about gas prices, commuting distances, productivity gains or losses, and other factors. For this eproject, you will create an Excel spreadsheet that models the effects of implementing virtual work for a hypothetical organization. Download the Excel file called Ch08_VirtualWorkSavingsModel.

8-30. How does the model calculate the gasoline savings per virtual worker per year? Click on cell B21 and press F2 to display the variables used in the calculations.

156 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

Refer to the Ch08_VirtualWorkSavingsModel_Solution file. The model divides the total savings in gas per year by the number of virtual workers (B20/B16). 8-31.

Using the assumptions in the model, how much would each virtual worker save in gasoline each year? Based on the starting assumptions in the spreadsheet, each virtual worker would save $162.31 in gas each year.

8-32.

If the leadership decides to implement a smaller pilot program in which those eligible to work at home just 1 day every 2 weeks (0.5 day per week), what would be an employee’s average savings on gas per year? At 0.5 day per week, each virtual worker would save $81.16 in gas each year.

8-33.

Add more variables to the model, to show: a.

Average cost per square foot per year ($200).

Average square feet per person in an office (80 square feet).

157 ..

Students will add these variables to the model. 8-34.

Add a conclusion, “Average cost per office per year,” and enter the formula to compute this. What is the average cost per office per year? The cost per office per year would be $16,000, calculated as $200 cost per square foot per year * 80 square feet per person in an office. (B13*B14).

8-35.

Assume that the company can eliminate an office for every 200 virtual workdays per year (regardless of who is not there). Add another conclusion, “Savings in real estate costs per year,” and enter the formula that will compute it. a.

How much could this organization save in real estate per year if they stick with one virtual workday per eligible employee per week?

158 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 9, Knowledge Management and E-Learning

The company could save $392,000 in real estate costs per year. This value is computed as (B17*B18)/200*B23.

How much could this organization save in real estate costs per year if the average number of days per week employees will work from home goes up to three? The company could save $ $1,176,000 in real estate costs per year.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 9-1.

What is intellectual capital? What are the three main types of intellectual capital? How is each type of intellectual capital acquired? Intellectual capital is the collective knowledge of all the people in an organization that can be productively used to take action. The three main types of intellectual capital are (1) human capital, (2) social capital, and (3) structural capital. Human capital includes the competencies and knowledge possessed by employees. Elearning plays a role in building human capital, as do the years of experience working in the field and acquiring successful strategies through experimentation or from mentors. Social capital refers to the number and quality of the relationships employees maintain with each other and with clients, customers, suppliers, and prospective employees. Social capital is acquired through a network of contacts. Structural capital includes the vast storehouse of knowledge about business processes, procedures, policies, contracts, transactions, patents, and other aspects of the organization that are (or can be) documented and stored electronically. Structural capital is built up over years of operation.

9-2.

What is explicit knowledge? What is tacit knowledge? How does each contribute to intellectual capital? Why do they require different management approaches? Explicit knowledge can be documented and codified. It is often stored in information systems, on websites, in spreadsheets, or in handbooks and manuals. Tacit knowledge includes the insights, judgment, creative processes, and wisdom that come from learning and long experience in the field, and many trials and errors. Explicit knowledge contributes to structural knowledge by providing the summarized data that information systems can provide, along with documentation on business processes, procedures, and policies. Tacit knowledge contributes to human capital by providing employee insights that draw on years of experience. These two types of knowledge require different management approaches because the sources of each are different. Explicit knowledge may already be in electronic form, although it may be scattered about the organization in different formats and media types. On the other hand, tacit knowledge is knowledge that employees may not even know they possess, and locating the sources of tacit knowledge means finding the experts, wherever they may be working in the organization.

9-3.

What are the steps involved in launching a knowledge management program? What types of information technology can be used in a KM program?

164 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 10, Ethics, Privacy, and Security

The steps involved in launching a knowledge management (KM) program are (1) identifying the goal, (2) locating sources, (3) capturing knowledge, (4) organizing, sharing, and valuing knowledge, (5) maintaining knowledge. The nature of the intellectual capital the organization hopes to capture determines the types of information technology used for a KM program. For example, a knowledge base or a document management system can be used for explicit knowledge, and a social networking site can be used as an expert location system to facilitate the sharing of tacit knowledge. 9-4.

How can human behavior pose challenges for a KM project? Some employees actively hoard knowledge, perceiving that their value to the organization drops as they share their expertise with others. Some employees may judge that time spent adding to any knowledge base means time away from their other productive activities, and so they become free riders who use their knowledge base to achieve their own goals without adding to it. Enthusiastic contributors may get turned off as their content is critiqued or corrected by others.

9-5.

What is the semantic web? The semantic web is a web with meaning, in which online resources and their relationships can be read and understood by computers. The web now offers links from one page to the next, and the meaning of that link is clear to human beings who are reading the page. The semantic web will make that relationship clear for software agents, which will enable software agents to be more effective at more complex tasks.

9-6.

What are three approaches to e-learning? How are these approaches similar? How are they different? The three approaches to e-learning are (1) self-paced e-learning, (2) instructor-led e-learning, and (3) hybrid programs that blend some online activities with in-class sessions. They are similar in that all three approaches depend on information and communication technology (ICT), especially the internet, to connect trainees with learning materials, and also with their instructors and other trainees. They are different in that self-paced e-learning requires students to work independently, with little or no instructor involvement while instructor-led e-learning can involve synchronous events in which students and instructors interact using online tools at the same time. Hybrid programs blend online activities with in-class sessions.

9-7.

How are e-learning programs created? What types of technology are used to create e-learning programs? What is a learning management system? What are learning analytics? 165 ..

E-learning programs are co-created by a subject-matter expert, the person with content expertise who knows what should be included in the course, and an instructional designer, the person who has expertise in what works for online learning and knows how to bring the content to life. An e-learning program may also have a sponsor, the person who defines and projects goals and pays for the development of the e-learning program. Content authoring tools are used to create e-learning programs. Content authoring tools include technologies to develop narrated presentations, interactive presentations, screen captures, simulations, and lecture capture and retrieval. A learning management system (LMS) is a software application used to administer courses, track student progress, and manage educational records. Learning analytics refer to the application of data analytics to education and learner profiling. 9-8.

How are corporate learning and educational learning similar? How are they different? Initially, corporations built self-paced e-learning modules that employees could take on their own time to improve their skills or achieve certifications. In contrast, educational e-learning leaned toward simulating the learning experience of a faceto-face class led by a faculty member. The LMS for business emphasized integration with human resources, compliance training, and professional development tracking, while the educational products followed a “course” model, with syllabus, library access, test banks, and collaboration tools. Over time, however, the LMS used in corporations and education is beginning to converge, as corporations seek to build social software into their e-learning programs.

9-9.

How are e-learning and classroom-based learning similar? How are they different? E-learning and classroom-based learning are similar in that within each setting, the student’s experience and learning outcomes can be quite different. E-learning comes in many varieties, and classrooms vary dramatically as well, due to the talent, expertise, and energy of the teacher. The instructional technologies used in the different types of learning situations can vary considerably to facilitate both synchronous and asynchronous interaction.

At a minimum, students should be able to list several collaborative technologies that may be used to facilitate knowledge management at a university. The list should include a brief synopsis of each technology. See Chapter 8, Figure 8.1. Knowledge management refers to a set of strategies and practices organizations use to become more systematic about managing intellectual capital—human capital, social capital, and structural capital. 9-14.

Work in a small group with classmates to explore the kinds of graduate programs in business that are available online. Are e-learning programs offered online or in hybrid formats? Choose three programs and prepare a brief summary to compare and contrast the way each one uses e-learning that you can share with the class. In general, students will find a number of formats for e-learning graduate programs in business. In some cases, all courses in the program will be offered online. In other cases, some courses will be offered online, or certain modules within courses will be offered online. The remainder of this answer will vary based on programs that students select for comparison. Student summaries can include discussion of the proportion of content in a program that is offered online, and the manner in which content is delivered online. For example, some graduate business programs may use online resources to connect students and faculty for real-time discussion, and other graduate business programs may use online resources to deliver pre-recorded lectures.

Solutions to Case Study Questions Case 1—From Lynda.com to LinkedIn Learning: The Evolution of ELearning for Business

9-17. When Lynda.com began offering subscriptions to a library of elearning courses, what new value did the company provide to its customers? What advantages did e-learning from Lynda.com have over traditional in-person education? 170 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 10, Ethics, Privacy, and Security

The idea of this question is to help students understand that when businesses change in order to gain competitive advantages, they do so by offering new value to their customers. Lynda.com, reacting to competitive threats, changed from offering individual courses for one-time fees to offering subscriptions to a library of e-learning courses. Benefits to customers are the open access to the entire library of e-learning courses, providing the opportunity to learn more subjects. Corporate clients can now open the library to their employees and select from a variety of subjects without added costs. The advantages over traditional in person classes include the ability to schedule training at the customer’s convenience and location and to pace the learning to fit their time and needs. 9-18. What kind of changes to company’s information systems would be needed to support this online streaming business model? This question focuses students on the information systems that are required to make such a business change as well as the time and effort invested. Such a change might be extensive in its systems adjustment requirements. From website changes to application processes to the back-end database, changes could be needed to enable Lynda.com to operate a library of elearning on a subscription basis. Back-office changes may also be needed to accommodate the subscription billing and collection as well as automate the order placement and fulfillment. Employees may need additional training, and business procedures could require modifications. The important point is for students to realize that behind the scenes of a business model change is a broad range of adjustment requirements to the systems and operations. 9-19. What types of training would Lynda.com have difficulty providing customers? What kinds of education are less appropriate for elearning than traditional in-person courses? This question will have a variety of answers depending upon the student’s perspective. Lynda.com’s e-learning products do not involve a live instructor, and instead are mainly pre-recorded videos. This type of e-learning works well when the course material is fairly stable. If the content is changing rapidly or requires interpretation, instructor-led elearning would be more suitable. Also, courses that require well-equipped laboratories with careful supervision, such as chemistry or engineering, would be more effective in person. Another area in which Lynda.com’s model has limitations involves content in 171 ..

which frequent interaction and feedback are needed, such as public speaking or negotiations. The pre-recorded videos would be helpful to present the fundamentals, but students will also need opportunities to practice.

9-20. What new value was created by LinkedIn’s purchase of Lynda.com, and then Microsoft’s purchase of LinkedIn? What advantages does LinkedIn Learning have? LinkedIn offers a variety of services to professionals, and the company collects data on jobs, skillsets, individual career paths, and company needs. Adding training videos and e-learning capabilities that are tailored to each professional's next career step improves the services considerably. Microsoft's capabilities offer still more, particularly with regard to data analytics and artificial intelligence. Microsoft's upgraded service, called LinkedIn Learning expanded the offerings to allow companies to add their own training videos, track employee's progress, and analyze how the online training programs contribute to professional development.

Case 2—Diplopedia: Managing State Department Knowledge with a Wiki

9-21. In 2010, the website Wikileaks posted over 250,000 US diplomatic cables. What are some potential implications of this posting for Diplopedia? This question will generate different answers from students depending on their perspective. The purpose of this question is to help students develop hypotheses about the effects of a major information leak on a government agency’s strategies. For example, even though the lead did not involve Diplopedia, the Department apparently stepped up efforts to ensure posters did not post any classified information on the site, as concerns about security mounted. One possibility is that State Department officials may have also increased monitoring of Diplopedia content. The posting may have also resulted in decreases in the use of any electronic medium for communications, including Diplopedia. 9-22. What key issues will need to be addressed for Diplopedia to be more widely used by diplomatic personnel?

172 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 10, Ethics, Privacy, and Security

The purpose of this question is to help students consider the long-term implications of implementing an innovative technology. Continuing with some of the themes from question 1, the WikiLeaks episode highlights some relevant issues for Diplopedia. One key issue is security. How will security be maintained for articles on Diplopedia? A related second issue is access. What users will have access to articles on Diplopedia? Will various users have various levels of access? How will access rights be defined as diplomatic personnel change through the years? A third issue is contributions. As an increasing volume of content is added to Diplopedia, what will be the formal processes to monitor, review, and accept new contributions? How will prior additions be edited and updated? How will roles and responsibilities be assigned and maintained? 9-23. How can the State Department benefit from Diplopedia? The State Department can use Diplopedia as a knowledge management system. As long as security issues are resolved, Diplopedia may be an effective way to record content that can help orient diplomatic personnel to new assignments or new projects. One benefit of Diplopedia compared with other knowledge management applications is that because Diplopedia is based on wiki technology, and users are familiar with wiki technology through other applications, it may be easier for diplomatic personnel to begin using Diplopedia.

9-24. What types of knowledge are appropriate for Diplopedia? The purpose of this question is to help students understand common characteristics of knowledge that would be appropriate for Diplopedia. This case and the WikiLeaks episode suggest one or two characteristics. First, knowledge on Diplopedia should be more general knowledge than would be relevant for a larger audience. More specific knowledge that is relevant to a small number of diplomatic personnel could be communicated by email. Second, knowledge on Diplopedia should have lower security requirements. More top-secret knowledge should be communicated through mechanisms that are subject to more stringent security policies and procedures. Students will make multiple suggestions, and the faculty can draw common themes across the suggestions.

How does this approach to online courses compare with MIT’s open courseware? 174 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 10, Ethics, Privacy, and Security

The Khan Academy course on microeconomics was originally designed for selfpaced online learning without the need for a live instructor or other classmates. In contrast, MIT’s course on practical information technology management was designed for a face-to-face classroom setting, taught by Professor Benjamin Grosof in 2005. The MIT course includes a variety of resources and projects designed to encourage collaboration among students, and it also includes written assignments, and preparation for in-class discussions. The Khan Academy approach may be regarded as more passive and designed for self-motivated, independent learners. The MIT courseware is designed for a class with an instructor, with numerous interactive discussions and collaborative projects. b.

How does it compare to the course you took? Answers will vary depending on the course the student chooses for comparison.

E-Project 2—Managing the Human Element on Wikipedia with Technology In this e-project, you will explore Wikipedia’s strategies for managing the largest online knowledge repository in the world, learning more about how technology is used to manage the human element. First, visit Wikipedia’s main page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) for an overview of the site. Next, go to the article titled “Smartphone” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone). 9-27.

Click on the Talk tab at the top left. a.

What is the purpose of this section? The purpose of this section is to discuss improvements to the Smartphone article. The purpose is not a general discussion of the topic. 175 ..

What issues and debates are under way regarding the content of the article on smartphones? Answers will depend on when student accesses the Talk page. As of January 2020, the discussion was a technical discussion about replacing MOSFET with ALD.

How does this technical support for discussion about the contents of an article help manage the human element? It allows readers to exchange opinions in a public forum, and then allows contributors to review these opinions in an objective manner to decide and make the appropriate changes.

9-28.

Wikipedia has special policies for controversial topics. a.

How does Wikipedia define “edit warring”? (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring) As of 2023, Wikipedia defines an edit war as follows: An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions.

What strategies does Wikipedia use to handle editors who have disputes over content? Editors engaged in a dispute should reach consensus or pursue dispute resolution rather than edit warring. Edit warring is unconstructive and creates animosity between editors, making consensus harder to reach. Users who engage in edit wars risk being blocked or even banned. An editor who repeatedly restores their preferred version is edit warring, regardless of whether those edits are justifiable.

Overall, how do you evaluate Wikipedia’s strategies for managing the human element? Answers will vary based on the student’s evaluation. It would be reasonable for students to argue that Wikipedia has taken a variety of measures to encourage editors to discuss their different perspectives on a topic, and to limit excessive edit warring.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 10-1. What are ethics? What are two broad categories of ethics? What approach does each category take? What are examples of each category of ethics? What is the difference between ethics and the law? Ethics refers to a system of moral principles that human beings use to judge right and wrong, and to develop rules of conduct. Two broad categories of ethics are natural laws and rights, and utilitarianism. Natural laws and rights describe the approach where actions are judged according to how well they adhere to broadly accepted rules derived from natural law, usually given by the creator. An example of a natural law is “Thou shalt not kill.” Utilitarianism describes the approach where actions are ethical or unethical based on their consequences and outcomes. An example of a utilitarian law is “The greatest good for the greatest number.” Ethics are grounded in moral principles, and laws are grounded in legal principles, which are rules that have been agreed upon by a governing body. Although laws are often grounded in ethical principles, laws don’t cover all ethical principles, and an action may be legal but unethical.

10-2. What is intellectual property (IP)? What are the information ethics associated with IP? What is the impact of digital media on the information ethics of IP? What are examples of technologies used to control access to digitized intellectual property? Intellectual property includes intangible assets such as music, written works, software, art, designs, movies, creative ideas, discoveries, inventions, and other expressions of the human mind. Most societies have implemented copyright laws, patents, and legal statues to protect IP rights, judging them to be an important ethical principle that grants the person or organization that created the asset the rights to its commercial value. When IP is digitized, it is nearly impossible to enforce the laws that protect intellectual property. Digital rights management refers to technologies that software developers, publishers, media companies, and other IP holders use to control access to their digital content.

10-3. What is plagiarism? What are the information ethics associated with plagiarism? What is the impact of digital media on the information ethics of plagiarism? What are examples of technologies used to detect plagiarism? Plagiarism is the theft of intellectual property. Plagiarism is unethical because it is the act of stealing the words of another and passing them off as your own or using them without crediting the source. The internet and the existence of digital media make plagiarism easy using simple cut-and-paste commands. Turnitin.com is an example of internet-based software that offers an “originality checking” service that color codes documents showing the sources for passages that match existing written work.

180 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 11, Systems Development and Procurement

10-4. What is information privacy? What is anonymity? What are strategies that may be used to achieve anonymity on the internet? Information privacy refers to the protection of data about individuals. Anonymity refers to a condition in which a person’s identity is unknown. Online identity can be obscured by using fake names, nicknames, free email, and public computers. Erasing digital tracks is more challenging because any network connection exposes the device’s IP address, along with its location. Hiding that information usually involves handing off transmission to a proxy, an intermediary server. The transmission then appears to come from the proxy, not the actual sender.

10-5. Why do organizations implement surveillance? What are the advantages of surveillance? What are the disadvantages of surveillance? Organizations implement surveillance because they have concerns about liability for harassment or hostile work environments, or they feel the need to protect security and confidentiality, or they have concerns about employee productivity, or they have concerns about employees bogging down the corporate email system with personal email. Surveillance provides heightened security and may protect an organization against employees’ unethical or illegal actions. At the same time, surveillance may undermine the bond of loyalty between employers and employees, and some studies show that monitored employees suffer more stress, depression, and anxiety, resulting in increased absenteeism and lower productivity.

10-6. What are the steps that organizations take in order to manage information security risks and build a risk matrix? What is involved in each step of this process? Organizations should address several issues in order to manage information security risks and build a risk matrix, especially those shown in Figure 10.11. They should: • identify the information that needs protection; • identify the major threads from inside or outside the organization; • identify the organization's weaknesses, strengths, and vulnerabilities; • assess the impact of any particular risk; • determine the likelihood of each of the risks; and • determine the best controls that can be used to mitigate risks, which would include both technical controls and administrative controls. 10-7. What are the two types of threats to information security? What are examples of each type of threat? 181 ..

The two types of threats to information security are human threats and environmental threats. Examples of human threats are accidental misuse, loss, or destruction by employees, consultants, vendors, or suppliers, or intentional destruction by disgruntled employees, insider theft, sabotage, terrorism, hackers, or spam. Examples of environmental threats are fire, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, industrial accidents, dust, power failures, and lightning.

10-8. What are information security vulnerabilities? How do organizations assess vulnerability? What is penetration testing? Information security vulnerabilities are weaknesses in an information system or network that render the system or network susceptible to threats. A risk assessment examines vulnerabilities to determine the effectiveness of the organization’s existing security measures. An analysis of vulnerabilities leads to an evaluation of controls that can be implemented to protect against specific threats. Penetration testing is simulated cyberattack against the company’s information security and infrastructure to find vulnerabilities an attacker could exploit.

10-9. What are examples of administrative controls that organizations implement to improve security? Administrative controls may establish information security policies that restrict the internet sites employees can visit, or whether they can use the internet at all. They might prohibit downloading data to smartphones or USB drives or leaving a workstation without logging out. 10-10. What are examples of technical controls that organizations implement to improve security? Technical controls that improve security include control for preventing unauthorized access, encryption, and intrusion detection. 10-11. Why is human behavior often the weakest link for information ethics, information privacy, and information security? What are examples of strategies that organizations can implement to counteract the weaknesses in human behavior and decision making that have a negative impact on information security and privacy? People prefer to apply their cognitive skills to productive pursuits and bypass security policies and procedures when they get in the way. Cognitive constraints make the password a serious vulnerability. On their own, people tend to create very weak passwords that are easy to remember and easy to crack. To reduce the cognitive load of multiple passwords, organizations may implement a single sign-on, a gateway service that permits users to log in once with a single user ID and password. Organizations 182 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 11, Systems Development and Procurement

should have robust security programs to help education and continually remind people about the risks of lax security.

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 10-12. According to Wikipedia.org, digital rights management is used by organizations such as Sony, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, AOL, and the BBC. What is digital rights management? Why do organizations use technology to protect intellectual capital? Describe a typical DRM application that can be used to manage access to digital content. Are there disadvantages to using DRM? Digital rights management (DRM) refers to technologies that software developers, publishers, media companies, and other intellectual property (IP) holders use to control access to their digital content. Organizations use this technology to protect themselves against financial losses due to piracy and illegal downloads. A typical DRM application requires end users to first connect to a content service to request the material, then to another server to obtain the license for actually viewing the content. A disadvantage to using a DRM is that it may baffle or obstruct legitimate users.

10-13. Two dreaded “P” words for college students are procrastination and plagiarism. Does the first action necessarily lead to the second? Visit Plagiarism.org to learn more about the various forms of plagiarism. How are the different types of plagiarism similar? How are they different? What are the consequences of plagiarism at your university? Consult your student handbook to learn how plagiarism is defined by your school and how faculty members may respond to cases of plagiarism. What are the options for discipline in cases of plagiarism? Prepare a five-minute presentation of your findings. Two types of plagiarism include variations of “sources not cited” and “sources cited but still plagiarized” (plagiarism.org). They are similar because they both describe copying or borrowing another’s work. They are different because one describes copying or borrowing content without citing the source, and the other describes copying or borrowing work and citing the sources in inaccurate or incomplete ways in order to obscure plagiarism. Students should be able to discuss their schools’ academic policies and procedures including the policy for academic misconduct.

10-14. Visit https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-know-about-identity-theft to learn more about how to protect yourself. Also visit https://identitytheft.gov to learn what steps you can take to recover if your identity is stolen. Prepare a five-minute presentation to share with your classmates. Students should identify several methods to protect themselves as described in the website, including protecting documents that have personal information, asking questions before giving out a Social Security Number, and protecting private information from scammers online and on the phone. The identity theft website describes several steps to take to recover a stolen identiy, the first of which is to report it to authorities. Later steps involve getting a recovery plan and putting the plan into action, which may vary depending on what kind of theft occurrec. 10-15. Do you trade privacy for convenience? Visit Google.com and select the “Privacy” link located at the bottom of that page. Follow this link to the “Privacy Policy.” Does Google place cookies on your computer or other devices? Why do they use cookies? What are location-enabled services? Does Google have information about your actual location? Under what circumstances does Google share personal information with other companies? How do you describe the information security measures that Google takes to safeguard access to personal information? Is there anything in the privacy policy that makes you uncomfortable? Are you likely to change your Google search habits as a result of reviewing its privacy policy? Google places one or more cookies on an end user’s computer or other device. The privacy policy (updated on December 15, 2022) states that “We use various technologies to collect and store information, including cookies, pixel tags, local storage, such as browser web storage or application data caches, databases, and server logs.” Google uses cookies to improve the quality of services and to personalize for end users. Depending on the device and settings, Google can obtain information about your location from the IP address of your device, your past activity, and also from information you provide, such as your labeled places on maps. Location-enabled services include Google Maps and Latitude. When an end user utilizes these services, Google may receive information about the user’s actual location or about information that can be used to approximate a location. Specific location can be obtained from devices equipped with GPS. Google shares personal information with other companies if users have given consent by opting-in for information sharing. When Google shares information with other trusted businesses, it requires compliance with its privacy policy. Student answers will vary regarding the information security measures that Google uses to protect data, and may include references to restricted access to data, and internal reviews of data processing practices and security measures.

10-16. Malware is malicious software that is developed for the purpose of causing harm. What are different types of malware? How does malware infiltrate a computer system? What is a botnet? Why do criminals use botnets? What is a distributed denial of service attack? What are three ways that DDoS 184 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 11, Systems Development and Procurement

attacks impact organizations? Search Microsoft.com to learn more about how to boost your malware defense and protect your PC. Prepare a brief summary of your findings. The different types of malware include viruses, spyware, keyloggers, worms, and Trojan horses. Malware infiltrates a computer system through some vulnerability in the computer’s software or operating system, or it may be installed when an innocent user downloads a screensaver or other seemingly benign free software. A botnet is a collection of computers (zombies) that have been compromised by malicious software. Criminals use botnets to capture user IDs, passwords, credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, and other sensitive information. They can then transfer funds, steal identities, and purchase products, or sell the information to other criminals. A distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) occurs when zombie systems are directed to flood a single website with page requests that cause the website to slow down or stop working. DDoS attacks cost organizations millions of dollars in downtime, lost business, and frustrated clients. Microsoft releases a new version of its malicious software removal tool frequently. Students should be able to discuss antivirus and antispyware programs, updates, passwords, and firewalls. 10-17. Why is it important to verify the identity of computer users? What are three authentication strategies? Which is the strongest form of authentication? Which is the weakest? What credentials does your university use to verify your identity for access to email and other web-based information such as personal financial aid information and online course materials? Is this strong or weak authentication? What is a security token? Visit Wikipedia.org to learn how security tokens are used to authenticate users and prepare a brief report of your findings. Do you think it is a good idea to use security tokens to authenticate students? Why or why not? It is necessary to verify the identity of computer users in order to protect information assets. Most authentication strategies rely on (1) something the user knows, such as a user ID, password, PIN, or answer to a security question; (2) something the user has, such as an ID badge, credit card, or RFID chip; or (3) something the user is—a biometric characteristic that uniquely identifies the user, such as a voice pattern, iris configuration, fingerprint, or face. The strongest form of authentication is a multifactor authentication that combines two or more authentication strategies. The weakest form of authentication relies on user knowledge such as user ID, password, PIN, or answer to a security question. Answers regarding credentials to verify a student identify may vary but responses should be expected to mention user name, password, or student identification number. A security token is a small device that provides an electronic key as a means to authentication. This exercise requires the student to research the use of security tokens and prepare a brief report. Student reports should include a discussion of several types of security tokens (i.e., connected and disconnected tokens).

10-18. Did you ever wonder why junk email is called “spam”? The Monty Python sketch on spam has been viewed over five million times on YouTube. Work in a small group with classmates to consider why spam is one of the biggest problems facing the internet today. Approximately how much email traffic is made up of spam? Is spam a problem on mobile devices? Why is spam a problem for consumers? Why is it a problem for organizations and internet service providers? What types of technical controls do organizations use to combat spam? Prepare a brief report of your group discussion.

This exercise requires students to discuss the impact of spam. Student reports should include the facts about spam as presented in the textbook. Because spam constitutes an overwhelming portion of email traffic, intrusion prevention systems are required to control it. Combating spam has become even more critical as messaging moves to mobile devices. This might be a problem for consumers whose calling plans charge for every kilobyte received. Spam is a problem for organizations and ISPs because of the demand it makes on computing and networking resources. Many organizations install special email content filtering appliances inside their firewalls, so that all messages are examined for telltale spam signs before they are delivered to employees. An example of a technical control to combat spam is the Cisco IronPort appliance that filters content to block almost all spam from a network. 10-19. Recall from Chapter 3 how cloud computing generally requires leasing IT resources, depending on a third party to store data or provide services. Work in a small group with classmates to consider the security risks associated with cloud computing. Why are IT managers concerned about protecting cloud-based information assets? What is the IT industry’s response to concerns about cloud computing? What is the Cloud Security Alliance? Consider the class registration application at your university. Does your group consider this a mission critical application? Why or why not? Prepare a five-minute presentation of your discussion that includes a recommendation for or against using cloud computing for critical applications at your university. This exercise requires students to discuss information security and cloud computing. IT managers question whether cloud providers can adequately protect valuable information assets given the high number of information leaks and security breaches that are experienced by large organizations such as Google, but companies that operate their own data centers also experience breaches. The IT industry’s response to concerns about cloud computing is to develop security standards and best practices for cloud computing, along with transparent auditing mechanisms that will help assure potential clients that their information will be safe. The Cloud Security Alliance is a nonprofit organization that brings together experts and attempts to develop standards for cloud computing. Student reports should include a discussion of the class registration system, whether they believe it to be a mission critical system, and whether they recommend using cloud computing to host the application. 186 ..

Solutions to Application Exercises 10-20. Excel Application: Citywide Community College

The IT Department at Citywide Community College developed a computer security incident response plan that requires users to provide information for each security incident. The IT managers inventoried the major components of the college’s computer systems and created a spreadsheet to track the equipment by manufacturer, model number, and serial number. They decided to confine the list to major computer components, and they do not try to track keyboards, mice, and so forth. The managers then created a spreadsheet to track systems security incident facts including information about the department reporting the incident, target-specific information (host machine name, etc.), source-specific information (source IP address), and information about the type of security incident or attack. The IT managers asked you to use the data provided in the CCC Security spreadsheet, Ch10Ex01, to identify (1) the department reporting the highest number of security incidents and (2) the most prevalent type of intrusion. Use the “countif” function to count the number of security incidents in which the computer system was compromised. Use a memo format to submit a summary of your findings to the IT department.

Refer to the Ch10Ex01_Solution file. Students will use the mode function to determine the department reporting the highest number of security incidents and the most prevalent type of intrusion and the “countif” function to count the number of security incidents in which the computer system was compromised.

1. 2. 3.

The Campus Bookstore had the highest number of security incidents. The most prevalent type of intrusion was an unauthorized connection. There were 19 security incidents in which the computer system was compromised.

10-21. Access Application: Citywide Community College

Chris Hermann, IT manager at Citywide Community College, is working with two spreadsheets to manage computer security incident reporting. One spreadsheet tracks the major components of the college’s computer systems, and the other spreadsheet tracks security incident facts. To provide for better reporting capabilities, Chris wants you to set up an Access database that tracks college departments, computer systems, and security incidents. Download the spreadsheet Ch10Ex02 and import the worksheets to create the database shown in Figure 10.25. Create a report that lists the number of security incidents reported by each department. Create a second report that lists the number of attacks in which the system was compromised for the department having the greatest number of security incidents. What other reports would Chris find useful? Students should produce an Access database with three tables by importing data from the Excel file named Ch10Ex02. Reports on incidents by department and compromises by department would appear approximately as shown here. Refer to the Ch10Ex02_Solution file.

Case Study Questions Case 1— Equifax: A Massive Data Breach at a Consumer Reporting Agency

188 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 11, Systems Development and Procurement

10-22. How would you compare the impact of the Equifax data breach to the impact of the breach that occurred at the website mentioned earlier in the chapter, in which millions of passwords for user accounts were disclosed? This question may generate somewhat different responses from students, depending on how they think about impact. The Equifax breach was significantly larger than the chapter example based on numbers of persons impacted and the nature of the data that was stolen. Social Security Numbers, addresses, financial information is much more difficulty to change and can damage lives. As a financial services company, Equifax has a significant duty to protect private information. In contrast, the breach in which passwords were exposed did not release financial information, but users who reused the same passwords on multiple websites, particularly financial services sites, might have been affected much more seriously. This point highlights the importance of not reusing passwords. 10-23. Why was Equifax criticized for delaying the disclosure of the data breach? This question requires students to think about how Equifax managed the breach, and also how that might impact customers. Equifax did not publicly disclose the breach for several months, until it finally issued a press release informing the public and explaining the types of information involved, including Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial information, birth dates, and more. The uproar that followed brought on numerous investigations and lawsuits. Prompt disclosure would have given customers a heads up that they should check their accounts for any suspicious activity. 10-24. How did the hackers avoid detection for several months? This question asks students to reflect on how hackers can take measures to avoid detection, and the hackers involved in the Equifax breach used a number of techniques. For example, they encrypted their own traffic so that Equifax was unable to detect the intrusion with its scanning software. They also extracted the data in small amounts over a period of months to avoid arousing suspicion. 10-25. What steps should companies take to prevent the missteps that were identified as the reason for the Equifax data breach? The purpose of this question is to ask students to think about lessons learned, and what all companies should be doing to prevent such missteps. According to the case, one important strategy to prevent such an event is to install software patches in a timely way. Companies should establish policies for the IT department’s prevention strategies, which 189 ..

should include applying critical patches to vulnerable software as soon as possible. Equifax also failed to update SSL security certificates, which ensure that a server’s encryption technology is up to date, and companies should take steps to ensure those certificates are always up to date. In addition, any passwords maintained in a company database should certainly be encrypted.

Case 2—Community Policing on the Internet: Spamhaus Targets Worldwide Spammers

10-26. How do the interests of computer users differ from the interests of spammers? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the perspective of various stakeholders. Computer users want predictable and regular access to their applications (such as email) and information on the internet. Spammers want to get their information in front of as many computer users as possible, and do not care about whether the information is relevant to a particular computer user. It requires time (implied cost) for computer users to review each additional message, but spammers do not incur any incremental cost by spreading their message to additional users. 10-27. Do you agree with Spamhaus methodology to reduce spam? This question will generate different answers from students depending on their perspective. The purpose of this question is to have students evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of community policing. One advantage is that Spamhaus’ centralized organization can act very quickly to blacklist a spammer, and organizations that rely on Spamhaus’ list will be protected immediately. Spamhaus relieves organizations around the world from having to implement their own technology and processes to block major spammers. The speed factor is important because spammers quickly adapt to blocking attempts, however, community policing lacks legal safeguards that might prevent “false positives” in which legitimate businesses are blacklisted. Such mistakes can be quite costly, both financially and in terms of the firm’s reputation. Another disadvantage is that Spamhaus administrators receive numerous threats from criminal gangs involved in spam. 10-28. What other approaches could be taken to reduce spam? 190 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 11, Systems Development and Procurement

The purpose of this question, in light of the advantages and disadvantages of Spamhaus as discussed in the previous question, is for students to brainstorm alternatives. Academic research by Marshall Van Alstyne at Boston University and Rick Wash at Michigan State University has identified one alternative as devising a system whereby advertisers make a micropayment to the consumer for the right to deliver a message to a consumer. According to the research, this would alleviate spam because only legitimate firms would be willing to make these types of micropayments to customers that would actually purchase their product. Another alternative (though less efficient as described in the previous question) would be for each government and business to combat spam without the aid of a central organization such as Spamhaus. A third alternative (even less efficient) would be to have individual users take responsibility for alleviating spam at the device level. 10-29. What are the relevant legal issues in this case? One issue is that laws about online marketing are not well developed, and notions about privacy, intellectual property, and the rights of businesses to market their products are changing. The CAN-SPAM Act sets certain rules for commercial messages delivered through electronic means, but many spammers are not located in the United States, so enforcement is difficult. A second and related issue is that even as these laws are developing, they may be developing in different directions in different countries, and no court has jurisdiction over all countries. The development of laws and enforcement over time will hopefully create a more predictable and navigable environment for legitimate online businesses.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Tracking the Trackers: Investigating How Third-Party Cookies Steer the Ads You See

This e-project will show how third-party cookies read by a browser can shape the user’s online browsing experience across websites. First, you will need to remove existing cookies so you can conduct the experiment with a clean slate. Once they have been removed, configure your browser to accept 191 ..

new third-party cookies. (Check your browser’s “help” if you need assistance.) Next, visit online retailer Zappos (zappos.com) and look around for a product you would never actually purchase. Examine the product, click on features, and then add it to your cart. The goal is to add the third-party cookies about your visit and your shopping interests. Don’t buy anything, of course. Zappos participates in quite a few ad networks, and each one will place a cookie on your computer.

10-30. Browse to several sites that carry advertising, such as yahoo.com, latimes.com, time.com, aol.com, and bloomberg.com. Search each page to see if there are any Zappos ads. Which websites show an ad from Zappos? Which ones do not show any Zappos ads? What is the content of the ads? Answers will vary depending on which pages students click and the rules the sites are using to display ads generated from third party cookies. Yahoo’s shopping site, for instance, often will display targeted advertising. Some ads may show a picture of the product. Others may show a message from Zappos asking you to return to the site to complete the purchase. The goal of this question is for students to note that information about their preferences on Zappos is communicated to other sites through third party cookies, including the fact that the visitor left an item in the shopping cart. 10-31. Remove all your cookies again, and revisit the same list of sites. What Zappos ads do you see now? After removing all cookies, the sites should no longer show targeted advertising from Zappos, although generic ads might appear. 10-32. Explain the results that you found in this e-project. (Don’t forget to reconfigure your browser to the privacy settings you prefer.) Many websites participate in ad networks, such as Doubleclick.com, that have numerous clients with whom they share third party cookies. The websites display targeted advertising based on the cookies that are deposited on the computer from your visits to other clients in the network. Sites such as yahoo.com are thus able to serve targeted ads from other network members, such as Zappos.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 11, Systems Development and Procurement

10-33. Visit www.spamhaus.org and click on ROKSO (Registry of Known Spam Operations). How does Spamhaus determine who or what should be in the registry? The ROSKO FAQ describes the policy as follows: “ROKSO is a “3 strikes” register. We do not list first-time, inadvertent spammers or inexperienced marketing departments spamming ’by mistake.’ To get to 3 strikes (3 terminations for spam offences such as emailing spam, hosting spammers, selling spamware) requires a very determined spam outfit. Being thrown off an ISP takes a lot of doing, and very few customers are thrown off an ISP without having been given warnings or chances to stop violating the ISPs Terms of Service. Being thrown off ISPs *twice* for spam offences means the spammer is determined, knows the consequences, and has actually signed up to a new ISP with the specific intention of breaking the ISPs Terms of Service. Being thrown off *three* ISPs for spam offences means the spammer is a committed hardline spam operation that regards ISPs as simply throwaway resources. A termination (strike) is assigned to a spam operation when any account for internet services used by the spam operation or any entity acting on behalf of or in concert with it is terminated for abuse by the host or upstream provider.”

10-34. Check out the links on www.spamhaus.org to learn more about the Spamhaus Block List (SBL). Describe what it is, and how a particular IP address might be on the list. The Spamhaus Block List “SBL” Advisory is a database of IP address. Spamhaus recommends against accepting e-mail from these IP addresses. Under SBL Policy, the organization explains that IP addresses get on the list because they appear to Spamhaus to be under the control, used by, or made available for use by spammers and abusers in unsolicited bulk email. Spamhaus defines “spam” as “unsolicited bulk email” and Spamhaus does not evaluate the content or legality of the contents. SBL listings may be removed after Spamhaus receives information about what was done to resolve the issue, and the steps taken are sufficient to prevent further abuse.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 11-1. What are the seven phases of the systems development life cycle? What activities occur in each phase? The seven phases of the systems development life cycle are (1) planning, (2) analysis, (3) design, (4) development, (5) testing, (6) implementation, and (7) maintenance. The goal of the planning stage is to define the business need for the project, assess its importance to the company, and determine whether the project is feasible. During the analysis phase, stakeholders identify and prioritize the features the system will need. In the design phase, the system requirements are translated into a workable technical design that describes the system’s architecture. In the development phase, the design is converted into an operational information system by software developers. In the testing phase, the information system is tested against various scenarios that mimic the events the system will handle when it goes live. In the implementation phase, the system is transferred to the users who require systems documentation and training. During the maintenance phase, the system continues to evolve to fix bugs and respond to changing conditions.

11-2. What is the waterfall method of software development? How do the SDLC tasks occur in this method of development? Why does the waterfall methodology persist despite its track record? In the waterfall method of software development, the SDLC tasks occur sequentially, with one activity starting after the previous one is completed. Despite its track record, organizations continue to use this methodology because it is familiar, and its logical structure makes it easy to understand and comfortable for business managers. It also is often used for outsourced software development projects. In addition, companies are adapting the method to much shorter timeframes and sometimes adding agile methods, thereby reducing the risks.

11-3. What is the iterative method of software development? How do the SDLC tasks occur in this method of development? What role does time play in this development methodology?

197 ..

Iterative methods of software development compress the time horizon, partly to reduce the impact of changing business needs and the resulting rework. Although the waterfall method estimates time and resources needed based on the analysis of requirements, the iterative methods do the reverse. They focus on the time box available until the next release, or iteration, and the development team determines how many of the requirements can be dellivered in that time frame. Most iterative approaches incorporate the tasks in the SDLC in a fast-paced way. Time is the driver in the iterative methods of software development.

11-4. What is the agile method of software development? How do the SDLC tasks occur in this method of development? What role do teams play in agile software development? How does the time frame for agile development differ from that of iterative development? Agile software development methods use an unstructured approach in which tasks are not sequenced according to the SDLC. In agile development, many activities occur simultaneously. The development team is typically cohesive and collocated rather than geographically distributed. The time frame for agile development is quite short, often just two to six weeks.

11-5. Why do organizations choose one software development methodology over another? What are two factors that affect this decision? Why do organizations consider each of these factors when selecting a software development strategy? A software development methodology provides a structured approach to developing an information system. Organizations choose a software development methodology based on the type of project and the organizational culture. The choice of development approach depends heavily on the type of project and the clarity of requirements. Moreover, the organization’s culture is an important factor in the choice of methodology. The waterfall method works well for developers who are inclined to resist changes or additions to requirements after the analysis is done. On the other hand, agile methods require cohesive, trusting teams who welcome changes in requirements.

11-6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of custom-building software? An organization may gain several advantages from custom-building software. It can be tailored to organizational needs, it may offer strategic value that contributes to a competitive advantage, and it may not require employees to change their processes. On the other hand, custom-built software is usually higher in cost, experiences longer delays before going live, and may have ongoing needs for in-house maintenance, upgrades, and compliance.

198 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

11-7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying prepackaged software? It may be advantageous to buy prepackaged software because it is likely to handle processes using industry best practices, it requires a shorter implementation time, is usually costs less than custom-developed software, the vendor adds new features and maintains compliance requirements, and it may be the best choice for applications that offer few competitive advantages. However, prepackaged software may not match all the organization’s requirements, the vendors may over-hype the product’s capabilities and its own support capabilities, it may require the organization to change business processes, new features needed by the organization may be low priorities to the vendor, and it may not fit the existing enterprise architecture.

11-8. What rule of thumb do business analysts recommend for making the decision to buy or custom-build software? What other factors affect this decision? One rule of thumb that analysts recommend is to buy the software if it meets at least 75 to 80 percent of the requirements. Other factors that should be considered in the buy or build decision are the strategic value of the software, the overall cost, the time needed to deploy the software, the need for customization, and the availability of IT resources. 11-9. What steps do organizations take when they decide to buy rather than build software? What activities occur in each step? How is an RFI different from an RFP? When an organization decides to buy rather than build software, they take the following steps: (1) develop a request for proposal, which is an invitation to suppliers to submit a formal proposal for the software; (2) evaluate the options to determine the best choice for a vendor; (3) negotiate a contract with a vendor; (4) adapt and customize the purchased software; (5) implement the software; and (6) maintain the software. A request for information (RFI) is considered in the analysis phase, before the decision is made to buy or build the software. An RFI describes the system in broad, high-level terms. A request for proposal (RFP) is an invitation to suppliers to submit a formal proposal that should include a detailed description of their products, services, and costs. 11-10. Why are cross-functional teams needed for systems development and procurement? What kinds of problems might they experience? Cross-functional teams are needed to incorporate the perspective of all departments that will be impacted by the software. Because cross-functional 199 ..

teams include people with different backgrounds who do not normally work together, communications problems may arise. Different priorities may also appear between different business units. The team members will need to bridge these gaps and differences to be successful. 11-11. What role should senior managers play in systems development and procurement? Senior managers can emphasize the strategic value of the new information system to the organization. They can inspire employees to work together and ensure the resources the project team needs are available. Through their leadership, senior managers can also prepare the organization for change. 11-12. What are the advantages and disadvantages of engaging consultants to assist with implementation? What kinds of skills do IS professionals need to work effectively with consultants? Consultants may take on many roles to help make a systems development project a success. One advantage to engaging consultants is that the organization will have access to experts who know the software well. Another advantage of consulting services is that the organization does not have to assign so many key people to the project full-time and then backfill their positions. A disadvantage of hiring consultants is that the organization’s own employees will be less involved in many of the development and implementation tasks, so they will miss the opportunities to learn potentially important details about the software. Organizational employees may also feel less ownership of the project and be less committed to the changes that are required by implementing new processes. To work effectively with consultants, information systems professionals will require project management skills. The CIO and IT staff will negotiate terms and conditions, document changes to agreements, monitor progress, identify potential issues, and manage the change control process.

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 11-13. Lily’s cookbook project faces some tough competition for the company’s resources. She knows her coworkers, Stan and Rohit, are working on a proposal to incorporate a DVD rental feature on the company’s website, and she needs to make a strong case for her “What to Make with What You Have” online cookbook if she wants approval for her project. You are on the steering committee that will help Lily in the planning phase, and your job is to help her identify and summarize the business need for the project. What are the major factors that support a business need and determine where to allocate funding for a systems development project? Which factors has Lily considered? Can you think of other potential benefits of this project? Are

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

there any feasibility issues with this project? Prepare a brief summary of Lily’s case that outlines the facts relating to the proposed online cookbook. Students should be able to discuss Lily’s cookbook project in terms of the three factors that support a business need and determine where to allocate funding: (1) return on investment, (2) competitive advantage, and (3) risk management. Lily thinks the competitive advantage aspect of her project should be stressed in the proposal. Answers will vary regarding potential benefits of this project and feasibility issues.

11-14. Consider Lily’s online cookbook and describe the requirements for that system. Which requirements do you think are most important for Lily’s website? Which are least important? Prepare a brief summary that prioritizes the requirements of Lily’s online cookbook. Students should be able to list several of the features required for Lily’s online cookbook system: • • • • • • •

A feature to suggest recipes based on a partial list of items with the grocer offering a discount for missing items The system would also suggest staples or other items to complement the pantry The site would include an RSS feed from the grocer’s regular site, listing current promotions The site would include a loyalty feature for repeat customers who can earn points toward free deliveries The site would include a commenting and reviewing function so that customers can rate the recipes and share their tips The site needs a strong privacy policy and tight security controls to mitigate the risk customers may have about sharing food preferences in connection with their personally identifiable information One feasibility issue is whether she can get access to recipes in a format that can be analyzed according to ingredients

Prioritization of the requirements will vary based on the student’s perspective. 11-15. Recall from Chapter 3 that enterprise architecture describes the blueprint of the information technology and organizational resources that are used to execute business processes. At what stage in the systems development life cycle do stakeholders determine the architecture they will use to build an information system? What is SOA? Visit Youtube.com and search for “infoclipz: service oriented architecture.” View this three-minute video by 201 ..

InfoWorld and prepare a brief summary that includes a discussion of the benefits and challenges of SOA. The decision regarding architecture is made during the design phase of systems development. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a growing trend in software design in which systems are assembled from relatively independent software components, each of which handles a specific business service. From viewing the video, students should be able to discuss SOA as a distributed model for building and managing enterprise software. Students may also discuss the purchasing process example provided in the video, the payoff of SOA, and how a repository contains metadata about services.

11-16. The rigorous testing that takes place during the development phase of the SDLC encompasses much more than looking for bugs. What are the six types of testing that may be performed in the development phase? What occurs in each test? How are scenarios used in the software testing process? How do software tools facilitate software testing? Is it a paradox to use software to test software? The six types of testing that may be performed in the development phase are (1) unit testing, (2) system testing, (3) stress testing, (4) parallel testing, (5) integration testing, and (6) acceptance testing. In unit testing, programmers check the functionality of small modules of code. In system testing, end users and IT staff test the functionality of the entire system. In stress testing, the IT staff tests how well the system performs under peak loads. In parallel testing, the new system’s output is compared to the output generated by the one it is replacing using the same input data. In integration testing, end users and IT staff test the new system’s interfaces with linked components. In acceptance testing, end users perform final testing to determine whether the project is complete as specified. Each test encompasses various scenarios that mimic events the system will handle when it goes live. Software tools can automatically run test cases against the system as it evolves to test for errors. The software can simulate an army of customers, simultaneously trying to complete a web-based form with different data, different input errors, different browsers, and different expected outcomes. When using software to test software, IT staff assume the testing software to be free from defects.

11-17. If software doesn’t wear out, which phase is generally the longest phase in the SDLC? Maintenance begins in the first few weeks of implementation and may last for many years until such time as the system is declared obsolete. For example, changes that occur at a university often require maintenance of the system. Describe the software modifications that might be needed if the university changed all the classes offered by a particular academic department to e-learning so that no classrooms were needed. Describe the changes that might be needed to accommodate students who have more than one email address.

202 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

Answers to this question will vary. The maintenance of a university ERP system may require many changes over time. For example, a university may introduce some special courses that do not coincide with the regular academic calendar. In these cases, students may need to register for courses or professors may need to enter grades for courses outside the normal semester or quarter calendar. A university may also introduce courses that are co-taught by more than one professor, which would require multiple names to be listed in the faculty field. As suggested in the question text, e-learning courses may not require a classroom, and the system may need to store more than one email address per student.

11-18. Work with a small group of classmates to develop a process diagram that illustrates the steps necessary to register for a class at your university. Use standard flowchart notation to represent processing steps with rectangles, decisions with diamonds, and the ordering of steps (i.e., flow control) with arrows. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your process diagram to share with your class. Answers will vary based on the process at a particular university. One example of a flowchart for a university registration process is shown.

Solutions to Application Exercises 11-19. Excel Application: Jay’s Bikes 203 ..

Jay and friends started Jay’s Bikes in the family garage. Cycling is their passion! They moved to their bicycle-friendly community because of its three great bike trails that were built by the city to promote tourism and strengthen the downtown area. The business is booming and now they are operating three retail stores with 18 full-time employees. The stores stock a wide range of bikes and apparel for both casual and professional riders, and they have become gathering points for local bike enthusiasts and tourists alike. Jay is currently using an old version of point-of-sale (POS) software and wants you to download and manipulate the spreadsheet Ch11Ex01, shown in Fig. 11.16, to evaluate the alternatives for a new system. Jay has weighted the selection criteria. Create a formula to calculate the total weighted score for each software alternative. Be sure to include a formula to calculate the total weight of all factors and use absolute cell references where appropriate. Based on the initial evaluation shown here, the best option for Jay’s Bikes is SaaS for retail. Refer to the Ch11Ex01_Solution file. Students should use the following formulas to complete the spreadsheet: Weight of criterion 1 + weight of criterion 2 + weight of criterion 3 + weight of criterion 4 + weight of criterion 5 = Total weight of all factors (Weight of criterion 1 * rating for criterion 1) + (weight of criterion 2 * rating for criterion 2) + (weight of criterion 3 * rating for criterion 3) + (weight of criterion 4 * rating for criterion 4) + (weight of criterion 5 * rating for criterion 5) = Total weighted score for each alternative Questions

11-20. Which alternative scores highest if the “matches requirements” criterion is weighted at 50 percent and the “vendor architecture” is weighted at 0 percent? If “matches requirements” is weighted at 50 percent and “vendor architecture” is weighted at 0 percent, POS Vendor #1 has the highest score.

11-21. Which alternative is best if the “matches requirements” criterion is weighted at 40 percent, “vendor architecture” is weighted at 0 percent, and “cost” is weighted at 30 percent? If “matches requirements” is weighted at 40 percent, “vendor architecture” is weighted at 0 percent, and “cost” is weighted at 30 percent, POS Vendor #1 and SaaS for retail tie for highest score. 204 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

11-22. Which alternative is best if the “matches requirements” criterion is weighted at 50 percent, “vendor architecture” is weighted at 0 percent, and “cost” is weighted at 20 percent? If “matches requirements” is weighted at 50 percent, “vendor architecture” is weighted at 0 percent, and “cost” is weighted at 20 percent, POS Vendor #1 has the highest score. The spreadsheet should appear approximately as shown.

Case Study Questions Case 1—Baby Steps toward Scrum: How BabyCenter.com Made the Cultural Transition to Agile Software Development

11-24. Describe the previous software development process at BabyCenter.com. The purpose of this question is to help students understand the previous software development process as a basis for comparison with the new software development process. The prior software development process at BabyCenter.com was an ad hoc process that relied on individual relationships and judgments. A business stakeholder would individually approach a developer to request a particular project. The developer would individually judge the merits of the project and adjust their schedule to accommodate the project as they believed necessary and possible. 11-25.

Describe the new software development process at BabyCenter.com. How has the software development process changed? The new software development process at BabyCenter.com became much more systematic than the previous process, and much less subject to individual relationships and judgments. Roles and responsibilities also became more structured. Each product was now assigned a full-time product owner with two developers on each team. These roles and responsibilities ensure that resources are spread more evenly across products. Features for each product are defined upfront, which makes 206 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

projects more predictable and less subject to unexpected changes. Project teams meet regularly to exchange status and identify issues, rather than ad hoc communications. 11-26. What cultural changes were required for BabyCenter.com employees to adapt to the new software development process? Technology changes are frequently accompanied by changes in workforce culture and processes. In this case, BabyCenter.com business stakeholders had to change their culture from more informal influence to more formal request processes. Developers also had to relinquish some of their individual influence and judgment, and to adhere to a more structured process for making decisions.

11-27. What might BabyCenter.com business stakeholders and developers not like about the new software development process? How could BabyCenter.com executives respond to these concerns? As discussed in question 3, business stakeholders and developers relinquished some of their individual judgment and control in the new software development process. Business stakeholders and developers may feel that their judgment is devalued in the new process. BabyCenter.com executives can respond to these concerns by ensuring that business stakeholders and developers understand the benefits of the new process. For example, business stakeholders can be assured that their suggested projects will receive an impartial evaluation, rather than being disadvantaged because another business stakeholder had a better relationship with the right developer. Developers can be assured that they will be less subject to last-minute requests and changes, because requirements will be finalized earlier in a more structured process.

Case 2—Extreme Programming at the US Strategic Command

11-28.

How did the US Strategic Command adjust to unexpected issues as it implemented extreme programming? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the need to identify and solve challenges when implementing a business process. In the real world, processes are not always implemented exactly “by the book.” For example, although extreme programming (XP) advocates programming 207 ..

in pairs, the US Strategic Command showed flexibility when a developer was not willing to program in a pair. In that case, the organization encouraged the developer to at least work closely with her partner. While XP developers are intended to be fully assigned to a particular project, this was not always possible at this organization. Also, even though the military has a more hierarchical culture of leadership and communication, XP requires more collaborative communication. The organization needed to move in a more collaborative direction to be successful with XP. 11-29. What types of changes accompany the extreme programming methodology? Implementation of a business process may involve workplace and culture changes. For example, as discussed in connection with the previous question, XP requires a collaborative working style as developers work in pairs. XP may also require a reconfiguration of physical office space, as developers need to sit next to each other with the manager and user collaborator also nearby. It is important for students to understand all of the elements that accompany a methodology. 11-30. Why could a methodology such as extreme programming be good for a military project? What might be its disadvantages? The purpose of this question is to allow students to make a balanced consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of a methodology for a particular organization. In this case, one advantage of XP for the US Strategic Command is that important projects can be completed more quickly. Responsiveness is very important for the military. A potential disadvantage of XP for the US Strategic Command is that XP produces less documentation than other methodologies. In the event that military personnel change and are redeployed over time, the lack of documentation may make it more difficult to update and enhance projects in the future.

11-31. Does the research mentioned at the end of the case study influence your view of XP? The purpose of this question is to help students assimilate and incorporate new knowledge into their understanding of a phenomenon. The results of the research described may cause students to consider whether the concept of programming in pairs is effective. The results suggest that it could be possible that XP generates benefits for a project for other reasons, such as the way teams assume collective ownership of the project, the client’s close involvement, and also a focus on software testing. Pairing

programmers together may not be the key factor, though the practice might help with programmer training when a new programmer is paired with an experienced programmer.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Watching BabyCenter.com Change over Time with the Internet Archive

The Internet archive (www.archive.org) is a nonprofit organization that builds the internet’s library, the “wayback machine.” Copies of websites are archived at intervals for researchers, historians, and scholars. In this e-project you will take a look at BabyCenter.com’s website at different stages. (The archive doesn’t maintain all the images and graphics, so often a page will not be displayed correctly; some links won’t work.) Visit www.archive.org and retrieve the historical files for www.babycenter.com. Right-click on each of the following dates one at a time and open each page in a new window to make it easier to compare. February 8, 2004 February 4, 2006 February 7, 2008 (The archive sometimes removes pages, so if any date is not available, choose one that is reasonably close.) Open another window with the current website for www.babycenter.com.

11-32. How did the website change over this time period? What new features or services were added or removed? Although students will have various observations, the following are some observations during visits to the webpages in January 2020. These observations refer to the 2004 version, 2006 version, 2008 version, and current version. The 2004 version of BabyCenter.com is heavily text-based, with very few graphics. Many users may not have had high-speed Internet in 2004, and a text-based website would load more quickly than one with many images. 209 ..

The 2006 version of BabyCenter.com simplified the layout considerably, adding a search function and a simple menu structure along the left-hand side of the website. The 2006 version notes that the website won the 2005 Webby Award for Best Family & Parenting Site (People’s Voice Award). The 2008 version of BabyCenter.com is listed as “Beta,” and interestingly bears a closer similarity to the current version. The 2008 version has tabs across the top to link to various areas. To help users navigate the site, the search engine is prominently displayed across the top, and there is a list of Most Popular Topics toward the bottom of the page. The 2008 version notes that the website was a 2007 Webby Award Official Honoree. The current version swaps the global navigation with the 2008 left navigation, and also includes an extensive collection of featured videos. The site now includes some Web 2.0 references and functionality with emphasis on their mobile app. Toward the bottom of the page, there are links to smartphone apps, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, a sign-up for a free email newsletter, and highlights from the BabyCenter.com community. 11-33. What advantages does Scrum offer to the development of this website? An agile methodology such as Scrum may allow BabyCenter.com to incorporate new features and functionality, and be more responsive to its users, than traditional development methodologies. With short Scrum sprints, each of which delivers working software to support new features on the website, BabyCenter can test out new services and receive frequent feedback.

E-Project 2—Analyzing Software Defect Rates Using Excel

Excel is a useful tool to analyze data from software development. In this e-project, you will analyze the pattern of software defects that are identified on each day of a 14-day programming project. Download the Excel file called Ch11_SoftwareDefects. For each type of graph or chart you create, copy the image as a picture to the worksheet labeled Output, so you will be able to compare them at the end of the e-project.

11-34. Create a line graph that shows the number of severe defects on each day of the 14-day period. The x-axis should show the day number, and the y-axis should be labeled “Number of Severe Defects.” The line graph would appear as shown.

210 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

11-35. Now create another line graph that shows Minor Defects. One way to do this is to hide the “Severe” column by right-clicking at the top of the B column and click Hide. (To unhide, select Columns A and C, right click again, and choose Unhide.) The line graph would appear as shown.

211 ..

11-36. Next, create a stacked-column chart, and include Severe, Minor, and Total

Defects. The stacked column chart would appear as shown.

11-37. Create another version of your stacked-column chart so that it only includes Severe and Minor Defects. The chart would appear as shown.

212 ..

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

11-38. Create a clustered bar chart using Severe, Minor, and Total Defects columns. The clustered bar chart would appear as shown.

11-39. Create a 100 percent stacked area chart using Severe, Minor, and Total Defects columns. The 100% stacked area chart would appear as shown.

213 ..

11-40. Compare the pros and cons of the different representations for this data set. Which representations do you think developers will find most useful? Which one do you think could be misleading to developers? The line graphs showing either only severe or only minor defects (11-31 and 11-32) are clear and somewhat useful, but their value is limited because they don’t show the whole picture for the software development project. Representations that include stacked versions showing severe, minor, and total defects could be misleading to developers, because defects appear to be counted incorrectly. For example, the stacked column chart in question 11-33 suggests that on day 1, there were more than 100 defects. In fact, there were 52. The 100% stacked area chart in question 11-36 appears to suggest that on day 1, severe defects made up about 9% of the total defects. In fact, severe defects comprised almost 20% of the total defects on day 1 (10 of 52). The clustered bar chart in 11-35 also includes severe, minor, and total defects, but it separates the bars, so the counts are not misleading. However, the bar chart is cluttered, and it is also more difficult to read because time periods, such as days, weeks, months, or years, are more typically displayed on the x-axis. Representations that place days on the x-axis and include both severe and minor defects would be most useful to developers. In this group, the stacked column chart in question 11-34 is the most useful because it clearly shows how minor and severe defects are dropping during the 14-day period. It also shows that by day 11, no more severe defects plagued this project.

Solutions to Chapter Review Questions 12-1. What is a project? How do projects differ from business processes? What three forces constrain every project? How does each constrain a project? A project is a temporary activity that is launched for a specific purpose, to carry out a particular objective. Projects differ from business processes because they are temporary, with their own budgets, timelines, and sponsor. In contrast, a process is a series of events designed to deliver a product or service that is repeated over and over. Every project is constrained by three fundamental forces: time, cost, and scope. A project may be constrained by time if implementation of the system is tied to a specific date, such as fiscal year end. A project may be constrained by cost if there is a limit to the financial resources available to complete the project. A project may be constrained by scope if there are specific requirements that must be met regardless of the cost or the time to implement those requirements.

12-2. What are the five processes of project management? What are examples of activities that occur in each process of project management? The five processes of project management are (1) initiating, (2) planning, (3) executing, (4) monitoring and controlling, and (5) closing. The initiating processes lay the groundwork for the project by clarifying the business case and objectives, and determining time, cost, and scope constraints. The project charter is created in this phase of a project. The planning processes create the project management plan that serves as a road map and guide for executing the project. The project management plan provides a detailed description of the work to be done, scheduling information, success metrics, and specific information on project deliverables. The work breakdown structure (WBS) is created in the planning phase. The executing processes include all of the coordinating efforts that ensure the tasks on the WBS are carried out properly. Activities that occur in the executing phase include communicating with stakeholders, allocating work assignments, negotiating contracts, coaching team members, and holding meetings. The monitoring and controlling processes track progress from start to finish, identifying any deviations from the plan. In this phase, the project manager uses reports and dashboards to monitor project progress. Closing processes will formally end the project in an orderly way. Examples of activities that occur in the closing phase include signing off on deliverables, and reassigning team members back to regular jobs.

12-3. What role does a project manager play in overseeing a project? What skills do project managers need? What are the characteristics of effective project managers? 218 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

A project manager serves as the leader of a project. A PM needs leadership skills, excellent communications abilities, and strong team building skills. Effective project managers are attentive listeners and effective speakers.

12-4. How does project management software help plan, track, and manage projects? Project management software can be used to manage project time. For instance, the software automatically adjusts start and end dates as the PM creates the work breakdown structure. Project management software can be used to track project tasks. For example, the software allows the PM to display reports that compare the baseline schedule to actual progress. Another useful feature of project management software is the ability to assign people to tasks, and then track their workloads and duties across the project. Project management software can also be used to track salaries, consulting fees, equipment, travel, rentals, and other expenses.

12-5. What is the purpose of a Gantt chart? How is it used in project management? A Gantt chart lists the tasks on the work breakdown structure along with each task’s projected start and finish dates in graphical format. A Gantt chart identifies the critical path, which highlights the tasks that cannot be delayed without affecting the finish date. A Gantt chart is used as a tracking aid.

12-6. How is a work breakdown structure used in project management? A work breakdown structure is a hierarchical and orderly listing of actual tasks that must be completed to produce the project’s deliverables. It is critical to the planning process because it clarifies the work that must be done. The project’s scope includes a work breakdown structure (WBS), which is an orderly listing of actual tasks that the project team must complete to produce the project’s deliverables. The Gantt chart is a handy visual guide that lists the tasks on the WBS along with each task’s projected start and finish dates in graphical format. The bars graphically show the sequence of tasks and their duration, and the diamonds indicate milestones for the project. These documents, along with many other planning and tracking aids, are typically generated by using project management software.

12-7. What are the main factors that cause projects to fail? What are the main factors that enable projects to succeed? Several critical factors contribute to project failure:

• • • • • • • • •

Lack of executive support Lack of stakeholder involvement Unclear requirements Technology problems Scope creep and excessive customization Unclear roles and responsibilities Unrealistic time frames Poor communications Poor change management

The main factors that enable projects to succeed are:

• • • • • • • • •

Executive support User involvement Experienced project manager Clear business objectives Minimized scope Standard software infrastructure Firm basic requirements Formal methodology Reliable estimates

12-8. Why is it important for an organization to have a strategic plan for information systems? What major areas are covered in an organization’s IT strategic plan? An IT strategic plan is central to success and strategic competitiveness because it provides a roadmap that ensures the underlying principles, policies, projects, and investments in IT remain fully aligned with business strategy and the organization’s mission. Some of the major areas covered in an IT strategic plan are vision, principles and policies; project portfolio management; and disaster recovery and business continuity.

12-9. What are two IT funding models that organizations use to determine how IT expenses are allocated and costs recovered? How are IT expenses charged in each model? How does each funding model affect human behavior?

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

Two IT funding models are charge-back and overhead. Some organizations develop a charge-back strategy for various services, such as help desk calls, hardware purchases, software development, website maintenance, server usage, or storage space. Each service carries a fee that is charged directly to the department requesting them. Other companies treat these services as overhead, and then allocate amounts to each department at the end of the fiscal year based on a formula, such as employee head count. In a charge-back setting, users may waste time to resolve issues themselves rather than calling the help desk and incurring a charge their manager will see, or a manager trying to control expenses may leave workers to struggle with inadequate systems. In organizations that don’t charge back costs, managers have less incentive to be frugal because the expenses are not transparent.

12-10. What is an acceptable-use policy? What are example elements of an acceptable-use policy? Why do organizations implement an acceptable-use policy? How do acceptable-use policies affect human behavior? What is a record retention policy and why is it needed? An acceptable use policy lays out the rules about what employees can and cannot do with IT resources. Elements of this policy include identification of what services are provided to each employee, notice if employees may access the internet, notice if access to certain websites is prohibited, notice if surveillance and monitoring are taking place, notice of how the organization responds to violations, the penalties of violation, notice if employees can download and install software without IT approval, notice if employees can send mass email to colleagues about personal issues, notice if employees can use IT resources for fund raising or commercial ventures, and specification of the system security requirements. Organizations implement an acceptable-use policy in order to reinforce legal requirements, such as prohibitions against unauthorized copying, copyright infringement, exporting encryption software, harassment, fraudulent use, and any attempt to disrupt the information systems or circumvent authentication. Increased surveillance may lead to an increase in employee distrust. A record retention policy addresses the retention and disposal of various types of records, including the length of time different types of records should be retained. In addition to meeting legal standards, the policy should also take into account the need to manage storage space and dispose of outdated records.

12-11. What is project portfolio management? Why do organizations need project portfolio management? Project portfolio management is a continuous process of selecting which projects to pursue and then managing the whole portfolio. Organizations need project portfolio management to decide on project selection criteria and a strategy to determine which projects will make the best contribution, and which are worthy of investment and staff time. 221 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

12-12. What is the purpose of a program management office (PMO)? What are typical services provided by a program management office? How does a PMO use dashboards? Why is collecting consistent data a challenge for the PMO? A program management office oversees all the projects going on throughout the organization. The project management office provides project management training, software, and support. A PMO uses dashboards to track progress on all the projects. The PMO collects data from each project and aggregates the data to build a large picture of the overall health of the organization’s project portfolio. Collecting consistent data is a challenge for the PMO because human beings will always judge things differently, and inconsistencies occur when people estimate the duration for tasks in the first place.

12-13. What is disaster recovery? What are the major tasks associated with disaster recovery? Disaster recovery refers to all the procedures and documentation the organization puts into place to prepare for a disaster and recover the technical infrastructure. Disaster recovery includes plans for how the organization can maintain its business operations as well as recover the technical infrastructure. Major tasks associated with disaster recovery include having a plan for data backup schedules, offsite storage locations for backup media, recovery sites where data can be restored, and procedures for restarting the systems. The disaster recovery and business continuity plan should clearly identify the time sensitive and mission critical systems that must be recovered first after a disaster.

12-14. What is business continuity? What are the major tasks associated with planning for business continuity? Business continuity describes the plan for how an organization will maintain its business operations to avoid a devastating revenue loss and damaged reputation as a result of a disaster. Tasks associated with planning for business continuity include determining how employees will communicate with each other, where they will work, and how they will access the information systems following a disaster. 12-15. What is a cognitive bias? What are examples of cognitive biases? What is a black swan phenomenon? How do cognitive biases and black swan phenomena affect strategic planning for information systems? A cognitive bias is a common human tendency to make systematic mistakes when processing information or making judgments. One example of a cognitive bias is confirmation bias, the tendency of people to choose information to examine based on 222 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

whether it supports the view they already hold. Another example of a cognitive bias is anchoring, the tendency to rely too heavily on one piece of information to adjust an estimate, even if the information is irrelevant. A black swan phenomenon is a rare event. Cognitive biases affect strategic planning for information systems because they systematically affect how people process data and make predictions. Strategic planning must also encompass strategies to deal with black swan events that may be extremely unlikely but can have enormous impact if they do occur.

Solutions to Projects and Discussion Questions 12-16. Project management skills are at the top of the list of skills desired by employers, and those with project management credentials are sought by many organizations because they understand the role of the project management discipline in delivering successful projects. The Project Management Institute (PMI) is a leading nonprofit association that sets standards of good practice and certifies project management expertise. Visit www.pmi.org to learn more about the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and code of ethics. What are the benefits of PMP or similar project management credentials? Click on Business & Government, then click on Case Studies in the left column to locate the Case Study Library, a collection of brief case studies that highlight the effective use of project management methods. Select and review a case study, and prepare a brief summary of a case that includes a discussion of at least one project management process presented in this chapter. According to their website, “In an increasingly projectized world, PMI professional certification ensures that you’re ready to meet the demands of projects and employers across the globe.” (www.pmi.org). This exercise requires the student to read a case study and prepare a brief summary. Student reports should include a discussion of a project management process (e.g., initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, closing).

12-17. The Wild River Water Park will open its new waterslide this summer. Following an established project management methodology, Stan drafted the project charter, illustrated in Figure 12.5, to launch the waterslide social media campaign project. What are the characteristics of Stan’s charter that link to factors listed in Figure 12.11 to suggest his project will be successful? What factors do you think will need more attention to ensure success of Stan's project?

The factors listed in Figure 12.5 that suggest Stan’s project will be successful include (1) executive support, (2) user involvement, (3) experienced project manager, (4) clear business requirements, (5) minimized scope, (6) standard software infrastructure, (7) firm basic requirements, (8) formal methodology, and (9) reliable estimates. One success factor listed in Figure 12.11 that may require more attention for this project is “External factors.” For example, it may be beneficial for the project to incorporate more involvement and feedback from guests, employees, and social media users, in addition to the project team. 12-18. Which project management phase has a component that is neglected in many organizations? Why is this process ignored? Is there one reason or many reasons why this process is ignored? What are the benefits of completing this phase in a thorough manner? Prepare a brief summary that highlights the challenges of this phase of project management. The “lessons learned” component of closing processes is neglected in many organizations. One reason this is neglected is because team members have little incentive for spending more time to document the lessons learned. It is also neglected because time spent writing lessons learned is time away from other projects and/or people don’t want to admit mistakes or risk blame for failed projects. Documenting the lessons learned from a project enables the experience to benefit other project teams, and adds to the organization’s knowledge base.

12-19. In the planning phase, Stan identified the deliverables for his project: a new blog and website, video clips, mass emails, a Facebook page, sample Twitter output, and reports showing the analytics on page views and other metrics. Now he is concerned about scope creep. What is scope creep? How does scope creep affect a project? What steps can Stan take to manage scope creep? Describe three documents he can use to minimize scope creep. Scope creep occurs when system features are added in an uncontrolled way, often without considering the impact on the budget or timeline. Recall the triple constraint of time, cost, and scope. Scope creep can impact both time and cost. Steps to manage scope creep include creating a separate scope management plan, and having a strategy to manage scope that everyone agrees upon in advance. A scope management plan may explain how the scope will be clarified, approved, and changed, to ensure all stakeholders have some input. Three documents Stan can use to minimize scope creep are (1) the project management plan, (2) the scope management plan, and (3) the scope statement that provides a work breakdown structure. 12-20. Recall the characteristics of effective project managers listed in Figure 12.8. How do these characteristics relate to change management? What is change management? Briefly describe the skills that Stan used to resolve the change management issues on his social media campaign project. 224 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

All of the characteristics of effective project managers listed in Figure 12.8 help a PM effectively deal with change management. Change management refers to the process by which employees in an organization transition from the existing work processes to the new ones. Stan used all of the skills listed in Figure 12.8 to resolve the change management issues on his social media campaign project.

12-21. Interview a friend or family member who works for a small to midsized company to learn whether they have a disaster recovery or business continuity plan. Does the plan include data backups or offsite storage of data? Does the plan include a designated recovery site? Prepare a brief summary of your interview to share with classmates. Organizations need a plan for disaster recovery to prepare in the event of a disaster. This exercise requires the student to conduct an interview to learn about a specific organization’s disaster recovery or business continuity plan. Student reports should include a discussion of data backups or offsite storage of data, and a designated recovery site.

12-22. Work in a small group with classmates to consider the work breakdown structure for Stan’s project. (See Figure 12.7.) What is the purpose of a work breakdown structure? What activities did Stan schedule for the initiation phase? What is the purpose of a kickoff meeting? Describe the activities in the executing phase of the project. Identify which activities are likely to be concurrent and which have predecessor tasks. What is a critical path? Which tasks make up the critical path for Stan’s project? Prepare a brief summary of your group discussion. The purpose of a work breakdown structure is to identify the actual tasks that must be completed to produce the project’s deliverables. Stan scheduled two activities for the initiation phase: develop a project charter and have a kickoff meeting. The kickoff meeting is where the project stakeholders meet one another, sometimes for the first and only time. During the kickoff meeting, the project team will review the charter and discuss the next steps in the project. The critical path is the longest path of tasks listed in a work breakdown structure; it highlights which tasks cannot be delayed without affecting the project finish date. This exercise requires students to review the work breakdown structure for Stan’s project, discuss the tasks in the executing phase, and identify concurrent activities and activities with predecessor tasks.

12-23. Most colleges and universities require faculty and students to be aware of and comply with an acceptable-use policy regarding the use of information technology and email. Do you recall agreeing to abide by your school’s acceptable-use policy? Work in a small group with classmates to find the policy on your school's website and review it. Does the policy address copyrighted computer software? Computer ethics? Game playing or electronic chatting? What are the consequences of failing to comply with the policy? This exercise requires students to research the acceptable-use policy at their university and prepare a report. Student reports should include a discussion of their policy on copyrighted computer software, computer ethics, game playing, electronic chatting, and the consequences of failing to comply with the policy.

Solutions to Application Exercises 12-24. Excel Application: Creating a Gantt Chart with Excel In 1920, Henry Gantt, a US engineer, developed the scheduling and monitoring diagram that bears his name. At the time it was an innovation. Today, the Gantt chart is a standard management tool used by project managers around the world to chart the progress of their projects. Project managers likely use specialized software such as Microsoft Project to create Gantt charts. Another option is to use Excel. You can create a Gantt chart with Excel by customizing a stacked bar chart. Use the data from Figure 12.23, contained in the Excel file Ch12Ex01. • • • • • • • •

Select the headers and data for Tasks, Start Date, and Duration (Days) and create Stacked Bar Chart. Right-click on the chart and click Select Data. In Legend Entries (Series), remove Duration (Days). Click on Add to add a new series with Series Name “Start Date” and use your mouse to select Series values B4:B11. Click on Add again to add another new series, with Series Name “Duration (Days)” and use your mouse to select Series values C4:C11. Click on the y-axis, select Format Axis, and check the box “Categories in reverse order” to put the rows in order. Right-click on the first part of the first stacked bar and choose Format Data Series. Choose Fill, then click No Fill to make those parts of the stacked bar invisible. To start the chart at the project’s start data, you need to correct that axis. Excel converts June 1, 2021, to 44348, which you can see for yourself if you change the format of the cell to numeric rather than date. Now click on the x-axis at the top 226 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

of the chart, and select Format Axis. Change the Minimum to Fixed, and then enter 44348. • Finally, delete the legend at the right, if there is one. Your Gantt chart should look similar to the one in Figure 12.24. If you need more help, you can find videos that walk you through the process on YouTube by using search terms “Excel Gantt Chart.” Figure 12.23 Data for Gantt chart.

Students should produce the Excel spreadsheet shown here. Students should use the appropriate cell format for dates, and a formula to calculate task end dates. The Gantt chart is created by customizing a stacked bar chart to show task duration for eight tasks listed in the project. Refer to the Ch12Ex01_Solution file. Note: The next to last instruction that asks students to change the format of the Minimum value of the Y axis to 44348 indicates that it should be changed to "Fixed." Recent copies of Excel do not show that term, and instead, the button next to the field in which students should enter 44348 changes from "Auto" to "Reset" when students enter the value, which accomplishes the conversion to the correct dates. Figure 12-23 Gantt chart created from Excel.

12-25. Access Application: Apprentice Project Managers

Your manager asked you to create a database to track the project management skills of a recent group of candidates applying for the project manager position at your company. Create a database that includes two tables: the Applicant table to store applicant data, and the Skills table to store the characteristics of effective project managers listed in Figure 12.8. (You can import the two tables into Access from the worksheets in Ch12Ex02.) Create a relationship between the two tables (under Database Tools) to link the primary key SkillID in Skills with PrimarySkill in Applicants, which is a foreign key. Next, create a query that uses both tables to list all the applicants and the name of their primary skill (not just the number). Next, create a new query, just using the Applicants table, that calculates a weighted score for each applicant using the following formula, which you type into the Field row. Score: ([Leadership]*3) + ([Communication]*2) + ([People]) Field names are in brackets and can be used in calculations. Choose Descending for the Sort option. Run the query. Based on the results, which candidate earned the highest weighted score? Students should produce an Access database with two tables: Applicants and Skills. In the Applicants table, the top skill is identified for each contestant (Primary Skill) and each contestant is rated on leadership, communication, and people skills. Using the formula provided, students should create a query with a “weighted score” calculated field. Based on the results, Kelly Smith Beaty earned the highest weighted score. Refer to the Ch12Ex02_Solution file.

Planning

12-26.

What does this case tell us about the relationship between information systems and strategic planning? Gartner collects and analyses data on IS trends and provides projections to organizations that can then take them into account as they develop their own strategies. One aspect of the relationship between information systems and strategic planning is that information systems are key ingredients in emerging technologies, many of which open up new opportunities to achieve competitive advantages. Gartner’s emphasis on timelines helps organizations plan their own futures as they implement new technologies. Another aspect about the relationship between information systems and strategic planning that this case features is that the strategic planning process relies on data, and IS is critical for organizations to gather and analyze data.

12-27.

What other information do company executives need to have beyond the type of information provided by Gartner? The purpose of this question is to help students understand the need for business knowledge along with the need for technical knowledge. Gartner provides general data on various technologies and does not customize the data for every organization that receives the data (though Gartner does offer customization as an added service). To properly apply the Gartner data, organization executives need to understand the broader economic, political, and social environments, their industry, their customers, and their competitors. Once executives understand these areas, they have a foundation to apply the Gartner data to their organization.

12-28. How could organizations apply the Gartner hype cycle to their strategies? Organizations applying Gartner’s hype cycle are able to evaluate multiple considerations with various IS in order to execute their strategies. First, organizations can consider the match between a particular technology and their strategy, to understand whether the technology has the features and functionality necessary to implement the strategy. Second, organizations can consider the maturity and feasibility of the technology, in terms of whether timing for the technology will match timing for the strategy. Third, organizations can implement the technologies that will generate desired business benefits. 230 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

Fourth and finally, organizations can manage their risks and have appropriate contingency plans, particularly for emerging technologies that are not yet fully mature, or for those that are becoming obsolete.

12-29.

What is the value of having Gartner review its past predictions? It is important for Gartner to review its past predictions, so Gartner can be accountable to its clients for past predictions and incorporate learning into its future predictions. This practice enables both Gartner and its customers to evaluate the value of the predictions. Just as Gartner reviews its past predictions, organizations should also review their past strategies to be accountable and to incorporate learning. For example, an organization may realize that it is trying to implement new technologies too early in the process before the technologies have reached the appropriate level of high maturity and low cost. Or an organization may realize that it is waiting too long to implement important technologies that could have enabled it to execute its strategy and achieve benefits earlier.

Case 2—JetBlue and WestJet: A Tale of Two Software Implementations

12-30.

What are some key differences between the JetBlue and WestJet software implementations? This case provides an interesting example in which two firms in the same industry implemented the same software, with dramatically different outcomes. At least three areas of project management played an important role in the outcomes. The first area was volume of business during the transition. WestJet did not reduce its volume of business during the transition, which put pressure on the new system to process the regular volume of business. On the other hand, JetBlue did reduce its volume of business during the transition by pre-canceling 56 flights and restricting ticket sales on the remainder of flights to reduce pressure on the new system. The second area was communications. WestJet did not communicate with its customers in advance. On the other hand, JetBlue did communicate with its customers in advance, which enabled customers to be informed and have their expectations set properly. The third area was redundancy. JetBlue established a backup website and also hired 500 temporary agents, to ensure that added resources were on hand to resolve technical problems and serve customers during the transition.

12-31.

major project in advance? One interesting aspect of this case is that WestJet intentionally decided not to communicate with stakeholders in advance, citing the risk that competitors would note the date and run a promotion to take advantage of the situation. This at least suggests the possibility that there may be some valid advantages and disadvantages of advance communications in project management. One advantage of advance communications is that they can inform stakeholders and set expectations in advance. If a JetBlue customer understands in advance that there may be some technical issues during the transition, customers may be more patient if they experience a glitch. In addition to the disadvantage cited by WestJet, another potential disadvantage could be that the advance communications may cause needless anxiety for some stakeholders who worry whether the technical issues could negatively affect them. The point of this question is for students to understand that they should note potential advantages and disadvantages before they communicating a decision. 12-32. What are the advantages and disadvantages of adjusting business volume during a major business project? Similar to question 2, the purpose of this question is to help students understand the advantages and disadvantages as they make decisions related to strategy and project management. An advantage of reducing volume (JetBlue reduced volume, WestJet did not) during a major systems implementation is that it reduces risk during the transition and puts less pressure on the new system. However, a disadvantage of reducing volume is that the firm loses out on revenue during the transition. By pre-canceling 56 flights and reducing ticket sales on other flights, JetBlue sacrificed revenue that it may not have needed to sacrifice if the systems transition went well.

12-33. Beyond not being the first firm to implement a particular piece of software, what other more general lessons apply for software implementation? The importance of planning and project management for any software implementation is a key lesson from this case. Project managers must develop detailed plans that touch on scope, costs, and timing, and then they must be able to anticipate and react to changes as they occur. JetBlue was able to adapt its implementation plan based on the knowledge gained during WestJet’s rollout, and thus avoid some mistakes. With its hiring of 500 temporary reservation agents, JetBlue also placed more emphasis on serving customers and resolving any problems, and relied less on a flawless software launch. For a software implementation, it is important to thoroughly test the software, but to also ensure that appropriate backup for technical and human resources are in place during the rollout. 232 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Solutions to E-Project Questions E-Project 1—Examining an IT Strategic Plan

Search the web to locate the most recent IT strategic plan for the Department of State, which was last posted online as a pdf (https://www.state.gov/wpcontent/uploads/2019/04/FY-2019-2022-ITSP_FINAL-508.with- Signature.pdf).

12-34. After reviewing the plan, answer these questions: 1. What does the plan say are the agency's mission and vision? The mission is to create an interconnected, secure, and informed Department through the prioritized, secure, and innovative application of IT resources. The vision is to drive necessary and effective operations and collaboration across the Department, its partners, and foreign audiences. 2. What does the plan identify as strategic goals? The strategic goals are to use data as a strategic asset, enhance user and mission effectiveness, IT modernization, and strengthen IT management. 3. What does the plan say about guiding principles? Acquire services rather than build systems; avoid vendor lock-in; centralize and standardize in the cloud to maximize enterprise value; re-engineer business processes as systems are modernized; provide security that reflects real risk management and enables access; rely on commercial and shared government services; and reduce internal data centers and legacy systems. 4. Does the plan say anything about the need to replace legacy systems? How will the agency approach that? It mentions reducing the use of legacy systems and working towards moving them into the cloud and other ways of modernizing them.

E-Project 2—Analyzing Airline Performance with Excel Pivot Tables

In this project, you will download departure data for JetBlue and other airlines, using flights that depart from Los Angeles. The project will help you learn to use Excel’s Pivot Table function to analyze large data sets. Download the file Ch12_Airlines. Select all the columns containing data, and then choose Insert/Pivot Chart.

12-36. Drag Carrier Code to the Axis Fields (Categories) box, and drag Departure Delay to the Values box. If the chart is showing the Count of Departure Delay, change that to Sum by clicking on the down arrow, choosing Value Field Settings, and selecting Sum. Which airline had the highest number of delay minutes in this time period? Refer to the Ch12_Airlines_Solution file. US Airways had the highest number of delay minutes (1,025) in this time period.

12-37. Because the airlines have a different number of departures, the average (mean) of delay minutes is a better metric than the sum. Click on the Sum of Departure Delays and select Value Field Settings. Change the setting to average. Which airline has the shortest average departure delay? 234 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

JetBlue had the shortest average departure delay (1.82 minutes).

12-38. Now let’s examine the delays in terms of where planes are headed. Click on the black arrow inside the Carrier Code symbol in the Axis Fields box and choose Remove Field. (You can also just drag the Carrier Code symbol out of the box to remove it, or just uncheck the box next to Carrier Code in the field list). Drag Destination airport to that location to break down the average delays by destination. Which destination experienced the largest average departure delay for flights from Los Angeles, and what is the average departure delay for this destination? Planes headed to Milwaukee (MKE) experienced the largest average departure delay (31.46 minutes).

12-39. That result could mean that Milwaukee’s February weather is partly the cause. But now drag Carrier Code back into the Axis Fields Box and place it just above Destination Airports. What airline operates flights from Los Angeles to MKE? Frontier Airlines is the only airline that operates flights from Los Angeles to Milwaukee.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

12-40. The file also includes columns that break down the delays based on what caused them. What factor is causing most of the delays for the flights from Los Angeles to Milwaukee? The data show that several very long delays were due to late aircraft arrival, perhaps because the planes left Los Angeles late. The total number of delay minutes due to this factor was 785, and the mean delay caused by this factor for the 28 flights was 28 minutes. The National Aviation System also contributed to delays (402 minutes total, mean = 14.4 minutes), often adding delay to a flight that was already delayed due to late aircraft arrival.

Case Studies Solutions to Case Study Questions Case Study #1—Meta’s Privacy Challenges

How might privacy and user considerations differ for an application such as Facebook, which is used primarily by individual users, compared with an application such as an ERP system that is used primarily by corporations? The difference between the privacy consideration of an application like Facebook and an ERP system lie both in the consumer as well as the content. While an ERP serves a business, protecting the accessibility and integrity of sensitive information in an enclosed system, Facebook is a public application where individuals share private information. Facebook's loyal users, a number that has continued to grow steadily, rely on the site to share news, photos, videos, and special moments with their friendship networks. The content that users share is often considered to be private by the user—to be shared only with their ‘friends’—but depending on the Facebook’s ever-evolving privacy policies, may be considered public domain once shared on the platform.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

How does the default selection of sharing versus not sharing information affect the subsequent choices of individual users? Default selection of sharing (versus not sharing) of personal information and/or content relies on the savviness of new users to assess how they want their information to be handled by the application. Those who are unaware of this default setting may be sharing information through implied consent based on their participation rather than express consent simply due to a lack of awareness.

What is the likely perspective of marketers on privacy issues at Facebook and Instagram?

Marketers are likely less inclined to feel protective of personal privacy as any available user-provided content allows for increased targeting of advertising to the user and their network of friends. Facebook is in a unique position for marketing because the site has so much information about what you like, who your friends are, and what they like. Although search engine marketing relies on the keywords you enter, social marketing can tap into a deeper understanding of your behavior patterns and friendships. Social marketing can also draw on whatever influence you have on your friends and turn products into overnight sensations via viral marketing. For instance, Facebook introduced “Sponsored Stories” as a way for advertisers to let your friends know whenever you click the “Like” button on their brand or check in at one of their stores. 4.

How does Apple’s iPhone software fit into the picture for Facebook? Apple made a significant change to its iPhone operating system that has had significant effects on Facebook’s advertising model. Apple changed the iPhone software so that it required apps, such as Facebook, to ask for consent first. Apps had to prompt users to agree to whether they consent to being tracked by that app. This change meant that companies could no longer collect data on each person’s interests and behavior patterns as they used the app on their smartphones without getting explicit consent. Advertisers were quite aware that few people would agree to tracking, especially as concerns were mounting and governments around the world were ramping up privacy protections. The stock price of Meta Platforms dropped significantly in a single day, and company executives estimated that billions in ad revenue would be lost.

Technologies

Uber has two different apps: one for the drivers and the other for the riders. How are these different? Briefly describe how each works and identify the benefits to each of these kinds of users. Uber’s app for riders displays the user’s current location with an option to change this and an option to select the size of car needed. The locations of drivers in the area are shown on the map with the approximate time between request and arrival. Riders can also enter their destination to obtain a cost estimate for the trip. Once a particular driver is requested, their name, photo, car type, and contact information are available to the rider. This interface allows the user to ensure that the size of car, wait time, and price are acceptable as well as giving them the information they need to identify their driver when they arrive for safety. Uber’s app for drivers includes a button to go online, indicating to riders that the driver is accepting passengers. When the driver’s location is the closest Uber car to a rider making a request, the app will signal the driver, allowing 15 seconds for the driver to accept the request. If the driver doesn’t respond, the software signals the next closest driver. The driver who accepts the request can bring up the navigation screen to plot the best route to the pickup point. Drivers tap “Arriving now” in the app to send a text to the rider’s phone. Drivers also tap to start and end the trip, so the software collects the details to determine price. The features of the driver’s app give priority to the closest driver, which assists with more equitable disbursement of fares among drivers. Mapping, notification of passenger of arrival, and the handling of destination details and fare collection increase efficiency and decrease extra responsibilities for drivers.

Identify at least three ways Uber is expanding its apps and describe how this expansion might give Uber a competitive advantage. Uber is expanding its apps to include a rideshare/carpooling option. By diversifying the use and reach of their technology, Uber increases profits while minimizing risk if one area proves to be less profitable. The company also is offering different kinds of services that meet the needs in different countries, such as a service that allows riders to hail a driver on a motorbike in Indonesia, where that is a popular means of transport.

Despite the advantages that Uber offers, its shared-economy approach brings disadvantages. Identify at least three disadvantages of Uber’s approach and describe how these affect the market and workers. Uber’s shared-economy approach has disrupted the taxi industry, which is subject to strict city regulations causing some city governments to prohibit Uber operation altogether. Their classification of drivers as “independent contractors” relieves them of the need to pay drivers a minimum wage, offer benefits, or adhere to workplace safety laws. This approach also protects the company from liability in the case of a driving accident. While not needing to adhere to these standards creates a convenient, readily 240 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

available utility for individuals looking to make extra money and riders seeking a faster, cheaper, and easier transportation option, it also creates vulnerabilities. Taxi drivers begin to lose fares to independent contractors in their own vehicles and Uber drivers are not protected with benefits and liability protections offered to those who are able to unionize or simply hold employee status.

Consider the sharing of underutilized resources and the opportunities for businesses in that model. Would you work for a company using that model? Why or why not? If you owned such a company, what would you do to address the disadvantages of the sharing economy? Describe how each of your proposed actions might address the disadvantages.

The sharing of underutilized resources is in effect in the case of Uber—those without transportation exchange monetary compensation with those who have transportation and extra time to provide it as a service. Responses will vary.

Case Study #3—Apple: Can the Company Pull off Another Disruptive Innovation?

What are the key factors that make Apple successful, and how does each of these contribute?

Apple’s huge successes have hinged on the company’s ability to come up with innovations and strategies that create new markets for products, the so-called “blue ocean” approach. Besides emphasizing elegant design and usability, Apple creates competitive advantage through network effects and high switching costs. Their tight integration between Apple devices encourages consumers to stay within the product line while their cloud hosting services make it less desirable for people to take on the hassle of switching over to devices outside the line.

When Apple sued Samsung to protect its intellectual property rights, it won. What might be the adverse effects on consumers of Apple’s victory in the smartphone market?

Apple’s victory has the potential to decrease competition in the smartphone market, compromising consumer interests by creating a monopoly.

During students’ college careers, a wide variety of information systems are used in their classes and in their personal lives. Is this nonintegrated abundance of information systems another “blue ocean” market, and how might a company like Apple exploit such an opportunity?

The purpose of this question is to give students an opportunity to imagine new possibilities that might bring improvements to their own lives. Responses will vary.

Is Apple so successful that it cannot fail? What might Apple do to weaken its market leadership and lose its competitive advantage?

Responses will vary. Apple’s success depends on continued innovation, which creates new markets for consumers, and the company is embarking on new partnerships that take advantage of its expertise in software. An example is the partnership with Hyundai to develop an Apple-branded autonomous electric vehicle. The company must also address the problems that may arise due to its advanced technology, such as the privacy issues raised by the AirTag.

Case Study #4—Managing the Federal Government’s IT Project Portfolio

What unique challenges does the federal government face in managing its IT project portfolio? The federal government, while initiating and carrying out new IT projects, must maintain the older legacy systems currently in place. Initiation of new projects often involves hiring independent contractors to build custom software rather than drawing on the benefits of shared services using commercially available products. Long systems development times, especially those relying on the waterfall method, risk that business needs will change before the software is completed.

Agency CIOs are asked to rate each project in terms of risk. What other information might be valuable for the federal CIO to receive from agencies? Agencies should be required to report the type of software development approach that is 242 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.

Wallace, Introduction to Information Systems, 5th edition Instructor’s Manual Chapter 12, Information Systems Project Management and Strategic Planning

being used to reduce the failures associated with the long-lasting waterfall projects. While waterfall is still used for some projects, these are shorter in duration compared to earlier efforts, which lasted years.

Some agencies were more successful in meeting goals for data center consolidation, shared services, and cloud computing. What factors appeared to contribute to their success? A number of factors contributed to these successful consolidation efforts including strong executive leadership; the use of knowledge management and lessons learned; a willingness to pursue cloud and shared services to optimize data center operations; an emphasis on closing certain data centers completely; an increase in the use of virtualization to optimize the use of servers; and developing an organization-wide communication plan to keep stakeholders informed.

What are the relevant human considerations in reporting high-risk projects?

High-risk or redundant projects are likely to be terminated resulting in sudden job loss and financial insecurity for those involved in the project.

Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement Birds, agents announced Thursday that they found two dead gannets, possibly killed by oil from the spill, while patrolling closed fishing grounds Wednesday near Grand Gosier Island, between the Chandeleurs and Breton Island in Plaquemines Parish. Agents confirmed the seabirds were covered in oil. They were turned over to U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service officials in Venice, who will determine the cause of death.Federal officials said another gannet and a brown pelican were collected after being oiled in the past few days,

National Wildlife Federation president and CEO Larry Schweiger said Tuesday that a brown pelican was being cared for along with a northern gannet that was found several days ago. The brown pelican is Louisiana's state bird.

Schweiger says there's no way to know how many birds have been oiled because the slick is so big and offshore.

Schweiger says both were in an isolated recovery area to let them preen and get back to flying condition.

He says he doesn't know just where or when the pelican was found.

We were on the Western side of the Chandeleur Birds, Islands when we saw this helicopter come down on the island to pick up three people. When it landed, it came in over a flock of brown pelicans and other seabirds, who are already in distress, sending them flying out over the water where we observed oil. Birds are nesting right now and should not be disturbed.

Several organizations were working together in the morning to rescue birds including United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, International Bird Rescue, volunteers from the Louisana Audubon Society, and several hired by private companies (including British Petroleum). In addition to the three birds that were seen during an observed 90 minutes, several other birds were known to be rescued but were not seen as they were in cardboard boxes.

Dead bird on Mars Beach in Ocean Springs, MS Birds, The ground was littered with dead birds. So many Birds, dead birds that we aren't sure how many were out there, many dozens of dead birds just in the small area which we surveyed on the island. The dead appeared to included mostly seagulls and terns though some were badly decayed and identification was difficult. It was clear to me by the various states of decay, from scattered bones to a tern that couldn't have been dead for more than a day and everything in between, that this is an ongoing situation.We also saw a juvenile gull that was in distress. It could hardly walk and was very unsteady when it took a step it also had very little energy. By the time we finished our sampling and were ready to leave the island the bird had died. I asked Kurt if he had seen anything like the dead birds and he said that he had been visiting this island his entire life and he has never seen dead birds in the numbers we were seeing. It is clear to me that these birds are somehow being poisoned by the BP event.

I also wanted to confirm my suspicions from finding dead birds on the roadsideâ€¦ A crab fisherman, Mr. Verdin, agreed to take me to â€œTHATâ€ Islandâ€¦.The one I feared to seeâ€¦But, knew I had to. â€¦ Mr. Verdin found a spot to pull the boat close to the marsh grassesâ€¦ I walked not two feet and there they wereâ€¦strewn around like popcorn all over the placeâ€¦laughing gulls. I guess I kinda of expressed my sentiments loudly cause Mr. Verdin was at my side in no time flat to see what I saw. He was also in complete awe. We walked the island together, mostly in silence, lost in our own thoughts and fears and sadness.

On the night of April 20, 2010, BP's oil drilling disaster began with a tragic explosion that claimed 11 lives, and now it has become the largest environmental disaster in US history. Today marks one month since the beginning of BP's disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that sent shockwaves across the world, and the total amount of oil is estimated to be nearly 8 times the amount spilled by the Exxon Valdez.

Thereâ€™s growing anger at both BP and the federal government regarding the Gulf oil catastrophe; three-quarters of Americans think that BP has muffed the response and â€” are you listening, President Obama? â€” a slim majority think the Obama administration has done the same. Now an ad hoc group called Murdered Gulf has announced a formal protest to take place this Sunday at 1 p.m. in Jackson Square, demanding the government do more. Who is behind this Murdered Gulf, you ask? This event is being put together by a handful pissed-off New Orleaniansâ€¦ it is not a political action committee, community group or activist organization although we absolutely WELCOME and INVITE anyone and everyone to join us! PLEASE spread the wordâ€¦ come and bring as many as you can! We will have legal observers on-hand to deal with any police problems (although we donâ€™t expect any).

A resident of Lafitte told us that the kids have Cultural Loss, been especially affected by the spill because theyâ€™re scared to go into the water. Most kids grew up spending time on their parentsâ€™ boats during the summertime. At that point, the resident pulls out photographs, snapped by a community member, of her young children playing amongst the nets on the familyâ€™s trawler boat thatâ€™s streaming to the middle of the ocean. The resident added that before, children would leave school in May to work on the trawler boats. Lafitte community member, Michelle explains to Cultural Loss, us that shrimp trawling helps to supplement everyoneâ€™s income, not just the shrimperâ€™s. Shrimp is used in bartering and gifts and then she sadly describes what would have been her â€œlast bowl of shrimp.â€•She said she had prepared some shrimp a friend had given her at the end of the trawling season and left it in the refrigerator for a later meal. When she returned she discovered that her son, who had received his fishing boat captain license two weeks before the oil spill, had taken it out fishing with him. â€œThat was my last bowl of shrimp!â€• she exclaimed, half laughing and half remorsefully. A woman in Venice told us that for fun they used Cultural Loss, to go mud riding on four wheelers, but now the area is closed off and monitored by police.

ROBERT, La. (AP) -- A massive oil spill in the Gulf Health Effects, 28.86392 of Mexico has become the testing ground for a new technique where a potent mix of chemicals is shot deep undersea in an effort to stop oil from reaching the surface, and scientists are hurriedly weighing the ecological risks and benefits of the new procedure.

-88.461914 YES

Crews battling the spill already have dropped more than 156,000 gallons of the concoction -- a mix of chemicals collectively known as &quot;dispersant&quot; -- to try to break up the oozing oil, allowing it to decompose more quickly or evaporate before washing ashore. The technique has undergone two tests in recent days that the U.S. Coast Guard is calling promising, and there are plans to apply even more of the chemicals. But the effect of this largely untested treatment is still being studied by numerous federal agencies, and needs approval from a number of them before it can be rolled out in a larger way. &quot;Those analyses are going on, but right now there's no consensus,&quot; said Charlie Henry, the scientific support coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. &quot;And really getting You Health Effects, 30.28686 Last eveningwe're 5-12 just my husband camestarted. from work (CSX bridge tender Rigolettes bridge) with headache and vomiting.

Bayourkeeper, Tracey, is concerned about the Health Effects, 29.66688 night spraying of dispersants by plane in the area [we have heard this from numerous people that there are planes out at night and they think they are spraying, but can't prove it]. She says that after Alex - after the water elevation and the increased waves - there were white frothy areas in the water, like soap. The EPA denies that they are spraying in the bayou. BP denies they are spraying. Oil and water samples were taken from both the Health Effects, 29.23662 Shores of Grand Isle and from 20 miles out. The preliminary analysis was done at an academic analytical chemistry laboratory. Looking for the likely pollutants from the deep water Horizon Oil spill. It was focused on the detection of benzene and propylene glycol. Benzene and other highly toxic contaminants were very low however the concentration of propylene glycol was between 360 and 440 parts per million. Just 25 parts per million is know to kill most fish and propylene glycol is just one of many ingredients found in Corexit. In short, the Gulf is being poisoned by BP's usage of the dispersants even after the EPA asked them to stop back in May. We are willing to provide ANY respected/known laboratory these samples or provide them with more. This is very serious to all people and marine life in and around the Gulf.

After our first day out on the water with Captain Lori of Dolphin Queen Cruises touring the lagoons around Orange Beach, Alabama, we all had extreme headaches. During our boat tour, dispersant was visible covering the water everywhere. That evening I developed a gagging, coughing reflex that was so intense and persistent it was impossible to speak to my daughter on the phone. The symptoms typical for high levels of chemical exposure such as burning, itching eyes, constantly runny nose, chronic coughing, burning sore throat, chest congestion, and lethargy progressively intensified. Over the next several weeks these symptoms continued to worsen until I developed chemically-induced pneumonitis. Before leaving the area I had blood tests initiated to determine if the levels of exposure were high enough to be be detected. The musical activists Sassafrass and the tireless efforts of Michelle Nix allowed myself and several local residents to have blood drawn and tested by Metametrix for chemical exposure. Project Gulf Impact and the Coastal Heritage Society have also contributed greatly to air and water testing in the Gulf region affected by the spill.

by Glynn Wilson ORANGE BEACH, Ala. â€” Wherever disaster strikes, thereâ€™s always an associated crud. There was the Exxon Valdez Crud. The Nine Eleven Crud. The Katrina Cough, and then the TVA coal ash cough. Now, along the entire coast of the Gulf of Mexico, there is the BP Crud, afflicting workers and the general population from Louisiana to Florida. When the Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, Robin Young, a 47year-old director of guest services for a property management company in Orange Beach, Alabama, was gearing up for what promised to be the best tourist season on the coast in years.

About 1 1/2 weeks ago, we had a rain mist. I was outside, putting some things in the car while it was raining, and within 15 minutes, the skin on my arms felt raw, itchy, and then I broke out in a rash. A few hours later, I looked at my potted jasmines, and they had become translucent in places. The next day, there were obvious burn marks on some of the leaves, and most of the leaves had turned yellow and shriveled up. It took the roses an extra day to show the burns. It did not affect all the plants in the area, it came in localized patches, and maybe some plants are more sensitive. I do not talk about this a lot, as there is so much mood out there that all is OK. Granted, I am sensitive, but this is going on. If it's in the air, it will soon be in the groundwater, if not already. I am in Alachua FL, just north of Gainesville. have had to go on anti depressants since oil spill.

Dr. Chris Pincetich, Marine Biologist and Toxicologist, Project Gulf Impact, July 4, 2010: C-130 on &quot;Oil Spill Cleanup&quot; Transcript Excerpts Coast Guard planes are flying overhead at night spraying Corexit. Youâ€™re ask me if itâ€™s getting on land, Iâ€™m telling you itâ€™s getting sprayed on land. I know from my work with pesticide applications that even if you have a very good pilot the drift can be of concern. But the secondary effects are the kind of volatilization, evaporation and THEN movement. So, itâ€™s applied, it sits on the surface, it comes on up a little bit, and then it moves aroundâ€¦ Do i think thereâ€™s dispersant mixing with our everyday lives? Absolutely.

To make a long story short, There was a chemical leak which caused a mandatory evacuation in the vicinity of my home. The news did not say very much so I went to the red cross seeking information. They did not have any information for me, but had an ambulance come to pick me up. Even though I insisted I was fine, they were very persuasive about getting me to go to the hospital. Now, I have medical bills which need to be paid, for treatment I did not recieve, and did not want to get. I keep getting the run around from the red cross and Dow chemicals apparently do not have a phone that is in working order. A red cross employee even suggested that I get a lawyer! I do not want to go to these extremes, as it would cost more than my bills total to hire a lawyer. I came across this website by chance through researching articles relevant to the event.

And so are thousands of other families just like theirs in some of the world's richest fishing grounds, livelihoods in limbo as winds from exactly the wrong direction â€” the southeast â€” threaten to push an oil slick the size of Puerto Rico ever closer to the fragile, fingerlike bayous. &quot;I don't know what I'll do.

An oysterman is out of work due to the oil spill Final crab catch in Gulfport Scores of shrimp boats sat at dock Monday in Bayou La Batre, their crews unable to work because of a 10-day ban on Gulf fishing in areas near the spill. But the spill was still at a distance from the Alabama coast, and some shrimpers and commercial fishermen were able to continue working waters closer to the coast. Updated May 3. U.S. officials closed commercial and recreational fishing in a large swathe of waters hit by the growing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Sunday. The affected waters, which span the coastlines of four states, are largely between the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana and Florida's Pensacola Bay, the NOAA said. The ban took immediate effect and is in place for at least 10 days.

In the morning, the Louisiana Department of Livelihood Wildlife and Fisheries canceled the Monday inside threatened, shrimp season opening it had announced just last Thursday due to the fear of oil contamination as the spill continues to move west of the Mississippi River. Then around 3 p.m. it closed all commercial and recreational fishing in state territorial waters which includes the beaches south three miles to federal waters, which are already closed. That left recreational fishing open in the vast Barataria-Terrebonne estuary, an important exception since the profitable summer speckled trout season was just starting to heat up. But no one in the industry is feeling safe.

Several of us took a trip down to Venice to speak Livelihood with people affected by the disaster. A camera threatened, crew from ABC was milling around looking bored, some of them loading equipment onto a sportfishing boat. We saw five or six workers with hardhats and rubber boots getting onto a van, though none of them would speak with us (presumably due to the contracts they've signed with BP forbidding them to talk to the media). We walked down the docks and talked to several boatloads of people loading booms onto boats, each of them waiting to be deployed. All of them were shrimpers that could no longer fish, and were now under the employ of BP doing clean-up efforts. Some mentioned little training on how to operate the booms; others unsure about how much they were getting paid or how long they'd be working for. None of them knew what they'd be doing for work after this was over. To protect them from possible repercussions we have not included their photographs.

According to Leoda Bladsacker, Grand Isle Town Livelihood Councilwoman and lifelong resident of the island, threatened, the five seniors graduating from Grand Isle School this year need a new source for college scholarships, which have typically been provided by the island's fishing rodeos. The Grand Isle Tarpon rodeo, normally held in July, has been cancelled. Ashland Services/ Ashland Marine LLC has been Livelihood hiring locals for the oil clean up. But we have not threatened, been being paid for our services. I have about 2 weeks of unpaid hours. They told me to go to Harvey, LA (where the main office is) to pick up my check. I drove from Denham Springs to Harvey to get it. But when I arrived, the office people told me to go somewhere else. This happened several times. All my money has been spent on gas trying to get my check. I know hundreds of other people are in my same position, since they have been cleaning up in multiple locations such as Grand Isle and Elmer Island.

He grew up the threatened, son of a shrimper and dropped out of school in the 7th grade to begin a career as a shrimp fisherman. He expressed that shrimp fishing is a hard way of life, long hours and grueling labor.

One of the most difficult matters with regards to Livelihood processing claims for loss of livelihood due to the threatened, BP spill was the difficulty in proving just how much money any one shrimper makes over the year. We were told that an estimated 85-95% of revenue developed by the fisherman is cash only business. BP has promised to &quot;honor all legitimate claims&quot;. This very carefully worded statement is why so many shrimpers will not be receiving financial assistance from BP.

He says that he thinks it is strange some small areas are open because the boundaries are just barrier islands. When he shrimps in these places, the few shrimp that he nets go into a bucket, they put a light over them and can see an oil film/sheen (if this is the case they get dumped back in and shrimp processing factories do a double check). He is unable to work for BP because of the size of his boat. Oyster beds are closed as well so he is unable to harvest oysters.

The reason that this is a problem is because much of the seafood industry of the Gulf Coast is a cash economy and based on barter and trade and thus much of the selling is not reflected on tax statements.

Many have been hired, but the people themselves say not nearly enough. The Nation magazine now reports a big reason for the shortfall - BP has been using inmates to do much of the shoveling and scooping to remove oil from Louisiana beaches.

Since the oil spill, business at Madeira Beach Seafood is down 60 percent. Business managers blame the government's virtual shutdown of commercial fishing in the Gulf in the day after the spill, which led some Madeira Beach Seafood customers to look elsewhere. Many switched to buying seafood from Mexico and Central America. And despite the fact that most of the long-line grouper fishing zones have reopened, things at Madeira Beach Seafood are getting worse. &quot;In the last few months, things have been deteriorating more and more.

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO -- Streaks of putrid, orange and rust-colored oil is creeping well west of the mouth of the Mississippi River in an area that has received less attention. An Associated Press reporter saw hundreds of dead man-o-war in the area Thursday. The oil is in streaks ranging from a few feet wide to much larger swaths. Much of the oil west of the river was still miles out in the Gulf, but there appeared to be little or no effort to contain or clean it up. Jefferson Parish officials asked BP and the Coast Guard on Wednesday to bring booms, skimmers and workers to Grand Isle when oil was spotted about 50 miles away. The oil drifted closer by Thursday.

NEW ORLEANS -- Federal officials have expanded an area that is off-limits to fishing because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Friday an area from the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River to south of Pensacola, Fla., is now closed. NOAA spokeswoman Christine Patrick said the initial closure was 6,814 square miles and the new area is 10,807 square miles. Late Thursday, Louisiana officials closed shrimping in state waters from South Pass of the Mississippi to the eastern shore of Four Bayous Pass just east of Grand Isle. Earlier, state waters east of the Mississippi were closed to seafood harvesting National Geographic: A dead dolphin lies on the beach on Horn Island, Mississippi, on May 11. Officials say that at least six dead dolphins have been found along the Gulf of Mexico coast since May 2. Authorities don't yet know whether the animals died due to the Gulf oil spill. But Kendall said oil is a likely culprit. &quot;I'm not surprised that we're seeing dead dolphins already,&quot; he said. &quot;Dolphins have to surface to get air, and if they surface through oil and they're inhaling, they're going to suck the oil down their airways.&quot; Photograph by Mike Stewart, AP

Fishers in St. Bernard Parish have been spotting an unusual amount of dead fish floating along the banks of the marshes in recent days, as the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill creeps more into the marshes of Breton and Chandeleur sounds. On a trip to monitor his oyster leases earlier this week, Shawn Assavedo came across a constant line of dead fish that spanned more than a mile along the banks in Eloi Bay, in the eastern and southern fringes of St. Bernard's marshes. He said other fishers had brought up the amount of dead fish in recent days, but he underestimated the expanse of the problem until he saw it. &quot;I was just looking for one or two dead fish here or there, I wasn't expecting that kind of stuff,&quot; he said. &quot;We've been living down here all our lives, and haven't ever seen anything like this.&quot;

This is the first dead whale reported since BPâ€™s rig exploded on April 20. It was not found in oiled waters; however, its location of death is unknown. As soon as the whale was sighted, Pisces Field Party Chief Paul Felts called the marine mammal hotline to report the finding to the Wildlife Branch of the Unified Command and NOAAâ€™s marine mammal experts.

Based on the estimated size of the whale, scientists believe it is a sub-adult. Its condition suggests it may have been dead for between several days to more than a week. Although it was not found in oiled water, NOAA marine mammal

Kemp's Ridleys, a critically endangered type of sea Marine turtle, face a huge risk of being caught in the Wildlife, flames used to burn off oil in the Gulf. Gulf currents push oil and seaweed into the same areas, creating dangerous feeding grounds for these sea turtles. Michael Ziccardi, a veterinarian from the University of California Davis, is organizing a team of 20 observers who will examine pools of oil for sea turtles before they are set aflame. As research scientist Blair Witherington said, &quot;The goal is not to allow turtles to die in oil, and not to allow them to die in fires set on the sea.&quot;

&quot;There's a legal reason to care because they're protected under the Endangered Species Act, and one can't just go about killing sea turtles the way one kills ants or flies. And people really do care about them. I'd like to think that the world is a richer place because we have sea turtles. Each and every one of them,&quot; Witherington says. He raised his concerns about the fires with Michael Ziccardi, a veterinarian from the University of California Davis who's been coordinating the turtle rescues. Ziccardi says so

Weeks ago, before engineers pumped in mud and cement to plug the gusher, scientists began finding specks of oil in crab larvae plucked from waters across the Gulf coast.

The government said last week that threequarters of the spilled oil has been removed or naturally dissipated from the water. But the crab larvae discovery was an ominous sign that crude had already infiltrated the Gulf's vast food web -and could affect it for years to come. &quot;It would suggest the oil has reached a position where it can start moving up the food chain instead of just hanging in the water,&quot; said Bob Thomas, a biologist at Loyola University in New Orleans. &quot;Something likely will eat those oiled larvae ... and then that animal will be eaten by something bigger and so on.&quot; http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oilspill/index.ssf/2010/08/blue_crabs_provide_evid

Called â€œjubileesâ€•by locals because of the opportunity to scoop up seafood in buckets, they typically appear during the summer along the Gulf Coast. This year, scientists say jubilees have occurred in open water for the first time, raising concern that low-oxygen areas are expanding because of the more than 4 million barrels of oil BPâ€™s Macondo well leaked into the Gulf. Low oxygen in the water because of oil and methane from the BP spill contributed to a â€œjubilee-like effectâ€•in late June off the coast of Fort Morgan, Alabama, at the mouth of Mobile Bay, Monty Graham, a senior marine scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama, said in a telephone interview. Catfish, shrimp, crab and flounder piled up along an offshore sandbar, until the sharks moved in, Graham, 45, said. â€œMost of us believe it had something to do

State authorities say fish kill in St. Bernard Parish Marine waters likely caused by low oxygen levels.t. Wildlife, Bernard Parish authorities have reported a large fish kill at the mouth of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, but state wildlife officials say it does not appear to be directly related to oil from the BP leak. Randy Pausina, head fisheries biologist for the state, said Department of Wildlife and Fisheries workers are investigating the fish kill and that the initial conclusion is that it was caused by low levels of oxygen in the water. 18 0 199Share Pausina said extreme heat can cause areas of low oxygen, especially when coupled with nutrientrich water coming from the Mississippi River. The state opened several river diversion structures to help keep oil from penetrating the state's wetlands. The fish were found Sunday afternoon, floating near boom that had been deployed in the area to catch oil from the BP oil leak, and washed up on the shoreline, St. Bernard Parish government said in a news release.

A dead whale was discovered Thursday morning in Delray Beach at 240 South Ocean Boulevard. A short time later, scientists were dispatched to aid a pigmy sperm whale that was found alive and stranded in shallow water, just south of Jensen Beach public beach park.

Plaquemines Parish officials have asked state wildlife officials to investigate what they said is a massive fish kill at Bayou Chaland on the west side of the Mississippi River late Friday.

Photographs the parish distributed of the area shows an enormous amount of dead fish floating atop the water. The fish kill was reported to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife &amp; Fisheries and the cause has not yet been determined, the parish said. The fish were found in an area that has been impacted by the oil from the BP oil spill, the parish said. The dead fish include pogies, redfish, drum, crabs, shrimp and freshwater eel, the parish said.

The trip was both very troubling and incredibly uplifting in regard to the marine life we saw. First of all, I was thrilled to be going on this trip, hoping to see some signs of lifeâ€¦some signs that the Gulf was starting down its long road to recovery. According to pilot Bonny Schumaker: â€œThe search grid was about 75 NM wide (roughly west to east) and 25 NM tall, with the western sector overlapping the Macondo rig.â€• Pilot Schumaker: â€œNo whale sharks were seen in the western sectorâ€¦. We also did run across a lot of white foamy substance never seen before and that none of us could identify from the air.â€• Unfortunately, much of the day flying back and forth over the grid (roughly centered at Latitude 29.16228, Longitude -88.05911), we saw VERY little life.

Escambia County spokeswoman Sonya Daniel said the odor detected Friday is most likely from the oil spill, which remains well to the south. Officials sent staff to check the water as a precaution, but no oil sheen or slick was sighted near the coastlines. Officials believe the smell should become less noticeable as the winds shift.

The smell of oil is particularly strong and sickening Odor, today. Instant headache, a friend said. I could smell it at the Yenni Bldg. by the Huey P.

Lisa Jackson was in town again today, but no community meetings that I know of. You had to request a meeting with her if you are the media. I requested, but the email was bounced back. A friend went down to Grand Isle this weekend: tar balls have already shown up on shore. They are desperately trying to sand bag and dredge shut the space between the barrier islands to keep the oil out of the Barataria estuary. If they fail, its all over for that estuary. The oil will kill the marshes if it gets in. There is no doubt about that. Same story for east of the river. Can they dredge in time to close the gaps between barrier islands and keep out the oil?

From the crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Oak's engine room to the officers on its deck, &quot;nasty&quot; is the operative word to describe the mouth of the Mississippi Delta, now covered for miles in rust-colored tendrils of oil. coast-guard-oil-spill.jpgThe Associated PressA boom is lowered into the Gulf of Mexico Thursday from the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Oak to contain oil and keep it out of the Mississippi Delta and away from the Mississippi River. The South Carolina-based cutter spent two days in a slow churn from Pensacola Naval Air Station before finding leading edges of the massive slick, hazy and pink ocean waters streaked with red ribbons of oil. It made an impressive and heartbreaking scene. The Coast Guard cutter is on the front line in a fight to keep an enormous swath of oil, some 60miles wide and 90-miles long, from reaching the Gulf Coast. On the afternoon of May 10th, I left my airOdor, Health conditioned office building in downtown New Effects, Orleans and went home to my house in Mid-City. Upon leaving my office building, I was immediately struck by the smell of kerosene. On the drive home I realized that the entire city smelled this way.

Just got off the phone with Melinda Treadaway- Odor, Health her husband Michael was going Effects, back and forth between Venice and Buras (where they live) for about 10 days to sign papers with BP and watch training videos with BP so that he can begin working on clean-up, but he got sick and was admitted to the hospital.

In addition to the indignity of oil oozing into its Oil in the depths at a rate of at least 5,000 barrels per day, Water, the Gulf of Mexico is now enduring a heavy rain of mystery chemicals. BP and the U.S. Coast Guard are dumping large amounts of &quot;dispersants&quot; both on the surface and underwater, in a desperate attempt to control the ongoing spill. Dispersants are surfactants, not unlike what you use on your dishes, that break oil down into small droplets that sink into the water. . How much are they dumping? Lots. According to ProPublica, &quot;BP has already bought up more than a third of the world's supply&quot; of dispersants. On Thursday alone, ProPublica reports, emergency workers dropped 100,000 gallons of the stuff into the Gulf. And what precisely are they dumping? That's where the mystery comes in. &quot;The exact makeup of the dispersants is kept secret under competitive trade laws,&quot; Propublica reports.

Louie Miller, Sierra Club state director, said, &quot;I think we need to get the word out. ... We want to educate ourselves and the media as to what the situation looks like firsthand.&quot; The Sierra Club first offered airplanes rides to the media on Saturday after a news conference at the Gulfport Harbor, but the weather grounded the effort. Low clouds again stalled the flights Sunday, but by Monday the cloud ceiling had lifted, and three flights of four passengers each made the trip at 3,000 feet to the southern tip of the Chandeleur Islands. The twin-engine aircraft went about 50 miles to the southern tip of the Chandeleur Islands from the Gulfport airport. The aircraft turnaround point was about 30 miles north of where the oil rig exploded on April 20 and sank two days later. Through and clouds, the journalists saw oil Oil in Gulfhaze of Mexico See video for John Wathen, the Hurricane Creekkeeper based in Alabama, flew over the BP oil slick yesterday on a flight provided by SouthWings and videotaped what he saw.&quot;The enormity of this slick began to sink in to me,&quot; Wathen says on the video. &quot;It seems as if the thing was spreading out over the entire Gulf of Mexico.&quot; A man holds up a plastic bag filled with oil and seawater from the Gulf of Mexico south of Freemason Island, one of Louisiana's Chandeleur Islands (map), on May 7.

A worker in Lafitte said that their days consisted Oil in the of a lot of sitting on the boats out in the water, Water, with few tasks to do. When they did actually work, they picked up soiled soft boom and placed it in plastic bags, then removed it to C&amp;M marina for &quot;decontamination&quot;. He said he didn't know exactly how they did the decontamination, where the boom went from there, or what was behind the gated area down at the marina. While the boom does soak up oil, he said, it fills up pretty quickly and then just sits there, so he was dubious that it was very effective overall.

I could see them clearly as brown streaks similar to what I had seen in photos of the Gulf. Since I had not heard of oil off the eastern coast of Florida I looked very carefully to determine if they might be seaweed. However, they looked like brown oil streamers approximately 5 to 15 miles offshore. The 3 streamers I saw appeared to be .5 to 1 mile in length and very narrow about a few hundred feed wide. They curved at the ends like a seahorse's tail.

Oil in the Water,

A BP supervisor showed us the surface oil Oil in the collected by his crew and the machinery used for Water, this task, both located in the back of a Lafitte marina. One of the machines resembled a conveyor belt of mop heads. The â€œmop headsâ€•are made from a close-weave material that absorbs water but does not absorb water. The belt is lowered into the water and the surface oil picked up by the mop fibers is extracted and stored in large, rectangular, translucent drums. The recovered oil, as he described it, has the consistency of â€œpeanut butterâ€• . He explained that the consistency and appearance of the oil is due to the temperature of the water. The recent weeks of cold water caused the recovered oil to appear rusty brown and have a higher viscosity. Warmer water causes oil to have its more characteristic â€œsheenâ€•appearance. He then graciously provided us with a Gatorade bottle of recovered oil that he said, according to BP, could be considered â€œstolen, since BP claims the oil is its property. I could probably go to jail if they found out I had collected this and kept it.â€•

Bay Jimmy had predictably black marsh grass Oil in the along the waterâ€™s edge with a trampled Water, appearance. However surprisingly there were also new green grass shoots among the oil covered grass. A new sheen and glassy appearance to the water had also appeared according to BP supervisor who took us out, and whose team had done extensive work in the area. He said they had removed much of the surface oil in the area, however the dispersants caused the oil to â€œdisappearâ€•and prevent it from being collected. He said that they had stayed ahead of the oil and had managed to keep this area clean for a few weeks but now with the storm may have pushed new oil into the area. The boom on the windward side of marsh had been removed however the PVC piping used to anchor the boom remained. He said that the PVC pipes ordered are detrimental to the environment because they donâ€™t biodegrade and therefore have to be manually removed. If a pipe should become loose, it will make it difficult to find and remove. Bamboo, he said, the standard material used in this situation, is ideal because it poses no threat to the environment and therefore has no need for removal.

Water, Leaving out of New Orleans, we crossed the Chandeleur Sound and saw streams of red oil on the surface of the water caught in a rip line. As we flew farther into the sound, we saw mile after mile - as far at the eye could see - of what looked like red, dispersed oil just below the surface:We sent some photos to a coastal scientist who is not sure if it is oil or possibly a major red tide. Either way, that would mean massive wildlife kills. Our team is headed back out tomorrow with scientists to sample the water.

The Press-Register collected samples from multiple locations along the Fort Morgan peninsula during the last several weeks and provided them to Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University chemist. While heavy oil sheen was visible in the areas where the material was collected, little if any oil was found to be present in the samples, said Overton, who is analyzing oil samples for the federal government. &quot;We didn't see oil in the analysis we do, but I passed some of these water samples to a colleague who does fluorescence analysis,&quot; Overton said. &quot;We saw some preliminary indications that there was a dispersant signal in the sample.&quot; Fluorescence analysis provides ultra-fine detail and can measure chemicals to the parts per billion level or better.

What we saw contradicted what we have been hearing from BP, the unified command, the administration, and the press. From Little Lake to the beaches of Fourchon to Grand Isle to East Bay, there is considerable oil visible on the surface. Alarmingly, for as much oil as we were seeing, there were few clean up crews in site. Stretches of oil were floating just off the coast of Fourchon and there was not so much as a boom to protect the beach.

Our team has barely seen less than 1% of Gulf waters on our expeditions and we have encountered clear evidence of oil at each stop. Once again, the labsourced amber glass jars came out and triplicate grabs samples were collected along with water quality data. Our team of Sea Turtle Restoration Project staff and volunteers, representatives from National Wildlife Foundation, Mission Blue, Sea Shepherd, Oceanic Defense, Ocean Defenders, Gulf Wildlife Rescue Unit, World Animal Awareness Society, EcoRigs and FOX News had a satisfying day. We observed, reported, and sampled the BP oil spill at the surface and below the surface to uncover the truth. This massive catastrophe is too big for any one group to tackle alone, and we vowed to continue to work together to tell the unfolding story of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

A resident at the Landmark Condominiums, at the end of Beach Drive in Panama City, was taking a sunset walk along the bay Tuesday when he noticed a distressed bird on the shore. The bird was ringed with oil, and later identified by a BP Wildlife Recovery representative as a juvenile North American Gannet. The resident, Doug Christopher called BPâ€™s Oiled Animal Hotline and alerted the Wildlife Recovery Desk about the animal, giving them the location. However, when Christopher checked on the animal about two hours later, the bird appeared to be dead.

Christopherâ€™s spirits were buoyed Wednesday afternoon, when a BP representative at the Wildlife Recovery Desk left him a message indicating that the bird had been recovered, and was being taken to a rehab facility in Pensacola to be stabilized and de-oiled. When asked why he thought the bird was dead if, in fact,birds it hadwere beencoming still alive, Christopher replied, These from Queen Bess Island, Oil in the although there were booms around the oil, this Water, Birds, image shows how the conglomeration of oil around the booms.

The difference in the numbers highlighted the counting method used by the government, which includes only oiled birds collected for rehabilitation or whose dead carcasses are collected to use as evidence in the spill investigation. Oiled birds in the many nesting areas that dot the Gulf coast typically are left in place and not counted in official tallies. Marc Dantzker, one of the Cornell ornithologists, said efforts to protect the island with boom were insufficient.

With the Clyde B. Wells Bridge visible to the east, the air carried a heavy stench as 10-year-old Chandler Gibson emptied nets containing the scooped remains of a fish kill in Choctawhatchee Bay last Saturday. â€œI love to fish out here and he does too,â€• Chandler said, motioning to his 70-year-old Bay Grove Road neighbor. He and his sister initially discovered the fish kill, because of all the birds. â€œPlenty of dead fish, dead shrimp and I seen a few crabs and they were hiding in the rocks,â€• Chandler said. â€œI hate it.â€• To see photos of the fish kill, click here. In the middle of the conversation, the more than 100 pelicans, seagulls and heron that had been gorging on the numerous dead fish suddenly became spooked and flew a few hundred yards east. A survey of the water revealed a swiftly moving oily sheen with a foamy, bubbling substance with reddish stringy globs. A murky burnt red plume replaced the visible bottom.

But the EPA has found that exposure to 42 parts per million killed 50% of mysid shrimp within 4 days (and most of the remaining shrimp didn't last much longer).

A man we spoke with said his biggest concern is the dispersant that BP is using. He shared with us the following anecdote: the US Coast Guard fines individuals if they are caught putting dispersant into the water (he gave Dawn soap as an example). For every container of Dawn soap put into the water the Coast Guard fines the individual $32,000. He has witnessed people receiving this fine in the past. He was surprised that the Coast Guard charges individuals who use dispersants, while BP has been using gallons of them. An out of work fisherman informed us that a strong south wind could push the oil into Lafitte from Barataria Bay any day now.

While it's tough to find oil on the surface along the beaches in Mississippi, Hancock County EMA director, Brian Adam said oil is there, you just can't see it. &quot;We're still seeing tar balls everyday, and I'm not talking just a few tar balls. We're seeing a good amount everyday on the beaches,&quot; said Adam. He said a rock jetty near Waveland was covered in about 1,000 pounds of tar balls in just three days, and now there's been a disturbing discovery inside about a half a dozen full-sized crabs found near the mouth of Bay St. Louis. &quot;You could tell it was real slick and dark in color so I grabbed it, and opened the back of the crab, and you could see in the 'dead man' or the lungs of the crabs.. you could see the black,&quot; said Keith Ladner, longtime seafood supplier and owner of Gulf Shores Sea Products. HOPEDALE, LA.â€” In the small towns of coastal Louisiana, the widespread consensus is that the oil is far from gone. Fishermen return from working on cleanup crews or from recreational angling trips with stories of crabs whose lungs are black with oil, or of oysters with shells covered in sludge. They take photos and carry tarballs home like talismans to show what they have seen. They talk about their fears with anyone who will listen, and often their voices are tinged with panic. http://solveclimate.com/blog/20100811/louisian a-fishermen-slam-claims-oil-almost-gone-seafoodsafe

Thousands of dead fish have been found floating at the mouth of a shipping channel that connects the Port of New Orleans with the Gulf of Mexico. St. Bernard Parish President Craig Taffaro says the fish kill was found Sunday afternoon at the mouth of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, or MRGO. He says between 5,000 and 15,000 dead fish were found, collected in pockets of boom that was deployed in the area to block oil from the spill from the Deepwater Horizon rig. Taffaro said Monday that the species found dead included crabs, sting rays, eel, drum, speckled trout and red fish. There's no word on what caused the kill. Taffaro says they believe there's some recoverable oil in the area but can't specifically link it to that because there's also been some depleted oxygen issues in the area as well. The state Wildlife and Fisheries' marine division is sampling the water in hopes of finding a cause.

Large oil and dispersant plumes still linger, continually poisoning and destroying our precious oceans. Internal BP documents show that there were not one but TWO wells, raising the possibility that the ROV cameras may have never been placed near the real leak. I spoke to Project Gulf Impact about their trip and they had this to say: â€œIn some places you could see oil, in others it was clearly freshly sprayed dispersant. In certain areas there was a heavy chemical smell, in others it was oddly quiet.â€• â€œAs far as that trip goes, it was defintly the worse i have seen the dispersant. It was scarey because some of the dispersant was still in powder form which would indicate that it was from a plane.

The oil is in the form of tiny aggregates in the sediment, which Joye and her colleagues term &quot;marine snow&quot;. The snow was likely produced by biological breakdown, dispersant application, or a combination of both, Joye says. The team is doing experiments to determine how this material is generated. â€œIt looks like the benthic infauna [bottom burrowing creatures] were nuked by the oil snow storm,â€ she adds. â€œThe only things alive in the oil impacted sediments are the microbial flora, and they seem to be happy with all the carbon to eat.â€• Mass fish kill in north CHOCTAWHATCHEE BAY, half way between Pensacola and Panama City.

Heavy Crude Seen In Elmer's Island POSTED: 10:11 am CDT May 20, 2010 UPDATED: 2:34 pm CDT May 20, 2010GRAND ISLE, La. -* Images: Images: Jindal Tours Oil-Impacted Marshland Huge tar balls washed ashore on the beaches of Grand Isle on Thursday morning, and heavy crude oil was seen in nearby Elmer's Island, officials said. The arrival of oil is a dark omen for Grand Isle, a popular fishing and vacation village with several hundred permanent residents. Jefferson Parish Councilman Tom Capella said crude oil -- not the sticky blobs known as tar balls - had washed ashore in Elmer's Island, just west of Grand Isle. Tar balls were also reported in Port Fourchon on Thursday, exactly one month after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that has sent thousands of barrels of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico each day.

At the eastern reaches of the delta, where Pass a Loutre meets open water, dark brown oil was covering an entire patch of cane grass on Wednesday. On the open water, a dark-brown tint could be seen on grasses just above the water's surface. A few feet inside the marsh grass, where the currents move the water less, there was a thick coating of oil -- much different from the random, smaller clumps of oil or thin sheens seen during the past two weeks across Louisiana's coastline. &quot;This is a small area,&quot; said Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser. &quot;If this comes in in waves and goes farther inland into the marsh, we'll be 25 to 30 years, if ever, recovering from this.&quot; Nungesser and Gov.

Oil is washing up on Elmer's Island off lower Jefferson Parish, a wildlife refuge and popular spot for bird-watching and beach camping, a Jefferson Parish official said. Councilman Tom Capella said this morning that oil from the BP rig explosion has washed up on the island just west of Grand Isle. Capella was traveling to Grand Isle, where tar balls washed ashore this morning, to attend a 12:30 p.m. news conference with Gov. Bobby Jindal. Jindal declared the island a wildlife refuge in 2008 and reopened it for public use for the first time since 2002, when a private access road was closed. A six-mile stretch of beach, sand dunes and marsh ponds between Fourchon Beach and Caminada Pass, Elmer's Island had been prized for decades as one of the few road-accessible beaches in eastern Louisiana.

The state had received reports of oil sheen in the area and a team visited the island. Scientists confirmed that emulsified oil, about 200 yards long, was on the shore. The oil will be tested to determine whether it is from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Vermilion Parish, SW Louisiana May 28, 2010 Abbeville Meridional Newspaper reported that OEP Director Becky Broussard confirmed that BP oil had washed up on the beaches of Chenier au Tigre in Vermilion Parish. The oil was discovered on 5/20 by Timmy Vincent, Sr Mgr of Paul J. Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary. More than a dozen miles offshore, researchers from the Dauphin Island Sea Lab reported seeing more rust-colored swaths of oil spattering the surface of the Gulf. They ranged from the size of half-dollar coins to 30 or 40 feet long, said John Dindo, the laboratory's associate director.

Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon said Wednesday the Coast Guard refused permission to close the pass. Residents of the Alabama beach resort near the Florida line loudly protested that bay waters and beaches had been left vulnerable. A Coast Guard spokesman, Cmdr. Chuck Diorio, said there are a number of considerations when closing a navigable waterway such as Perdido Pass. He said keeping the boom system alreay in place was viewed as the best method at the time But he said more vessels and people have been shifted to Perdido and the situation is being constantly reviewed.

They tell the tale far better than BP would like. We had to fly at 3,000 feet due to a 'temporary flight restriction' that has been in place since the BP drilling disaster began. For clarity's sake, we may want to refer to this as a 'media flight restriction,' no media flights have gotten approval to fly over the oil impacts, and the area that's closed has expanded exponentially, now keeping people out of the air over most of Southeast Louisiana. Our pilots have been told by BP representatives that we can't fly into these areas, once they find out we're with environmental groups and we have cameras. At 3,000 feet you need an awfully long lens and an awfully clear day to get any decent shots, but our photographer really captured powerful images on thistotrip.

Jackson County emergency management director Donald Langham says tar balls and a patch of oil were spotted at the St. Andrews beach and at the Lake Mars pier in Gulf Park Estates. Langham says cleanup teams are on the scene and two skimming vessels are working. State Department of Environmental Quality spokesman Robbie Wilbur says additional patches of oil sheen were spotted in the water during aerial flights Sunday. In recent days, more oil has been finding its way into Mississippi's waters and barrier islands. Louisiana, Alabama and Florida have all been seeing oil wash up already. Looks to be about a 5 acre area of oil near the north end of the Twin Spans. Can be seen to the east of the bridge. Unclear if it is BP oil or a local spill from the construction site.

We saw plenty of freshly oil-soaked grass and beach. The strong harsh smell of crude filled the air as we neared. The oil had washed up in waves, covering a large patch of grass here, leaving a clean patch beside it there. Fields of oil glistened as the sun picked up the oil's sheen. We walked along a shell beach on the south end of Oyster Bayou speckled throughout with fresh tar balls that reached from the reeds to inside the water's edge. Kermit's friend Buddy used an oar to dig below the beach surface, revealing more oil beneath. A boy fishes off of Mars Beach in Ocean Springs while pools of oil form under the sand on the beach.

Published: August 6, 2010 Updated: 08/06/2010 08:06 pm Just because the oil was cleaned up from the beaches doesn't mean it's gone. The opposite is true, a University of South Florida professor says. In fact, he estimates cleanup work along Panhandle beaches and elsewhere across the Gulf Coast has removed only about 25 percent of the oil that has stained the shorelines. &quot;Twenty-five percent is pretty generous,'' said Ping Wang, an associate professor of geology at USF. &quot;I stand behind my numbers.'' The oil came up in so many different forms â€“ tar balls, tar patties, tar cakes, oil sheets and oil stains â€“ that it was difficult, if not impossible, for workers to get up all of it either by hand or with machines, Wang said. Much oil remains on or in those formerly pristine sands, heand said.

In a Thursday morning e-mail to local government leaders, a U.S. Coast Guard official acknowledged that what had washed up was being classified as subsurface oil -- something that cleanup officials have been slow to acknowledge. &quot;We've been saying there's submerged oil coming into (Perdido Pass) for some time and (BP PLC) completely dismissed our concerns and our accounts,&quot; said Orange Beach Mayor Kennon. &quot;Hopefully this proves we're not a bunch of dummies.&quot; Since early last week BP has rejected claims from Orange Beach that city contractors are regularly encountering and collecting oil from inshore waters, including Cotton Bayou, Terry Cove and Bayou St. John, city officials said. &quot;BP keeps telling us there is no oil, to skim or otherwise, we by keep there Patches of oil and 50 feet 30 telling feet inthem the marsh grass on Turtle Pen Isle 0.7 miles east-northeast of Deadman's Bayou.

Material washing ashore from Perdido Pass to Petit Bois Island not oil, scientists say Published: Sunday, August 22, 2010, 5:30 AM Updated: Sunday, August 22, 2010, 11:02 AM Scientists are intrigued by the heavy sheen and persistent clouds of dingy brown water washing up in pockets from Perdido Pass to Petit Bois Island since July. Waves carrying the brown water ashore leave a conspicuous amber stain on the white sand. A recent snorkeling trip along Fort Morgan found the bottom just offshore covered in a fine layer of brown residue. The residue is not oil, according to chemical analysis. But it probably used to be. Puzzled by samples collected by the PressRegister since July, Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University scientist conducting oil analysis for the federal government, sent two researchers to accompany the newspaper to areas where the brown material was coming ashore in early August. Water and residue samples were collected from the tip of Dauphin Island to about five miles down the Ft. Morgan peninsula. â€œItâ€™s the weirdest thing Iâ€™ve ever seen.

On Thursday, we collected a second round of samples from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, and for the first time, we've collected samples from Perdido Key, Florida and a favorite fishing spot just off the Causeway in Mobile Bay. We delivered the samples to Bob Naman, a local chemist with nearly 30 years of experience on the Gulf Coast. Naman, who told us water and sand on the Gulf should contain no more than 5 parts per million (ppm) of oil, tested our water samples for oil and grease and our sand samples for total petroleum hydrocarbons. According to the tests, our water samples taken near the shoreline of Mobile Bay and from Perdido Key were clean with less than one ppm of oil. Water collected from Orange Beach and Gulf Shores were also significantly cleaner than we tested the water two weeks ago.

When oil came in over the booms later, the staff notified the appropriate people at Joint Incident Command so that the oiled boom could be removed and replaced by fresh absorbent boom at the highest priority sites, including Queen Bess Island. Evidently, the oiled boom has been on the island, in the habitat, and near nests for a couple of weeks. The lack of responsiveness has caused the field rescue team frustration and concern, and this was evident yesterday.

This bird was not visible Water, Oil to us when we first reached the boom around the Onshore, island, but was there when we finished our circuit. Birds, We eased the boat nearer to the oiled pelican, which eyed us warily but allowed a fairly close approach. An LDWF staff person got into the water to approach the pelican. The idea was to either net the pelican where it sat or, if it moved, to send it toward the water, away from the rest of the nest colony. But, the pelican had other ideas. It moved farther into the colony within the Laughing Gull and Tri-colored Heron nests. The rescuer had to walk between nests carefully, pushing dozens of birds off their nests, to herd the pelican toward the water. This was successful, and it swam to another place on the island and climbed laboriously onto land. From here, the pelican was again herded gently toward water, and then we had to use the boat to herd the pelican away from the colony. At this point, the captain drove close enough to the pelican for LDWF staff to scoop it up in a net, grab the bill to prevent it from biting, and then to gently hoist the bird into the boat, where it was carefully transferred to a crate. It was closed in, and a cover was put across much of the front of the crate to give it a safe, hidden place to rest for transport.&quot; -Louisiana Coastal Initiative ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oil in the Bird nesting grounds threatened by oil overtopping booms. queen bess island

Two weeks ago, as federal officials prepared to declare that some three-quarters of the estimated 5 million barrels of oil released into the Gulf over three months had disappeared, Mark Williams, a fishing boat captain hired by BP to help with the spill cleanup, encountered tar balls as large as three inches wide floating off the Florida coast. Reporting his findings to his supervisor, a private consulting company hired by BP, the reply, according to his logbook came back: &quot;Toldâ€”no reporting of oil or tar balls anymore. Don't put on report. We're here for boom removal only,&quot; referring to the miles of yellow and orange containment barriers placed throughout the Gulf.

The main difference is Ocean Springs is populated and is home to many professional shrimpers, fishermen and crabbers whose lives have been turned upside down by the spill.Oil appeared to be coming up from under the sand in many places. It may have been covered by tides, as it worked its way back to the water after being pushed up into the marsh, effectively contaminating small inlet waterways.

BP promised clean-up crews never came to clean the oil mats. Some of these mats are now being covered with sand, some washed back out.

Onshore, Odor, Marine Yesterday evening a wave of weathered crude oil Wildlife, washed up on the beach in front of where I live (between the 2 and 3 mile markers on the Gulf side of Ft. Morgan). Oil mats covered 2-3 feet from the low tide line by 9 pm. I am attaching pics. Though there are almost no birds on the beach now, a lone black skimmer was feeding in the oiled water last night. Coquina clams have been dying in large #s for weeks now. This morning at high tide we have lots of tarballs (last pic). I called the 1-800-424-8802 number to report the smell and oil mats, then the BP (866) 448-5816 number to report the oil mats. I asked that a cleaning crew be sent to clean last night whale the temps were down, tide was low (and thus oil exposed) and before the tide came in. They made sympathetic noises, but I have seen no clean-up crew. The regular patrol raced down the beach this morning around 7 am (as usual) so fast they could not possibly see anything. The next patrol shortly after went slower but they were driving up near the houses and so far from the water they could not possibly see the tar balls. I wonder why

Despite persistent denials from BP last week, thousands of pounds of weathered oil is being pulled from under the surface of Pensacola Bay every day. During more than a dozen interviews last week, BP officials and spokespeople for a number of government agencies working on the Deepwater Horizon Oil spill response denied knowledge of oil in the bay. Even as they spoke, however, Escambia County officials and local fishermen were reporting finding weathered oil, as they've been doing for weeks. BP's own crews were hand-scooping it up, and a submerged-oil team from BP's Deepwater Horizon Response Incident Command Post in Mobile was investigating. &quot;BP says it's all gone, but it's not. I've known it was out there for a month,&quot; said a commercial fisherman who asked not to be identified because he is working for BP in the cleanup and feared losing his job.We were recovering it in a boat ... scooping it up out of sand and dumping it into bags. They're just trying to keep it quiet. Out of sight, out of mind.&quot; On Friday, Coast Guard Lt. Stephen West with the

Pliable and smooth to the touch, they looked like nothing so much as bits of charcoal. Some were smaller than a dime, others up to 2 inches across. Rubbing them between your fingers for a moment produced an odor akin to lighter fluid. Dauphin Island officials said tarballs began washing up around noon. By 8 p.m., officials responding to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill released a press release announcing that samples from the island had been sent to a lab for analysis. Press-Register reporters found what were best described as tar patties spread over several miles of beachfront. They were flat and irregularly shaped. Some appeared to have been worn smooth after tumbling in the surf, while the smaller pieces had jagged edges, as if they had broken off from larger hunks.

Oil at 2nd barrier island off Terrebonne Parish By The Associated Press May 13, 2010, 2:01PM oil-spill-beach-chandeleur.JPGMatthew Hinton / The Times-PicayuneA rusty coat of oil lines the shore of one of the Chandeleur Islands on Saturday. Louisiana officials say oily debris from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has washed up on Raccoon Island. The state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries describes the island as one of the coast's most important waterbird nesting areas. It's just west of Whiskey Island, where authorities said Wednesday that oil had been found. While photos from Whiskey Island showed the thick, glossy globs called tar balls, those from Raccoon Island showed oil globules with blackened sand around them. The photos were taken Wednesday but made public Thursday. Both islands are in the Terrebonne Barrier Islands Refuge. They're the westernmost points oil has been found so far. Oil was found earlier at South Pass and the

PORT FOURCHON, La. â€” Louisiana wildlife officials say huge tar balls have littered the beach at Port Fourchon, some of them 8 inches across. Laura Deslatte, a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, said Friday that the glossy globs were found along the entire beach at Port Fourchon. Workers from her department have not yet seen so much oil washed up anywhere else. A news release said that on Thursday, biologists found about 25 nickel-sized tar balls per square foot from the beach's southwestern end to its midpoint. They also found more than a dozen tar balls on the banks of Belle Pass, a few hundred yards north of the waterway's mouth. A Coast Guard spokesman also says significant amounts of oil have washed onto the Chandeleur Islands â€” part of a national wildlife refuge.

There were clean-up crews walking in formation (straight line) picking up debris as they went. Possibly a training session to prepare them for when oil hits? They were wearing hazmat yellow boots and were working within feet of sunbathers.

The final worker coming off the beach said that they were instructed to remove debris that had oil on it and thus the matter in the bags was oiled debris.

Pictures- Two are of the worker line, the other, I literally turned around to snap a shot of the beach where people were sunbathing and swimming.

Once again, we stopped to ask a worker what they were doing, specifically asking if they were cleaning up oily debris and they responded, &quot;I don't know anything about any oil.&quot;

At the moment Grand Isle State Park is not seeing Oil Onshore, the oil slick that is affecting other areas of the Louisiana coast. Grand Isle State Park, located roughly nineteen miles to the northeast of Port Fourchon, where the oil slick has made landfall, appears to benefit by its location on the Louisiana coastline. Grand Isle is positioned on a section of wetlands that curves northward, with Port Fourchon to the southwest and the wetlands of the Mississippi River delta to the southeast. These areas have begun to see the oil slick wash ashore. Although the oil slick has not made landfall at the state park, preparations for the impending slick have begun. Oil booms have been deployed along the inlet between Grand Isle State Park and Isle Grande Terre leading to Bay Des Ilettes. While the oil slick has not found its way to the state park, numerous tar balls were discovered along the public beach located in the park. The origins of the tar balls are unknown at this time.

THIBODAUX â€” Mud-colored oil washed up on large stretches of Fourchon Beach late this afternoon, a Lafourche Parish government spokesman said.

Described as &quot;heavy oil&quot; by Lafourche spokesman Brennan Matherne, the oil is covering about 6 to 8 miles of Fourchon Beach, which stretches for about 15 miles along the parish's southern tip.

â€œIt's a dark, reddish brown,â€•Matherne said. â€œIt looks a lot like the tar balls that washed up earlier this week, it's just a lot more extensive coverage.â€•

All were taken 4 days ago in Cameron Parish. Oil Onshore, Some were not on Holly Beach, but just east along the road. It is not a particular beach , just pulled over and saw these. I also spotted 2 OTHER tar balls. They were harder than the others I found. My name is Candice Alexander and i am a louisiana Lake charles resident. These photos were taken BY ME. . Photo 1. Dead Man of War- Cameron. There are several i spotted along the coast all over cameron. Photo 2. Dead Man of War Photo 3 Dead Man of War Photo 4. A VERY LOOSE FRESH TAR BALL. CAMERON Photo 5-8Dead Man of War This tar ball was dense, but sort of oozing, as you can tell the shells stuck to it. Now_ my theory is that if there are loose tar balls- the shells will stick to them, and ultimately cover the tar balls up..

Took family to the beach, not knowing what to expect; even brought ziploc bags so I could bring home tar balls. At the Public Beach, however, all looked normal -- no tar balls, no weird smells, no recovery crews, and I could not spot any booms. the sand here has always been white like sugar. now its like sugar with pepper flakes. maybe im being paranoid.. but ive lived here for nearly 20 years and its not ever been like this. see pics.

A Coast Guard official said on Monday that it was possible that the oil hitched a ride on a ship and was not carried naturally by currents to the barrier islands of the eastern Texas coast, but there was no way to know for sure. 24 0 26Share The amount discovered is tiny compared to what has coated beaches so far in the hardest-hit parts of the Gulf Coast in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. It still provoked the quick dispatch of cleaning crews and a vow that BP will pay for the trouble. &quot;Any Texas shores impacted by the Deepwater willofbe cleaned up and Tarballs andspill globs weathered oilquickly covered theBP Oil Onshore, beach along the waveline.

Growing up on the beaches of Bolivar Peninsula, near Galveston, Texas, we occasionally saw hard, black balls of &quot;tar&quot; wash up on the shore, but nothing like these very fresh-looking balls of brown oil, photographed July 10, 2010. Plant life washed up all along the shores of Bolivar that week as well, closely resembling banana tree limbs, were also coated in a sticky, oily film. Coast Guard and County trucks were spotted nearby investigating the issue, and clean-up crews were spotted further up the beach toward Crystal Beach. However little seems to be being done to clean up the mess in Bolivar. CNN producer note BolivarLocal, a lifelong resident of Bolivar Peninsula, Texas, found tar balls and oil covered objects while at the beach with her family. BolivarLocal found the oil to be unusual and frightening. - ccostello3, CNN iReport producer While mapping, saw nesting gulls in marsh area that was covered in a 20x20 feet area of oil slick. Workers were laying booms and tried to intimidate us to leave the area.

Oil Onshore,

We were on the beach on sunday at Coco Beach Oil Onshore, with our baby and noticed a wide line with reddish tint integrated with the sand in the sand about a foot wide as the tide went out. Our foot prints were outlined in it. The sand seemed stickier than normal to wash off. &lt;img Oil Onshore, src=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GZVKpHfInR4/T DtVUUbPQNI/AAAAAAAABJE/s7bwa8rNb98/1278 956750638.jpg?imgmax=320&quot; /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Crews hard at work... but no oil as far as I could see! Johnson's beach just as beautiful as it was growing up here!&lt;/p&gt; After begging to have oil removed from our beach Oil Onshore, before an overwash came (and then afterwards, now two days before the election and the eve of the Buffet concert we had cleaning crews hand clean and then mechanical sifters. Property owners differ in what they wanted in terms of removal. Rental property owners and those who do not own waterfront property wanted mechanical sifters to come so the beach would look good. Waterfront residents/nonrental property owners wanted hand sifting (which never happened-only shovel removal-along with lots of sand) and NO big machines. In Gulf Shores apparently waterfront property owners were phoned to ask permission to clean their property. This did not happen for Ft. Morgan property owners (at least in our area). Although I thought that we had finally gotten some positive response to the BP &amp; EPA folks driving over dune areas and upper beach when the Natural Resources team was assigned (according to Susan Oller to protect the natural resources - dunes mainly) and the team had installed a flag/stake system demarcating the more fragile areas not to be driven over, this system was removed on the 10th (against the protests of local residents. We did not realize why until we awoke at 11 PM to find mechanical sifters driving down the beach and over areas previously demarcated as fragile.... BP

Small 1/4&quot; to 1/2&quot; flattened tar balls Oil Onshore, on beach intermittently. To the right of the pier, facing the ocean and across from the parking lot, there appeared to be a vast amount of oil collected and being covered by sand by bulldozers/compactors/earthmovers. It was behind the natural berm area, there were no signs posted and the dark liquid was in a long pit shapeabout 15-20' long and maybe 6-9' across.

Many min tar balls on the rocks after the tide. http://www.flickr.com/photos/worldworldworld/ 4809187905/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/worldworldworld/ 4809828012/ Oil on rocks, plants, 2 small pools of oil Oil Onshore, (5&quot;x15&quot;) left on upper part of rocky shoreline. Boom is around the marsh area. A fisherman and pier operator reported that the oil was thick in the marsh 2 weeks prior. The beach and marsh area had boom around it, there was no oil I could see in the submerged areas, but the drier land (rocks, plants, etc.) up from there had oil on rocks, small pools of oil, oil on plants, etc., I am guessing the tide went out, left the oil there, and then boom was placed around the whole area, about 10 feet surrounding the marsh area and up onto the beach for about 100 yards or so. Maybe the water level isn't coming up as high as it did because of the boom being there now, leaving the oil that is there in place.

&lt;p&gt;clean there are unseen dispersants in Oil Onshore, the water plus thousands of tar balls under the surface sand for example on a so called beautiful clean day i still removed 11 bags of tar personally so this is my opinion stay out of the water i hate this&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;oil on the beach.&lt;/p&gt; Oil Onshore, &lt;img Oil Onshore, src=&quot;http://lh4.ggpht.com/_GZVKpHfInR4/T E3dSViRUVI/AAAAAAAABY8/8_CVp65tFS8/12801 71280738.jpg?imgmax=320&quot; /&gt; &lt;p&gt;clean up crews patrolling the beach looking for oil.

HORN ISLAND, Miss. -- Weeks after BP capped its runaway well, a greasy band of oil appeared on the grasses fringing Garden Pond, a previously pristine interior marsh. Glops of deep brown oil floated on the surface of the saltwater pond Saturday and appeared to be scarcely weathered, compared to much of the oil that has come ashore. The oil penetrated deep into the green marsh grass, coating the stalks from the mud to about 18 inches up. The stain on the grass around the pond looked like a dirty black ring that one might see in a bathtub, although the grass still seemed vigorous. Horn Island is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore run by the National Park Service, which includes Petit Bois, Ship and Cat islands, as well as land in Florida. The undeveloped island is open to the public but accessible only by boat.

The discovery, made over the weekend by a dive team, raises questions about how much oil might be present on the island, but hidden below the surface. &quot;It's (like) Jed Clampet's oil,&quot; laments P.J. Hahn, the Plaquemines Parish Coastal Zone Director. &quot;All we need is the theme song to &quot;The Beverly Hillbillies.&quot; Hahn accompanied the divers as they searched for oil in the water column or on the sea floor, a task made impossible by murky waters close to the islands. &quot;We really didn't get any good video shots,&quot; Hahn said, until one of the dive team members stepped on a hole dug by a Hermit Crab. &quot;Oil just started bubbling out.&quot; They used a piece of grass like a dipstick, which drew no oil to the surface. Then, Hahn says they stuck a larger stick down the hole and found oil deeper under the surface.

â€œIsolated and sporadic shoreline impacts may continue as oil that remains in the Gulf of Mexico continues to break down and biodegrade,â€•said U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Steven Poulin, Mobile Incident Commander. â€œWe remain fully committed to this response and will remove any oily material from beaches as quickly as possible so that people can continue to enjoy the beauty of the Gulf Coast.â€• The presence of mousse oil (oil in an emulsified state) mixed with oily seaweed and trash was reported late in the afternoon, and cleanup crews were immediately dispatched to the impacted area. Thorough assessments of beaches and back bays in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi are underway to locate any additional oily material that may have been washed up by the storm. Though the tropical depression in the Gulf fizzled, Oil Onshore, what was left of the storm on Thursday morning was enough to churn up submerged oil and carry it ashore, staining tide lines into Baldwin County's beaches and depositing sporadic clumps of soiled sargassum and tarballs.

GULF SHORES, Alabama - For the first time in Oil Onshore, more than five weeks, oil has impacted Gulf Shores. On Wednesday, massive amounts of oil and tar washed up near the pier at Gulf State Park, turning the sugar-white beaches an ugly brown.

WALTON COUNTY - Officials from the Federal Oil Onshore, Environmental Protection Agency were on Walton Countyâ€™s Beaches this week digging holes and finding oil product as deep as 14 inches under the sand. According to the operations and response website, Floridadisater.org, the sand also contained pea-size tar balls that were weathered and have been present for an extended period. Cleanup crews were gone by 1:30 p.m. because of the day's heat. The Tuesday evening report came from the westend curve of Scenic Highway 30A.

Sarco focuses on the hermit crabs seen struggling in huge oil slicks along the park's beach. She has rescued over 7,000 hermit crabs. As we observe her process today, we notice oil on the back beach that BP has never cleaned. The oil now oozes into the ground. If a shovel is used to dig down a foot or two, a layer of pure oil is exposed. In some locations, one shovel full reveals the oil. Low tide shows oiled sand bars along this national park beach. We are told that all surrounding islands share this condition.

HORN ISLAND, MS (WLOX) â€“ Officials and Oil Onshore, scientists from the state of Mississippi and BP weren't the only ones on Horn Island Wednesday. An investigative team from Greenpeace also walked the beaches to see how the barrier island is faring in the wake of the Gulf oil disaster. And they have a very different assessment of how the cleanup is progressing. Science Coordinator Adam Walters and Senior Oceans Campaigner Phil Kline dug small holes in the sand and discovered layers of oiled sand less than a foot below the surface. They also found tar balls at various stages of weathering and various sizes on both the leeward and windward sides of the islands. &quot;BP keeps telling us that the oil has been cleaned up,&quot; Kline said. &quot;This is outrageous. Horn Island is a habitat for birds and turtles, and BP will not be able to attempt a cleanup without risking irreparable damage to those habitats. The oil and dispersants, plus new invasive clean up methods using bulldozers will put this sensitive ecosystem over the edge.&quot; Those &quot;invasive clean up methods&quot; were painted in a much different light by BP's Chief Operating Officer Mike Utsler.

While walking on a beach in an area heading Oil Onshore, toward South pass, we got stuck in 2 Birds, Marine &quot;baby&quot; sinkholes of oil buried beneath Wildlife, the sand. We started poking the holes with sticks and oil came oozing out. The first sinkhole was 4 feet wide and 6&quot; deep. The second sinkhole was 2x2 diameter. The tide must be bringing in sand covering up the oil. This beach had old oil and fresh oil in spots around the beach. Also on the same beach we found one seagull with a dime sized orange spot on the side of his head - the orange is oil and dispersant mix. The gull died before we could get him back to town. We also found 2 dead turtles - all that was left were the shells - and 3 dead juvenile crabs turned upside down. Retired port commissioner and resident of Grand Oil Onshore, Isle reports that that Grand Isle &quot;used to be Cultural Loss, an up-beat community, but now people have lost their love of the island.&quot; People were &quot;heartbroken when the beach was closed&quot;. &quot;Generally, fishing and the ocean is a way of life and a source of community for the residents.&quot; He says there is a tension between the coast guard &amp; the national guard.

Oysters sampled from a reef on Oyster Bayou in Atchafalaya Bay contained 8,815 mg/kg Hydrocarbons. At the mouth of Pass-a-Loutre, in the reed Oil Onshore, vegetation along the shore of an island, a Marine sediment sample was collected. The sediment Wildlife, contained 71 mg/kg Hydrocarbons and 14 PAHs (0.8713 mg/kg). The PAHs in the sample weakly support that the contaminants in the sediment are associated with the crude oil from the Deepwater Horizon. A muscle sample collected at this location contained 6,900 mg/kg Hydrocarbons and seven PAHs (0.386 mg/kg). A sample of oysters was collected from oysters growing on an abandoned crab trap between Pass-a-Loutre and Redfish Bay. The oysters contained 12,500 mg/kg (1.25%) Hydrocarbons and two PAHs (0.063 mg/kg). Along a beach area near Redfish Bay, samples were collected from a stained area along a sandy beach area and from a vegetated area behind the beach. The beach area had clean-up waste materials and supplies left behind by cleanup crews. A small water body adjacent to the beach had a boom in the water and a small boat used to place the poles that secured the boom was stained with oil. The beach area contained a number of tar balls. The sandy soil sample contained Carbon

It has been months since the initial oil washed up Oil Onshore, on the shore. BP and the government would like Marine us to believe that the problem is gone, the oil Wildlife, dispersed or evaporated, and the beaches clean. Oil beneath the surface of the ocean is no less damaging than oil on the shore. Even in small concentrations it can be harmful, and with the amount that is likely in the Gulf, I imagine there will be dramatic effects on many of the marine life populations: the delicate plankton, the whales, the fish, the sensitive deep sea corals and sponges. Today, I saw Horn Island, off the coast of Mississippi, covered in tarballs, a painful, visual reminder that this devastating catastrophe isn't over. Just as we had seen in the early weeks of the spill, this island showed all the signs of a delicate habitat at substantial risk. We saw a turtle nest just a few feet away from tarballs; we dug in the sand a few feet and found layers of black sand beneath the surface. It was clear that this small island would be changed forever. Even though most of the oil has never even made landfall and we're just seeing the tiniest percent of the problem, still we see the absolute futility of our attempts to mitigate the effects of the spill. It is enormous, out of control, and impossible to clean and it is outrageous that wewas are blowing being On theup, beach early evening the wind Oil Onshore, from the SE strong chemical odor, possible Odor, dispersed oil found in sea foam on beach next to the Veterans memorial off Colman ave.

We found many possible tar balls, one unmistakable tar ball that got stuck to my glove, some black smelly stuff with the consistency of silly puddy, and some very odd areas where black muck seemed to seep up out of the sand. It is possible, and I am hoping, that the later was organic matter. We dawned gloves and took samples and pictures of everything that looked out of place. We also saw a couple of dead fish, but that is really not that unusual for this area. I'm hoping to find a way to have our samples analyzed.

Between 10,000 to 13,000 barrels of oil have been cleaned from the BP spill site using controlled burns, according to an expert who is leading the cleanup effort on that front. The deep-sea well, which exploded on April 20, is leaking about 210,000 gallons of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico.

To stop the oil from leaking from the broken pipe, all you need to do is insert a catheter like pipe. Once the pipe is in place, inflate the seal around the pipe and the oil is forced into the new pipe that was inserted into the broken pipe. To Whom It May Concern, Solutions and Ideas,

Solutions and Ideas,

Please contact Me! I have a plan that Could coral the escaping oil. I am a retired MOBIL employee with many years on platforms. Onshore .Pipelines etc. My plan is simple. Construct a very large parachute shaped flexible tent with an oil collection point at the apex and with a collection tube to the surface. Vessels at the surface would collect the rising oil and pump it into tanks. As the oil leaves the leak point the pressure drops the oil rises and is corralled within the tent shaped capture parachute . the rising oil inflates the system and is constantly pumped to the waiting vessels. The oil tent/parachute is anchored to the seabed and completely covers the leaks. For additional information contact Ray ODocharty Retired engineer. Groesbeck ,Texas 254 729 2962 OR email at rayjerod@embarqmail.com Ps this would not stop the leak ,however it would stop the spread of oil until a bypass could be drilled. We have seen all the reports on the news and Solutions and such about the oil spill and how they have been Ideas, trying to stop it. Well my family and I were talking about it and we came up with a solution to stop it. Here is our solution. We were thinking that in order to stop the oil spill. First you could pile sandbags on top of the hole to slow it down, then you pour gravel on top of that to act as a heavy plug and third to seal it you top it off with hydraulic cement. If you could get this information to the right people I think it will be most helpful. I have it on good authority that human hair will Solutions and pull oil off surface, maybe if enough people cut Ideas, their hair and donated it we could salvage some of our precious coastal habitats. Supposedly this idea was patented and bought by U.S. government agency, following &quot;Exxon Valdez&quot; disaster.

Message: Has anyone considered using industrial hydrogen peroxide (approx 50% concentration) to help destroy oil in the Gulf spill? There are likely several ways to use it in this application. Peroxide is often used in environmental remediation to oxidize petroleum into CO2 and water. One big problem with the spill is the dissolved oxygen in the water will be used up. Peroxide can help restore the dissolved oxygen and will help oxidize the dispersed oil. At the very least, peroxide could be applied at the edges/perimeter of the plume to attack the oil and or dispersants as they move outward into new areas, or close to shore. Again, interception/containment strategies such as this are pretty standard in the environmental engineering area. Get a bunch of barges full of it out there and dump it in and grab some water samples, you will find out quick. Call an industrial peroxide vendor like FMC, etc. they will be happy to provide you with information, costs, etc. Too expensive? Who cares - let BP foot the bill.

I am attempting to contact some people that may have influence in the control of the clean-up of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I have tried to get the EPA, FEMA and BP to listen to me. It appears that the &quot;experts&quot; are only willing to use their outdated and overwhelmed technology.

Before working for the IDNR, I had years of study and have conducted many experiments in hydrophobic attraction and oliophilic absorption of petroleum from water. I believe that I have a simple, environmentally safe and reasonably inexpensive method of absorbing the crude oil that is reaching land along the Gulf Coast.

the way to stop it

Solutions and Ideas,

50.45333

3.948737 YES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The way to stop the spillage is to &quot;build&quot; around the polluted area. This becomes harder and harder as the time passes because it spreads. It could be put simply in 4 steps 1. Oil is lighter than water so it stays near the surface. Thus, a floating wall can be &quot;build&quot; around the perimeter. This means the wall will not reach the bottom of the ocean (and it is not necessary since oil stays at the surface of the ocean). 2. This wall would be made of nylon. There would be &quot;balloons&quot; on the top part of the wall. There would also be weights at the bottom part of the wall so it does not fluctuate due to the currents. 3. An important thing is that the wall surrounds all of the polluted area. Yes, this would be expensive but efficient. 4, When the wall is finished, refining ships will cleanse the water and everything would be back to normal.

There is a product called Oil Spill Eater II that has Solutions and been used all over the world in the past 20 years Ideas, to break up oil enzymatically and make it less toxic rather than making it sink to the bottom out of site. http://www.abc26.com/videobeta/bacb5f5c81d1-4a12-8b44-c5c3c476607d/News/Oil-EaterThe-Oil-Spill-Solution The idea has been submitted to BP several times, but no one will even consider it, more than likely due to cost effectiveness. Reading the toxicity data from the company's website, it seems that it would be MUCH safer than dispersants currently being used.

aide attempt for wetland life Message: Please ask Billy Nungesser to blow or scatter (perhaps behind the fan ofan air boat) peat moss throughout the tar covered swamp and wetland areas that are covered in tar and oil with birds still living on them. The peat will cling to the tar with a nutrient rich base that may prevent the feathers of the birds from being tarred as they pass through the grasses and reeds. Feather the tar with peat moss, before it (further) tars the feathers of the birds. Same everywhere. Coat it with peat. Please just try a small area. Please. The clinging nutrient peat may also aid in the insulation and of some of the grasses, from the affects of the oil. The peat can 'bind with' and draw away poison, perhaps allowing a chance for the grass to come back through. &quot;PLEASE TRY TODAY&quot; (Saturday)

How To Cut The Drilling Interception Time/depth

I believe one can shorten well drilling intercept time by a significant amount by additions to/or changes in the drilling plan. Part of the procedure will prevent further casing blowouts and reduce the depth required to inject the one million, one hundred thousand pound column of mud (actually, only the 9 5/8â€•diameter portion X 13,000 feet) above the reservoir to counteract hydrostatic pressure, estimated bymethods some at to The following are some suggested Solutions and clean up both large and near shore oil slicks.

This makes sense and is so simple, no one in the Solutions and government or oil industry thought of it. It took Ideas, two good old boys from Mississippi to come up with it. The complete Gulf Coast should be lined with hay so the birds and fish will have a chance. I don't see why they cannot put hay on barges with large industrial fans powered by a generator to blow the hay into the water and soak it up out in the Gulf. At least they can put it along the coastline. This will help the farmers sell their hay.

I am reminded of a lady in Slidell who is 'stranded' within the confines of her home, with 3 boys, due to the ill effects of going outside. With children out of school for these hot Summer months, and their natural playground now rendered toxic, I would think it in BP's 'better interest' to take some mitigating action, regarding the health and safety of these human lives. I might suggest to BP some temporary relocation for those who desire it, until N.O. air quality can be brought back (at least) to pre-Deep W.Horizon breatheable levels.

FDA officials defended the agencyâ€™s method, saying that its tests showed unequivocally that seafood from the Gulf was safe to eat and should be returned to the market place. A primary factor in the limit the FDA set on cancercausing PAHs â€” polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons â€” in Gulf seafood was the agencyâ€™s estimate of how much seafood people eat. For the Gulf spill, the FDA assumed an adult eats about 3 pounds of fish per month, and about 1.6 pounds total of shrimp, crabs and oysters. Such consumption rates offer a built in-safety net, the FDA says, because the agency believes only 10 percent of the people in the U.S. eat that much seafood in a month.

BATON ROUGE (May 19, 2010) - A Kempâ€™s Ridley sea turtle was recovered by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries biologists late last night after the animal was spotted by biologists in oily waters off the coast of Louisiana.

According to LDWF biologists, the exterior of the turtle was heavily oiled. Oil samples collected from the sea turtle are currently being tested to determine if the oil is from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

This Kempâ€™s Ridley is the first rescued oilimpacted sea turtle reported and was discovered approximately 33 nautical miles offshore. Biologists spotted the barely two-pound turtle around 6 p.m. in the Gulf of Mexico. After loading the turtle onto an LDWF vessel, he was transported to shore and brought to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services headquarters building in Venice, La. LDWF biologists then transported the turtle by truck to the Louisiana Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Rescue Program in New Orleans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wildlife, Marine lots of dead large fish &amp; sharks washed up in Wildlife, long beach, ms

John Bothwell, senior research officer at the Department of Environment, said Friday the deaths are not believed to be related to the massive oil spill fouling the Gulf of Mexico because the slick has not been spotted in the area. Additionally, he said, all the dead fish are the same size and apparently the same species. An oil slick would likely affect others as well. &quot;Honestly, we don't know what might have caused it,&quot; Bothwell said. He added that he believes the dead fish are white spotted filefish, though eventhat thatthere muchisisahard to Wildlife, Odor, 30.33495 it is heartbreaking to report heavy scent of oil in the air here in Santa Rosa Beach, FL Health Effects, this morning Birds, Marine Wildlife, Livelihood threatened, View of Dauphin Island beach with time date/stamp from watch, Shows unpsoiled beach on this date.
