Chapter 9 and chapter 10

Enabling The Organization - Decision Making

There are some reasons why people need decision making system information system to be growth. 

• The decision must be done promptly
• Large amount of decision making that must be made
• Employees must secure their corporate asset of the company

Transaction processing system have two process in it which called

On line transaction processing (OLTP)

- capture transaction and event

- process the info

- store the info

- update existing info

On line analytical processing (OLAP)

- manipulate the info to create biz intelligence in order to support decision making.

There are 3 model of decision support system which is

1. Sensitivity analysis
2. What-if analysis
3. Goal-seeking analysis

These 3 model have the same function which is help people to make the decision but have difference in how they operate to make the solution.

Extending the Organization - Supply Chain Management

3 main links that exist in SCM

Material - flows from supplier and upstream supplier

Transformation - the process where the materials convert in product

Distribution - the product delivered to the customers and downstream customers

Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the provision of product and service packages required by the end customers in a supply chain. Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption.

Another definition of SCM is the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand and measuring performance globally."

                DATA.......................WAREHOUSE

Data warehouse is a logical collection of information

- gathered from many different operational database

- support business analysis activities and decision making tasks.

Before the data are loading into the data warehouse, the data first will be extracted from internal and external database and then transform the info using a common set of enterprise definitions. This process is called......

ETL - Extraction, transformation and loading

Different with databases (contain information in a series of two- dimensional tables), data warehouse and data mining have information that is multidimensional (contain layers of column and rows)

There are also a process called Information cleansing or scrubbing. This process weeds out and fix or delete inconsistent, incorrect, or incomplete info. It is to maintain high-quality data in the data warehouse.

Biz intelligence - info that people use to support in decision making. There are 3 principle BI enablers which is technology, people and culture......

Chapter 7

Storing Organizational Information - Database

As I said in previous entry, information are everywhere in an organization. So, it means that there must be one storage that used to store that info. The answer is...... 

DATABASE

There are 3 types model of database which is 

• hierarchical database model
• network database model
• relational database model

The function for this 3 model is same - to store the info but the difference is the way the info is stored and each one of the model are suitable for particular types of information.

There are 2 elements of information that stored in the database which is, entity and attributes. Primary keys and foreign keys identify the various entity classes (tables) in the database

5 database advantages from business perspective....

flexibility

scalability & performance

information integrity

information security

and lastly..........reduce info redundancy

Valuing Organizational Information

HYE GUYS!!!!

In organization, there are many information in it. A good worker will find the information needed, process or analyse and then do the decision making. This is important because it will effect the company's direction and profitability. 

There are 3 level of organizational information and they are information level, information formats and information granularities. Timeliness is an aspect of information that depends on the situation.

Real-time information

"immediate, up-to-date info"

Real-time system

"provides real-time info in response to query request"

 The business decision will good varies to the quality of the information that worker search. It is unfortunate if you are using technology but later, provide bad decision making to the company. This will give bad consequences to the company. 

A good information have characteristic such as accuracy, completeness, consistency, uniqueness and timeliness while bad info have redundancy, do not have evidence, and not accurate.

2 benefits if good information is achieved.

• Improve the chance of making good decision making
• Directly impact an organization's bottom line.

Organizational Structure that Support Strategic Initiatives

Assalamualaikum and a very good afternoon to everyone...I hope you are in a pink of health so that we able continue our lesson chapter 5; organizational structure that support strategic initiatives...In this chapter we are going to learn about IT roles and responsibilities, the difference between biz personnel and IT and ethics...

There are 5 IT personnel that you should know and they are;

Chief Information Officer

- oversees all uses of IT and ensures the strategic alignment of IT with business goals and objectives.

Chief Technology Officer
- ensuring the throughput, speed, accuracy, availability and reliability of IT

Chief Security Officer
- responsible for ensuring the security of IT system

Chief Privacy Officer
- ensuring the ethical and legal use of information

Chief Knowledge Office
- responsible for collecting, maintaining and distributing the organization's knowledge




There are differences between biz personnel and It personnel but many of us might still confuse and think they are the same person with the same job and responsibilities. These 2 points might help you to identify which one is biz personnel and IT personnel.....

• biz personnel are expert in sales, marketing and accounting.
• It personnel are expert in technological stuffs 

Ethics is the principles and standards that guide our behaviour toward other people. One element of ethics is privacy which means you have control and possession of your item/stuff and anyone cannot observed with your consent.

Chapter 4

Measuring The Success of Strategic Initiatives

What a beautiful day today and let's continue our lesson with awesome spirit and full of confidence....Oh! before that assalamualaikum and good morning to everyone...Today we will learn chapter 4. Generally chapter 4 are about efficiency and effectiveness IT metrics...

First of all what is the purpose of efficiency IT metrics????

"measures the performance of the IT system itself including THROUGHPUT, SPEED and AVAILABILITY"

Efficiency also can be said as "doing things right". When we do something right, then the process of completing the task will be quick and no delay will be happened. The focus is on the speed of the completing the task

Second is effectiveness IT metrics

"measures the impact IT has on business processes and activities including CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, CONVERSION RATES and SELL-THROUGH INCREASES"

The other name for effectiveness is "doing right things". So, we will focus on the things or job that involved in completing the task, not the time required taken to do the task.

A good company is always have high level of efficiency and effectiveness. As you can see in the diagram, the best position that a company can be is at the right top of the graph....

Disebabkan ingin menjaga hati kawan2 serta taulan, jadi cheq pun ikut la jugak...Lagi 1 sebab kenapa cheq xmau pi ialah cheq xtau langsung nak main alat muzik apatah lagi gitar...Depa suma tau maen gitar (newbies@noob jew tp still bleh main la)...Disebabkan tak ade sape pun yang tahu main dram jadi cheq dengan rela hatinya mengisi kekosongan jawatan tersebut....

Kami pun jamminglah dengan serabainye selama 1 jam dan dikenakan RM15 (kalau xsilap la) di Studio Zai Am tuh...Kami jamming lagu Mimpi Yang Sempurna dan itulah satu-satunya lagu yang kami tahu mase tuh...Skarang klau cheq dengaq lagu tuh cheq akan teringat zaman mula2 cheq terjerumus dalam lembah muzik yang tak bersempadan ini...

CHAPTER 2

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Assalamualaikum dan selamat malam (ketika artikel ini ditulis) kepada saudara saudari yang sudi melihat entri saya kali ini...hew hew >.<. Ok saya teruskan entri kali ini dgn tajuknya yg berjudul Competitive Advantage hasil gubahan M.Nasir dan liriknya Habsah Hasan..hoho takdelah gurau jew...

First of all what is competitive advantage???

"product or services that an organization's customer place a greater value on than similar offerings from a competitor"

There are 5 forces model that we use to evaluating business segments. These 5 forces of model is very important and  related in our daily life and they are JENG JENG JENG!!!!!!

a) BUYER POWER

   - assessed by analyzing the ability of buyers to directly impact the price they are willing to pay for an item

b) SUPPLIER POWER

   - assessed by the supplier ability to directly impact the the price they are charging for supplies.

c) THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES

   -  high when there are many alternatives to a product of service and low when there are few  alternatives from which to choose.

d) THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS

   - high when it is easy for new competitor to enter a market and low when there are significant entry barriers to entering a market

e) RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING COMPETITORS

   - high when competition is fierce in a market and low when competition is complacent.

Also there are Porter's Three Generic Strategies which  can be concluded in a single picture.

That's all my general view for chapter 2. hew hew >.<

Chapter 1: Business Driven Technology

The first thing that you should know is definition of IT

"A field concerned with the use of technology in managing and processing information"

So, can we relate this definition of IT in terms of business function :--

Next definition will be MIS which stands for Management Information Systems
