Tutorial work for Week 3 Tutorial

The tute this week is concerned with strategic planning for information systems and technology.

Students should find a strategic information systems plan (SISP), or similar, for an organisation with

which you are familiar. Note that if such a plan is not readily available, IT strategic plans can be

found by searching the internet, and it would be appropriate to use a plan found through such a

search.

You should then analyse and evaluate the plan in terms of the material presented in the week 3

lecture (a summary of some key points is included below).

An overview of this presentation could be in the form of:

• a very brief introduction to the organisation (little more than the name of the organisation

and its primary activities) and a link to the SISP if this available

• an overview of the strategic information systems plan – one slide with the table of contents

should be sufficient to talk to (if the table of contents is very detailed, you could cut this

back to the key headings). Is the SISP part of the organisational strategic plan, or is it a

separate document? How does it connect to the org strategic plan?

• what are 2 good things about the plan?
• what are 2 things about the plan that are not so good?

Add additional notes relevant to this article.

Consider the SISP you looked at above from the point of view of the issues raised in this article. Some issues you may consider (but are not limited to) could include whether it is evident that 7 phases of SISP (Figure 4 and associated discussion) are part of the plan that you considered; and how your plan could be categorised (see tables 14 and 15).

Some comment about SISPs

The lecture for this week will provide some material on SISP, including the following summarised

comments on the content of an SISP. These comments can be used to help evaluate the plan you

select for this exercise.

If one were to look at examples of current real SISPs, it is clear that the thinking varies as to what a

SISP should contain. However, I would contend that for the plan to be effective, there is a minimum

set of issues that need to be covered to some degree. Perhaps not all of these need to be in the one

document and elements could be picked up in other IS departmental documentation, but all of these

elements should be easily accessible by the business managers of the organisation:

• a vision for the use of IS/IT in the organisation
• a plan for overall management of IS in the organisation
• a summary of current state of IT/IS (the IS architecture?) and the organisation’s expectations

for this architecture in the future

• a mission statement for the IS department
• major initiatives planned over the timeframe that will transform the IS architecture

The plan should set out the general role of the IS department.

It is important to provide a ‘context’ within the IS plan

• where we are now – broad view of IS architecture and infrastructure, finances, and the

organisational resources that support IS (staff and their location)

• and how will this be impacted by the major initiatives

Should contain a series of measurable goals to be achieved (benchmarks of progress)

Key to a strategic plan is agreement to a few basic initiatives, rather than detailed action plans

Homeland cyber security

Choose an agency (current law enforcement or homeland security employer or one you would like to work for) as the guide with which to plan. Identify 5 objectives you would look to test and how you would evaluate the agency (tabletop, functional, or full scale exercise).

Order instructions

Part 1: What does it take to be a good Hindu? A good Christian? A good Muslim or Buddhist or Jew?

Each great religious tradition offers guidance for living a joyful and fulfilling life.

Compile a matrix (using the blank matrix available in the Doc Sharing section) that compares the basic origin, beliefs, understanding, components, and precepts (commandments) of the five major religions. Include moral duties and prohibitions, ceremonial obligations, and general principles of ethical behavior toward other people.

There may be a degree of overlap among some religions. An obvious example would be prohibitions against murder in both Judaism and Christianity.

Information in the table should be in your own words rather than copied from an outside source. List all of the references you used to construct your table following the essay in the appropriate APA format. Please use at least three references.

Part 2: After you have compiled your matrix, write an essay of 350 to 500 words in length that synthesizes the information in your matrix into some general conclusions. You should point out what the different religions (Dharmic and Abrahamic) have in common and draw conclusions about the commonalities.

How do these differences or commonalities affect the way you interact with fellow employees now and in the future?

Similarly, you should point out where these differ and offer an analysis of those differences.

Applying the concepts
Companies often develop and test hypotheses about their products. Regulatory and consumer protection groups must also test claims resulting from

hypotheses used to promote products.
Assume you are working at the Consumer Protection Agency. Recently, you have been getting complaints about the highway gas mileage of a new minivan.

The car company agrees to allow you to select randomly 41 of its new minivans to test their highway mileage. The company claims that its minivans get

28 miles per gallon on the highway. Your test results show a sample mean of 26.7 and a sample standard deviation of 4.2.
Part 1 (Confidence Interval):
• Calculate a 95% confidence interval around your sample mean.
• Is the claimed mean inside your confidence interval?
• What does your result mean, in terms of the company’s claim?
Part 2 (Two-tail test):
• List the null and alternative hypotheses for the appropriate test.
• Use alpha = 0.05. Find the critical value(s) and calculate the observed value of the test statistic.
• Is the observed test statistic in the critical (rejection) region?
• Will the p-value be higher or lower than your alpha? What does this result mean, in terms of the company’s claim?
Part 3 (One-tail test):
• List the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
• Use alpha = 0.05.
• Find the critical value and calculate the observed value of the test statistic.
• Is the observed test statistic in the critical region?
• Will the p-value be higher or lower than your alpha?
• What does this result mean, in terms of the company’s claim?
Part 4 (Conclusion):
• What conclusions did you reach?
• What did you learn from each method of checking the claim for means?
• Were there important differences between methods? Which method would you prefer?
• Which carries a higher risk of a type I error?
• Based on this experience, why do you think it’s important to decide on the method　before conducting the test?
• Based on your results, do you support the company’s claim?
• What action, if any, should the company take?
Note: The 2-page requirement does not include the graphs you prepare for this Assignment. Embed the graphs you create in the Word document with your

written responses to the questions. Drawings may be hand-drawn and either scanned or photographed, or they may be drawn using Minitab or other

statistical drawing packages.

Determine the Life Value Inventory and explore where your values fit with Ethical egoism, a rights based view, and some form of consequentialism or

none of the above. explore whether your values are close to one of these theories
or a long way away.

Use The Fundamentals of Ethics (Landau) in your answer

3. Using Sandra’s ecomap, describe what systems (influences) are causing the most stress and negative influence on Sandra’s behavior and decision making.
4. Considering Stress Theory, what are some recommendations a HSP could make to Sandra to help her cope with her trauma/stress that may help her meet her goal of a long life expectancy?
5. If you were working with Sandra and she provided consent to contact her family, do you believe that involving her adult children would make a positive impact to her family system? Explain why or why not.
6. What role could Sandra’s adult children play in helping Sandra cope with her trauma/stress?
7. Name one human services agency that serves older adults that may provide assistance to Sandra and her family. Explain how this agency would specifically help Sandra and her family with their current stressors.
