| Why do we need BDIS? | Because:
1. Technology is the engine but not the answer
2. because individual skills with technology is not sufficient for effective work in organizations.
3. We need to understand the relationship between organizations, structure and strategies and techonology.
4. Understand techonological possibilities and dynamics. |
| What does the information hierarchy consist of? | Data --> Information --> Knowledge --> Wisdom.
Everything is connected: "Garbage input, Garbage output" |
| How does emergent technologies and information interconnect? | New Technologies:
5G
Internet of things (IOT)
AI.
Together they form intelligent connectivity. |
| What are uses for Data, information, knowledge and Wisdom? | 1. Communication
2. Supporting business processes
3. Support decision making
4. information as a product or service to consumers
5. Strategic guidance.
6. processing improvements
7. automatisation
8. Control of processes
9. information flow. |
| What is a system? | “A system is a set of interacting components working together to form a complex, integrated whole to achieve some goal by taking inputs and processing them to produce outputs”
A system is comprised of components that are interrelated to reach a common goal, by taking inputs and turning them into output. |
| What are the characteristics of a system? | Either open or Closed
Gives feedback and control
Can have Subsystems that work under the main parts
Equifinality - systems reaching the same goal in different ways. |
| What is the information processing cycle? | Input: Collection of data and the conversion in to a form that we can process
Processing: manipulation and transformation of the data
Storage: Storing data so that it can be accessed later.
Output: Transform the data into a formatting that can be used by buyers or users. |
| What Elements do we find in an information system? | Data: Raw facts, text, numbers, images, and the like that serve as the inputs for producing information
Hardware
Software
Communication media: (Networks) Set of devices and protocols (rules) that enable computers to communicate with each other.
Procedures: Instructions for the proper use of the information system.
People: Individuals who use the information system. |
| How can a good information system help organisations? | Gather large amount of data quickly and reliably
Store and organize large amounts of data
Edit data quickly, accurately, and consistently
Retrieve and output information in a variety of forms, depending on what is useful to the user |
| Levels (scale) of information systems? | Personal Systems
Transaction process systems
Functional management systems
Integrated enterprise systems
interorganisational systems.
Global systems |
| What is the difference between IT-systems and IS-systems | IT-systems are build around technology alone and not people.
IS-systems are build around people and technology. |
| Define the 3-order model of digital innovation. | Automate, Be more efficient
Informate, Better inform people
Transformate, Redefine effectiveness |
