...provide a more detailed analysis of shopper’s spending habits at an individual level, which brings in a number of ethical, legal, and information security concerns. This paper is to discuss these concerns, what the company can do to protect such sensitive information, and what potential legal issues that may be faced implementing this system. Ethical Concerns This, above all else, should be the first consideration when implementing a system like this. For a system like this to work, customers will have many attributes of their lives revealed through deep analysis of their spending habits. Most people will be uncomfortable with such a notion, so the program cannot be mandatory. This must be left to the customer to choose to participate or not. If customers do opt in to the program, everything the company plans to do with their info should be laid out for them to know right up front. Especially when it comes to sharing sensitive information with other companies, customers may trust Kudler, more than likely they will not trust other companies that do business with Kudler. A good way to handle this might be to give the customer a choice if their info can be shared with “third-parties” or not. This way Kudler can still get a good benefit from the customer participating in the program, and gives the customer a better sense of well-being knowing the information gathered will all be “in-house.” Another ethical concern here is what exactly the customer gets for being part of the...

...technological change are some of the descriptions to look at for this dimension. The final dimension of the three is the people dimension. The problems in this area that are described are lack of training, difficulties of evaluating performance, compliance, work environment, lack of overall company support, indecisive and poor management. In order to have a successful business, I believe that finding solutions to these problems will improve the practice is important. What I have seen in the company I work for now is not everyone is vested in the tasks at hand so the attitudes of some people are poor. If the company can get involvement and interest in the Information System by all members of the company that will eliminate some of the problems and possible create ideas on how to financial fund a good system. 2.

...computer or the Internet was hardly accessed, communication within distant people mainly relied on massive posts. You may not realize, information management was done in both cases as a personal was trying to organize information in a deliverable manner to others or his/herself. The term “information management” may be quite unfamiliar to general public. People would think that it might be related to computer science and information technology, which are newly brought out in this century. By the Dr. T.D. Wilson (University of Sheffield), information management refers to how information is acquired, organized, controlled and disseminated (Wilson). Indeed, information management has long been existed and “living” with us. Experts have different comments on Information management models. Some said models are typically wrong in nature but somehow useful (Box & Draper 1987). To summarise the features of IM model, it could be the representation of structure or diagnostic tool (HKU). This essay introduces four information management models and how they are involved in daily life. Each model would be illustrated with certain examples to let readers have a better understanding. In this essay, four information management models are discussed, namely Shannon Weaver Communication Model, 5 Rings Information Model, Kuhlthau’s Research Model and Information Transfer Cycle. A. Shannon Weaver Communication Model Shannon Weaver Communication Model is a cycle with several stages and...

...requires an innovative information system proficient in the organization of product sales, which allows management of data by employees from computers and mobile devices. This new system would contain customer records and be password protected for sales agent’s individual accounts and further promote confidentiality of client and corporate data. Information security and carbon footprints will need to be addressed with creation of a new data warehouse. The cloud computing system would be an idyllic system for addressing the needs of Riordan Manufacturing and would be an inexpensive conversion from the old systems. Cloud computing initially evolved from visualization. The use of visualization would allow Riordan to separate its software, business applications, and data from hardware sources that may experience an issue. The cloud offers storage, network, and hardware virtualization. Businesses can set up private clouds as storage warehouses for company information. Information technology virtualization enhances the business’s assets and offers lower administration fees, reduced maintenance, and consolidation of company information for strategic marketing initiatives in one location. With this in place, there would be less risk of possible loss of important and pertinent information. The entire marketing division would be combined into one superior database for easier comparison of information. Switching to a cloud system would allow a speedier return on information requests from different...

...MEANINGFULL DATA AND INFORMATION. Data consist of raw facts, such as customer names and addresses. For data to be meaning full, it must be collected to constitute information. Information is a collection of data or facts organized in such a way that it has more value beyond the individual pieces of data themselves. For example, a set of data of customer names and purchases might provide information on a company's market demographics, sales trends, and customer loyalty or turnover. Every purpose data or collecting data is to transform them to information. Turning data into information is a process or a set of logically related tasks performed to achieve a defined outcome. This process of defining relationships between various data requires knowledge. Knowledge is the body or rules, guidelines, and procedures used to select, organize, and manipulate data to make it suitable for specific tasks for a specific period of time. Consequently, information can be considered data made more useful through the application of knowledge. The collection of data, rules, procedures, and relationships that must be followed are contained in the knowledge base. Companies face increased pressure to provide higher quality information faster and more efficiently. They want more transparent information in less time. There are demands that information must be faster with more transparency and come from every angle meaning they shouldnt be just providing information from one perspective . Many people...

...Chapter 4 Case Study Meredith: Thanks to Good Marketing Information, Meredith Knows Women 1. Meredith’s marketing information system really focuses on women. Their target market is women and it is obvious in the way they cater towards women. Some of their strengths include they cater to a woman’s progression throughout life, they have studied their customers so greatly that they have over 700 data points on each one, and they have even segmented each individuals interests in order to better serve them. Not only that, but they have so much data on their customers that they can now sell their information to other businesses. As print is a declining business, Meredith has also ventured into the online and television world and is making their presence known. They are not simply looking at the present but are also setting themselves up for the future. A weakness of Meredith is that preferences can change over time. They need to keep up with the changing interests of their customers and make sure their data points are not just a storage bin full of outdated information. Another weakness is that it is only providing to women through magazines and television shows. With all of the information they have gathered, they should be able to reach out to women in other forms such as clothing, exercise equipment, gardening tools, or even cookware. The information that they have accumulated could be used for another business venture. 2.Through impersonal...

...1. What is your opinion about the information safety problem in outsourcing? It's definitely not easy giving up control or handing over sensitive information to complete strangers. On one hand, it's nice to be able to do everything IT related in-house. You control access and you control how and when things get done. On the other hand, any smart businessperson knows it's practically impossible for one department or person to do everything and do it well. Think Like A Thief IT-related issues should be viewed from a hacker's perspective. This means considering what can happen if your confidential information gets into the wrong hands. Do you have digital assets worthy of abuse? What negative consequences would occur if they were abused? Is your job going to be on the line if your company makes the headlines? Who has access? Most outsourced IT services require someone somewhere to have full access to a portion, if not all, of your digital goods. For instance, desktop support professionals will likely need administrative rights to your workstations. This likely translates into full access to corporate data stored on local drives and, potentially, network shares. Consider what an IT auditor or security consultant may gather during the days, weeks or months onsite perusing your systems. It's limitless and it only takes one miscreant to cause a lot of damage. Data control It's one thing to understand that outsourced IT service providers have access to corporate data, but it's quite...
