...Managerial Application of Information Technology The purpose of this paper is to discuss the managerial application of information technology. In this paper, information technology has been discussed with respect to the problems faced by an organization. The organization that has been chosen for the analysis of information technology is Wal-Mart. Wal-mart Wal-Mart is operating in as many as 10 countries outside the United States. Asian market has provided Wal-Mart with diverse opportunities. The company has already started its operations in Japan, Korea, and China. In the European Market, Wal-Mart has started its operations in British and German market. In addition, the company is also operating in Mexico, United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico (Lohr, pp. 10). Wal-Mart has operated successfully in the United States market. The aggressive supply chain strategy of Wal-Mart i.e. ‘pile it high and sell it cheap’ has not worked successfully in all foreign markets (Cassidy, pp. 6). The differences in market conditions and consumer preferences had a significant impact on the expansion plans of Wal-Mart. The structure of European markets differs from that of North American markets. The productivity of European markets is less than that of North American markets (Freeman et al, pp 486). The differences in market-structure have influenced the success of Wal-Mart operations in different countries. German market has been characterized with an oligopolistic structure. The German...

Background of Cloud Computing IV. Infrastructure and Platform as a Service V. Types of Cloud Computing environments VI. Benefits of Cloud Computing I. Executive Summary This research paper address some of the issues surrounding cloud computing as a model for enabling convenient on demand network access to a shared pool of configuration computing resources (e.g. network, servers, storage, applications and services.) The term cloud computing means that customers do not own network resources such as hardware software systems or service; network resources are delivered over the Web. While both the hype and promise surrounding cloud computing continue to accelerate at a rapid pace, confusion still remains about what exactly cloud computing is the risk and benefits associated with transitioning to cloud base environment. Additionally, this paper examines the advantages of cloud computing as well as the different types of cloud computing. Lastly, this paper outlines recommendations of how organizations use cloud computing to controlling risk and cost effectiveness. II.

...University 2011 Information Technology Security Three Year Strategy Plan to Increase Information Security Managerial Applications of Information Technology MAR11 Sec S Professor Andrew Nash Over the next three years, we need to realize with any information security system, risk is almost inevitable. The internet is extremely convenient and puts information at the tip of users with speed. However, we must be aware of the risks associated with this luxury. If not monitored properly, information can be tampered with, lost or stolen and corrupt the computer systems. If information is recorded electronically, it is more susceptible to these risks than paperwork locked away in storage. The internet makes it so easy to steal information even if the person is in another country. Therefore, these intruders avoid the greater risk and cost of stealing information because they don’t have to break into anyone’s home or even make a photocopy. Instead they create their own files and create programs that mask evidence of their actions. Every day we hear of various security breaches that happen. No one is exempt and some high profile cases include banks, business, schools, and even government data. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Valdosta State University has gone through a series of events through the last two years. It has proven to be a University of both cultural and computer system diversity. Since the guise of educational freedom is important, there are many technologies available for all...

...that focuses on residential remodeling. The company has 3 full time employees and 6 part time employees that work when needed. Each employee fills out a paper time sheet each week for hours worked detailing what job they have done. Hours are then manually logged and payments are made by hand. Correspondences between the company and customers are made via phone or email; important emails are printed out and kept in a file that is kept on site. Hour recording, payments, email and email history are all services that can be made electronic, saving time and money for the company. Problem Albert’s Construction and Remodeling problem is a recording keeping cost and efficiency, a lack of easy and resourceful communication, and an overuse of managerial overhead. Record keeping is a non-paying job requirement that is currently too time consuming. Communications between customer and worker are ineffective due to a long chain of command. The manager needs to focus on creating new jobs instead of filing paperwork for completed jobs. Name Albert’s Construction and Remodeling Solution The solution to Albert’s Construction and Remodeling’s problem is to implement an electronic payment system with a cloud database and jobsite tablets for communications. The payment system would keep all employee hours in a database. The hours would be automatically allotted to jobs sites and specific jobs within each site. Payments to employees will be created and distributed electronically as well as invoice...

Technology, on the other hand, is critical in todays fast evolving and rapidly changing technological society. Walmart is a business enterprise that has developed efficiency in utilizing these two organizing functions; knowledge and technology. Walmart has integrated knowledge on a vast variety of many topics as part of their corporation. In the recent years, ethnical diversity has adjusted almost perfectly in the workplace. Knowledge of this diversity is essential in maintaining a harmonious work environment. This environment creates success and creativity among the employees. Ethnics ensure that work related skills are incorporated from various perspectives therefore diversity ensures that creativity is enhanced (Bateman & Snell, 2009). Due to difference in managerial skills, managers will be in a better position to execute the best strategies to ensure that fewer conflicts are experienced due to misunderstandings on racial or cultural basis.
