Session 1 (and Chapter 1) Learning Objectives

1.1 Describe information technology jobs 1.2 Nature and purpose of data items, information and knowledge1.3 Examine basic components of information systems and interrelationships among components1.4 Explain how IT affects management and society


10

Information technology jobs are everywhere

What is information technology versus information systems? How is it created?

Where is it in your life? What companies make these products?

Think of some examples of unusual use of technology. What kind of jobs created these products?

Who uses technology at: A hardware store? A book publisher?


11

People, technology and decision-making work

together These are the key areas that we address during

the course: People in regular and IT jobs use and manage

systems The type of technology available affects jobs General business decisions and IT decisions

affect processes and the job alternatives that are open to us

Let’s look at each of these


12

People: users and IT Have a variety of skills and abilities: how do they vary

between a hardware store and a book publisher? Come from many cultural and educational

backgrounds Need to be involved in systems implementation to

ensure success Management style directly affects success of systems People contribute their knowledge during selection,

design, testing of systems

Technology jobs encompass hardware and software

Hardware: includes equipment as well as data communications lines and infrastructure for systems such as the world wide web

Software: includes many layers such as operating system level, data base management level and applications (functional) level

What type of education would you need to develop, maintain or use these systems?

People create their own jobs

What new web sites have you heard about? Have you heard of any new services? Started in late 2012, unroll.me is an email sorting

service Search on the web –

what is the average salary in Canada for a business analyst position?

Decision-making People at all levels, including management,

make choices about behaviours and processes These decisions create an organizational

environment that affects the work effectiveness The types of processes used also affect the

quality of information and the quality/success of information systems


18

Let’s do Practice Question #1:

Build Your Own Multinational Co. Answers will be posted after the classroom

sections are completed working on the problems. Dig out your phones or laptops – let’s take a look at

two of the sites that these business owners are using: http://www.elance.com and http://www.guru.com. Then, use the questions of the case answer sheet to

talk about the types of jobs the employees would be providing, stating the level of the organization

Data, information and knowledge

Data: elementary description of transactions that are recorded, classified, and stored but not organized to convey any specific meaning.

Information: refers to data that have been organized so that they have meaning and value to the recipient.

Knowledge: data and/or information that has been organized and processed to convey understanding, experience, accumulated learning, and expertise.

How is data transformed?

DATA is sorted, processed or assembled to create INFORMATION

When people apply learned criteria or learned expertise to INFORMATION they create KNOWLEDGE

Refer to Text, Figure 1.2, p. 12

Practice Question #2

World-changing technology?

The UbiSlate was developed by DataWind, two Canadian brothers. It is sold around the world at low cost: see www.ubislate.com

Helping to prevent airline disasters was the mandate of the Canadian company Star Navigation,www.star-navigation.com). The company developed real-time, in-flight monitoring systems.

Using the terminology of CBIS, describe the components for each of these company’s products.

-Development of computer aided design of a new product-A report showing hours worked by employee, highlighting overtime hours and their cost-Financial forecasts by product line for the next five years-Recording the sales of items sold at a retail store


27

How are you going to study and practice?

Think about the information that we have talked about today so far, and what is available in your text

Gradually, we will be covering an increasing volume

How are you going to study? In groups of up to five people, share your study strategies. Pick a favourite and have one of your group members write it on the board

1.2 Nature and purpose of data items, information and knowledge

1.3 Examine basic components of information systems and interrelationships among components

1.4 Explain how IT affects management and society


29

How does technology affect management

style? need to manage from a distance be flexible in dealing with suppliers and

customers need to address changing business

environment fluid organizational boundaries


30

Effects of technology on organizational

structure fewer middle managers ("flattened"

organization) being able to "telecommute" - working in many

physical locations redesigning workflow to reduce costs and

increase efficiency


31

Effects of IT on employees and

society … Let’s split into groups of five people each: each group

should search online and find at least three technological solutions that support people with disabilities and allow them to become part of the workforce. For example, Lifeworks uses iPads to help some disabled persons play music and participate in the work force Lifeworks Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ov02_ATYeY

Technology Tic-Tac-Toe on the board. X team: provide positive impacts of technology on

employees and on society O team: provide negative impacts

Study tip #1 This study tip is a variation of an exercise of the same name found in “Pumping Ions: games and exercises

to flex your mind,” by Tom Wujec

-The purpose of this exercise is to engage a variety of senses: smell, touch, taste and vision. Remember the following: The smell and taste of what you had for breakfast on Sunday The last time you went swimming (or had a bath/shower) and

how the water felt The first day of the previous course that you took. Visually look

around in your memory. What is the quality of your memory? How can you use these

senses to help you study for this course? Practice this exercise with something different every day.


33

What key topics did we cover today?


34

This course depends upon both you and me for

success If something is not working correctly – please

let me know I look forward to working with you during the

rest of the term
