Chapter 4 Case Study

1.       Your friend is considering using an online service to identify people with compatible personalities and attractive physical features who would be interesting to date. Your friend must first submit some basic personal information then complete a five-page personality survey, and finally provide several recent photos. Would you advise your friend to do this? Why or why not?

 Answer:

 Of course No, because this idea might not be safe or good for the security of my friend. I could say that it’s not secure enough because going into a date must be ask or planned personally by a group or the person involve with it. By the situation, I rather find a guy who is interested with my friend than letting her engage into an online service which is basically unsafe for a reason that he or she didn’t know the background of such person that my friend is going out with. As we all knew that there are lot of online scam are spreading today which results in fooling a person and the worst is into a crime. I don’t want to put my friends in danger. I care about them and I disagree online services in identifying people who are interested to her or him.

2. You are a recent college graduate with only a year of experience with your employer. You were recently promoted to manager of email services. You are quite surprised to receive a phone call at home on a Saturday from the Chief Financial Officer of the firm asking that you immediately delete all email from all email servers, including the achieve and back-up servers that are older than six months. He states that the reason for this request is that there have been an increasing number of complaints about the slowness of email services. In addition, he says he is concerned about the cost of storing so much email. This does not sound right to you because you have taken several measures that have actually speeded up email services. You recall a brief paragraph in the paper last week that stated several suppliers were upset about what they called “prince fixing” among the companies in you industry. What do you say to the Chief Financial Officer?

Answer:

Just because he is my Chief Financial Officer I will respect his request to delete all email from all email services. And I also appreciate his concerned about that costing of storing that email. But before that I ask first a permission to keep a copy for future references before deleting it. Because what if someone look for a certain email that one of the older.  

3. You have 15 years of experience in sales and marketing with three different organizations. You currently hold a middle management position and have been approach by a headhunter to make a move to a company seeking a chief privacy officer. The headhunter claims the position would represent a good move for you in your career path and lead to an eventual vice president of marketing position. You are not sure about the exact responsibilities of the CPO position or what authority the person in this position would have at this particular company. How would you go about evaluating this opportunity to determine if it actually is a good career move or a dead end?

Answer:

                In my 15 years of experience in sales and marketing is of course I want to promote or improve my position. But before receiving or accepting that position given to me, is I will evaluate first if it is good to me, what are those responsibilities, if there are benefits or what are those benefits. And if I deserve it, I will accept and I can say that it is the start of my good career.

4. As the information systems manager for a small manufacturing plant, you are responsible for anything relating to the use of information technology. A new inventory control system is being implemented to track the quantity and movement of all finished products stored in a local warehouse. Each time a forklift operator moves a case of product, he or she must first scan the product identifier code on the case. The product information is captured, as is the day, time and forklift operator identification number. This data is transmitted over a local area network (LAN) to the inventory control computer, which then displays information about the case and where it should be placed in the warehouse.

                The warehouse manager is excited about using case movement data to monitor worker productivity. He will be able to tell how many cases per shift each operator moves and he plans to use this data to provide performance feedback that could result in pay increases or termination. He has asked you if there are any potential problems with using the data in this manner and, if so, what should be done to avoid them. How would you respond?

                Answer:

                I think there is a problem regarding that data to provide performance feedback that could result in pay increase or termination. But it’s good that there is a performance feedback because it can help to you to know where your time to adjust is. The problem is many data uses and too much data are make slowness. And to avoid this is you provide performance feedback in just a week, month, or year.

5. You have been asked to help developed  a company policy on what should be done in the event of a data breach, such as unauthorized access to your firm’s customer database,which contains some 1.5 million records. What sort of process would you use to develop such a policy? What resources would you call on?

                Answer:

                I will develop a company policy that the unauthorized cant access just likes people who are not in that certain company. And make a customer database that can store more than 1.5 millions of records that the process is fast. And if ever the process is slow because of too much records, sort it with by letter, month or by year. Just databases your policy in order to access or view quickly.

Why there is no licensure exam for IT professionals.

Information Technology students will become an IT professionals someday.  But some of them did not know why there is no licensure exam. And I’m the one also who did not know that issue about that licensure exam. I think there are many reasons why. As my very own opinion maybe one of the reasons is an IT professional has many field or works to call after studying for four years. They will become an IT instructor, programmer, web development, web designer, call center agent and others that related to technology. Even they did not accomplished there studies in four years as long as, they have an experienced about technology. Unlike to other course that has a particular named to called after finishing or accomplishing their dreams to become a successful. Such as, when your course is education you will become or called as teacher and your field is to teach, when your course is criminology you will be also called or become a police man/woman and other courses too.

Information Technology will just receive a certificate and that certificate given is very useful. You can still receive even you still studying. That certificate such as, NCII, NCIV and other NC (National Certificate) is useful to everywhere because it is national. You just have that certificate if you passed those. Wherever you go if you have that those certificates you will quickly hire.

Without a licensure exam for an IT professional has an advantages. The advantages are if you work that company or what, are you just having an agreement. And then, if ever you have something bad that you’ve done in that company or in your clients you can still work or apply to other companies and dealing with other clients without involving your previous done. Unlike again to other professional that if ever they’ve done badly in their work or job they lost their license. And they will difficulty to find another job or else they did not get a job. But there are also advantages to those professional because if you have that license you have a permanent job.

Information Technology is having a thesis and that thesis is a challenge of individuals of students. And the other course is there challenge is to take the exam for having a license. So, all the courses feel challenge or difficulty stage and that stage is to pass the thesis defend and to other is to pass the board exams. But if you really think it’s just the same because every course has challenge.

The certificate of information Technology Professionals is very useful because it is stand for a license to other course. Without that certificate you can still have a job or you can still work. You just find the client and you were talk about the project. It’s just simple to find the job if you are IT professional unlike to other courses that many requirements to prepare for just an interview and many again requirements when you are already a hired.
