Discussion – Week 3 COLLAPSE Week 3 Discussion IS innovation is affected by two factors—s ituated alliances of the actors of an institution and institutional changes such as modernization. At the end of this Discussion, you will be able to understand these two factors in a real-life case. To prepare for this Discussion, read the following chapters from the course text, Information Systems and Global Diversity: Chapter 5, “Pemex—Transforming a National Company” Chapter 6, “IKA—Striving to Modernize a State Bureaucracy” Discussion Prompt: Discuss how IS innovation was affected by situated rationalities and the discourse of modernization in the case of IKA. Do you think that this case study makes a good case for the claim that rationality is socially contingent? Justify your answer. Compare the IKA and Pemex case studies. What are the major similarities and differences? To participate in the Discussion, respond to the Discussion Prompt by Day 2. Then, read a selection of your colleagues’ postings. Finally, respond to at least two classmates by Day 5 in one or more of the following ways: Ask a probing question. Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting. Offer and support an opinion. Validate an idea with your own experience. Make a suggestion. Expand on two of your colleagues’ postings. Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made.

The systems analyst job carries into and beyond the implementation stage. Often, this is a confusing time for the client, who may not understand the complexities of these steps. You will need to research key terms and provide examples. The selection of appropriate sources establishes your credibility with clients. A “Research Methodology” Appendix allows your client to critically evaluate a study’s overall validity and reliability. In addition to research and presentation of ideas, this assessment will test your ability to explain technology concepts to non-technical clients. This assignment addresses two content areas: first, types of system architecture design requirements; and second, methods of testing systems for implementation. Instructions and Requirements When finalizing system requirements, it is helpful to return to previous parts of the SDLC and the design specifications. In this case, we want to review requirements related to architecture design. Your task is to explain the four primary types of nonfunctional requirements that can be important in designing the architecture. You’ll want to examine relevant subtypes and research examples of these types of requirements. The second main concept to explore this week is to review various testing methods – ways to verify that the system does what it was designed to do. As you are researching the examples, you will want to evaluate your sources and document it in a Research Methodology Appendix. You will need at least 3 sources beyond the textbook (the textbook does not count as a source). Appropriate academic or scholarly resources include books, academic journal articles, and published expert reports. Be wary of advertisements, opinion sources, and crowd-sourced documentation (like Wikipedia). There are two research methodology components: Process and Evaluation. For process, you will want to explain what was your method of research? How did you search for your examples? For source evaluation you will want to identify what makes your sources appropriate for this presentation? Why are they relevant? Documentation Prepare a PowerPoint with the following requirements. The outline below corresponds to the slides and information necessary for this assessment. For each slide, write in your own words. You are additionally required to use (at least) 3 quality/academic/scholarly resources beyond the textbook. Provide an APA in-text citation and an APA references slide(s) as part of the presentation. Images are encouraged. Presentation and layout matters. 1.  Cover slide, course, your name, and the date. 2.  Define the overall purpose of Operational Requirements 3.  Operational Requirements (subtype and example one) 4.  Operational Requirements (subtype and example two) 5.  Performance Requirements (overall purpose) 6.  Performance Requirements (subtype and example one) 7.  Performance Requirements (subtype and example two) 8.  Security Requirements (overall purpose) 9.  Security Requirements (subtype and example one) 10.                Security Requirements (subtype and example two) 11.                Cultural and Political Requirements (overall purpose) 12.                Cultural and Political Requirements (subtype and example one) 13.                Cultural and Political Requirements (subtype and example two) 14.                Unit Testing defined and example 15.                Integration Testing defined and example 16.                System Testing defined and example 17.                Acceptance Testing defined and example 18.                Summary 19.                Appendix: Research Methodology – Process 20.                Appendix: Research Methodology – Source Evaluation 21.                References slide(s) as needed Design notes: Use a design theme. Images and other visual aids are encouraged Creativity and visual presentation matters. The outline is a suggested, but not required structure. If you can compress two examples onto one slide you are welcome. If you need additional slides for documentation (especially research methodology) you can include more information. Ensure good readability (consider color, text size, etc.) Do not use animation or transitions. Do not include content in the notes area – every slide should be self-sufficient. Minimum Submission Requirements Proper notification of any resubmission, repurposing, or reworking of prior work This assessment should be a Microsoft Word (minimum 350 words) document, in addition to the title and reference pages. Respond to the questions in a thorough manner, providing specific examples of concepts, topics, definitions, and other elements asked for in the questions.
