1. Article 1:
Question:
1. What is that project? Provide complete description. Consider
using PPM.
2. What was the scoop, deliverable, and results of the project?
3. What constraints did you experience and how did you handle
them?
4. If you had to do the same project again, what changes will
you recommend?
Degree endorsement is the strategy by which all social
occasions (underpins, customers, clients, et cetera.) formally
grasp the degree of the wander. It requires a survey of work
things and results to ensure that they are done precisely and
tasteful. If the analysis closes carelessly, the expansion
endorsement process should see and record the level and level
of satisfaction (Wortmann, J.C. 2012). Augmentation
endorsement differs from quality control since it essentially
incorporates affirmation of work comes to fruition, while
quality control implies the rightness of activity happens.
Eventual outcomes of undertaking, occasion or occasion of all
or part of the result are the outcome of the execution of the
wander plan. Records submitted to the endeavor thing portrayal
must be available for review. The terms used to portray this
record (plans, judgments, particular files, outlines, et cetera.)
vary according to the application region (Wortmann, J.C.
2012).
The audit should fuse such activities as estimation, testing and
testing to choose if the results meet the essentials. Examinations
are differing called studies, thing reviews, surveys and walking
goes; in a couple of regions of utilization, these unmistakable
terms have thin and specific significance (Wortmann, J.C.
2012). A record that a customer or support has recognized that a

2. wander or stage thing ought to be masterminded and scattered.
This affirmation may be unexpected, especially toward the
complete of the stage. Control overextension changes imply (a)
factors that impact contrasts in the degree to ensure that the
movements are useful, (b) to choose the degree of changes, and
(c) to regulate genuine changes at the period of the occasion and
when.
Changes inside the control go must be completely joined into
other control shapes (time control, cost control, quality control)
(Morris, Peter W.G. 2010). Execution reports give information
about the feasibility of the degree, for instance, widely
appealing thing culmination, and which are assuredly not. The
execution report may moreover enable the endeavor to gathering
to recollect issues that may incite issues later on (Morris, Peter
W.G. 2010).A change request can occur in various structures
verbal or formed, quick or underhanded, outside or internal,
legally endorsed, or optional. The movements might be
extended or may be allowed to restrain the degree. The structure
that controls the augmentation change chooses the technique in
which the degree of the endeavor can be changed. It
consolidates chronicles, following edges, and underwriting
levels required to decide changes (Morris, Peter W.G. 2010).
Article 2:
Question:
1. What is that project? Provide complete description. Consider
using PPM.
2. What was the scoop, deliverable, and results of the project?
3. What constraints did you experience and how did you handle
them?
4. If you had to do the same project again, what changes will
you recommend?
The project is titled as the use of microchips on livestock. The

3. project is intended to monitor the movement of animals on the
farm, detect diseases, and ensure the security of the cattle in the
herd. The chip will use RFID technology where they pass
information to a centralized computerized system on my phone
and computer. The automated system helps me collect data on
the cows and monitor their actions.
The Management System is divided into three components. One
is Individual animal identification, a well-incorporated software
program, and equipment used to read animal information and
send it to the computer system. The primary objective of the
project is to integrate Information Technology in herd
management making it easy to manage the livestock in a more
coordinated manner. The primary goal of the project is to
increase yields at a lower cost. The project is also aimed at
reducing the workload of managing animals since the system
makes it easier to handle the animals. Through this, I will be
able to handle a bigger herd. The software and identification
systems improve reproduction and health programs of the
animals.
Some of the constraints faced in the project include financial
constraints. To develop and implement a computerized system
in an animal herd requires a substantive amount of capital, to
purchase the chips and the whole software program. Secondly,
access to the software programs was quite a hurdle since
incorporation system takes quite a long time to fix in the
system. If I were to do the same or a similar project, I would
first engage in intense research to get the best software system.
We are living in a world full of cons which prompts one to be
extra cautious. I would also prepare myself financially to have
enough capital to come up with a well-prepared budget for the
project.
Article 3:
Question: Ethics and Information Management
Read at least four (4) academically reviewed articles on the

4. ethical issues that may arise in information management.
1. Write a comparative analysis of the articles noting the
similarities and differences.
2. Compare the information in those articles to the materials
in Chapter 14 of your textbook. Does the premise of those
articles support the overall theme of the materials in Chapter 14
of your textbook? Why or why not?
3. Discuss what you learned from those articles. In your
discussion, give example(s) of your organization handles ethic
concerns as they relate to information management.
Ethics is a code of values that depend on the behavior of a
person or a group in an organization with respect to what is
right and what is wrong. Ethics plays a major role in decision
making and sets standards in choosing good or bad. These
Ethics can change over a period choosing the right decision.
Companies with the ethical practices ensure that the company
would reach its goals and targets.
When comparing all the articles there are many
similarities than differences. Some of the similarities include as
ethical practice is a rational thinking to choose between two
options. As the articles describe more about ethics in the
current, emerging and future in information management. The
major ethical issues these articles quoted was problems with
over commitment, manipulating requirements, overconfident
etc. To overcome all these ethical practices should be
implemented in companies. Major differences among these
articles is like giving future directions in ethical practices. As
these articles have research on the different type of fields these
ethics change over a period and vary among different
organizations and their fields.
When comparing all the articles with chapter 14, they
have an almost similar description like in the articles. Ethics
practices help the company to achieve their goals and plan their

5. performance strategies. These articles support the theme of
chapter 14. Because these articles state the importance and role
of ethical practices and clearly explain the issues faced by
companies with unethical behavior.
I would like to introduce ethical practices in my
company. For example, increasing personal Integrity by gaining
trust among others like team and superiors. By maintaining
consistent behavior with the same words and actions without
changing them. Admitting the fault of the mistakes. Maintaining
the moral values and achieving the goals by following
principles and not breaking the law. As the companies are
working hard to improve the performance I feel that it is equally
important to improve the performance created by ethical
practices.
Article 4:
Question: Ethics and Information Management
Read at least four (4) academically reviewed articles on the
ethical issues that may arise in information management.
1. Write a comparative analysis of the articles noting the
similarities and differences.
2. Compare the information in those articles to the materials
in Chapter 14 of your textbook. Does the premise of those
articles support the overall theme of the materials in Chapter 14
of your textbook? Why or why not?
3. Discuss what you learned from those articles. In your
discussion, give example(s) of your organization handles ethic
concerns as they relate to information management.
1. Write a comparative analysis of the articles noting the
similarities and differences
Ethics are moral principles that conceptualize as what is good
and bad, right and wrong, partial and impartial for individuals
and society. The information technology provides us with new
capabilities and choices for action but there is no policy exist or

6. conduct for existing ones are inadequate, resulting to an
uncertainty in fixing the moral duty and obligation of a person
or organization in deciding the social impact the computer
ethics or information system formulates and justifies for its
ethical use.
The articles related to the ethics in information management
indicate conceptual similarities in defining it but differ in
handling the serious ethical challenges being faced by IT
experts and users of information technology, due to varying
factors such as awareness, judgment, intent, behavior, gender,
cultural and religious difference, and geographical boundaries.
All the articles are emphasizing to maintain the ethics issues
related to information technology by sharing the responsibility
by an employee and organization as whole considering the
emergence of more information technologies in future, to be
more vigilant and honest as to how they should behave and how
the organization should predict an individual’s behavior despite
having increased pressure.
The differences noted down in the one article (5 Ethical
Challenges of Information Technology) which emphasizes the
formulation of the policies on ethical challenges like lack of
privacy, security, software piracy, and increased computer
crime related to the information technology and to put on a tag
on loopholes that technology offers. The second article (What is
computer ethics?) proposing on a mechanical application of an
ethical theory to develop a conceptual framework for
understanding ethical problems involving computer technology.
The third article (Unique ethical problems in information
technology) argues that authentic and significant field of
computer ethics should not be allowed to become moral
instruction, because computer technology is a hypothetical field
with single ethical issues existing with the invention of
computer and lack of resemblance is compelling us to frame
new moral ethics, develop new policies and moral values. The
forth articles (Ethics of emerging information and
communication technology) raises the concerns at the scenario,

7. when due to the emergence of new technologies, machines shall
be replacing the human and taking over mankind, disrupting
social aspects when technology will mediate between people to
have interaction. In this scenario, what would be the moral
worth of the machine and whether the machine shall be held
responsible for unethical behavior? If yes, what appearance the
machine ethics would have?
2. Compare the information in those articles with the materials
in Chapter 14 of your textbook. Does the premise of those
articles support the overall theme of the materials in Chapter 14
of your textbook? Why or why not?
The contents of the articles mostly support overall theme of the
material in chapter fourteen on ethical issues related to
information technology, like a breach of privacy, misuse of
power and discrimination during the recruitment process,
misuse of information, applicable civil rights, and about
irresponsible behavior. Comparing with the contents of the
articles, articles are focusing on the emergence of new
technologies but the material in chapter fourteen, specifically
highlights the six technology trends helping in flourishing the
business.
3. Discuss what you learned from those articles. In your
discussion, give example(s) of your organization handles ethic
concerns as they relate to information management.
After churning the contents of the articles, I learned that every
business organization depending on digital technology should
adhere to the ethical approach and formulate the moral
principles to be followed by all employees. The management
should also have an eye that nobody crosses the limit for his/
her own benefit and privacy and security tools are used to
protect the intellectual property from hackers being used
maliciously. My organization, the instructions are being passed
on to everyone through a written commitment to follow ethical
norms. Seniors are entrusted to maintain the ethical culture and
monitor behavior of employees on a regular Basis.

8. Article 5:
Reflection/Learning Outcomes Assessment
Write a critical evaluation of your learning outcome. In your
response, consider:
1. Consider the content of this class as they relate to
information management/IT and managerial decision making.
2. Base on the course content, discuss new skills you acquired
from this class? How relevant are the new skills to your current
and/or future profession?
3. How would you apply your new knowledge?
Management is the day to day manning the systems in place for
a business, institutions, and organizations for the successful
efficient and effective flow of work. This includes protection of
the information which is data and systems which include the
company’s strategies in business approach and computer hard
wares and software the institution has put in place to help
achieve its goals and mission the market. (Laudon, K. C. et al.
(2018). A management information system is a highly
computerized database of financial and operational data
organized and programmed in a way that it gives regular reports
on operations on every level of management in a business
organization. Thus with a proper MIS in place, it is easier to
retrieve special reports easily and efficiently. MIS main roles
are to give the management team feedback about own
performance and from that the top management can monitor the
whole organization wholly. As the information contained in the
MIS reports shows actual data results against planned results.
The MIS receives information from all the business sections and
functional units. (Ferreira, E. J. et al. (2016.)The nature of MIS
is that some data are automatically gathered and from the
computer system and other is keyed in at set times. Routine MIS
reports are programmed and do run at set Intervals or on prompt
request. Most complex MIS also monitor and display the
performance of the company’s inventory. In most companies,

9. MIS is used at every level of management but the decisions to
implement the recommendations from the MIS reports fall
within the jurisdiction of the chief information officers
and.They are the ones who charged with an overall
responsibility of the technology strategy of the company
including evaluation of how the technology can help their
organization, our chief decision makers in the implementation
process of the new MIS. The types of pieces of information
systems that may be used to extract data are decisions support
systems, executive information systems, marketing information
systems, accounting information systems, office automation
systems, enterprise resource planning, and school information
management
This subject helps to identify by the data it provides in
nonfunctional areas.
1) It helps us to achieve greater efficiency as it helps to
figure out the strengths and weaknesses.
2) It helps us in making the best decision based on the
availability of information
3) Helps us to avoid communication gaps between different
departments in work location, like managers, employees in
terms of different departments and find the best solution.
4) Improves individual employees productivity.
5) This subject helped me to understand the how the
business is managed it is not only applying for large business
but also can be implemented in small business too.
Proper utilization of this Management of information’s subject
helps us to avoid any waste of money, Resources and time. I
always implement and guide my managers or lead to anything
which is inappropriate. For instance, if there is any project
assigned and if there is the very short deadline to it I would
recommend my manager to consider the budget and planning to
execute it well in short span of time so that we can see the big
picture of the project and avoid any pitfalls

10. KWL Chart on Diversity and Multiculturalism
Consider the topics of diversity and multiculturalism. Focus
specifically on these two course competencies:
· Incorporate multicultural perspectives into curriculum,
instruction, and assessment.
· Create inclusive learning environments that demonstrate
respect and value of diverse backgrounds.
This chart is a preliminary step in helping you situate your
professional specialization in the contexts of diversity and
multiculturalism. You are not expected to know everything—or
even most things—about these topics at this time; simply record
a few of your initial thoughts. There are three separate sections
in the chart.
The purpose of Section 1 is to help you begin thinking about
how the general themes of curriculum, instruction, and
assessment apply specifically to your professional
specialization. Do not be concerned if you are not currently
working in this specialization and do not have much experience
on which to draw. Just reply according to your current thoughts
about the general professional role you expect to fill. There are
no right or wrong answers.
The purpose of Section 2 is to help you start thinking about how
the general themes of diversity and multiculturalism apply
specifically to your professional specialization. Again, do not
be concerned if you are not currently working in this
specialization and have little experience on which to draw. Just
reply according to your current thoughts about the general

11. professional role you expect to fill. There are no right or wrong
answers.
The third section of the chart is for more general reflection on
the topics of diversity and multiculturalism. Complete the first
two columns in Section 2 of the chart. In the first column,
describe what you already know about these topics. In the
middle column, list things that you want to know about these
topics. In your last assignment, you will revisit this chart to fill
in the final column: what you learned.
