Will the Registration Process affect us?

Ok it is 10:15 and the line for registration is still all the way downstairs. I am not sure if we will be able to get the use of the lab. I hope so and only time will tell. However we must be prepared in the event that we do not get to have class.

Think you got away?? Aha..Nope

Consider the following:

1. Describe some of the pressures that characterize the modern global business environment?
2. What are some of the organizational responses to these pressures? Are any of the responses specific to a particular pressure? If so, which ones?
3. What are the major reasons why it is important for employees in all functional areas to become familiar with IT?
4. Why is accessing the Internet with cell phones such a huge advantage for countries or areas with no land lines?
5. What are some additional ways that villages could use the Internet? Can Internet access really bridge the digital divide in these rural areas? Why not?
6. What is the relationship between providing cell phones to villages and a flat world?
7. Why is it so important for an organization to make compliance an integral part of its culture? Hint: Is compliance a “top own or a “bottom up” process?
8. Why is the IS function so important to an organization’s compliance efforts? Is this true of all industries, or is it true of some industries more than others? If the latter, for which industries would compliance be most critical? Why?
9. How do JPMorgan’s investments in IT help the bank increase market share? Increase profits? Prevent competitors from entering its markets?

Answer the questions in MS Word. Do it well and be prepared for a dynamic discussion. When we meet.

Taa Daa...over and out.
