Q.7) Define electronic collaboration.
Q.8) How is enterprise management system (EMS) different from enterprise resource management (ERM)? Explain.
UNIT 3- Conceptual System Design
Q.1) “Information doesn’t have an absolute universal value. Its values are related to those who use it, when it is used, and in what situation it is used.” Justify this statement with an example.
Q.2) Describe the process of defining problems and establishing system objectives in the conceptual design phase of an MIS. Why is a clear problem definition crucial for successful MIS development?
Q.3) Explain the concept of system constraints. How are these constraints identified and managed during the conceptual design of an MIS? Provide examples of common constraints.
Q.4) Discuss the methods used to determine information needs and sources during the conceptual design phase. How do these methods ensure that the MIS meets the organization’s requirements?
Q.5) Explain the process of developing and selecting alternative conceptual designs for an MIS. What criteria are used to evaluate and choose the most suitable design?
Q.6) Describe the importance of documenting the system concept and preparing the conceptual design report. What key elements should be included in this documentation?
UNIT 4- Implementation, Evaluation And Maintenance Of The MIS
Q.1) Explain the business process reengineering with an example. Also discuss various steps involved in the business process reengineering.
Q.2) Describe the key activities involved in planning the implementation of an MIS. Why is a well-defined implementation plan essential for success?
