03 Dec Case Study “Will the Coronavirus Pandemic Make Working from Home the New Normal?”

It is important to understand what information systems are and why they are essential for running and managing a business. The case studies below will provide you with an opportunity to review many of the concepts covered in this course thus far. These case studies provide you with an opportunity to critically analyze events that are taking place in real-life organizations. This helps to develop your critical thinking and research skills as you research each of these scenarios.

For this assignment, you will review two case studies. Then, in a PowerPoint presentation, you will evaluate the studies and address each of the requirements listed below, using both critical thinking and theory as well as supporting documentation.

Review and analyze the Chapter 1 Case Study “Will the Coronavirus Pandemic Make Working from Home the New Normal?” and address the following in a minimum of four slides:

· Define the problem described in this case. What are the management, organization, and technology issues raised by this problem?

· Identify the information systems used to provide a solution to this problem. Was this a successful solution? Why, or why not?

· Will working from home become the dominant way of working in the future? Why, or why not?

· Analyze how information systems aligned with organizational goals and strategies is necessary.

Review and analyze the Chapter 8 Case Study “Is the Equifax Hack the Worst Ever—and Why?” and address the following in a minimum of four slides:

· Identify and discuss the security and control issues that resulted from flaws in Equifax security and control.

· What management, organization, and technology factors contributed to these problems?

· Explain how an organization’s information systems are vulnerable to internal and external threats.

· Discuss the impact of the Equifax hack.

· Explain why data management has a tremendous impact on an organization’s survival.

· How can future data breaches like this one be prevented? Discuss information systems solutions.

In formatting your PowerPoint presentation, do not use the question-and-answer format; instead, use bullets, graphs, and/or charts in your slides to identify important points, and then discuss those points in the speaker notes of each slide. The speaker notes section of each slide should not repeat slide information, but serve as an area in which you augment or elaborate on slide information so that your audience has a better understanding of the material. You must have a minimum of 100 words in the Speaker Notes section of each content slide.

Your PowerPoint presentation should be at least eight slides in length (not counting the title and reference slides). You are required to use at least two peer-reviewed, academic sources that are no more than 5 years old to support each case study. You may use your eTextbook once in each case study. All sources used, including the eTextbook, must be referenced; all paraphrased material must have accompanying in-text citations in APA Style. At least two sources must come from the CSU Online Library.
