Assignment 1 Models for Competitive Dynamics
Due Week 2 and worth 100 points
Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry
leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments
and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed
sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology)
investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in
sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics
models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow
Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and
strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you
Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the
ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be
competitive against rivals, and profitability.
Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a
better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth,
competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two (2) business
examples.
Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail
reassessment of IS. Provide three (3) reasons to support your position.
Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational
strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities, what, how,
and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.

CIS 336 Week 10 Term Paper The Service-Oriented Architecture
Term Paper The Service-Oriented Architecture
Due Week 10 and worth 160 points
The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy allows businesses and
organizations to offer their products and services to customers and
trading partners using a standards-based integration protocol. Web
Services depends on SOA for delivery. SOA uses Extensible Markup
Language (XML) to exchange data and information to its products and
services consumers. One of the SOA characteristics is that the
integration is loosely coupled, thus simplifying integration.
Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you
Analyze five (5) ways in which SOA reduces the total cost of ownership
(TCO).
Examine five (5) ways in which using XML enables data and
information exchange between clients and servers using Web Services in
an SOA environment.
Compare and contrast the loosely coupled architecture to a tightly
coupled architecture in terms of TCO, maintenance, and implementation
issues.
Analyze three (3) advantages and three (3) disadvantages of using a
standards-based integration strategy.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note
Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA
or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
