11.1 Introduction
Learning Objectives
1. Recognize the importance of software and its implications for the firm and strategic decision making.
2. Understand that software is everywhere; not just in computers, but also cell phones, cars, cameras, and many other technologies.
3. Know what software is and be able to differentiate it from hardware.
4. List the major classifications of software and give examples of each.
We know computing hardware is getting faster and cheaper, creating all sorts of exciting and disruptive opportunities for the savvy manager. But what’s really going on inside the box? It’s software that makes the magic of computing happen. Without software, your PC would be a heap of silicon wrapped in wires encased in plastic and metal. But it’s the instructions—the software code—that enable a computer to do something wonderful, driving the limitless possibilities of information technology.
Software is everywhere. An inexpensive cell phone has about one million lines of code. [1] Ford automobiles actually have more lines of code than Twitter and Facebook combined. [2] Software might even be in grandpa. The average pacemaker has between 80,000 and 100,000 of code. [3] In this chapter we’ll take a peek inside the chips to understand what software is. A lot of terms are associated with software: operating systems, applications, enterprise software, distributed systems, and more. We’ll define these terms up front, and put them in a managerial context. A follow-up chapter, Chapter 12 "Software in Flux: Open Source, Cloud, and Virtualized and App-driven Shifts" “Soft ...
Executive SummaryThis report addresses four major concerns that .docxrhetttrevannion
Executive Summary
This report addresses four major concerns that the New York City Council has for its ageing IT infrastructure located at City Hall. After a recent renovation, the cost of project exceeded the planned cost by more than $50 million. This has impacted on their vision of improving the current IT infrastructure. The mayor of New York has approached our firm and has shared some of their concerns they have and have asked us to address the following concerns.
The first concern relates to the New York City council having more than 1000 personal computers (PCs) operating at City Hall throughout the different departments. There is a need to reduce the total amount of PCs across the department to save on energy costs as well as updating the current operating system (OS) to Windows 10. The second concern relates to the current specifications of the PCs in relation to Windows 10 system requirements and whether they can be salvaged and used for the next three years. About half of the current PCs will have to be removed as they will not be able to last for three years. The third concern relates to the security of the OS system, where a recommendation has been requested for the best server operating system. The final concern relates to the best method of securely backing up documentation that can be accessed by all councillors at any time of the day.
This report contains all the recommendations for a new operating system, hardware requirements, a recommendation for a server operating system and the best method to securely share documents. The recommendations that are contained within this report are what we believe will address all the concerns that have been put forth.

Introduction
Technology has changed the very way that we interact with each other and how we conduct business. It is a powerful resource that is ever-changing which requires us to constantly evolve on how we harness the technology (Duncan 2011). The Mayor of New York City (NYC) has approached our firm and has asked for assistance in budgeting for new IT equipment in relation to four major concerns over the current state of the IT infrastructure in City Hall. These concerns are the current energy usage of the 1000 personal computers, whether the current PCs meet minimum specification, security implications and secure documentation backup. This report outlines the most suitable operating system for the councils standard operating environment, new and existing hardware requirements, recommended server operating system for optimal security and the recommended cloud-based services for storage.

Introduction
Welcome to the world of information systems, a world that seems to
change almost daily. Over the past few decades information systems
have progressed to being virtually everywhere, even to the point
where you may not realize its existence in many of your daily
activities. Stop and consider how you interface with various
components in information systems every day through different

electronic devices. Smartphones, laptop, and personal computers
connect us constantly to a variety of systems including messaging,
banking, online retailing, and academic resources, just to name a
few examples. Information systems are at the center of virtually
every organization, providing users with almost unlimited
resources.
Have you ever considered why businesses invest in technology?
Some purchase computer hardware and software because everyone
else has computers. Some even invest in the same hardware and
software as their business friends even though different technology
might be more appropriate for them. Finally, some businesses do
sufficient research before deciding what best fits their needs. As
you read through this book be sure to evaluate the contents of each
chapter based on how you might someday apply what you have
learned to strengthen the position of the business you work for, or
maybe even your own business. Wise decisions can result in stability
and growth for your future enterprise.
Information systems surround you almost every day. Wi-fi
networks on your university campus, database search services in
the learning resource center, and printers in computer labs are
good examples. Every time you go shopping you are interacting
with an information system that manages inventory and sales. Even

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
