The CEO has asked you and Jane to create a chart that he might use as part of his decision process in deciding what countries in which to locate overseas factories
The CEO has asked you and Jane to create a chart that he might
use as part of his decision process in deciding what countries in
which to locate overseas factories. He also wants an accompanying
recommendation summary from an HR perspective.
Prepare a 6-column, 5-row chart for the following countries and parameters: Columns (countries) are: Japan Mexico India China Italy Germany Rows (factors to research) for each country are: Average manufacturing wage Country's minimum wage Typical restrictive work rules where there are unions How unions enhance or detract from company results Country's unemployment rate It is unlikely that you will find all of the necessary data in one online database. Instead, you will have to research a number of different ones. In addition, in some cases you may have to make calculations from a "base=100" report to get an actual dollar figure. Ensure that you cite the references used, in proper APA format. Wikipedia is an unacceptable reference For minimum wages, try one of the following sites: Minimum Wages database List of minimum wages by country For unemployment percentages try the following site: Unemployment rate (most recent) by country (be sure to note the year of the data) Your recommendation summary should explain which country you recommend for the future overseas expansion, based solely on the HR in your chart.

Case Study: Cougar Couriers
Cougar Couriers is a local delivery company that relies on cyclists to deliver cross-town parcels.
The business’ staff includes:
- Anjal, part owner, CFO, who has an Bachelor of Accounting,
- Asmita, part owner, Anjal’s wife, CEO, who dispatches cyclists,
- Bridget, Anjal’s cousin, CIO.
Customers make delivery requests by phone or using a form on the website. The details of the delivery requests are entered, either automatically, or by Asmita, into a Quickbooks-like application, to invoice the customer. Asmita then chooses a cyclist based on their last known location. Asmita then offers the delivery to a cyclist by texting their mobile phone. Jenny is one of the cyclists.
If Jenny accepts the delivery, she rides to the pickup location. At the pickup location, she fills in and signs a pickup acknowledgement form to give to the customer.
While riding to the delivery location, Jenny will often pass other Cougar Courier cyclists, riding in the opposite direction. Anjal would like to improve the efficiency of cyclists by having them carry up to five packages at a time.
For delivery distances under five kilometres, Cougar Couriers is the fastest and second cheapest delivery company in town. For deliveries over five kilometres, Cougar Couriers is slow relative to the van-based delivery companies. Anjal also wants to improve the speed of deliveries over five kilometres using motorbikes and vans. At the delivery location, Jenny fills in a delivery acknowledgement form for the customer to sign.

Anjal’s friend recently suffered a ransomware attack. Anjal has spent a long time building trust with his regular customers. He thinks this trust is vital to his business. He thinks that even one day of downtime would destroy this trust and consequently his business. He wants you to recommend what he should do to prevent and deal with a ransomware attack. The following is Anjal’s current backup and security plan.
- The main server has an external harddrive attached to it. Each day, a backup service performs an incremental backup of files, copying those that have changed since the day before across to the external harddrive.
- He rotates the external backup harddrives roughly once a month. He has three harddrives and keeps the two that not in use at his home.
- The office PCs run Windows 10 and they automatically update both the operating system, and all applications such as web browsers. The PCs have an antivirus, firewall, and malware detection software installed.
- Most of the office devices are connected by wire to an Ethernet switch. However, there is a new printer, used to print marketing materials, that is connected by WiFi. This new, upgraded printer is too big to place in the location of the old printer.
- The router has the WiFi SSID turned off and WiFi encryption (WPA) turned on. The router also has an NBN modem.
In most years, a new competing delivery company will start. Anjal finds they will often undercut his prices for several months. The new companies do not last long though. Two years ago, Bradley, one of Anjal’s best cyclists left Cougar Couriers and started his own delivery business. Bradley took customer details with him. Anjal lost quite a few valuable customers to Bradley. Anjal wants to put in place some procedures to stop this happening again.
Due to tax reasons, Anjal is willing to spend up to $2,000,000 to bring his IT infrastructure and policies up to date.
Case Study Questions
1. Identify the components of information systems components that are currently used by the organisation and how the components fit into the current value chain.
2. Summarise the competitive forces that the organisation is experiencing. Choose one or two competitive strategies that the organisation should follow.
3. Identify at least three new Information Systems that the organisation could implement:
a. At least one Information System that supports the competitive strategy you identified earlier,
b. At least one that incorporates decision support. Identify the decisions that need to be made, the information requirements of those decisions, including the decision structure and information characteristics and attributes.
c. At least one that uses Internet of Things, virtualisation, cloud, data mining, mesh, virtual private networking, or microservices technologies.
Determine the business benefit that each of the information
systems would provide to the organisation.
Narrow your options down to one new Information System which you recommend should be implemented.
4. Discuss the feasibility of implementing your new Information System. Identify the Information Systems components that will be needed to implement the new, priority Information System that you chose in the previous question. Give recommendations for new staff, hardware, applications, services and policies.
5. What are some of the possible security and ethical harms and risks that might arise with the introduction of the information system? What could be done to resolve such issues?
6. Create a draft COBIT IT governance plan by addressing at least four codes from Figure 14.10 of the textbook, e.g., DS7 educate and train users.

Assignment 1 Annotated Bibliography
Weight: 15% Due: Week 4, Friday 4 August 2017 8:00PM AEST
Assignments 1 and 2 require you to apply research skills and information systems theory to a case study.
In this assignment, we would like you to locate and research both scholarly and general references that will support your analysis and recommendations in Assignment 2. You need to identify six unique references that will help you to address the Case Study questions. You will present your references and justifications on the relevance, with proper referencing techniques. You must do this assignment on an individual basis.
Case Study: Cougar Couriers
Cougar Couriers is a local delivery company that relies on cyclists to deliver cross-town parcels.
The business’ staff includes:
- Anjal, part owner, CFO, who has an Bachelor of Accounting,
- Asmita, part owner, Anjal’s wife, CEO, who dispatches cyclists,
- Bridget, Anjal’s cousin, CIO.
Customers make delivery requests by phone or using a form on the website. The details of the delivery requests are entered, either automatically, or by Asmita, into a Quickbooks-like application, to invoice the customer. Asmita then chooses a cyclist based on their last known location. Asmita then offers the delivery to a cyclist by texting their mobile phone. Jenny is one of the cyclists.
If Jenny accepts the delivery, she rides to the pickup location. At the pickup location, she fills in and signs a pickup acknowledgement form to give to the customer.
While riding to the delivery location, Jenny will often pass other Cougar Courier cyclists, riding in the opposite direction. Anjal would like to improve the efficiency of cyclists by having them carry up to five packages at a time.
For delivery distances under five kilometres, Cougar Couriers is the fastest and second cheapest delivery company in town. For deliveries over five kilometres, Cougar Couriers is slow relative to the van-based delivery companies. Anjal also wants to improve the speed of deliveries over five kilometres using motorbikes and vans. At the delivery location, Jenny fills in a delivery acknowledgement form for the customer to sign.
Occasionally, Jenny will make it back to the Cougar Courier office for lunch. She hands over her delivery forms to Asmita. While Asmita 1

You should submit your written assignment in Blackboard on Turnitin. See the video on using Turnitin for assignments in the Assignments section of the Blackboard site if you are not familiar with its use. Also, submit a hard copy of your assignment to the Assignment Box (opposite the lifts) on level 11 of the BA building.
As a guide, you might consider an assignment of about 1750 words or so. Longer submissions are acceptable as long as they are succinct not just ‘padded’. And shorter submissions are also accepted. In other words, write what you think is needed to address the issues that need to be discussed in the assignment. Quality of discussion is important.

CASE STUDY:
The Economic Benefits of Predicting Corporate Distress.
The Department of Finance at the university is seeking to investigate the ability of humans to predict corporate financial distress and even failure as it has not been done before in Australia. Where it has been examined, it has been researched using actual examples of corporate financial distress and the real predictions of bankers and analysts in the real world. “There has been no attempt to do the research this way which will eliminate lots of extraneous factors that occur in the real world and just go to mess up the integrity of research” Professor Nugent, the lead investigator, was quoted as saying. He added, “If we can design a way for humans to correctly predict corporate distress or failure with accuracy, then we can make a small fortune”.
They have recruited a total of 60 MBA students all of whom have at least 5 years work experience. Some are in the first year of their graduate studies others are almost complete. All claim to have “advanced financial literacy”.
The participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups (Group A and Group B). Both groups are given 30 abbreviated sets of financial statements for three years ending in the past twelve months. The 30 companies are all real but disguised. Each participant is asked to “Predict whether the company will experience financial distress within the coming twelve-month period”. Financial distress is defined as “a company having to accept emergency loans or other fund raising or entering into liquidation or voluntary administration”. That first question is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Participants are then asked to rate their confidence in this outcome from 1 (low) to 7 (high).
Participants in Group A are rewarded with a payment of $100 for participating in the study. Participants in Group B are rewarded with $20 for each company they correctly classify as “distressed” or ‘not-distressed”.
Both groups commence the task under laboratory conditions in separate rooms on campus – there are no distractions. The first participant to complete the tasks is from Group A. She completes the task in just 27 minutes. Two more from her group finish at the 40-minute mark, and then there is a “wave” of completions. The last person to finish in Group A takes just under 2 hours. The mean time taken is 52 minutes.
By comparison, the first person to finish in Group B takes 65 minutes. All are complete in just under two hours. The mean or average time is 81 minutes.
On average Group A and B participants both predict about 50% of cases as ‘distressed’ and both get about 30% of the prediction “right” (that is, the participants predict correctly what actually happened to the company in real life). The average level of confidence of the predictions in Group B was statistically significantly higher than Group A.
All of Group A participants collect their $100 participant fee. Participants in Group B average $310 in fees and all but one participant collects their reward. The total cost is much more than your budget. Some of the reward money must come from your personal funds.
