Assignment 1: Information Needs for the AIS

Due Week 2 and worth 200 points

In 1967, Russell Ackoff presented a classical analysis of misinformation in management (Ackoff’s Management Misinformation Systems, Case 1-1, pg. 21 of the text). Now, you need to fast-forward to the present. After reading the case, craft your own version of misinformation in management by developing five (5) key incorrect assumptions that management makes about its accounting information systems.

For this assignment, research the Internet or Strayer databases for information related to improper assumptions concerning accounting information systems.

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:

  1. Based on your research, assess how corporate leaders may make improper assumptions related to accounting information systems and the related information. Indicate the most negative potential impacts on business operations related to these assumptions. Provide support for your rationale.
  2. Suggest three to four (3-4) ways in which organizational performance may be improved when information is properly managed within a business system. Provide support for your rationale.
  3. Evaluate the level of system security (i.e., high, medium, low) needed to ensure information integrity within automated business systems. Provide support for your evaluation.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Section 1 – Business Model Budjet Airlines A new European-style budget airline business has arrived.

/in /by

Section 1 – Business Model

Budjet Airlines

A new European-style budget airline business has arrived in New Zealand. The company has purchased a new fleet of aircraft. The company believe the new aircraft will allow them to compete in the New Zealand market by offering more seats on busy route during peak periods. The aircraft have double the capacity of those servicing the targeted routes today.

The business plan requires that the seats be near full when the aircraft do fly. The strategy is to fly during peak periods only, as flying with empty seats does not make economic sense.

The new CEO made a statement about the new business.

“Budjet is here to finally bring value for money to the New Zealand and Australian markets. Our experience in the airline business and investment in a brand new fleet of aircraft will shake up the prices and bring real value to Aussi and Kiwi customers.”

The airline plan to follow a model well known in Europe where the flights are “no-frills”. The basic service allows for a small carry-on bag only. Extra bags have extra charges based on the weight of the individual items.

A menu of snacks and drinks is available. All in-flight items carry an extra charge. If the passenger wishes to have a meal or drink the will be charged. In-flight entertainment is also available at an extra charge.

The airline believe market is ready for their service as many of the flight are relatively short and their market survey shows many customers feel the basic will be sufficient. Their new extra capacity aircraft will bring extra economies of scale for them.

Section 2 – Business Details

A more detailed description airline flight plans.

The costs of the new business are extremely important. The new management believe that great technology is necessary if the business is to succeed.

Budjet airline must have seamless booking, check-in, boarding and departure systems. Extra costs apply for delayed flights. Customers will be notified of flight information and any changes to the flight details.
The airports covered will be
– Auckland
– Wellington
– Christchurch
– Sydney
– Melbourne

Peak times are around weekends and at the start and end of the business days.

Customer flights are typically round-trip, that is an outbound and a return flight. These should be very simple to book.

Some travellers, usually business people or students, require one-way flights.

The airline want to participate in multi-stop arrangements, where a traveller is on a world tour for example, but they are cautious of the impact of such arrangement on their business plans. This will not be required in this first phase of the business.

It is essential that all aircraft are full during the flight times. If seats are available close to the departure date then seats MUST be offered at discounted rates to attract extra passengers. This is in direct contrast to existing airlines where early booking has price advantages but a very important part of the business plan.

Section 3 – Project Requirements

Project Requirement Details.

You are working on the business website where all flight bookings will be made. Customer will use the same system as the internal staff. The internal staff will have different capabilities in the system.

To complete this project you must define a set of requirements for this business case, given the details above, and design a user interface for the website that fits the business model.

The requirements should follow a standard requirements document format that you should chose. The user interface design should include example screenshots clearly showing the element of the systems and the relationship to the booking functionality.

Produce two reports
1. Requirements definition
2. User interface design specification

Business Law 1 – Essay2 1 answer below »

State and Federal Courts

In this assignment, you will consider what influences interstate commerce, and if exceptions to statutes are possible.

Scenario: Commerce Clause

ABC Freightways maintained its principal place of business in Arkansas. However, they provided trucking services in all states west of the Mississippi River, which included the State of Kansas.

The State of Kansas passed a law that restricted the length of trucks that could use its interstates to 55 feet. While the length of single trailers are usually no more than 55 feet, that of double trailers are usually 65 feet. Other neighboring states adopted the length of their trucks to be 65 feet. Because of this statute, ABC Freightways could not use their double trailers in the State of Kansas. ABC Freightways filed a lawsuit claiming that the State of Kansas statute was an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce.

The State of Kansas provided one exception in the statute that allowed cities along the borders of the state to make an exception to the law that allowed trucks in excess of 55 feet to use their local roads.While waiting on the case to be resolved, ABC Freightways learns from two regular drivers that several highway patrol officers in the State of Kansas offered to overlook the double trailers as long as they traveled through the state on weekends and between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. during the week. The officers suggested that contributions to the trooper's union would be nice.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about interstate commerce. You can use the following terms for your search:Interstate commerceCommerce clauseTrucking companies

Based on your research, understanding, and the scenario, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the following questions:What state or states could ABC Freightways file the lawsuit?Should the lawsuit be filed in a state or federal court? Why? Does it matter?Is the State of Kansas statute an impermissible burden on interstate commerce? Why?Does the exception to the statute survive the constitutional challenge? Why?What are your recommendations to resolve this lawsuit?What are the ethical issues related to the offer made by the state troopers? How should ABC Freightways respond to these ethical issues?

Support your responses with examples.

Dracca’s Senior Vice President of Sales, Bob Marley, and one of his sales representatives, Bill Farian, were on a conference call and learned that Dracca’s new line of high chairs was going to be recalled the next day. During the call, Farian stated, “This won’t be good for stock prices.” After the call ended, Marley and Farian immediately contacted their brokers and sold a large portion of their interests in Dracca shares.

Very Good Vinyls (VGV) was a plastic company that periodically purchased used equipment from Dracca’s plant where the new line of high chairs was produced. In 2009, VGV purchased a 750-ton injection-molding machine from Dracca for $150,000. Because of the good relationship between VGV and Dracca, Dracca extended credit to VGV for the equipment. Last month, VGV sold the injection-molding machine to a small start-up company for $1,500 two days before filing bankruptcy. VGV still owes Dracca $100,000 for the machine.

In light of these facts, please respond to the following questions using course material and credible outside research to support your findings. A minimum of one paragraph per question is necessary to adequately address the questions posed. Please submit the paper in APA format.

  • Did Marley and Farian commit any securities violations? Please explain the reasons for your conclusion. What factors might the court consider in conducting such an analysis? Would the analysis be different for Marley than Farian? Why or why not?
  • Presuming Farian’s statement “This won’t be good for stock prices” could be considered disclosure of plan to trade on the nonpublic information, would Farian’s sale of stock be a section 10(b) violation? Would it be ethical? Why or why not?
  • Discuss the legal and ethical issues associated with VGV’s action in selling the molding machine before filing bankruptcy. What recourse does Dracca have in recovering the monies still owed on the equipment?
  • What actions (internal and external) do you recommend to Dracca to remedy the ethical and legal considerations of this scenario?
