Case Study Guidelines
1. Students are to from a group of 3 -5 students and has to work collaboratively on one the following two options
A. Case study
Students will write a case that illustrate the use of Information systems in an organization. The three main elements of a case that should be covered are:
o Reality: choose an organization that actually uses information systems that you want to highlight where you have a decision maker, a set of problem they faced and how they arrive to the solution. You will also look at the real data and the way it has been used to make a decisions.
o Originality: Concept or a context that make the case original worth to be highlighted
o Theory: what theory is being used to build the decision making process
B. Information System Design
Design an information system using MS ACCESS (More details with the instructor)
Managing the group work
• You can choose students you want to work with to form one group. Please refer to me as early as possible if you can't put yourself in a group.
• You may experience difficulties in getting adequate contribution from individuals in your group, but it is expected that team members will be sympathetic towards anyone who is failing due to problems of personal nature and try to resolve any problems facing within the team. However, if there is consensus amongst the rest of the group that reasonable efforts have been made to ensure contribut ion and one member still does not contribute, then you can bring the case to my attention, I will investigat e and make final decision.
• It is difficult to think of circumstances in which the late submission of group work would be deemed reasonable. One of the perceived strengths of group work is that it allows groups to cope with setbacks that sometimes affect individual students.
• Excuses like "the person supposed to be doing that part has gone off sick" are unlikely to be accepted. You should prepare far enough in advance and have planned things well enough to allow other group members to cover omissions by individuals.
