Question 1: Describe the concept of 'business value'. In your attempt, you should illustrate how IT/IS can help to deliver business value.
Question 2: Despite the widely held perception that IT/IS systems can 'add value' to business, there have been a number of well published IT/IS failures (for example, the London Ambulance Service, the London Stock Exchange's Project Taurus, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Project Trilogy and Nike's Project Integrated Enterprise Software).
Question 3: Discuss what may lead to the dramatic failure of strategic information systems planning efforts and suggest what mechanisms should be part of any strategic information systems planning effort to minimize the risk of failure.
Question 4: Compare and contrast Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Your answer should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, as well as issues which you regard as important when attempting to consider deploying these technologies as strategic weapons in business today.
Question 5: Choose Geographical Information Systems (GIS) OR Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), as a strategic option. Critically discuss how you (as the Director of IT/IS of a large house building firm) would manage the strategic option you have chosen.
