Assignment

Paste these
instructions on the cover page of your case paper, using a small font.

After
reviewing the required reading for this module (and if you have time, the
optional reading), write a 5-page paper addressing the following five
questions:

What is an
organization?

What is a
business process?

What
generic types of structures can organizations operate under?

Why do
organizations execute business processes?

Why do
organizations use technology to accomplish business processes?

Important:
Note that depending on the author, a process may be referred to as an activity
or a task. For the purpose of this module, assume they are synonymous unless
the definition used by a specific author has the word activity or task inside.

You should
consider approaching the question as follows:

Identify
definitions of an organization by various other scholars or practitioners, and
discuss the similarities and differences in the definitions. You must use the
background reading and/or search for scholarly articles using the school’s
academic search tool. Do not use the dictionary.

Identify
definitions of business processes (which may be referred to as tasks or
activities by some) and the types of business processes discussed by past
researchers. You must use the background reading and/or search for scholarly
articles using the school academic search tool. Explain the similarities and
differences in the definition.

Explain the
relationship between an organization, various parts of an organization, and
business processes.

Explain why
and how technology is used within organizations to accomplish business
processes.
