Now that you know the definitions of data, information and knowledge, compare and contrast all three terms using the following scenario:

Big Bank runs a free daycare service for all of its employees.

Include the answers to the following questions in your document or infographic:

• Why does it matter if an information system developer mixes up the terms data,information, and knowledge?

Select an information system you use on a regular basis. ( If at work include what is the function)

Create an overview that explains the following:

The type of the information system

The evolution of the selected type of information system. (e.g. the evolution of student financial aid systems in general, a customer relations management, Enterprise services; Include versions x.y, )

How the information system affected jobs and careers. (e.g. before systems were developed and which jobs supported the function of financial aid that do not exist today due to technology)

The names of the components used and a description of the purpose or role of each. (Hint: Use information system components you learned so far.)

The benefits this system evolution has brought to you, the organization implementing the change, and other people or organizations within the community

Present your recommendation in one of the following ways:

A 2-3 page Microsoft Word document( May insert diagrams, use word wrap)

A 5- to 8-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker notes and appropriate animations

Individual: Social Media and the Business-Consumer Relationship

Social media and social computing changed the dynamic of the business and consumer relationship. Social media provides organizations with a powerful tool to establish brands, create buzz about products, and build customer loyalty. On the other hand, consumers can, and often do, use social media to self-organize and demand changes that align with their preferences – regardless of whether it is a benefit to the organization.Research a recent event in which individuals used social-media to self-organize and create a change in a large organization’s decision, practice, or strategy. Examples include changes to policies or practices of for-profit company, local or national governments, or large institutions such as universities or religious orders.

Provide an in-depth overview of this event that describes the following:

The event itself and the concerns of the individuals (e.g., consumers or citizens)

How individuals used mobile technology and networks to organize and communicate among themselves

The communication methods between the community created by the individuals and the organization

How the use of social media affected decisions, actions, or outcomes

Changes the organization may need to make to its information system to track or use the data created during the event or in response to the event

Your thoughts and reasoning regarding whether the use of social media has led to a change for the benefit of the citizens and the consumers or the organization.

Document your findings using one of the following options:

A 1- to 2-page Microsoft®Word document

A 10- to 12-slide Microsoft®PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes
