discussion 10 Some systems analysts argue, “Give users what they ask for. If they want lots of reports and reams of data, then that is what you should provide. Otherwise, they will feel that you are trying to tell them how to do their jobs.” Others say, “Systems analysts should let users know what information can be obtained from the system. If you listen to users, you’ll never get anywhere because they really don’t know what they want and don’t understand information systems.” What do you think of these arguments?
Chapter 4 Requirements Model Case Study – Personal Trainer Personal Trainer, Inc. Fact-Finding Summary A typical center has 300-500 members, with two membership levels: full and limited. Full members have access to all activities. Limited members are restricted to activities they have selected, but they can participate in other activities by paying a usage fee. All members have charge privileges. Charges for merchandise and services are recorded on a charge slip, which is signed by the member. At the end of each day, cash sales and charges are entered into the BumbleBee accounting software, which runs on a computer workstation at each location. Daily cash receipts are deposited in a local bank and credited to the corporate Personal Trainer account. The BumbleBee program produces a daily activity report with a listing of all sales transactions. At the end of the month, the local manager uses BumbleBee to transmit an accounts receivable summary to the Personal Trainer headquarters…

Q4: Read the following scenarios. Identify the barriers in communication and flow of information within organization and discuss three solutions for everyone with proper examples. A.All businesses follow timetables, but in some cultures, people strictly adhere to the schedule, whereas in others, they treat it as a suggestion. For some, “five minutes” could mean half an hour, and “tomorrow” could mean the next few days. In Brazil, I wouldn’t start a meeting exactly on time. It feels disrespectful not to wait a bit for the late comers. In the UK, not starting the meeting on time might be considered disrespectful towards those who made it to the meeting on time. B.In some countries, such as Australia, people are generally casual; in others, like Japan, people tend to be more formal. To informal people, formality might be interpreted as the sign of stiffness, while informality to formal people might be perceived as a lack of professionalism.
Accounting Information Systems Read carefully the following case:Imagine that you work as an internal auditor for a company that owns several pharmacies throughout the city. Based on your audit plan, the first cycle to audit will be revenue. The first thing you do is document the processes related to receiving and processing the various sources of income. On your initial visit, you were able to observe the following:Once customers have the items to purchase, they head to the register, where a clerk processes the sale. The pharmacy has three cash registers, but does not have an employee who specifically works as a cashier at each one. This provides flexibility in the operation because, of the three employees that the business has, one can collect at any of the cashiers when available. By not having to leave a single person as a cashier, the cashier can focus on providing more direct customer service, refilling merchandise on the shelves, and even assisting in receiving or dispatching…
