Week 3
In today's lecture, we had a guest speaker who was giving advise about doing our assignments. He advises us to avoid plagiarism, copying from other students and to reference any textbook we use. Failing to do that will result to consequences such as removing you from the course.
After that, we had a business owner, Emilie Mendy whose company, Bizzie Bodies teaches French to young children using art.She explains the start up of the business, the workshops they conduct, the planning, the funding, the opportunities and partnerships ,the future but also the challenges the business is having.
Finally, we had a lecture about Managing IS Infrastructure and Services. I've learned that the same way we need infrastructure like roads, bridges etc...,businesses need as well IS Infrastructure.
I've learned the components of an IS Infrastructure such as Hardware (Computer types) and the systems Software.

Today's lesson was about the Business Models in the Digital world.
We went through what an organisation was first .Organisation is made from a collection of processes that is made of a set of activities,routines,procedures and policies that need to be followed.It is a technical structure to use resources within an environment.There is as well the behaviuoural part in an organisation such as rights,privileges,obligations and responsibilities.

Week 1
Today's lecture is an introduction to Management and Information Systems (MIS)
which is getting the right information, at the right time, to the right people but also the module guide which contents everything we have to do or know for the second semester.
We went through the module guide with Haider Bilal, the lecturer who explain deeply what is expected from us during the semester. He explains how the we will work as a group for the first task.
The group of five will choose a name for their company, work with a real business. The company will analyse,understand,identify and find a IS solution for the business to help support their business strategy. We talk about how we will go about it and how the group work will help us do the individual report we have to do at the end of the semester.
The second part of the lecture is about the 21st century challenges for organisations.
we talk about the evolution of the way informations are shared from the primitive stage to the information age. We talk about the key factors enabling globalisation and outsourcing.
There are five factors of trend that affect all businesses: Social Media, which are the most dominant way of socialising; Internet Things; Cloud Computing; Big Data and Mobile.
MIS is vital today when it comes to manage the flow of information in an organisation.
