CH13-Transition..-> Mini-case 1 

Nancy is the IS department head at MOTO Inc., a

human resources management firm. The IS staff at

MOTO Inc. completed work on a new client management

software system about a month ago. Nancy was

impressed with the performance of her staff on this

project because the firm had not previously undertaken

a project of this scale in house. One of Nancy’s weekly

tasks is to evaluate and prioritize the change requests

that have come in for the various applications used by

the firm.

Right now, Nancy has on her desk five change

requests for the client system. One request is from 

a system user who would like some formatting changes

made to a daily report produced by the system. Another

request is from a user who would like the sequence of

menu options changed on one of the system menus to

more closely reflect the frequency of use for those

options. A third request came in from the billing department.

This department performs billing through the use

of a billing software package. A major upgrade of this

software is being planned, and the interface between the

client system and the billing system will need to be

changed to accommodate the new software’s data structures.

The fourth request seems to be a system bug that

occurs whenever a client cancels a contract (a rare

occurrence, fortunately). The last request came from

Susan, the company president. This request confirms the

rumor that MOTO Inc. is about to acquire another new

business. The new business specializes in the temporary

placement of skilled professional and scientific

employees, and represents a new business area for

MOTO Inc. The client management software system

will need to be modified to incorporate the special client

arrangements that are associated with the acquired firm.

Questions: 

How do you recommend that Nancy prioritize these

change requests for the client/management system?

You will review both quantitative research.  The topic is up to you as long as you choose a peer-reviewed, academic research piece.  I suggest choosing a topic that is at least in the same family as your expected dissertation topic (cybersecurity) so that you can start viewing what is out there. 

Please use APA formatting and include the following information:

• Introduction/Background:  Provide context for the research article.  What led the author(s) to write the piece? What key concepts were explored? Were there weaknesses in prior research that led the author to the current hypothesis or research question?
• Methodology:  Describe how the data was gathered and analyzed.  What research questions or hypotheses were the researcher trying to explore? What statistical analysis was used?
• Study Findings and Results:  What were the major findings from the study? Were there any limitations?
• Conclusions:  Evaluate the article in terms of significance, research methods, readability and the implications of the results.  Does the piece lead into further study? Are there different methods you would have chosen based on what you read? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article in terms of statistical analysis and application? (This is where a large part of the rubric is covered.) 
• References
