• Normalization  Understand importance of data modeling
– Streamlining complex groupings of data to minimize redundant
data elements and awkward many-to-many relationships  Write good names and definitions for entities, relationships,

• Referential integrity and attributes

– Rules used by RDBMS to ensure relationships between tables  Distinguish unary, binary, and ternary relationships
remain consistent
 Model different types of attributes, entities, relationships, and

cardinalities
• A correct data model is essential for a system serving the
business well
 Draw E-R diagrams for common business situations
 Convert many-to-many relationships to associative entities

E-R Model Constructs E-R Model Constructs

 Entities: Sample E-R Diagram
 Entity instance–person, place, object, event, concept
(often corresponds to a row in a table)
 Entity Type–collection of entities (often corresponds to a
table)
 Relationships:
 Relationship instance–link between entities (corresponds
to primary key-foreign key equivalencies in related tables)
 Relationship type–category of relationship…link between
entity types
 Attributes:
 Properties or characteristics of an entity or relationship
type (often corresponds to a field in a table)

E-R Model Notations E-R Model Constructs

Cardinality of Relationships
One-to-One
 Each entity in the relationship will have exactly one related
entity
One-to-Many
 An entity on one side of the relationship can have many related
entities, but an entity on the other side will have a maximum of
one related entity
Many-to-Many
 Entities on both sides of the relationship can have many related
entities on the other side

E-R Model Constructs E-R Model Constructs

Binary relationships Associative Entities

 An entity–has attributes
 A relationship–links entities together
 When should a relationship with attributes instead be an
associative entity?
 All relationships for the associative entity should be many
 The associative entity could have meaning independent
of the other entities
 The associative entity preferably has a unique identifier,
and should also have other attributes

 Default primary key for the association relation is
composed of the primary keys of the two entities
(as in M:N relationship)
Identifier Assigned
 It is natural and familiar to end-users
 Default identifier may not be unique

Foreign key goes in the relation on the optional side,

matching the primary key on the mandatory side

Transforming E-R diagrams into relations (table) The Challenge of Big Data

• Big data
– Massive sets of unstructured/semi-structured data from
web traffic, social media, sensors, and so on
• Volumes too great for typical DBMS
– Petabytes, exabytes of data
• Can reveal more patterns, relationships and anomalies
• Requires new tools and technologies to manage and analyze

Business Intelligence Infrastructure
Figure 6.13 Contemporary Business
• Array of tools for obtaining information from separate
systems and from big data Intelligence Infrastructure
• Data warehouse
– Stores current and historical data from many core
operational transaction systems
– Consolidates and standardizes information for use across
enterprise, but data cannot be altered
– Provides analysis and reporting tools
• Data marts:
– Subset of data warehouse
– Typically focus on single subject or line of business

 Bottom line:
Digital Goods
E-commerce firms now have more opportunities to reach
• Goods that can be delivered over a digital network customers, suppliers, and partners through Internet channels.
• Cost of producing first unit is almost entire cost of product The Internet has also given digital firms the opportunity to
• Costs of delivery over the Internet very low create new business models or reshape their current model by
using one or more of the unique features of e-commerce:
• Marketing costs remain the same; pricing highly variable
ubiquity, global reach, universal standards, richness,
• Industries with digital goods are undergoing revolutionary
interactivity, information density, personalization/customization,
changes (publishers, record labels, etc.)
and social technology.

Object-Oriented Development (1 of 2) Figure 13.8 Class and Inheritance
• Object
– Basic unit of systems analysis and design
– Combines data and the processes that operate on those
data
– Data in object can be accessed only by operations
associated with that object
• Object-oriented modeling
– Based on concepts of class and inheritance
– Objects belong to a certain class and have features of that
class
– May inherit structures and behaviors of a more general,
ancestor class

Object-Oriented Development (2 of 2) Computer-Aided Software Engineering

• More iterative and incremental than traditional structured • Software tools to automate development and reduce
development repetitive work, including:
– Systems analysis: Interactions between system and – Graphics facilities for producing charts and diagrams
users analyzed to identify objects – Screen and report generators, reporting facilities
– Design phase: Describes how objects will behave and – Analysis and checking tools
interact; grouped into classes, subclasses, and – Data dictionaries
hierarchies – Code and documentation generators
– Implementation: Some classes may be reused from
existing library of classes, others created or inherited • Support iterative design by automating revisions and
changes and providing prototyping facilities
• Objects are reusable
• Require organizational discipline to be used effectively
– Object-oriented development can potentially reduce
time and cost of development

• Oldest method for building information systems Development Life Cycle
• Phased approach
– Development divided into formal stages
– “Waterfall” approach: One stage finishes before next
stage begins
• Formal division of labor between end users and
information systems specialists
• Emphasizes formal specifications and paperwork
• Still used for building large complex systems
• Can be costly, time-consuming, and inflexible

• Steps in prototyping
– Identify user requirements
– Develop initial prototype
– Use prototype
– Revise and enhance prototype

Prototyping (2 of 2) End-User Development (1 of 2)

• Advantages of prototyping • Allows end users to develop simple information systems
– Useful if some uncertainty in requirements or design with little or no help from technical specialists
solutions • Reduces time and steps required to produce finished
– Often used for end-user interface design application
– More likely to fulfill end-user requirements • Tools include
• Disadvantages – User friendly query languages and reporting
– May gloss over essential steps – PC software tools
– May not accommodate large quantities of data or large
number of users
 May not undergo full testing or documentation

3.1 Organization and Information System 3.1 Organization and Information System

The Technical Microeconomic Definition of the Organization Features of Organizations

• Use of hierarchical structure
• Accountability, authority in system of impartial decision
making
• Adherence to principle of efficiency
• Routines and business processes
• Organizational politics, culture, environments, and
structures

3.1 Organization and Information System 3.1 Organization and Information System

Routines and Business Processes Routines, Business Processes, and Firms

• Routines (standard operating procedures)
– Precise rules, procedures, and practices developed to
cope with virtually all expected situations
• Business processes: Collections of routines
• Business firm: Collection of business processes

Organizational Politics Organizational Culture

• Encompasses set of assumptions that define goal and
• Divergent/different viewpoints lead to political struggle, product
competition, and conflict – What products the organization should produce
• Political resistance greatly hampers organizational change – How and where it should be produced
– For whom the products should be produced
• May be powerful unifying force as well as restraint on
change

3.1 Organization and Information System 3.1 Organization and Information System

Organizational Environments Environments and Organizations Have a Reciprocal

Relationship
• Organizations and environments have a reciprocal
relationship
• Organizations are open to, and dependent on, the social and
physical environment
• Organizations can influence their environments
• Environments generally change faster than organizations
• Information systems can be instrument of environmental
scanning, act as a lens

Disruptive Technologies
• Substitute products that perform as well as or better than
existing product
• Technology that brings sweeping change to businesses,
industries, markets
• Examples: personal computers, smartphones, Big Data, Which is the impact of information
DISCUSSION
artificial intelligence, the Internet systems on organization?
• First movers and fast followers
– First movers—inventors of disruptive technologies
– Fast followers—firms with the size and resources to
capitalize on that technology

3.2 The impacts of information system on organization 3.2 The impacts of information system on organization

Transaction Cost Theory Transaction Cost Theory

• Firms seek to economize on transaction costs (the costs
of participating in markets)
– Vertical integration, hiring more employees, buying
suppliers and distributors
• IT lowers market transaction costs, making it worthwhile
for firms to transact with other firms rather than grow the
number of employees

3.2 The impacts of information system on organization 3.2 The impacts of information system on organization
Agency Theory
Organizational and Behavioral Impacts
• Firm is nexus of contracts among self-interested parties
requiring supervision • IT flattens organizations
– Decision making is pushed to lower levels
• Firms experience agency costs (the cost of managing and
supervising) which rise as firm grows – Fewer managers are needed (IT enables faster decision
making and increases span of control)
• IT can reduce agency costs, making it possible for firms
to grow without adding to the costs of supervising, and • Postindustrial organizations
without adding employees – Organizations flatten because in postindustrial societies,
authority increasingly relies on knowledge and
Bottom line: IS reduces both agency and transaction
competence rather than formal positions
costs for firms, we should expect firm size to shrink over
time as more capital is invested in IT. Firms should have
fewer managers, and we expect to see revenue per
employee increase over time.

Flattening Organizations Understanding Organizational Resistance to Change

• Information systems become bound up in organizational
politics because they influence access to a key resource—
information
• Information systems potentially change an organization’s
structure, culture, politics, and work
• Four factors
– Nature of the innovation
– Structure of organization
– Culture of organization
– Tasks affected by innovation

3.2 The impacts of information system on organization 3.2 The impacts of information system on organization

Organizational Resistance to Information System Innovations Implications for the Design and Understanding of IS
• Organizational factors in planning a new system:
– Environment
– Structure
 Hierarchy, specialization, routines, business processes
– Culture and politics
– Type of organization and style of leadership
– Main interest groups affected by system; attitudes of end
users
– Tasks, decisions, and business processes the system will
assist

3.3 Developing competitive strategies using information systems

Porter’s Competitive Forces Model

• Why do some firms become leaders in their industry?
• Michael Porter’s competitive forces model
How do Porter’s competitive
forces model, the value chain – Provides general view of firm, its competitors, and
model, synergies, core environment
DISCUSSION competencies, and network • Five competitive forces shape fate of firm:
economics help companies
– Traditional competitors
develop competitive strategies
using information systems? – New market entrants
– Substitute products and services
– Customers
– Suppliers

3.3 Developing competitive strategies using information systems 3.3 Developing competitive strategies using information systems

Porter’s Competitive Forces Model Porter’s Competitive Forces Model

• Traditional competitors
– All firms share market space with competitors who are
continuously devising new products, services,
efficiencies, and switching costs
• New market entrants
– Some industries have high barriers to entry, for
example, computer chip business
– New companies have new equipment, younger
workers, but little brand recognition

– Low-cost leadership
• Customers
– Product differentiation
– Can customers easily switch to competitor's products?
– Focus on market niche
Can they force businesses to compete on price alone
in transparent marketplace? – Strengthen customer and supplier intimacy

• Suppliers
– Market power of suppliers when firm cannot raise
prices as fast as suppliers

– Enable new products or services, greatly change loyalty with customers and suppliers
customer convenience and experience – Increase switching costs
– Example: Google, Nike, Apple – Examples: Chrysler, Amazon, Starbucks
– Mass customization

The Business Value Chain Model The Value Chain Model

• Firm as series of activities that add value to products or
services
• Highlights activities where competitive strategies can
best be applied
– Primary activities vs. support activities
• At each stage, determine how information systems can
improve operational efficiency and improve customer and
supplier intimacy
• Utilize benchmarking, industry best practices

3.3 Developing competitive strategies using information systems 3.3 Developing competitive strategies using information systems

Extending the Value Chain: The Value Web The Value Web
• Firm’s value chain is linked to value chains of suppliers,
distributors, customers
• Industry value chain
• Value web
– Collection of independent firms using highly
synchronized IT to coordinate value chains to produce
product or service collectively
– More customer driven, less linear operation than
traditional value chain

Synergies Network-Based Strategies

• When output of some units are used as inputs to others, or • Take advantage of firm’s abilities to network with one
organizations pool markets and expertise another

Core Competencies • Include use of:

– Network economics
• Activity for which firm is world-class leader – Virtual company model
• Relies on knowledge, experience, and sharing this across – Business ecosystems
business units

Network Economics Virtual Company Model

• Marginal cost of adding new participant almost zero, with • Virtual company
much greater marginal gain – Uses networks to ally with other companies
• Value of community grows with size – Creates and distributes products without being limited
by traditional organizational boundaries or physical
• Value of software grows as installed customer base grows
locations
• Example: Li & Fung
– Manages production, shipment of garments for major
fashion companies
– Outsources all work to thousands of suppliers

Business Ecosystems and Platforms An Ecosystem Strategic Model

• Industry sets of firms providing related services and
products
• Platforms
– Microsoft, Facebook
• Keystone firms
• Niche firms
• Individual firms can consider how IT will help them become
profitable niche players in larger ecosystems

Challenges Posed by Strategic Information Systems

• Sustaining competitive advantage -> changing processes and methods
