    About this Assignment


    In this course, you learned about the importance of information systems in business operations.
    To apply what you have learned in the course, each student will select two companies,
    competing companies to research each company's usage of information systems.

    Project Prompts
    Research and discuss each company's history of existence, the information systems utilized by
    each company, and the advantages and disadvantages of employing information systems to
    manage people, organizations, and technology. Also, include a comparison of the information
    system types in the analysis and the business purpose(s) of the system. The written assignment
    should follow APA formatting style. This written research paper should be a minimum of 2,000
    words in length and include responses to address the associated questions.

     What is the corporation's history of existence and what products and/or services does
    the company offer?
     Each company employs what types of information systems? Such as management
    information systems, HR systems, transaction processing systems, etc.
     Are there similarities in the business information systems employed by the companies
    being analyzed?
     How can information systems be used for companies to establish a competitive
    advantage?
     How does the company use information systems to manage data collection and
    manipulate data?

    Using Sources
    Sources for locating the information system(s) employed by a company may include the
    company's corporate website, LinkedIn SlideShare website (which details a company's profile
    and information systems), corporate SEC filings, and public corporate documents on
    information system projects and implementation.
    You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least
    three credible, outside sources and cite them using APA format. Please include a mix of both
    primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed
    journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA (including the
    lesson title and instructor's name).
     Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches,
    company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in
    question.
     Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of
    Management. You may use like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research
    Network to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from
    reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable
    source, though the sources listed in indexed journals are acceptable.
