Question no. 5

As a future manager, What is your computer ethics program? Justify each activity.


As a future manager, it is important to establish a computer ethics program in order to keep the good reputation of the company and so that employees would know their responsibilities and limitations in using the computer.
The following is my computer ethics program:

1. All employees of the company should not use the computers to harm other people. For example, it is bad to steal and destroy other people’s books and notebooks, it is equally bad to access and destroy their files.
2. Anyone should not snoop around in other people's files: Reading other people’s e-mail messages is as bad as opening and reading their letters: This is invading their privacy. Obtaining other people’s non-public files should be judged the same way as breaking into their rooms and stealing their documents. Text documents on the Internet may be protected by encryption.
3. Anyone should not interfere with other people's computer work: Computer viruses are small programs that disrupt other people’s computer work by destroying their files, taking huge amounts of computer time or memory, or by simply displaying annoying messages. Generating and consciously spreading computer viruses is unethical.
4. Anyone is not allowed to use the name of the company in any transaction without the authorization of the company.

Question # 4

If you are just a student of RMMC and not currently working, cite a manual procedure here in our school which you prefer to computerize. Describe how this system should function and how can this help the employees and the students of RMMC.

As a student of RMMC, I would like to have a computerized library system wherein students can easily avail/use the library facilities. Example: Students can borrow books wherein there is no need to fill-up borrowing slip to log-out the books in case they want to photocopy it. They would just swipe their library cards on the computer to encode the code number of the books.

Question # 3

Justify or contradict these trends by citing examples.

MIS Trends:

*MIS users are more knowledgeable.

*More computing power is available to the user.

*Resistance to the implementation of emerging MIS is subsiding.
*Connectivity
*MIS is becoming one of the primary means of increasing productivity.

*Companies are using MIS as a competitive strategy.

*MIS is becoming integral to the decision-making process.

*The end user is becoming the focus of MIS activity.

I definitely agree with these trends because information is very important. Having the right informations at the right time will help companies in making strategies to be able to become more advantage and competitive from others. Of course if you are an MIS user you are more knowledgeable and informative compare to those who are not using, in a sense that, informations are just one-click away. For example in the business industry, it is very important that the company knows what is happening or having right information so that they will excel in all aspects and become more productive. Information is use in decision-making that aid the processes of planning and control. Those industries who are implementing the most advance and most competitive infos against their competitors would result to higher revenues.
