22/11/2010(18:53): I emailed Robin and Cormac asking them to select a topic ASAP!
4. IS and strategy.
7. Decision making. Hierarchy of IS in business
8.Enterprise systems, reengineering (BPR)
10. e-Business
I also chose 6. Value creation, C.A. and how I.S. aids in C.A. for my other part of the report.
22/11/10(19:00): I Googled “clockspeed double helix” and got eanh.net/notes/DoubleHelix-CharlesFine.pdf. I then got the double helix on page 4/9 to apply to education or an organisation in education. I plan on asking Seamus Hill or Martin Hughes, where they think NUIG exists on the Double helix.
22/11/10(19:15) I emailed Seamus Hill, asking him for his insight on the double helix conundrum.
22/11/10(19:28) I Googled “information systems and strategy” and got a very interesting result. http://www.uremovic.biz/dl/Information%20Systems%20Strategy%202006-2010%20Final.pdf It is a document about Bournemouth Universities Information systems strategy 2006-2010.
I also looked at a few other documents like http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/PUB3001.pdf but they weren’t very interesting.
23/11/10(10:15) Myself and Andrew arranged a meeting for our group, to take place today at ~2pm. We also discussed the progress we have made with our parts of the reports.
23/11/10(12:11) I texted Adrian informing that we had a meeting at 2pm.
23/11/10(13:00): I began writing a hard copy of the report introduction (rough draft). I plan on uploading it to Google docs for the other group members to help compose and edit it.
23/11/10(14:00): we held our meeting in the Cairnes. Cormac chose 4. IS and Strategy and 7.Decision making. Hierarchy of IS in Business. And Robin chose 8.Enterprise systems, reengineering (BPR) and 10.eBusiness.
23/11/10(14:20) I put up a rough draft of the Report Introduction on Google docs.
23/11/10(17:15) I Googled “competitive advantage and information systems” and went onto http://www.helium.com/items/853154-maximizing-information-systems-to-gain-a-competitive-advantage I just gave it a quick scan, it may be useful for later.I also scanned a few other links but didn’t really find anything of real interest like: http://jis.sagepub.com/content/25/1/51.abstract
24/11/10(21:23): I wrote a “Brief “”Clockspeed”” Analysis of Education” in google docs and granted the other group members permission to edit it. I also edited The Introduction on google docs because it had a few spelling mistakes.
24/11/10(22:07): I started thinking about my other part of the report. I came up with the a few ideas and questions to help me begin my research. I am going to look at the top rated (most successful?) schools in the world. I may investigate Cambridge, Harvard or TCD and see what I.S. they have implemented and see if it has in fact helped them gain competitive advantage.
25/11/10(15:15): Robin sent me an email requesting that I share some documents with his private email account. I agreed and changed the permissions on the Google docs.
23/11/10(16:55): I approached Seamus Hill after the MIS lecture, asking for advice on the Appendices of the report and the double helix. He gave some useful advice relating to the appendices and he said I should refer my question about the helix to Martin Hughes.
25/11/10(18:28): I emailed Martin Hughes asking for advice in relation to the Double Helix of 3rd Level Education.
25/11/10(18:24): I emailed Andrew recommending he look at Rosetta Stone as a disruptive technology to Education because it is a threat to languages teaching, it is software and hardware based and it wouldn’t be possible without the utilization of Information Systems.
25/11/10(19:04): I wrote a piece on ERP in google docs and shared it with the others.
25/11/10(20:25) : Made 5th blog post
