Q.1 Professor A. Van Cauwenbergh of Antwerp University, in a paper presented at the Tenth
Anniversary Conference of the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management,
presented four revisions to traditional Management Theory. In summary, the revisions are:
(1) The initiative for the renewal and adjustment of the activities of a firm should come from
the different levels in the management hierarchy. “Strategy is not a privilege of top
management”.
(2) Firms, especially big firms, are incoherent systems (goals of the different component
systems are not simply subdivisions of an overall goal; there are individual, conflicting goals
as well).
Some of these differences are manifestations of organizational initiative and vitality. Using
information systems and central planning and rule-making to suppress all differences is
destructive to organizations.
(3) The most vital “fluid” of an enterprise is the aggregate of its entrepreneurial values. The
most fundamental and motivation and control come through these shared values relative to
work, quality, efficiency, etc. Management often neglects these values and assumes that the
collection and dissemination of information will provide sufficient motivation and control.
(4) Enterprises are open systems; their structure and operating processes are determined by
their environment. This means organizations must be designed to continually adjust to the
environment.

2. It should be organized by the cooperation, quality work and efficiency. The enterprises should cope
up or adjust to the new environment so that all the main goals of an enterprises will be
accomplished within the work. The information system should support the planning organization in
the form of combing the information system with the planning and rule making of an enterprise. It
should be in different values that must be shared all together in order for it to supress all the
differences of the ideas and combine the positive
Q.2 Information Technology and Computers have brought information age. The spread of Internet
& relative ease of access made Information Breach easier. Our future is not secure, if our
information is not secure. Information Resources need to be guarded, protected and controlled.
List the precautionary measures to be considered to prevent cybercrime?
Ans : 5 measures to prevent cyber crime :
1. Technical:
There are a variety of different technical countermeasures that can be deployed to thwart
cybercriminals and harden systems against attack. Firewalls, network or host based, are considered
the first line of defense in securing a computer network by setting Access Control Lists (ACLs)
determining which what services and traffic can pass through the check point.
Antivirus can be used to prevent propagation of malicious
Q.3 a. While implementing MIS in any organization change can occur in number of ways.
List and explain the steps in the process as suggested by Lewin’s model.
b. Compare between prototype approach and Life Cycle approach
Ans: a. Explaining the 3 steps of implementing the process suggested by Lewin’s model :
For Lewin, the process of change entails creating the perception that a change is needed, then
moving toward the new, desired level of behavior and finally, solidifying that new behavior as the
norm. The model is still widely used and serves as the basis for many modern change models.
1.Unfreezing:
Before you can cook a meal that has been frozen, you need to defrost or thaw it out. The same can
be said of change. Before a change can be implemented, it must go through the initial step of
unfreezing. Because many people will naturally resist
Q.4 There is an information explosion in today’s society. There are lot of advantages of DBMS
like proper maintenance of the data and maintaining security. Explain the process of data
transition using diagram and an example of your own.
Ans: DFD provides an overview of the data entering and leaving the system. It also shows the
entities that are providing or receiving that data. These correspond usually to the people that are
using the system we will develop. The context diagram helps to define our system boundary to show
what is included in, and what is excluded from, our system.

3. The diagram consists of a rectangle representing the system boundary, the external entities
interacting with the system and the data which flows into and out of the system.
Luckily there are only four different symbols that are normally used on a DFD. The elements
represented are:
•
External entities
Q.5 Write short note on
a. World wide web
b. Voice over IP
c. Intranet
d. Extranet
Ans: a. World Wide Web :
The World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW or W3 commonly known as the web) is a system of
interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web
pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them via
hyperlinks. Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist and at that time employee of CERN, a
European research organisation near Geneva, wrote
Q.6 Artificial intelligent system functions like a human being and helps a manager in taking quick
decisions. Explain the different applications AI using diagram.
Ans : 1. Applications of cognitive science :
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes. It examines
what cognition is, what it does and how it works. It includes research on intelligence and behavior,
especially focusing on how information is represented, processed, and transformed (in faculties such
as perception, language, memory, reasoning, and emotion) within nervous systems (human or other
animal) and machines (e.g. computers). Cognitive
