Question.1. “The way organizations
cannot exist without MIS (Management Information System), even information does
not exist without organization.” Discuss.
Answer: What is an Organization?
An organization is a stable, formal
social structure that takes resources from the environment and processes them
to produce outputs. This technical definition focuses on three elements of an
organization. Capital and labor are primary production factors provided by the
environment. The organization (the firm) transforms these inputs into
Question.2. What are the features of a
language which should be considered for its selection in the design of a
system? Explain your answer with special reference to on-line system.
Answer:
Just like our universe, the world of code is an ever-expanding one, with newer
technologies coming into play, newer methods of solving old problems and newer
opportunities to be explored. The benefits of top-notch coding practices and
their results are almost endless, to say the least. It is no wonder the masses,
especially the younger generation, are curious about code and a vast majority
are turning to our learned friend Mr. Google for answers on how to become an
expert coder and where to begin.
Question.3.
“Switching systems are connected to each other through point-to-point media.”
Explain in the light of the statement the concept of connectivity through
switched networks.
Answer: In the simplest terms, a switch is a
mechanism that allows us to interconnect links to form a larger network. A
switch is a multi-input, multi-output device that transfers packets from an
input to one or more outputs. Thus, a switch adds the star topology (see Figure
56) to the set of possible network
structures. A star topology has several attractive properties:
· Even though a switch has a fixed number of inputs and outputs, which
limits the number of hosts that can be connected to a single switch, large
networks can be built by interconnecting a number of switches.
·
We can connect switches to
each other and

Question.4.
“Several problems may motivate management in an organization to adopt the
database approach- focusing on the problem of the data.” Discuss the major
problems that motivate a database approach along with the taxonomy of data
structures.
Answer: database
approach is entirely new reflects a lack of historical perspective. Data has
always existed in organisations, and accountants and bureaucrats have
traditionally controlled it to provide information in support of operations and
management. The approach may seem radically new to people in data processing,
but it is not. Many electronic data processing (EDF) departments have been so
over whelmed with the programming aspects, that they have not applied
well-known, sound management practices such as accountability and control. This
"radical new concept" is merely a return to good management-of an old
resource.
Growing
recognition of data as a valuable
Question.5. “Computer virus is a
software code that can infect other computer programs by altering them to
include a copy of it.” Discuss the concept of computer virus and its main
characteristics.
Answer: Computer Virus
A computer virus is a malicious
program that self-replicates by copying itself to another program. In other
words, the computer virus spreads by itself into other executable code or
documents. The purpose of creating a computer virus is to infect vulnerable
systems, gain admin control and steal user sensitive data. Hackers design
computer viruses with malicious intent and prey on online users by tricking
them.
One of the ideal methods by which
viruses spread is through emails – opening the attachment in the email,
visiting an infected website,
