The questions below are based on the following case studies of IT initiatives. Apply the content of Chapters 2, 9, 11, and 12 to address these questions.•How to get the most from a business intelligence application during the post implementation phase? Deep structure transformation at a U.K. retail bank (.pdf) •Accounting logics as a challenge for ERP system implementation: A field study of SAP (.pdf) •Inter-organizational and cross-sector collaborations in e-government (.pdf) Questions:1.Do the information systems in these case studies primarily support decision-making or other kinds of business processes? Identify these decisions or other business processes, and describe how the information systems support them. Should this mix of support for decision-making vs. other kinds of business processes be any different, given the respective organizational contexts?2.Have these information systems transformed the business processes they support, or do they seem to have largely conformed to the processes? Explain your reasoning. Should it have been any different, given the respective organizational contexts?3.Information systems in contemporary organizations tend to be interconnected rather than isolated from each other. From your understanding of organizations, business processes, and systems, suggest how the information systems in these case studies may be interconnected (or could be made to connect) with other information systems within their respective organizations. Explain your reasoning and explicitly state any assumptions you make.
