The document is a communication directed towards students regarding assistance with assignments, urging them to send their details via email or call for emergencies. It includes questions and answers related to information technology concepts, such as the characteristics of technologically enabled organizations, knowledge acquisition, and the differences in strategic planning between service firms and manufacturers. Additionally, it touches on software types, floating-point instructions, and the function of local area networks and online analytical processing (OLAP).
![Answer: Most flexible manufacturing systems are being justified on the basis that they will be able to
adapt to unknown future requirements. However, this assumes that future requirements remain within
the range of change envisioned by the system’s designers. When demands change beyond this range,
the system becomes obsolete. For example, when the personal computer industry switched from 5.25-
inch diskettes to 3.5-inch diskettes, even the
Q. 6. What kind of business activities do you think are most amenable to common systems indifferent
countries?
Answer: The rapid and constant changes that are very common to today's business environments affect
not only the business itself, but also its supporting business information systems [IS]. As a result, both
business processes and information systems require constant change, renovation, and adaptation to
meet actual business needs.
In the development of business IS, the existence of three elements has long been recognized: data,
processes, and rules. Whereas the first two have been integrated using the object -oriented paradigm,
rules are commonly neglected and left implicit in the program code (Diaz et al., 1998). The problem was
identified in Appleton (1984) as the 'missing link'
Q. 7. What kind of programs do you think are likely to make the most use of floating –
pointinstructions?
Answer: The BASIC assembler, as standard, does not have any support for true floating point
instructions. You have the ability to convert integers to your implementation-defined 'floating point' and
perform basic mathematics with them (most usually fixed point), but you cannot interact with a floating
point co-processor and do things the 'native' way. There are, however, patches which extend the things
that the assembler can do - which include FP instructions.
The ARM processor can interface with up to sixteen co-processors. The ARM3 and later have virtual co-processors
within the ARM to handle internal
Q. 8. Distinguish between computer hardware & software which most concerns a manager?
Answer: Software is a general term used to describe a collection of computer programs, procedures,
and documentation that perform some task on a computer system. Practical computer systems divide
software systems into three major classes: system software, programming software, and application
software, although the distinction is arbitrary and often blurred. Software is an ordered sequence of
instructions for changing the state of the computer hardware in a particular sequence. It is usually
written in high-level programming languages that are easier and more efficient for humans to use

In the past new technologies were meet with resistance that has since subsided and in many ways have become a part of standard operating procedure in our daily lives. The business world has not escaped the advancements of technology; in fact many companies have embraced the innovations and use them to their benefit. Employees in one office can communicate with their counterparts, clients and others almost effortlessly and in real time in other offices, states, and on other continents. Olsen & Pedersen (2009) postulate that modern technology is enveloping, multifaceted and rapidly Q. 2. How does an Organization acquire &disseminal knowledge? Answer:Knowledge acquisition refers to the knowledge that a firm can try to obtain from external sources. External knowledge sources are important and one should therefore take a holistic view of the value chain (Gamble & Blackwell 2001). Sources include suppliers, competitors, partners/alliances, customers, and external experts. Communities of practice can extend well outside the firm.Knowledge acquisition is a topic that could fill books and extend well outside the knowledge management (KM) focus. For this reason, detailed descriptions of how to manage external relationships are beyond the scope of this topic. However, since KM is Q. 3. Why do you suppose inquiry – only applications were developed instead of fully on linessystem? Answer: The major factor is costassociated with Participation constraint - a participation constraint determines whether relationships must involve certain entities. An example is if every department entity has a manager entity. Participation constraints can either be total or partial. A total participation constraint says that every department has a manager. A partial participation constraint says that every employee does not have to be a manager. Overlap constraint - within an ISA hierarchy, an overlap constraint determines whether or not two subclasses can contain the same entity. Covering constraint - within an ISA hierarchy, a Q.4. What kind of technology is least flexible? Most flexible? Q. 5. How does strategic planning differ between a firm that offers services & one thatmanufacturers a product? Is there a difference in the impact of technology on strategy inany two types of firms?

- 4. Q. 9. What kind of software does a server for a local area network need to have? Answer: A Local Area Networks connects computers together to exchange data. Apart from the computers, and other devices like printers and faxes, a LAN has to have six essential components to function.A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link. Typically, connected devices share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data storage Q. 10. What is OLAP? How does it contribute to the organization? Answer: OLAP (online analytical processing) enables a user to easily and selectively extract and view data from different points-of-view. OLAP (online analytical processing) is computer processing that enables a user to easily and selectively extract and view data from different points of view. For example, a user can request that data be analyzed to display a spreadsheet showing all of a company's beach ball products sold in Florida in the month of July, compare revenue figures with those for the same products in September, and then see a comparison of other Dear students get fully solved assignments Send your semester & Specialization name to our mail id : “ [email protected] ” or Call us at : 08263069601 (Prefer mailing.
