Management Information Systems Research

 OVERVIEW In this course, you will compose a research paper – a scholarly paper – that explores five topics relating to the information systems that are utilized by management in today’s global On-Demand economy. Before beginning to develop your paper, you will select your five IS-related solutions from the list provided in the course (Module 3). Working on this Research Project paper will help you better understand Information Systems (ISs) that are frequently used by managers at many levels in various types of organizations. You will also enhance your professional growth by conducting research on the five IS-related topics using primary sources outside of the course textbook. SCENARIO You are working, hypothetically, for a medium-to-large aviation-related enterprise, and thanks to your ERAU College of Business degree, you have substantial knowledge of IS. Because of your expertise, you were placed in a management position. Now your superiors expect results! Upper management has tasked you to investigate and evaluate five different IS solutions.

Electronic Records Management (ERM) • write an introductory paragraph, the first two IS-related solutions, and your references from researching the first two solutions. • Add the next two IS-related solutions and references to your edited document. • On the same document, complete your final paper, including the fifth IS-related solution, Abstract, Conclusion, and References. Overview In your role as an employee at a medium-to-large aviation-related business, it’s time to drill down to the specifics for two of the Management Information Systems you selected. As you perform research and compose your data, remember that you are in a mid-to-upper level management position and have significant decision-making influence with your company. Tips provide details regarding how the departments in your organization could benefit from the implementation of the Information System (IS) technologies that you are studying in this course.
