Management information systems Week 7

Week 7:


Lecture:


In todays lecture we spoke about enhancing business intelligence Using information systems, Firstly we spoke about the threats and opportunities about organisations need in business intelligence and a few were things such as global threats or wider choices for consumers etc. We spoke about data base and business intelligence also and what the advantages of these are. Finally the last few slides consisted of Decision support systems (DSS) and expert systems. The lecture was pretty hard however was well explained.


Seminar:


In todays seminar we started off by continuing on doing some work on excel. First we started off by doing some work regarding scenarios in excel which was pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Thereafter we did another exercise on pivot tables which again was pretty straight forward to understand using the exercise sheet. After completing the excel sheets we got into our groups to discuss the presentation and powerpoint slides. Unfortunately two group members were missing so therefore we were not able to discuss thoroughly. In the seminar we learnt a lot in the sense of what pivot tables and scenarios are useful for especially with things such as accounting or money borrowed etc. The seminar was helpful in terms of helping us enhance our excel skills further and learning more on how to use excel. Finally we finished the lecture off by doing our blogs.
