-Operational Level
*employees develop, control, and maintain core business activities required to run day-to-day operations.
*operational decisions considered structured decisions, which arise when established processes offer potential solutions. made frequently and are almost repetitive, affect short term business strategies
-Managerial Level
*employees are continuously evaluating company operations to hone the firm's abilities to identify, adapt to, and leverage change. cover short- and medium-range firm. allocate resources and monitor performance of organizational subunits incl depts, divisions, process teams, project teams, and other work groups. decisions are considered semi structured decisions, occur in situations in which a few established processes help to evaluate potential solutions, not enough to lead a definite recommended decision
-Strategic
*managers develop overall business strategies, goals, and objectives as part of the company's strategic plan. monitor the strategic performance of the org and its overall direction in the political economic and competitive business environment. strategic decisions are highly unstructured decisions, occurring in situations in which no procedures or rules exist to guide decision makers toward the correct choice. infrequent, extremely important, and typically related to long-term business strategy

    What are three managerial decision-making challenges

    1. analyze large amounts of information
    2. apply sophisticated analysis techniques
    3. make decisions quickly

    What are the three levels of decision making in an orginization

    - strategic,
    - managerial,
    - operational

    Operational decision making

    employees develop, control and maintain core business activities required to run the day-to-day operations. Preformed by lower management, analysts and staff

    structured decisions

    situations where established processes offer potential solutions. Most operational decisions

    Managerial decision making

    employees evaluate company operations to identify adapt to, and leverage change. Preformed by middle management, managers, directors.

    Semi structured decisions

    Most managerial decisions. Occur in situation in which a few established presses help to evaluate potential solutions, but not enough to lead to a definite recommended decision.

    Strategic decision making

    managers develop overall strategies, goals and objectives. Preformed by senior management, presidents.

    Unstructured decisions

    occurs in situation in which no procedures or rules exist to guide decision maker toward the correct choice. It occurs in strategic decision making.

    The granularity of information

    The finer the information the more raw the information, the coarser the information the more summarized the information. At the bottom of the pyramid (analysts) use finer information and the higher up the pyramid (managers and execs) use coarser information.

    Analytical vs transaction information processes

    transactional processes are used my people at the bottom of the pyramid (analysts) and the higher up the pyramid the more analytical the information becomes.

    Metrics

    Measurements that evaluate results to determine whether a project is meeting its goals

    Common types of metrics

    KPIs- key performance indicators,
    Efficiency and effectiveness

    Benchmark

    Baseline values the system seeks to attain

    Benchmarking

    A process of continuously measuring system results, comparing those results to optimal system performance (benchmark values) and identifying steps and procedures to improve system performance.

    OLTP

    Online transaction processing- is capturing of transaction and event date using information systems to (1) process data, (2) store data and (3) update existing data to reflect the new data.

    OLAP

    Online analytical processing is the analysis of summarized or aggregated information sourced from transaction processing systems data, and sometimes external information to create business intelligence.

    Business intelligence

    Describes information that people use to support their analytical and strategic decision-making efforts.

    Consolidation

    the aggregation of information and features roll-ups to complex grouping of interrelated information

    Drill down

    enables users to view details and details of details of information. Viewing monthly, weekly, daily or hourly information

    Slice and dice

    the ability to look at information from different perspectives. One slice of information could display all product sales during a given promotion, another slice could display a single product's sales for all promotions.

    KPIs

    key performance indicators- the quantifiable metrics a company uses to evaluate progress toward critical success factors.
    - turnover rates of employees
    - number of product returns
    - number of new customers
    - average customer spending

    Efficiency metrics

    Focuses on the extent to which a firm is using its resources in an optimal way. Measure the performance of Is itself and such as throughput, transaction speed, and system availability.

    Effectiveness metrics

    Focuses on how well a firm is achieving its goals and objectives. Measures the impact IS has on business processes and activities, including customer satisfaction and customer conversation rates.

    Throughput

    the amount of information that can travel through a system at any point

    transaction speed

    the amount of time a system takes to perform a transaction

    system availability

    the number of hours a system is available for users

    web traffic

    includes a host of benchmarks such as the number of pages viewed, the number of unique visitors and the average length of viewing time.

    Response time

    the time it takes to respond to interactions such as a mouse click

    Usability

    the ease with which people perform transactions and or find information

    customer satisfaction

    measured by such benchmarks as satisfaction surveys, customer retention percentages, and increasing revenue per customer.

    conversion rates

    the number of customers and organization touches for the first time and persuades to purchase a product/service.

    financial

    such as return on investment, cost/benefit analysis, and break even analysis.

    TPS

    transaction processing system. Basic business system that serves the operational level and assists in making structure decisions.

    DSS

    decision support system. Models information to support managers and business professionals during the decision-making process

    Three quantitative models used by DSS

    1. what-if analysis
    2. Sensitivity analysis
    3. Goal-seeking analysis

    The interaction between TPS and a DSS

    the TPS supplies transactional data to the DSS. The DSS summarizes and aggregates the information from the many different TPS systems, which assists managers in making informed decisions.

    Why do you need interaction between a TPS and EIS

    the EIS needs information from the TPS to help executives make decisions. Without knowing order information, inventory and shipping information from the TPS, it would be very difficult for the CEO to make strategic decisions for the organization

    EIS

    executive information systems

    AI

    artificial intelligence- simulates human intelligence such as the ability to reason and learn.

    Intelligent system

    various commercial applications of artificial intelligence.

    Customer facing processes

    result in a product or service that is received by an organization's external customer

    Business facing processes

    are invisible to the external customer but are essential to the effective management of the business

    Business process

    a standardized set of activities that accomplish a specific task, such as processing a customer's order

    Business process improvement

    attempts to understand and measure current processes and upgrade them. It is a cyclical activity. Metrics at the end are feedback for a new round of improvements

    BPR

    business process re-engineering- the analysis and redesign of workflow within and between enterprises. A true BPR effort does more for a company than simply improve it by performing a process better, faster and cheaper.

    Process change spectrum

    No benefit, small magnitude of change: automate.
    Improve efficiency, larger magnitude of change: streamline.
    Match Best practice, larger magnitude of change: business process reengineering.
    Define best practice larger magnitude of change: strategic reengineering.
    And lastly you can redone industry.

    Business process modeling

    The activity of creating a detailed flow chart or process map of a work process showing its inputs, tasks and activities in a structured sequence.

    Business process model

    a graphic description of a process, showing the sequence of process tasks, which is developed.
    As-is process model: represents the current state of operation, without any specific improvements.
    To-Be process model: shows the results of applying change improvement opportunities.
