    Case Study: System Analysis and Information Gathering

    GrocerPlus is a well-established supermarket chain in Metropolis with a successful ten-year run that is looking to revamp its inventory management system. Their current system has begun showing signs of inefficiency with frequent mismanagement leading to overstocking or shortage of items, prompting management at GrocerPlus to invest in a robust system with systems analysts and designers as part of their team for this task.

    Assignment: Your primary responsibility as part of this team of systems analysts and designers is to gather relevant information on the current system to analyze it, identify its deficiencies, and devise an efficient alternative design. Your main sources will include management staff, store employees, data records, etc.

    Your task is to identify and choose interactive yet unobtrusive methods of gathering the required information, which may include interviews, questionnaires, document analysis, observations, or using existing system records as means.

    Instructions: Establish the methods by which you will gather data regarding the current inventory management system. Ensure your approach includes both interactive and passive methods of gathering this information.

    Provide a thorough explanation for each method chosen and their advantages and disadvantages within this project context.

    Details each method that will be implemented, detailing what type of information will be gathered through each approach and its importance to systems analysis and design.

    Last, compile all of your findings and explanations into an exhaustive report that can be submitted for evaluation.

    This case study is intended to challenge your ability to select and justify appropriate information-gathering methods in a real-world setting. Your choices will have a substantial effect on the success of analysis and design processes, so it is crucial to carefully consider each option available. (LO1 & LO2)

    Essential Activities:

    1. Reading Chapters 4-5 of your text will assist you with this exercise.
    2. Watching the videos on ‘Information Gathering” and “Data Gathering” will assist you with the exercise.

    Notes:

    1. This paper must be formatted in APA Style 7th edition. The paper should also have a properly formatted title page, introduction, content body, conclusion, and references.

    Greetings Class,

    For this first real discussion post, we will be revisiting the material from chapter one. More specifically, we will be using the material from the chapter on how we come to think about different phenomena and the different types of research that we use to investigate them.

    Therefore, please respond to the prompt below using full and complete sentences. There is no need for the use of a chatgpt search engine as these are your personal ideas, thoughts, and beliefs.

    1. What criminological topic or issue would you focus on if you could design a research project without any concern for costs?

    2. What are your motives for studying this topic? … This means why is this an important topic to you or what do you hope to gain from this study.

    3. List at least four of your beliefs about this phenomenon. Try to identify the sources of each belieffor example, television, newspaper, or parental influence. Again, these are your personal beliefs, no need for chatgpt.

    4. For this last section, you will develop four research questions related to the topic or issue you posed above, one for each of the four types of research (descriptive, exploratory, explanatory, and evaluative). Be specific. Again, refer back to the course text on the four types of research.

    For your post I will prompt you on what to reply to another student. Read through a few of the other student’s post and compare and contrast your major motives/motivations for your particular study.

    As you complete this discussion post, also remember to think about how it is that we can explain social research and the different types that fall within its scope.

    PART 5-

    Students will create a 1.5-2 page-long typed reflection of their visit. Responses must be in MLA format.

    Purpose:

    • Explore in writing what you have experienced at a location of creative expression.

    Instructions:

    • Visit a location of creative expression; this is subjective to you, I suggest a museum, gallery, theatre, church/temple, historic building, film site, play, or exhibit.
    • Reflect on the art you witnessed and/or experienced. How did the location make you feel? What was the aesthetic? How was creativity expressed here and in what form? Did you like or dislike anything in particular, why? Did something specific stand out as beautiful? Was there a connection you felt between the work of art? Talk about your experience.
    • Students are to submit their assignment by Jan 25th, 11:59 pm using the submission link on this page.
    • Use citations and supporting evidence from texts/videos found in your Modules when necessary.
    • Include proof of visit; this can be a photo of you there or a ticket stub. Not included in the page length.
    • It does not need to be a paid event. Remember that there is a museum on the Cuyamaca campus, Heritage of the Americas, and parks usually have free events or historic landmarks. Attending/visiting a church or temple is also free.

    Tips for your submission:

    1. If you visit a historic building, church, or temple; remember about architecture and paintings.
    2. Remember that literature is also considered art; attend a poetry reading or visit a state Library!
    3. Going to a theme park this week or did you go recently? Or have you seen a movie in a theater? Hint Hint
