Discussion: Unlike large organizations, small organizations have been less active in integrating information technologies into their business operations. For example, some of the larger airliners use online information technologies to allow passengers to make reservation, buy a ticket, reserve a seat, check in, and even print their boarding passes online before they get to the airport.

  • Using the airlines example mentioned above, propose several possible IT solutions and how they would benefit a smaller airline to become more successful or attract more clients.
  • Tell us if the availability of information technology services has influenced your decision to travel on a particular airline. What airline was it?Discussion: Unlike large organizations, small organizations have been less active in integrating information technologies into their business operations.

Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors). For example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an artifact of culture is Ashford University’s shield that serves as our logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead paper. Submit a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title and reference pages) describing the culture of either your current or past place of employment. Your paper should provide examples of and address each of the following topics: 1.Observable artifacts 2.Espoused values (These are what organizational members say they value, like ethical practice.) 3.Enacted values (These are reflected in the way individuals actually behave.)

In addition, describe how each item listed above impacts the values and culture of the organization.

Your paper must use a minimum of two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook. Your paper must also follow the APA Style guide.

In addition to the project itself, you’ll first be tasked with creating a proposal for the topic you intend to research and write on. This will discuss your intentions for both major assignments—what you intend to look into for the first paper as well as how you intend to adapt it for the second one. It is not necessary for you to get into specific sources already, as you’ve yet to conduct thorough research, though it might be beneficial for you to do some searching on your own to learn about your topic. In your proposal, you might discuss what you already know about your topic, what you don’t know, what interests you about it, why it’s important, or the larger importance of your topic. Think of this as your initial idea formation phase in order to more fully develop where you intend to take your research. This isn’t meant to cast your topic in stone—your ideas might change as you conduct research and learn new things. That’s completely normal. However, any wholesale changes in topic after submitting this will need to be run past me first to make sure you’re not going too far afield. from 300 to 500 words.
