Where are we going into todays businesses.

Does the Tuscon data-mining project inappropriately violate the privacy of Internet users, or is it an acceptable tradeoff to more intelligently combat terrorism?  Explain your answer.

Data mining is the process and a set of techniques for discovering valuable information,       often called “intelligence”, that is not explicitly stored in the database. It is based on longstanding theories of statistics. Data mining is seen as an increasingly important tool by modern business to transform data into business intelligence giving an informational advantage. It is currently used in a wide range of profiling practices, such as marketing, surveillance, fraud detection, and scientific discovery.  There is what people always say privacy is an issue that is hotly debated, and it is likely that it will continue to be debated in the future. In the information age, it sometimes seems as if everyone wants to know everything about everybody else. The rapid transfer of personal information has led to the rise of identity theft because of privacy concerns, it is likely that data mining will become a well known topic of discussion within the next 10 years. When asked about government surveillance and data mining, many people respond by declaring: "I've got nothing to hide."  (Schneier, 2007) In my view, protecting civil liberties does not include protecting criminal and unlawful activities, such as committing electronic commerce frauds, money laundering, tax evasion, running child pornography sites on the Internet, scamming, hacking, spreading computer viruses, etc. Therefore, to answer the question is data-mining inappropriate no if it use for protecting the innocent.

Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.

The future of Management Information Systems

Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game,
because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win.
Setting your own standards, and living up to them,
is a better way to profit.
Not to mention a better way
to make your day worth all the effort you put into it.

Michael Porter’s competitive forces model supply the tool so firm can complete with competitors, and environment. There are five competitive forces shape fate offirm. Traditional competitors, new market entrants, substitute products and services, customers, and suppliers. Akamai uses the Porter model to keep them in the top of the marker.

Let fit the customer within the value chain, make sure the functions are managed consistently, reinforce each other, and have no weak links. The trade-off is committing to a distinctive or unique strategy that rules out other choices and avoids being stuck in the middle.

If your business model depend for its success on millions of people being able to stream videos on demand (like You Tude) would you be in favor of net neutrality of against it.

Yes, I am for favor of network neutrality because of the lawful practice that some companies do to stop consumers able to run their applications and use services of their choice.  I am a consumer and I have a right to connect to any network provider and us their service at any time I want.  Since it is free to post videos, and this wide spread appeal attracts income through advertising, I would rather it did not cost me more to use all the bandwidth.
