ISM 3011 Test 2 Study Guide
Know the following terms and concepts from Chapters 5 - 7
Moore’s Law (and constraints on it) – (Intel co-founder) Chips performance per dollar doubles every 18 months. Data storage will double every 12 months. With an optical cable it can double every 9 months.
Microprocessor - The brain of any computing device.
Volatile memory - When power goes out, all that was not saved is lost.
Non-volatile – storage that will retain data even when power goes out (hard disc, flash memory, DVD)
RAM – Random access Memory - temporary storage that provides fast access for executing computer programs and files. When you “load” or “launch” a program, it usually moves from your hard drive to those RAM chips, where it can

Customers who are tied to a company
Complimentary benefits - Products or services that add additional value to a network
Platforms – Products or services that allows for the integration of other software (iphones, the wii).
One-sided markets – a market that derives its value from a single type of user
Two-sided markets - network markets comprised of two distinct categories of participant, both of which that are needed to deliver value for the network to work (ex. video game console owners and the developers of the video game)
Monopoly - a market where there are many buyers but only one dominant seller
Oligopoly - a market dominated by a small number of powerful sellers
Envelopment - where a firm seeks to make an existing market a subset of its product offering. Separate product categories for media players, cameras, gaming devices, phones, and global positioning systems (GPS) are all starting to merge. Rather than cede its dominance as a media player, Apple leveraged a strategy known as
Congestion effects - occur when increasing numbers of users lower the value of a product or service
Industry standards -

Difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 sites/services -
Peer production
Blogs – Online journals in chronological order. People can comment on your blog. Short for web log.
Micho-blogs – or microblogging, Tweeter. The difference is that you will not know if they see your stuff.
A Wiki - a Web site anyone can edit directly within
The world of technology cores has a different function in today’s era. The core roles of these technologies play an important part to keep this world as we know it to operating on a day to day basis. The basis of the technology that makes IT System useful is Computer Networks, Information Assurance, Wed Technologies, Database, Computer Programs and Programming.
Hard Disc Drive: a HDD is like a person's long term memory. it is used to store any type of data from files to applications. The data on a HDD is non-volatile, which means the data will stay on the disc even if the computer is switched off. A SSD is another way to store data, but it is faster than a HDD because there are no moving parts.
1. What changes does FTP make to an ASCII file when you download it in ASCII mode to a windows machine from a Linux server? What changes are made when you download the file to a Mac?
RAM (Random Accesses Memory): RAM is used by CPU when a computer is running to store the information that it needs to be used very quickly but it does not store any information permanently.
Irregular Access memory is inside the PC which store the information and work with capacity memory to make lessen less and influence space for essential things to like record and documents in light of the fact that for individual protection.
Random Access Memory (RAM) - the storage of data and instructions inside the primary storage is temporary. It disappears from the RAM as soon as the power to the computer is
When multiple platforms have overlapping user bases, there is a possibility of one platform provider to swallow the network of other providers. This is called as platform envelopment. One of the examples from the readings is RealNetworks whose business model was well suited to 2-sided network. Microsoft however tried enveloping Real by bundling Windows Media Player with its all-purpose NT server. Users preferred the offer of getting free music streaming and switched to Microsoft creating huge losses to Real. In order to survive envelopment, a firm can (1) Revamp its existing business model and offer services as a systems integrator, (2) Form alliances through partnerships and (3) Take legal course of action under antitrust laws (if
What is the fastest type of storage, how fast does it work, and where is located?
Flash memory is a solid-state drive (SSD) that maintains data storage without moving parts, even
An informatics needs assessment is a critical step in the selection and implementation of the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The purpose of a needs assessment is to understand the organization and the needs of the organization well enough to boost the positive impact of an EHR while minimizing the negative effects (American Medical Association, n.d.).
Permanent storage devices are nonvolatile—that is, their contents are persistent and are retained even when power is lost.
Intel actively searches for new opportunities in different (chip) markets, and when these new markets after a while are getting more and more established, Intel protects its market share by significantly reducing the chip’s prices (Lumpkin & Dess, 2001).
Within these categories, many sub-markets branch out. Competitive Markers are the most common, having many sellers providing similar products to many buyers. Competitive businesses make profit based off of the relationship between net and gross income, and depend on providing a more reasonable price than its competitor. This type of market is seen mainly with a capitalist economy. Monopolistic Markets are similar to Competitive, but they differ in the type of product. Monopolistic businesses provide differing items that all provide a common service. A Monopolistic business gains profit by providing a product that the same basic service as another business, but differs in small details that contour to different types of buyers. The auto industry, proving scooters, motorcycles, automobiles, and other forms of differing transportation is an example.
Information technology is a rapidly growing part of today's society. It affects everyone's life in many aspects. Every human endeavor is influenced by information technology and the increasing rate at which what it can perform includes. One area of human endeavor that information technology has greatly influenced is the practice of medicine, specifically veterinary medicine. Not only has veterinary medicine been influenced by information technology, it has also been enhanced by it. The degree to which the practice of veterinary medicine includes information technology is observable at the Animal Emergency Clinic of Central New York on Erie Blvd. in Syracuse, New York.
Management is one of the most important human activities and has critical impact on life, growth, development or destruction of an organisation. In an organisation, managers with any rank or status should understand their basic duties i.e. maintaining a sustainable conductive environment where people can fulfil their commitments and objectives through collaborative approach. (Akhtar, 2011) A manager is responsible to achieve the business’s goals, visions and objectives by planning, organising, leading and controlling. Dubrin (1994) stated that in every organisation each member of staff must plan, organise, make decisions, and control the resources they need to accomplish the results expected
