Main Assignment due November 12th, 2020

Critical analysis of the changes to the ISO 9000 standard

Change is never easy. There has been a lot of discussion around the changes to ISO 9001:2015 vs earlier versions of the standard. Many in the industry feel ISO 9001:2015 has brought positive change as new elements are introduced while others feel it is a negative change on the standard or to their business. Who is right? Why?

1. Develop an essay on the changes in ISO 9001:2015; why you feel they are a positive &/or negative progression of the standard; and suggestions on how an organization can prepare for getting certified for the first time.

Also read: Information systems in global economy

2. As a minimum your analysis should address:

· Overview of changes from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015

· Outline what you believe are positive and negative changes. Based on these changes, decide on if the revision was positive or negative overall.

· Analysis to support your decision

· Suggestions on how a company prepares for certification. Include the steps, tools, best practices, etc., an organization may use.

· Bibliography of supporting articles

3. Your analysis should be 4 full pages at a minimum (12 font), single space, excluding a supporting bibliography of maximum 3 references. You may choose to include flowcharts, graphs and images that are relevant.

4. References must be directly cited in your analysis. If you are unclear what this means, please ask.

5. Hint: Most assignments that do well will have a structure. Having headings relevant to the grading criteria or an introduction, analysis, and conclusion will ensure you cover all the topics.

Use your own 300 words and do not copy  the work of another student.

Strictly No plagiarism

Objective: Web scraping with Python

Grading Procedures: All submission will be checked with a plagiarism software. Submission having more than 70% similarity to any other student submission and/or internet resources will share total points the assignment. For example, 4 submissions having more than 70% similarity will be graded as 100/4 = 25pts, assuming that the program is worth of 100 pts.

Description: The university maintains course schedules at http://appsprod.tamuc.edu/Schedule/Schedule.aspx for different semesters (spring, fall, winter, etc ). You will develop a Python program to dynamically complete certain tasks, such as list, find, sort, and save, in course listings from schedule portal. You will mainly use “request” and “BeautifulSoup” libraries (or similar, see exercise 12.1). The program will operate at different level: Semester and Department.  Your program will be a menu based application. Assume that you project file is myproject.py. Once you run, it will show last 5 semester (fall, spring, summer only, (not winter, may mini))

> python myproject.py
Choose a semester: 1) Sprint 2021   2)Fall 2020  3)Summer II  4)Summer I 5)Spring 2020 
Selection: 2

Here, your program will parse the data from website and show only last (most recent) 5 semesters. User will make selection, then, you will show departments for the selected semester (Fall 2020). Note that selected semester is visible before a “>” sign.

Fall 2020> Select a department:
1) Undeclared
2) Accounting and Finance
3) Art
4) Ag Science & Natural Resources
…
…
30) Social Work
31) Theatre
Q)Go back

Selection: 3

Fall 2020> Art > Select an option:
1) List courses by instruction name
2) List courses by capacity
3) List courses by enrollment size
4) List courses by course prefix
5) Save courses in a csv file
6) Search course by instruction name
7) Search courses by course prefix
Q)Go back
Selection: ??

Here, your program will parse the data from website and show all available department then list of tasks. Q (go back) option will take user to previous level. 

Course listing output should show the following fields. For instance for course listing for “Fall 2020> Computer Science & Info Sys> List the course by prefix ” should show

PrefixID         Sec              Name                                Instructor          Hours   Seats   Enroll.

COSC1301     01      WIntro to CompuLee,                    Kwang                3           35           10     

COSC1436     01      EIntro to Comp Sci & ProgBrown,  Thomas             4           40            36  

COSC1436     01L    Intro to Comp Sci & ProgBrown,       Thomas                         40            36

COSC1436     01W     Intro to Comp Sci & ProgHu,             Kaoning           4           45            43

COSC1436     02E      Intro to Comp Sci & ProgHu,              Kaoning           4           35            32

as first 5 rows.

You will follow above headers and order (prefix (col. width 6), ID (5), Sec (5) ,Name (25), Inst (20), Hours (5), Seats (5), Enroll. (7) ) for other listing selections too. Data cell should be aligned with column header and left justified. A course name should not have a word more than 5 chars. For instance Algorithms should be abbreviated as “Algor”. The length of course name will not exceed 25 chars. In option 5, the above format should be used to save a listing to a file as .csv format. User will be able to provide a filename for csv file.

For this program you need to develop at least one class (chapter 10) with (possible) many methods.

Give an example of an organization with an ineffective or cumbersome structure. Explain the problems with the current structure and how these problems could be solved.

The assignment is to answer the question provided above in essay form. This is to be in narrative form and should be as thorough as possible. Bullet points should not to be used. The paper should be at least 1.5 – 2 pages in length, Times New Roman 12-pt font, double-spaced, 1 inch margins and utilizing at least one outside scholarly or professional source related to project management. The textbook should also be utilized. Do not insert excess line spacing. APA formatting and citation should be used.

What do you think were the critical factors that fueled the need for IT governance? In what ways did ISO affect the standards for network security?

This is a shortened week and therefore we are going to complete a reflection activity.

What other topics would you have liked to have covered in this course?

What reading did you find most interesting and why?

How has this course changed your perspective or outlook moving forward?

Any other topic of interest that you would like to add.

Please be sure to answer all the questions above in the initial post.

What do you think were the critical factors that fueled the need for IT governance? In what ways did ISO affect the standards for network security?

Reflect on a few key concepts this week:

1. Discuss what ethical leadership is and how it impacts the organizational culture.

3. Note some failures in ethical leadership, please find an example, explain the failure and note possible solutions to fix the issue with leadership.

 We all had the unfortunate experience of seeing how computers can, at times, make life’s journey more difficult. This is especially true in knowledge-centric workplaces. Describe an example of a very poorly implemented database that you’ve encountered (or read about) that illustrates the potential for really messing things up. Include, in your description, an analysis of what might have caused the problems and potential solutions to them. Be sure to provide supporting evidence, with citations from the literature. As with the first discussion topic, it is not enough for you to simply create your own posting. You must read the postings of the other members of the class and comment on each of them. Please see Discussion Forum of the class syllabus for additional details on content
