 MIS 455: Digital Entrepreneurship and Innovation

 Midterm Exam 2

Q1. ANALYSIS and DESIGN  9 points

YBR Case

YBR is a pre-school daycare center in a small city. It provides full daycare for children aged 2 through 5 and is licensed to have up to 30 children at any time. There has been a reduction in demand for full-time day care services as many parents are staying at home during the Covid-19 pandemic (e.g., reduced work hours by their employers or employees working from home).  The same daycare center is seeing opportunities to support many students who are aged between 6 and 10 who must stay at home while schools are partially closed, and parents want their children to get some face-to-face tutoring services in math, languages, and science subjects.

YBR can accommodate up to 30 students aged 6 through 10 if they can recruit the tutors needed and pay them by the hour to provide these services at the daycare facility. If new students are accepted for tutoring services, parents pay for the services monthly, and these services can be renewed or stopped depending on customer need and tutor availability.  Given the temporary nature of this type of service, YBR wants to use online operations to provide this service, except for the actual tutoring itself, which is done on its premises.

YBR decided to use the following service interactions with potential parents and tutors.

  • It will promote the new program to the current parents who enroll their children for their own older children.
  • It will ask some parent advocates to provide reviews of YBR’s services, so it can use them in their promotion to new parents.
  • It will share the information with school districts who teach older students, so that they can provide this information for the parents of these older students.
  • It will also ask the school districts to promote the program to their teachers, so they can consider tutoring some of the students at YBR or recommend good students who may be candidates for tutoring.
  • When parents access the online portal, they are provided the subjects the YBR is offering tutor services for, the time, and the number of places available.
  • YBR provides information on the security precautions it takes and that it expects the students to take when they come for tutoring service.
  • When tutors inquire about providing support, YBR provides information on the subjects they need, the time, and how many students they have to tutor.
  • The tutors are provided with the pay rate per hour and the minimum number of hours that they need to tutor.
  • YBR provides information on the security precautions it takes and that it expects the tutors to take when they come to provide the tutoring service.
  • Parents pay for the tutoring once every two weeks, and tutors are paid once every month.
  • A survey is sent to both parents and tutors regarding their experience and if they want YBR to use them as potential advocates for the service YBR provides.

 

  • Convert the service interactions into service modules. Identify specific operations you would perform and who you would partner with to support each of these modules.
  • Of these service interactions, identify two that are static and discuss how you could make them dynamic. How does this change impact your back-end operations, and what insight will you generate from such a change in the interactions?
  • What data aggregates or categories would you need to support each of these modules?
  • What technology interface would you suggest (as a part of the digital platform) to interact with your partners?

2.1       OO optical, a soft contact lens manufacturer and distributor, custom develops lenses based on customer needs, by considering their age and color preferences. It decided to provide a web portal or mobile app-based interface to seek information from the customers and prepare orders for contact lenses.

What two metrics would you use to track the customer’s journey, and what insight do they provide?                                                                                                                    2

 

2.2       SEU is an electrical energy producer that wants to work with its energy customers to plan their energy use with a mix of energy sources (solar, wind, electric, etc.) based on their location and projected demand at various times of the year.

To provide this service, it solicits information on customers, their energy needs, and their preference to use different energy sources (one or more). Based on this information, it interacts with different energy producers to get the cost of the energy they provided per month, so that SEU can share it with the customer. Based on this, customers can alter their mix to meet their demand and price constraints.

What two metrics would you suggest (or what analysis would you do based on the data gathered) so you can analyze the energy use of customers as a whole and help SEU develop its future strategy on mixing energy sources?                                               2

 

2.3       CNN bank introduced home banking services using a mobile app. It helps customers obtain information on their account, scan checks for deposit, and transfer funds 24 hours a day. It wanted to gather intelligence on customers who are using banking services besides their actual mobile app transactions.

What two metrics would you use (or what questions would you like to ask) to gather intelligence on customers and how would this help gain insight to improve your mobile app services?

  • Part III: Critique and Opinion

Paper Sections:

Part I: Traditional Academic Paper

This paper will have three parts to it. The first part is the traditional academic paper. This is a five page traditional academic paper. It does not contain a student’s opinion. The traditional academic paper must not contain the student’s opinion on the topic. This assignment is not an opinion paper, so do not use content must also not be directed at the reader in terms of using (Up to 10 points will be deducted if this criterion is not followed)

Criteria for Font, Length, ‘ Spacing:

The paper must be 5-7 pages in length, using a black font of at least 10 in size and no larger than 12. The font’s styles must either be Arial or Times New Roman. This paper must be double-spaced. If the paper’s written content is not double-spaced or the font guidelines are followed

Body of the Paper:

Must Include Two Actual Cases within the Paper:

Students must include two actual cases that relate to their paper’s topic. A student may use more than two cases, but two cases are required within the term paper. (Up to 10 points will be deducted if two cases are not included within the paper)

For example, if a student chooses arson, the paper must reflect two actual arson cases. As students write their papers, they should appropriately link these cases throughout the paper. How does each case relate to what was learned?

What type of arson did the offenders identify in either of these cases? In the part of the paper that discusses types of arson, these would be examples within that section.

These cases should be used throughout the term paper as supporting data for the points within the paper. If one of the two cases relates to criteria within the paper, then include it in that section. Use both cases in that section of the paper if both cases relate.

Do not force the two cases at the end of the paper. They should not just be summarized in one section of the paper. Any student that awkwardly forces both cases in at the end of the term paper will have 5 points deducted from the paper’s grade.

* Include any official crime statistical data and other types of crime data collecting (victim surveys, self-reporting, and participant observation) when they apply to the crime topic. Explain what the statistical data reveals about the patterns of criminal behavior. Are there any possible issues or causations associated with this data?

*The paper must include patterns and trends of the crime topic. Explain what these patterns and trends reveal about the patterns of criminal behavior for that crime. When discussing the patterns and trends of that criminal behavior, did either of the offenders in these cases reflect what was known about them in the textbook and the research on this topic?

*Explain using academic data what their studies reveal about the crime topic? Explain any typologies relating to that crime. What typologies of this type of crime did the offenders identify in either of these cases? In the part of the paper that discusses typologies, these would be examples within that section.

*Students must explain the characteristics of the offenders of this type of crime. Continue by discussing if either of these offenders has any common characteristics described in the textbook or found in researching the topic.

* The theories related to this type of crime (offenders and victims). Discuss the different theories that relate to the crime topic of this paper. Continue with discussing the two case examples that were chosen for this paper. Did either of these cases reflect crime theory? Did the offender’s characteristics or background fit any theories related to this type of crime? If so, explain and give examples within that section of the paper.

* Discuss any current policies that relate to this type of criminality. What works and doesn’t work? Explain and include supporting data.

*Conclusion to this part of the paper.

Part II: Analysis &amp;amp; Comparison

The second part of this academic paper analyzes crime data/mapping from a law enforcement website on the crime topic. This is a 1 page crime data comparison of the crime topic. It does not contain a student’s opinion. It is an analysis of the website data on the topic.

There will be 5 points deducted if the submitted paper does not have at least one full page of written content for part II of this paper.

Police/Law Enforcement Website:

Go to a Police/Law Enforcement Website that contains crime data/crime statistics/crime mapping and research your crime topic. Try and find it for an entire year (1/1/22-12/31/22). Look at multiple law enforcement websites to find one that shows you the best data for your topic.

How does the data they provided compare to what you have researched about your topic? How does the data and patterns from this website compare to what you learned about crime patterns, trends, typologies, and theory? Does any of these fit the patterns of criminal behavior found in the two case studies? Explain your findings.
