2)-Imagine you work for a large automotive company. Your manager asks you to look into integrating a digital assistant into a new vehicle for the next production year. How would understanding your company’s business profile help you complete this task?
3)-Suppose you work in the IT department of Global Hotels, a multinational hotel chain. Global Hotels runs several specialized business support systems, including a guest reservations system that was developed in-house to meet the requirements of a large company with worldwide operations. Guests can make one-stop online reservations by visiting Global’s website, which has links to all major travel industry sites. Global Hotels just acquired Momma’s, a regional chain of 20 motels. Momma’s uses a vertical reservations package suitable for small- to medium-sized businesses and a generic accounting and finance package. Should Momma’s use Global Hotels’ information systems or continue with its own? In your answer, consider issues such as business profiles, business processes, system interactivity, and e-commerce. What additional information would be helpful to you in making a recommendation?
