Suppose you are a systems analyst for a major corporation which is looking to cut administrative costs
Question:
Suppose you are a systems analyst for a major corporation which is looking to cut administrative costs due to declining sales. one possible way of doing this is to allow administrative staff to telecommute – that is, work from home using an internet connection. Your task is to gather information from the staff about interest in telecommuting. You need to know about attitudes toward telecommuting (on the part of both staff and management) as well as the physical requirements for the information system which will support telecommuting. in order to obtain the information you need, you have decided to begin with a document review and personal observation. To prepare for these, do each of the following:
1. What types of existing documents would you want to review? be as specific as you can and make sure to explain how each of your choices relates to the topic of telecommuting.
2. What types of observation would be most useful to you in this research? for each you recommend, explain who you would observe, where the observation would take place, what you would be looking for, and how you would carry out the observation.
