The capstone project for this class is a research paper on an Information System. Many different types of Information Systems are studied during the course such as Decision Support Systems, Transaction Support Systems, Data Base Systems, ERP, CRM etcÖ You need to pick a particular application that falls into one of these categories. The general idea is that you explore and research an Information System and determine its impact on a particular company or industry incorporating the chosen IS. Look for an IS that integrates business processes with technology for competitive advantage. Look locally for a company no Walmart, Amazon, UPS.
The research paper must strictly use MLA format. MLA Source:
The use of the library databases are strongly recommended to include at least one or two cited sources from peer reviewed journals.
Here are a few topics you may want to explore this semester:
The impact of data privacy on patient care using EMRs at hospitals.
Search Engines: The impact of data sharing and data privacy on online consumers in the U.S.
The effect of Social Media on online sales within the retail industry.
The impact of green computing on data center efficiency to promote customer relations within eCommerce in the US.
Pick an Information System then research a local company that uses it or pick a company and investigate an information system that they are using to automate operations or business processes, harness business intelligence, manage knowledge or provide a competitive advantage. Try to use a LOCAL COMPANY!! For example there are more than 3500 local manufacturing companies here on Long Island.
STEP 1: Submit a PROPOSAL in one page for me to approve. Your proposal will get you thinking about your research and reserve the company for you. Do some preliminary research on the company and the information system they use prior to submitting the proposal!
STEP 2 : Create an OUTLINE of your paper and identify additional sources. Continue your research and include concepts from every chapter of our textbook that relates to how your chosen company uses the information system you have identified. For example, are there ethical issues at hand? How has this company used IS to be more efficient and effective?
STEP 3: Final DELIVERABLES are a power point (approximately 10 slides) and paper (approximately 7-10 pages) documenting all sources and data. Both must be submitted together. Elaborate in your paper and highlight the most important features, findings and uses for your presentation.

With the increase in prosperity brought about by industrialization came a number of ills such as the exploitation of workers, including children. Unbridled capitalism and the pursuit of wealth, while also giving rise to the middle class, led to the greatest wealth disparity the country had ever seen at the expense of the working class, whose members found themselves working six or seven days a week up to 12 hours a day in horrible conditions, often not making enough to support themselves and their families. In response, a group of people emerged, the Progressives, who sought ways to make the lives of this wretched class better. Among the most prominent Progressives was President Theodore Roosevelt and his progressive sentiments are illustrated in his speech, Who is a Progressive?
Who is a Progressive? Theodore Roosevelt, April 1912
Construct the case study by responding to the following prompts:
According to Roosevelt, what are the characteristics of a progressive?
Explain what are the characteristics of those who are “anti-progressive” and what types of activities do they engage in?
What are the goals of progressivism and what areas of society should be addressed?
Analyze what progressive achievements does Roosevelt highlight in his speech?
Make sure to cite and reference sources. Make sure that the writing is clear, well-developed, and free from spelling and grammatical errors. Please note that part of your grade is to include a documented example of the primary source.

The essay is a case study of a past disaster. Essays must include the following information:
Description of the Event
This section can function as the introduction to the essay. Only the specific disaster should be described here rather than describing the generalities of the hazard. For example, in an essay on the Haiti earthquake, it is not necessary to include information on general aspects of earthquakes in this section (i.e. why subduction zones are associated with earthquakes).
Causes
In this section, you can address the event from the general to the specific (i.e. a discussion of what causes that type of disaster and then focusing specifically on the cause of your case study).
Impacts
Describe the impacts of the event. These could include social, economic, and/or environmental impacts.
Response
Describe the reaction to the specific disaster. Were there proactive responses to the hazard in place or were they more commonly reactive?
Recovery
What has changed since the disaster? Have new policies or regulations been developed?
Provide a description of the resiliency of the local area.
Suggestions
Reflect on what further work has been suggested as well as your own thoughts about what needs to be completed to protect people and property from a similar event in the future.

The second page of your manuscript should include the body-text, in which you very briefly (i.e. about two paragraphs) state which chapter you chose, and summarize the research article that you annotated following the criteria provided in the Body-Text ñ Article description… section of the Assignment Grading Rubric. Specifically, you will need to describe 1) the research paperís topic; 2) its methods, participants, etc.; 3) its key findings; 4) how you actually obtained the article (i.e. Google Scholar or PsycINFO; the key-words used in your search); 5) whether the study was accurately described by Anderson (2015); and 6) the strengths, limitations, and implications of the research paper. This body-text section must include APA in-text citations for the Anderson (2015) textbook, and the article that you annotated.
? The final portion of the manuscript should be an APA-formatted reference list for the sources cited in the body-text of your paper (i.e. the textbook and your article). Although a reference list typically begins on a new page, for this assignment it can follow immediately after the body- text, so as to save trees. If you chose to do this, your manuscript will be a maximum of two pages. Otherwise, your paper will be a maximum of 4 pages, with only your reference list on the last page.

For your second major assignment, we will continue our discussion of food production issues pertaining to sustainability and the need to feed a growing world population. In this essay you will communicate your exploration, research, and reflection as you listen to, evaluate, and record the conversation surrounding food production. Acceptable topics include a discussion of GMO foods, the Green Revolution, or Nobel Prize Laureate Norman Borlaug. This could build from the interests you explored in your first essay on sustainability, or you can follow a different track. Was there something about your definition of sustainability that piqued your curiosity and warrants further exploration? This could also be an opportunity for you to delve deeper into an issue or question surrounding your chosen field.
This assignment won’ be a formal essay but a document that demonstrates your engagement with the research process. At its completion your assignment will consist of three (3) parts, each of them recording the steps you’ve taken in researching your ethical problem or issue, understanding your sources, and evaluating the direction you’ll take for the final research-supported argumentative essay. This assignment will tell your research story from inquiry (exploration of a research question) to claim (tentativ thesis).
For guidance in successfully completing this assignment, consult RRW, Ch. 1 (summary/paraphrase, embedding direct quotations in your prose), Ch. 12 (finding and evaluating sources, preparing an annotated bibliography), Ch. 13 (studying sources) and Ch. 14 (formal documentation for MLA or APA documentation style).
The most important thing to understand is that this is not an assignment you can write in one sitting from beginning to end. Itís a construction project that, in many ways, builds from the inside out.
Think of the finished product in terms of the following general outline:
Part I: Exploratory Narrative (500+ words)
The first section of the assignment will be a 1st person narrative that tells the story of your intellectual journey, beginning with your research question. You should use your research question as the title of the document. This portion of the assignment will let the reader know how your process began and progressed, what sources you found, what they were saying, and where they led you. Iím interested here in the chronological path of your process. As you can imagine, you can be drafting this section throughout the process. Consider also that books, articles, database materials, and websites are not the only relevant sources available. An interview with someone in your field, for example, might give you further insight and background into the question.
Important:Your sources here will reflect how your research develops. There is no expectation that these sources are the ones that will appear in the final paper or that they will be balanced, that is, so many for or against an issue. In fact, it’s unlikely
that all the sources will appear in the final paper. Also, resist the impulse to select only those sources that support any opinions or judgments you may already have about your topic. Reserve judgment and see where the research leads you.
Part II: Annotated Bibliography (minimum of 6 entries – 150+ words each). At least 2 sources should be accessed using the library’s ENGL 1304 Research Guide.
An annotated bibliography is like an expanded Works Cited (MLA) or References (APA) page where your reader sees not only the formal citation but a paragraph containing a summary and explanation of each source. You’ll list your sources alphabetically according to MLA or APA citation style as you would in a Works Cited or References page. Each formal citation will be followed by a short paragraph containing description and summary, an indication of the credibility, authority, or bias of the source, and a statement of how the source might fight into an argument.
Part III: Reflection and Tentative Thesis (200+ words)
The final section will give the reader a sense of where your research stands now, what’s left to be done, and what conclusions you may have drawn from participating in the conversation surrounding your question. Like the first section of the assignment, 1st person makes sense here. You can think of your final document as a rhetorical sandwich: an objective 3rd person annotated bibliography between two 1st person narratives. You’ll have a chance to flex your voice and tone muscles with this assignment.
Conclude Part III with your tentative thesis. What stand can you take, now that you’ve looked at the sources? Will you have a definitional claim? An evaluative claim? A causal claim? A proposal? The thesis is tentative and can be revised or changed in the final assignment.
