Management and Information System Week 10 Lecture.- After the much needed easter holidays I met Mr Bilal Haider once again which was something really good as the topic of the lecture was Sustainability and Business in the 21st century. This topics consists  on the reduction of wastage about all the types of energy and important resources. There was one topic which really caught my attention was the the use of gas by the reduction of electricity. The main reason was that people nowadays waste too much electricity which is really bad. With the use of gas people are really going to understand that electricity can finish anytime because of its constant wastage.

MIS WEEK 9 ( Easter break)

Management and Information Systems  Group presentation discussion.- Before going to our easter holidays we had decided to film our presentation video bearing in mind the points we have to speak about in our presentation so that later on we have enough time to make any changes and do the editing of the video if necessary. Secondly we filmed the video just a day before our holidays. Luckily the date we decided for our presentation was suitable for all of us and filmed the video succesfully.  Lastly we discussed about who is going to do the editing of the video and I was the one who offered himself to do so. So on holidays I did the editing of the video and showed it to my group members, to what I got good response from them. I uploaded the video through my cousin's youtube channel because I was unable to do it from mine. Muhammad Usaid Dilawar 3622501

Those are: - Entrepreneurial  - Machine bureaucracy - Divisionalised bureaucracy - Professional bureaucracy  - Adhocracy This structure plays a vital role in an organisation to be more competitive as well as in being able to sustain it. I am really thankful for this lecture as in the future when I take the responsibility of my father's business or even try to open my own company, this structure is going to help me in being organised and be innovative for the company's welfare.

Management and Information System Week 5 Lecture.- On this week's first lecture we learnt about IS Crimes, Security and Controls. This week we were taught about the threats of the companies which mostly are vulnerable to internal and external threats, security threats, hurricanes and many more. The most interesting part of this lecture for me were The Most Common Computers Crimes divided in two. Firstly the unauthorised people, who look through electronic data, some of them peek at the monitors, others intercept electronic communications and some of them are the thieves of computers or storage media. Secondly the Information Modification, where very high profile hackers gains the administrator's status and accesses electronic information such as call centres or sale of customer information.
