Discussion: Small Business IT Solutions

There are focused discussions throughout this course. Since these discussions are an integral part of your learning in this course, you are encouraged and expected to participate in the online discussions. They are also a great opportunity to use active learning strategies and make your classroom an interactive environment. Regular and meaningful discussion postings are part of your final grade. The Checklist for Meaningful Discussions below will assist you in creating effective posts. Your Instructor will use a course specific rubric to evaluate your work.

Discussion: Unlike large organizations, small organizations have been less active in integrating information technologies into their business operations. For example, some of the larger airliners use online information technologies to allow passengers to make reservation, buy a ticket, reserve a seat, check in, and even print their boarding passes online before they get to the airport.

• Using the airlines example mentioned above, propose several possible IT solutions and how they would benefit a smaller airline to become more successful or attract more clients.
• Tell us if the availability of information technology services has influenced your decision to travel on a particular airline. What airline was it?

When answering the discussion questions, use terminology from the chapter. Each answer should be a paragraph in length, grammatically sound, and free of spelling errors. The discussions in this course are graded activities and need to be completed by the end of the module’s week.

After your initial post, read your how your peers responded to the questions and then add your comments to several that captured your interest. Your comments should add value to the discussion by posing additional questions and providing further insight.
