Managing Complexity in a Coffee Industry case study (Questions)2IntroductionQuestion 1Hard system methodsThese systems have clear goals and are useful in providing solutions that help achieve these goals. They view the information system as input processes connecting to a computational process which will then give outputs (Burge, 2015). Here the problem-solving situation is linear in nature.Examples of Hard systems methodsa)System analysisThe decision-making process in this system occurs in the following four steps (Siriram, 2007). These four steps are: 1. Analyzing the problem. 2. Generating possible solutions. 3. Evaluating the possible solutions. 4. Selecting the best solution. b) Information engineeringIt basically undergoes four distinct stages:1.Analysis of the system.2.Designing of the system.3.Implementing the system.4.Operating the system.c)Operation researchOccurs in five distinct steps:1)Problem formulation.2)Model construction.3)Obtaining a solution for the model.4)Model testing.5)Solution implementation.Spray diagramsThese are essential in generating information about a problem (Daellenbach, 2002). The mainpurpose of this is providing information necessary for constructing of diagrams.The figure below shows a spray diagram that defines a problem;

It will show how adjustments in a particular system can have effects on other systems and hence the possibility of understanding the behavior of the system. This is useful to understand complexity in an organization. The figure below shows an example of a multiple cause diagram;
