This assignment, designed for the MIS101 course, presents a comprehensive assessment of key concepts covered in the first four weeks of the curriculum. It includes two main sections: Part I consists of ten true/false questions, requiring students to justify their answers, thereby demonstrating their understanding of core principles. Part II comprises ten multiple-choice questions, designed to test the students' grasp of specific details and their ability to differentiate between related concepts. The questions span a range of topics, including information granularity, system architecture, e-commerce models, and technological concepts like SEO, fuzzy logic, and denial-of-service attacks. The student has provided answers to all questions, demonstrating their understanding of the material, as well as an ability to apply the concepts learned to specific scenarios. The assignment provides a solid foundation for further learning and exam preparation, and is a useful resource for students studying Management Information Systems.

1. Information is of no value to you if you can't access it.
2. Business intelligence refers solely to information about your competitors.
3. Management Information System mainly deals with three main organisational
resources: People, Information and Technology. They are all playing very important
roles in modern business management, people of course are the most important
component whereas information is the least important.
4. Technically speaking, computer is a machine that only accepts and understands
binary codes: 0, 1.
5. The basic approach of fuzzy logic is to assign values between 1 and 2 to vague or
ambiguous information.
6. SEO improves the visibility of a Web site through the use of tags and key terms found
by search engines.
7. Customers use only applications provided via a cloud infrastructure, which is
Software as a Service (SaaS).
8. The C2B e-commerce business model is a true inversion of the C2C e-commerce
business model.
