System Modelling of a Case Study: Oxford Brookes MBA Program

This report presents a system modelling analysis of a case study focused on the Oxford Brookes MBA program. It explores the nature of the problem, emphasizing ineffective management practices and their impact. The report details the creation of an alumni system designed to meet stakeholder needs and incorporates an IT-based system. It utilizes CATWOE analysis to understand market challenges and stakeholder concerns, followed by an Entity Relationship Diagram to illustrate the business structure. The report concludes by highlighting the importance of focusing on critical characteristics in system modelling due to the complexity of real-world systems, offering insights into abstraction methods. References include various books and journals that support the analysis and methodologies used in the study.

Introduction
The functional approach about the use of systems to quantify and create structures in the growth
of industry and IT is model modelling or imaginary vertical. Function modelling is a general
method of device modelling, with qualitative methods including the Functional Stream flow
chart as well as IDEF0. In this report, a business problem faces by MBA student of Oxford
Brookes such as ineffective management practices and improper approaches due to which the
overall image is decreasing (Ambe and Badenhorst-Weiss, 2012).
1. Nature of problem situation.
In a situation of Oxford Brookes MBA program, soft machine thinking should not believe that
challenges there are in the universe. There were never any scientifically given challenges of
functioning from a soft viewpoint. This does not mean that the universe is not composed of
complicated and challenging issues that really need to be handled, although it is crucial to
remember that separate people in almost the same position will see various solutions and
interpret it differently regarding their existence. Perhaps it is deceptive to speak of the meaning
like that was objectively decided upon and approved by certain partners and institutions. Soft
systems thinking claims that challenges are far less organised and far easier than might be agreed
by other consumers and proponents of reductionist research (Yazdanpanah, Diniz and Lima,
2019). Indeed, a crucial characteristic in certain scenarios is that they become unbounded, vague
and ambiguous and therefore the analyst can be ambiguous whether anything is a 'problem' even
for those who feel something is 'not right' in the scenario.
2. Creating an alumni system that meets stakeholder needs
3. IT-based system
Through use of machines to Oxford Brookes MBA program retrieve, transfer as well as control
data or data is artificial intelligence. In comparison to personal or firm practices, IT is usually
used within the framework of business operations (Ghassemlooy, Popoola and Rajbhandari,
2019). IT is known to be a branch of information technology (ICT). An information system (IT
system) is typically an integrated system, a communication network or, more simply, a data
system run by a restricted group of people, with all hardware, software and network adapters.
4. CATWOE analysis

The CATWOE evaluation is used to understand and resolve market challenges that also include
different and competing concerns. It establishes a legal basis also for problem-solving
methods by incorporating both views and viewpoints (Caldwell and Howard, 2014).
CUSTOMER
The very first phase throughout the CATWOE Study is to define the clients and to consider how
they are affected by the method or system. Moreover, before discussing options, you would need
to figure out what challenges they face.
ACTORS
They get a good picture of their influence on the method or method by learning their strengths,
capabilities and preferences in advanced (Githui, 2012).
TRANSFORMATION PROCESS
They ought to respectful the steps required, in order to understand better in detail whatever the
input needs or even what the final product (output) would be.
WORLD VIEW
It was about the 'wider picture' which takes into account the numerous environmental
stakeholders which stakeholders influencing a company as well as the impact they may have.
OWNER
This typically applies to oxford MBA creator, businessman or donor, who needs to make
improvements and who determines whether a plan will start or end (Wu and Bucknall, 2020).
Environmental Constraints
This is all about the real environmental factors which can impact the company, in relation to
World View, which can constrain the structure.
5. Entity Relationship Diagram
The business has many divisions of department has a distinctive logo, a name, physical address
and a personal employer who oversees the department. There are a variety of projects managed
by a department, each with a specific name, a specific variety and an expenditure plan. There is a
name, identity card, address, wage and current address for each student (Pacitti, Privolizzi and
Bax, 2019). They are assigned to a group, but may work in several tasks. In each
project, student need to document the individual employee starting date. People also have to
understand each individual employee team leader (Chen, 2012).

7. Brief reflection
CONCLUSION
In last it is founded that, for both of them, structures that are worth modelling have too many
specifics to be modelled fairly. A system can also be cognitively dynamic, with evolving
features, non-deterministic behaviour, and other hard-to-characterize properties, aside from
the sheer scale and community structure which a system can possess. Subsequently, to really
be computation time and scientifically tractable, models must concentrate on a few critical
characteristics. This problem is tackled through modelling approaches via diverse modes of
abstraction.
