Before learning about Information System Strategy, we need to understand about business environment. We can understand the business environment by observing the Porter's 5 Forces. Let's break these forces one by one. Industry or Competitive Rivalry In this force, we are asked to understand our own industry.  We need to know the number of competitors inside the same industry. Let's say if we are selling clothes, we need to know who our competitors are in clothing or textile industry. The quality differences are not less important. Besides quality, there will also be other differences, including the uniqueness of the product itself compared to its competitors. We should also know about the switching cost, which is the cost of moving or shifting from our products to the competitor's product or vice versa. Threat of New Entry We need to know how easy it is for new competitors to enter the market and how much the cost is. Our business should also have the s

After captivators watched the video above, let's define ethic. Ethic is the principles of right and wrong that affects one's behaviors. It is tightly affected by our knowledge. For instance, imagine that we know nothing about drugs, we  have never known that it will do harm to our body. We take in drugs as often as we breathe. We live in an environment where drugs are common, accepted and have been parts of our life. After we learnt, after we observe from a bigger circle of society, we at last find out that drugs are harmful and it has done no good to our life. That time, when we did not know that consuming drugs are no good, consuming drugs are still ethical. But at the moment that we learn more - as we have more knowledge about it - it turns out that we know it is not ethical. Therefore, whether something is ethical or not, it depends on the society, the place, the time, the context. Is it important to be ethical? Do you think it is important? Or is it not? Let's

Have you ever made a flowchart before, captivators? Today, I am going to give you some information about a flowchart I made with my lovely partner!

Hello, captivators! I learnt something cool about Global E-Business and Collaboration. So let me share this captivating knowledge to you! Collaboration? I bet you know what it means. When human beings try to find their mate, they will find someone who can complete them. In other words, these two human beings collaborate. The same thing will happen in and out an organization or business. Two or more parties need to collaborate. In an organization, Operation, Sales and Marketing, Finance and Accounting divisions are all known as Primary Division. While in Secondary Division, there will be HR, IT, Audit, Procurement, etc. Does this mean that the secondary divisions are not as important as the primary divisions? Well, no, it doesn't. They are as important as each other. They collaborate and complete each other. However, in a small medium enterprise or business, the work of secondary divisions will be more likely to be taken care by the primary division. All of those divi

*play this video while reading, don't forget to turn the volume up* There I sat. On a dark brown couch beneath the amusing scarlet sky. My hand was caressing the book on my lap - undressing each and every pages. He gently taped on my back. I turned my head looking at the guy standing around 5 inch from me. A guy with a dark blue eye, ginger hair. Who is he , I wonder. He started opening his mouth and said: "Hey! May I?" and pointing out on the vacuous seat beside me. I nod. He sat beside me and stroke me out with one of the sweetest smile I had ever seen.  "What's your name, girl?" There he went. I was wondering what he would say next. "My name? Brenda."   "Which city are you from?" "Pontianak." "Birthday?" "30th January." "Let me guess. You love listening to music and this chocolate is your favorite. You hate animals. Am I right?," said him while handing out a box o
