They way to prevent this is to store data on a server in a different location. And Log out employees after a certain number of minutes of the computer sitting idle.

-Employees can unintentionally click link in there emails and get a virus. Or a disgruntled employee can intentionally  post private information about the company. The way to protect against this is too limit access, use biometrics, and create certain time slots for employees to log into the database.

-Viruses and worms can corrupt data. Employees may check emails and open spam containing these. The best way to prevent this is with firwalls and regular computer scans to keep them clean.

-Links to outside businesses, such as when the employees are surfing the web or maybe another business affiliates may have their databases compromised by spyware. Cookies may be used to harmfully. You can use cookie killer software, and CAPTCHAs.

Wireless Media transmit and receives elctromagnetic signals using methods such as infrared line of sight, high frequency radio, and microwave systems.

3.3 Cost Benefit

Total Cost is all cost associated with use and maintenance.
Nonrecurring cost is one time cost.
Recurring cost is continued cost.

3.2 Building A Business Case

Fact- Based on the data, the new information system shows increase customer and employee moral by 20%. After training the employees will be able to quickly access opportunity's that the individual client may be interested in.

Fear- If we don't use a new information system we are in danger of rivals gaining competitive advantage because our system will be out of date.

Faith- I believe this information system will improve the company, because the current one is much outdated. This would make everything more efficient and faster

Clobalization in Automobile Industry 2.2

Ford could be the last of the "big three" car companies based in the US. Industry Experts said for years that globalization would result in the consolidation of automakers. Manufacturers worked toward developing a "world car" but models did not sell well. Americans and Europeans vastly prefer different kinds of cars.  Globalization has changed the automobile industry by allowing automakers to build global networks.

1. Americans are becoming more aware of fuel consumption.
2.Cultural differences create different needs and wants in a car.
