|
Explanation
|
Impact

|
Bargaining
Power of Buyers
|
Parents
are the buyers.
Parents
can choose other kindergarten that offer cheaper education package, similar
basic learning, high quality facilities and nursing services that suits their
need and budget.

High
|
Bargaining
Power of Suppliers
|
The
cost of the inputs can have a significant effect on the kindergarten
profitability. Supplier demand higher price and provide less services.
Kindergarten
has option to go for other services that offer lower price that suits their
budget.
Example
of suppliers is kindergarten require teachers to provide basic education to
the children, class room catering to supply food , books to give basic
education skills, transportation, and also services such as nursing.
|
Low
|
Competitors
|
The
competitor is the other existing kindergarten.
When
the competitive force is weak, kindergarten may able to raise price, provide
less product for the price, and earn more profits.
Example
other kindergarten can provides high quality facilities, better services and
program, and also better qualification certificate for children with better
competitive rate. These can easily attract the parent’s choices to go for
other kindergarten.
|
High
|
Substitutes
|
Type
of services that provide from this kindergarten cannot be replaced by services
from another.
Example
this service cannot be replaced because every parents will sent their
children to kindergarten for early learning. Early learning is the basic
education that needed by all the children before they can enter their primary
school so
it
is not possible.
|
Low
|
New
entrants
|
New

Entrants

Example

among children for early learning and always be demand therefore it is easy
for new kindergarten to break into the market.

Question 4
The potential
issues the company may face in implementing the new IS is:
THE SELECTION
PROBLEM
Kindergarten
&Childcare has decided for many reason to launch a manegerial information
system implementation project.Managers will face is what type ,size,and scope
of the future system they actually require and how to choose the most suitable
solution among hundreds offered on the market.There is no single answer on how
to company tries to deliver the best value,as well presenting its core eBestMatch
decision and a long list of other
supplementary services.
TECHNICAL
ISSUES
How to
successfully select a software package is important but not the last problem
that will appear on the thorny path toward getting all of the system software
and hardware working together and bringing any value back to the
kindergarten.Another set of implementation issues is related to the technical
part of the project,and covers the servers and workstations to be revised and
probably the new and modern ones to be the ordered,purchased,and replaced.The
internal network also has to be analyse and modernized if required.If these
question are underestimated,they can dramatically impact the overoll result of
the project and the easily delay the "happy hour", or poison the
first week of using a new system with slow performance,resulting in a
slackening of the existing pace of kindergaten.
DATA QUALITY
ISSUES
This issues is
particularly symptomatic of kindergarten that are implementing planning and
requirements analysis for the first time and transferring their legacy data
into the new system from excel spreadsheets,manual records,or old disparate
applications.Basically, the question is that old data that have been used and
stored for years can for many reasons appear approximate or even incorrect in
the new planning and requirements analysis
reality.
BUSSINESS
PHILOSOPHY CHANGES
Planning and
requirements analysis implementation brings significant changes into a
kindergarten & childcare conventional and the day to day practices it has
been using for years or even decades.With the new system,information that a
user enters in one screen becomes immediately available to other uses.
