Assignment C

Question 1

Forces

Explanation
Impact of the force to the business


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.

Example other kindergarten also offer nursing to the parents who need to be away from their children when they are working. The cost of the education package is also similar with other kindergarten.


  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 entrant is the new kindergartens that enter the market.
Entrants bring a desire to gain market share and often have significant resources.

Example the chances to open a new kindergarten is easy because it is high necessity among children for early learning and always be demand therefore it is easy for new kindergarten to break into the market.


High

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.
