Question 1

What are Information Systems?

Answer 1

Information systems are combinations of hardware, software, and telecommunications networks that people build and use to collect, create, and distribute useful data, typically in organizational settings.”

Question 2

What are the four components of Information Systems and how are these connected?

Answer 2

2. Tactisch
3. Operationeel

Question 7

What is digital transformation?

Answer 7

Use of new digital technologies, such as social media, mobile, analytics or embedded devices, in order to enable major business improvements like enhancing customer experience, streamlining operations or creating new business models.

Question 8

What is digitization?

Answer 8

From analog to digital to be able to read the information in a uniform way (digitizing, a technical process).

Question 9

What is digitalization?

Answer 9

A sociotechnical process of applying digitizing techniques to broader social and institutional contexts that render digital technologies infrastructural.

Question 10

What is the paradox of change?

Answer 10

Is defined by the opposing logics of stability and flexibility that operate across infrastructural layers and components. On one hand, digital infrastructures need to be stable to allow “enrollment” of new artifacts, processes, and actors; on the other, it must possess flexibility to allow unbounded growth.

Question 11

What is the paradox of control?

Answer 11

Opposing logics around centralized and distributed control (or individual autonomy) play an equally important role in the evolution of digital infrastructures. This paradox of control brings into consideration the strategic actions of heterogeneous actors and their preferences on modes of control related to change. These considerations shape the services deployed, ownership of data and their definitions, control of critical resources (e.g., APIs), and the appropriation of value.

Question 12

What is heuristics?

Answer 12

is a technique designed for solving a problem more quickly when classic methods are too slow, or for finding an approximate solution when classic methods fail to find any exact solution. This is achieved by trading optimality, completeness, accuracy, or precision for speed. In a way, it can be considered a shortcut.

Question 13

What is a semantic network?

Answer 13

Uses nodes to represent objects and links to represent relations. Used as a form of knowledge representation.

Question 14

What is an artificial neural network?

Answer 14

A mathematical/computational model that tries to simulate the structure of biological neural networks.

Question 15

Name two internal threats for security?

Answer 15

1. Intentional malicious behavior
2. Careless behavior
