What type of questions would you ask to determine the framework the organization should use to become current in the age of technology and new media?
Mediatization implies, in this particular sense, aspects to the transformation of the scope of the social world in the era of media. By the notion of mediatization, we recognize media as uncurtailed driving force of social development (Couldry, 2012). As all organization have different requirements according to their need, set procedures are followed in creating an appropriate accessible technology framework (Microsoft, 2015). As compare to the work of capable project administration, implementing new technology into an organization poses a different kind of challenge to management. Generally, the managers, liable for supervising technical innovation into normal process of working, have a strong understanding due to education and experience to make others familiar with that innovation than to its application management (Barton & Kraus, n.d.). The questions that would possibly be asked are:
How accessible technology is appropriate for your business?
Determining a scope and purpose that establish foundation for further procedures
What is the range of accessibility requirements of your organization and assessing the present technology that is being used?
This can also involve buying accessible technology and serviceable technology products and determining internal technology systems that require to be updated to enhance accessibility.
How would the organization enhance knowledge among employees in respect of the availability of accessible technology and how it would provide training about the...
If the organization first realizes and decides the scope and aims and later asks owners to execute implementation methods and evaluate productivity, it would achieve a great success, which would also have a positive effect on the employees of the organization.
What steps would you take to ensure the organization understands the implications and ethical issues in the digital world we live in today?
The present society is enormously influenced by the information systems. Even historians also rightly regard this current era, we live in today, as information age. Our capability to gather, analyze, save, distribute as well as alter large chunks of information utilizing data-system has made it possible. Being a date-driven society, it is essential we take both social and ethical ramifications into account of the application of information system. The present digital world has raised some new essential and ethical questions such as: who is the owner of information, specifically information about us (Olumoye, 2013). Following are the steps which ensure that organization is well-aware of the ethical issues involved:
Identify and Clearly Describe the Facts
This step includes ascertaining: what happened, to whom and who did, and where; when and how. You will be surprised of the errors…

Media and Conflict The existence of a pro-business, pro-government bias led to ineffectual journalistic coverage of U.S. unemployment during the period leading up to the 2008-2009 recession. In what has come to be known as the Great Recession because of its comparability to the Great Depression, the U.S. unemployment rate reached historic highs. The magnitude of the recession was such that economists and policy-makers should have been better prepared to manage
One reporter for the New York Daily News rants, "Come on, let's be serious…if anything is clear, it is that the trip of the famous couple to Havana has exposed the travel ban as what it is: a senseless, anachronistic and anti-democratic policy, contrary to U.S. interests and values," (Ruiz, 2013). What was done to resolve the controversy? There has yet to be a clear resolution to the controversy, but the
Media and Military Operations Recently there has been much debate about the effect of media reports on military conduct. Most of this has to do with the security that the military needs to conduct their operations and the dangerous are some of the reports that the media sometimes leaks out. A recent article found in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy argued that First Amendment freedom was compromised because
The management of large organizations is a very crucial issue, whether they are government-related or not (Argyris, 1993; Argyris & Schon, 1978; Broom, Jackson, Harris, & Vogelsang-Coombs, n.d.; Brown & Brudney, 2003; Hatry, 1999; Haynes, 1999). Often, however, the government does not seem to realize that it must manage itself in the same way that a business would in certain aspects if it is to succeed and therefore it
Thirdly, the growing up-to-the-minute exposure of the journalists to the physicality of the war detracted from the big picture and instead exaggerated the importance of singular happenings and specific events. It is in the loss of the big picture that the Bush regime is most able to capitalize on its military's control of the press. While in the 1990s, the President's father struggled with "pooled" journalists and the lack of
Because there was not the time or means to get a very diverse population of individuals, there may be some limitations when it comes to social class as well as previous levels of aggression in the children and youths. There are only two girls compared with the eight boys. This may be considered a limitation as well, but more parents of boys answered the ad and this may be because
