Day 8 – Enterprise Architecture – in-class discussion questions

• What kind of standards do we enjoy in our daily life? Why do we need them? What if we don’t have standards?
• Why do many European nations use Euro as a common currency? Why do the U.K. and some others refuse to adopt Euro?
• How is a USPS delivery truck different from a standard delivery van?
• What are the problems when employees have a freedom to use any kind of ITs they want?
• What are the problems when a company forces the employees to use the same IT (e.g. Blackberry for all employees)?
• What does it mean by coupling in IT systems?

These are questions that we’ll discuss in-class next Monday. Do not post comments on this.
