Describe and discuss the organization: what it does; its services, products, outputs, or mission; how it fits in any overall larger system; how it is staffed, structured, and organized, etc.

This first paper will set the stage for the balance of my Capstone project. Choose an appropriate project organization of suitable size,
and with which you are familiar enough to conduct suitable critical analysis.
Please choose an IT-related organization. This can be your current
organization/unit, or a reasonable portion thereof. The focus can also be a
recent organizational assignment within a given organization. If your work or
assignment situation is not primarily IT-related, you may still use it.

You
will simply need to detail how IT and ITM figure into the performance and
outcomes of this organization. If you are not currently employed outside the
home or in an IT setting, find an organization, or IT personnel in your
organization, who would be willing to provide you such IT information as is
required as you proceed through the various segments of the Capstone Case. In
this case, you must involve IT issues in some meaningful way. For this first
Case segment, at minimum, for your chosen organization, provide as much of the
following descriptive and analysis information as possible:

Describe and discuss the organization: what it does; its
services, products, outputs, or mission; how it fits in any overall larger
system; how it is staffed, structured, and organized, etc.
What sort of ‘environmental’ challenges is this organization
facing: social, economic, and technological? How are they responding? What are
some of the key opportunities, problems, and challenges your organization is
facing? What are the IT Governance issues? What are the ethical issues?
You will wish to detail your personal role and contributions
to this organization as well as the personal challenges and opportunities you
face.

Note: There are two critical analysis
formats you might consider: ‘compare and contrast,’ which highlights the
differences between two approaches or issues and then makes the case for
choosing one path over the other; or ‘discrepancy analysis,’ where ‘A’ is
compared with ‘B,’ and discrepancies or ‘differences’ are noted, discussed, and
a desired path chosen. You may also have your own analysis structure —
something as simple as linearly laying out the issues and coming to a conclusion.
