  Recommendations The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is a professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation. Improving an Information Systems (IS) system is a continuous process. Before implementing any changes, it's essential for the IEEE to conduct a thorough assessment of its current IS system, identify specific areas for improvement, and align these improvements with the organization's overall strategic goals. For the most up-to-date information on IEEE's IS system and any inter-organizational applications, it's recommended to directly contact IEEE or refer to their official communications or documentation. Recommendations for the IEEE include updating the Member Oriented Data Engagement Strategy. This would include more tailored and advanced analytics. This would provide more accurate results or metrics which would drive engagement over the long term. Through member member-driven engagement strategy, one can better r

  Project Analysis IEEE leans heavily upon various pieces of hardware to support membership operations and all other company operations. The primary piece of hardware however are the laptops supplied to each IEEE employee. The laptop is a ​​Lenovo ThinkPad T14S Gen 2, which features an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-114G57 processor, 16 gigabyte RAM, and a 64-bit operating system that permits touch support. These laptops are imperative for day-to-day workplace tasks for each employee. Additionally, scanners and printers are all strategically oriented throughout the corporate offices to have easy accessibility and facilitate the handling of documents throughout all departments. IEEE uses servers to manage and store all their company data and information securely, and to ensure a centralized form of control. The company also utilizes private Wi-Fi networks that are available to all employees and allow them to establish a connection to a private internet network when at the facilities. Although t

Dynamic Process Analysis  “Dynamic processes are flexible, informal, and adaptive processes that normally involve strategic and less structured managerial decisions and activities.” Dynamic processes are adaptive in that they change rapidly and often, supporting flexible yet strategic managerial decisions and activities. Dynamic processes differ from structured processes in many ways; however, the formalities and operational structure hold the greatest impact. In short, dynamic processes require human judgment as compared to operational processes. For Dynamic processes, the focus will be sales and marketing. Membership engagement can be categorized under both sales and marketing as well as customer service. However, with all of the developmental and operational aspects included in membership engagement, it is important to focus on the membership strategy while still engaging and using human judgment to make an impact.  Membership Engagement is an essential component of the business pro

Structured Process Analysis Process: Membership Reviewal & Acceptance The IEEE membership management process involves the following steps to accept a member: application submission, application review, application acceptance/denial, payment of membership dues, and lastly the welcome package. After accepting and receiving the welcome package the member will have access to a number of different benefits that are only given through membership acceptance. After being accepted as a member the member would fall into the membership management process which encompasses a few different aspects such as managing member information, providing access to IEEE resources and databases, and the processing of payments. Steps to Fulfill and Complete Process: Application Submission: Prospective applicants mail in or submit applications for review. Application Review: IEEE membership committee carefully reviews and considers every application. Application Acceptance/Denial: After reviewing applicati

Business Strategy Five forces analysis Bargaining Power of Buyers: Rating: Medium Explanation: When it comes to bargaining power, independent individuals and members of IEEE do have bargaining power, because they can easily choose to use the standards or intelligence of other organizations. However, because of its widespread usage and standard adoptions along with strong reputation and history, IEEE is able to avoid these risks to a certain degree. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Rating: Low Explanation: IEEE's main sources are the expertise, prowess, and knowledge of their members and volunteers. They are not subject to any suppliers as their sources and power stem from the knowledge of the individuals who form part of the organization. Threat of Substitutes: Rating: Medium Explanation: There are other organizations within the industry. However, the history and reputation of IEEE make it the most dominant standards organization, which would reduce chances and therefore reduce the o
