| USN | NAME | TOPIC | COMMENTS |
| 1MS07IS071 | Pratik Vasani | C 1.1 - Passengers get royal treatment on the Queen Mary 2 | Good: 1. The first question is well answered. 2. The answers are brief and to the point. Deficiencies: 1. It is clear that wi-fi connectivity is provided in the ship from the first answer. So, the provision of internet connectivity as a means to enhance customer comfort (2nd answer) is redundant. Probably the reliability of maintain the connectivity at all times and the infrastructure needed to do the same would be more a more pertinent issue to address. 2. Language could have been better. 3. Better solutions to enhance comfort could have been thought of. |
| 1MS07IS072 | Preetham N H | C 1.2 - IT helps commerce bank branch out | Good: 1. The first answer presents a nice overview of how technology is providing a competitive advantage to the bank. Deficiencies: 1. The ‘May I help you’ sections and the complaint books are necessary in every bank according to the Goiporia Commission (ref: http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Notification/PDFs/71309.pdf, Recommendation 5). That suggestion is redundant since it exists. 2. It would have been better if some IT solutions were looked into. |
| 1MS07IS073 | Priya M.S | C1.3- Pratt & Whitney Collaborates with Customers | Good: 1. The first answer is well answered and to the point. Deficiencies: 1. The author in the second answer expresses the opinion that customization is the right thing to do and lists the disadvantages of customization the same answer. It would have been better if the author explained why customization was better with the given disadvantages. That would have resulted in a more complete answer. |
| 1MS07IS074 | Raghavendra K.C | The Real Estate Industry in the New Economy | Good: 1. The stand is clear. 2. The reasoning seems to be sound. Deficiencies: 1. A lot of scope for improvement in the presentation. 2. The 1st answer which is predicated on the utilization of the ‘competitive advantages of the Internet’ is unclear. |
| 1MS07IS075 | - | - | - |
| 1MS07IS076 | Rajani B.V | C 2.2 - Ignore your information systems at your peril | Good: 1. The stand is clear. 2. The first 2 points of the ‘advantages’ section are good. Deficiencies: 1. In the first answer, the first two sentences are exactly the time expect the addition of ‘ample amount of time’ in the second sentence. 2. How synergy in technology in Wal-mart helps retain its customers is very unclear. 3. There was a need to explain how and why differentiation strategy should only be implemented by Sears Holdings |
| 1MS07IS077 | Rajavardhan.K.G | C2.3-IT Helps Create Demon Customers | Good: 1. Brief 2. 1st answer is well written. Deficiencies: 1. In the 2nd answer where the author speaks about giving new products for testing on demon customers. Since the customers are already well informed, I’m not sure they will consent to be experimented upon. So that solution seems impractical. |
| 1MS07IS078 | Raksha Jagadeesh | C 2.4 - Is Dollar General Really Thriving with Minimal IT? | Good: 1. First answer is particularly informative and conveys the author’s point well. Deficiencies: 1. Lack of citation. 2. The second answer does not mention the role of I.T for the betterment of the organization |
| 1MS07IS079 | Rakshita Shetty | C 2.5- Here Come The Robots | Good: 1. Lucid explanation. 2. Well defined stand and some very good points to support the same. 3. Nice presentation. Deficiencies: 1. The ‘My Point of View’ section contained redundant information. The author’s standpoint was fairly clear from the answer to the two previous questions. So it could have been condensed or eliminated. 2. It appeared as if the author was trying to press the point slightly harder than it was actually necessary |
| 1MS07IS080 | Rashmi Kamat | C 3.1 - Your boss is watching | Good: 1. The author speaks about using technology such as RFID as means to bring in more accountability, which is necessary in the present scenario. Deficiencies: 1. There is a lot ambiguity. For instance, the library example in the first example seems out of place in this context. |
| 1MS07IS081 | Raunak Bairoliya | C3.2- Choice Point | Good: 1. The stand is clear. 2. The principles of human rights standard for privacy illustrated the author’s standpoint quite well. Deficiencies: 1. The language could have been a bit better. 2. The responsibilities and rights of the Internet user could have been explored instead of just focusing on the government’s role in mitigation the issue. |
| 1MS07IS082 | Rishikesh Borkotoky | C 3.3 - Using eBay to Fence Stolen Goods | Good: 1. Well written. 2. The author’s opinion on the topic is also quite clear. Deficiencies: 1. For items like gift certificates, coupons etc it is very difficult to have any documentary proof like bills or legal documents. So I think that the solution presented in the first question seems quite flimsy. 2. Sentences like ‘To make a purchase on an online site is most often linked with being insecure and involves a great amount of tracking and recursivity’ should have been more clearly explained. |
| 1MS07IS083 | Rohit Ranjan Rai | C3.4- MyDoom Attacks the SCO group | Good: 1. Well written and to the point. 2. Citation is provided. Bad: 1. The policies that have to be formed in terms of administrative, managerial activities to prevent similar attacks can be looked into. |
| 1MS07IS084 | Roopavani. R | C 3.5 - Cantor Fitzgerald gives pop quizzes | Good: 1. The stand is clear. 2. Answers are brief and to the point. 3. The advantages part is well written. Deficiencies: 1. The language usage (words like ‘workforce’ has not been used properly) should have been better. 2. It seemed like the author is unclear about the context in which the idea of ‘rebuilding’ was used. Rebuilding in the case given in the text book referred to the restoration of data after 9/11. It somehow does not relate to making of calls by Cantor Fitzgerald. |
| 1MS07IS085 | Sahana. P | C 4.1 How clean are your data? | Good: 1. Good explanation 2. 2nd answer presents good ideas. Deficiencies: 1. First answer is unnecessarily long. |
| 1MS07IS087 | Sai Janaki Tejaswi P | 4.2 Virtual Database Provides Relief | Good: 1. Answers are brief. Deficiencies: 1. The example in the first answers seems to be very weak. 2. The author says-“Reduces the effort in management of conventional databases.” Since virtual databases are software that enable the viewing of a collection of databases as a single database, the idea of maintaining individual databases still hold. |
| 1MS07IS088 | - | - | - |
| 1MS07IS089 | Salman Baig A | 4.3:Diageo Tracks Its Spirits | Good: 1. Answers are brief and simple to understand. Deficiencies: 1. More exploration on the US regulations was required for the first answer. 2. More explanation on the 2nd answer would have made things clearer. |
| 1MS07IS090 | Satchidanand Das | CS 4.4. Straightening out a pretzel maker | Good: 1. Good presentation. 2. Answers are clear and concise. Deficiencies: 1. The advantages required some more thought. The impact of paperless office could have been discussed. 2. In the 2nd answer, the idea of using proCube as a tool for expanding into newer markets could have been explored. |
| 1MS07IS092 | Sharath Babu | C 4.5 Who ya' Gone Call | Good: 1. Answers brief. Deficiencies: 1. More details for the first answer were required. |
| 1MS07IS093 | Shivam Dubey | C5.1Corporate Portal Improves Productivity at British Aerospace | Good: 1. 2nd answer is quite well written. Deficiencies: 1. First answer is very vague. For example, statements like “business content that portals provide-they need facilites such as content management and collaboration tools as well.” |
| 1MS07IS094 | Shreyas.V | C 5.2 H.J.Heinz Becomes Its Own Phone Company | Good: 1. 2nd answer is well written. Deficiencies: 1. The advantages of VoIP have been explored. However, it would have been better to have an economic and a tangible perspective on the issue. |
| 1MS07IS095 | Shruthi K.N | C 5.3 Blogs Mean Business | Good: 1. 1st answer is well written and the author’s ideas are clear. Deficiencies: 1. The 2nd answer seemingly tends to focus on the idea of the company having a blog on it’s site, which deviates from what the case is. Ideas like word of mouth publicity, which make a fleeting appearance in the answer required better and more detailed explanation. 2. Statements such as –‘Thus blogs lead to "THIRST AND STRIVE FOR THE BEST" ’either need to be omitted or explained further. |
| 1MS07IS096 | Shruthi Raghavan | 5.4 : Speak , Customer ! | Good: 1. Good example in the 2nd answer. 2. Answers are brief. Deficiencies: 1. The first answer does not really talk about the benefits of collaboration between customers and the manufacturer. |
| 1MS07IS097 | Siddesh.S | C5.5 Citigroup Creates a global, Web-Based Information Delivery System | Good: 1. Brief answers and generally to the point. Deficiencies: 1. Certain points like “Easy access of the information is obtained to its employees at once if these are intact in web. There is a need to gather information available in variety of sources” need to be put differently or explained. 2. 2nd answer needs better explanation. |
| 1MS07IS098 | Siddharth Surana | Case 6.1 - Electronic Commerce Threatens Traditional Jewellers | Good: 1. Well written. 2. There is clarity in what the author is trying to convey. 3. 1st answer is well written Deficiencies: 1. In the 2nd answer, the author could have explored more solutions like creating a niche in the existing brick and mortar store. 2. In the conclusion section, the author suggests that there should be a store and e-commerce site. The author suggests the problems with the e-commerce site in the previous answer. Economic viability of having both an e-commerce site and a store front site for newer stores is not very clear. |
| 1MS07IS099 | Soumya V.N | Case 6.2-Good news and bad news about multichanneling | Good: 1. Simple and clear answers. Deficiencies: 1. The economic viability of implementing multichanneling required a deeper exploration. 2. The explanation of point 3 in the disadvantages section of the 1st question and the 1st point in the same section could have been merged. Similarly points 2 and 4 can be merged. |
| 1MS07IS102 | Sriniketan G.S | case 6.3 The check's in the mail-not! | Good: 1. Answers are short and generally to the point. Deficiencies: 1. The security aspect of online transactions had to be considered. Only aspects of time were considered. 2. The author says that crossed checks are secure in the 2nd answer. On the other hand crossing of checks has been listed as a problem in the 1st answer. They seem contradictory. |
| 1MS07IS103 | Sudhanshu Kumar | Case 6.4 Target's Not-So-Smart Cards | Good: 1. Answers are to the point. Deficiencies: 1. Presentation in terms of clarity of thought and grammar could have been a lot better. 2. There seems to be no clarity when it comes to the steps taken to save the smart cards. Ideas like-‘They should take care of not the type of card but the benefits associated with it’ seem very vague and unclear. |
| 1MS07IS104 | Suma P | Case 6.5-Microsoft goes after student | Good: 1. The side the author takes is clear. Deficiencies: 1. The author takes the side of Mike Rowe stating that Microsoft’s trademark is not infringement due to dissimilarities in the sight and meaning of MikeRowesoft, which seems inaccurate. Follow this link for further details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusing_similarity 2. The author says –“I think MikeRoweSoft was an attempt to capitalize on the recognition of Microsoft”. So, the idea of Microsoft ignoring cybersquatting on their domain name becomes fairly moot. |
| 1MS07IS105 | Surakshith .B | 7.1 Wireless helps police in two cities | Good: 1. Answers are concise. 2. 2nd answer is good. Deficiencies: 1. Privacy implications needed a better treatment. It seemed a little vague. 2. The first answer needed to slightly more specific. |
| 1MS07IS107 | Tejus.R | Case 7.2: UPS integrates Bluetooth and WI-FI | Good: 1. Precise answers. Deficiencies: 1. Data collisions due to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage could have been considered in giving a more complete picture about the savings. |
| 1MS07IS113 | Vijay S Kumar | Case 7.3: MCI bets on Wi-Fi | Good: 1. The stand is clear. 2. Clear and brief answers. Deficiencies: 1. The idea that companies will be willing to pay more for a WiFi connection just because they make more money seems futile. 2. The 2nd question required the author to speak about the profitability of MCI’s current offering. Hypothetical statements such as “Yes, MCI can make money with its Wi-Fi offerings, but the key for their success lies in providing a secure, error free, efficient access to internet all the time…” do not add any value to the answer. |
| 1MS07IS136 | Nithin KV | C7.4 Wi-Max Comes to Rural England | Good: 1. Well written. 2. The new technologies mentioned seem viable. Deficiencies: 1. The applicability of Flash OFDM needs explanation. 2. More thought could have been put in on the 2nd question about the economics. Considering that it is a rural area implementation of the technology is bound to be expensive. Hence, offering Wi-Max receivers may not be very viable. |
| 1MS06IS014 | Poonam R. Bhawnani | C7.5 Circuit city improves the shopping experience | Good: 1. The stand is clear. 2. The usage of virtual images seems to be a nice idea. Deficiencies: 1. The 1st answer does not emphasize on how RFIDs violate privacy. |
| 1MS08IS400 | Amit Nayak T.E | 8.1-Software Error costs Bank millions | Good: 1. Good explanation. 2. Some valid points in the 2nd answer. Deficiencies: 1. First answer is out of context. |
| 1MS08IS401 | Arpith U.K | 8.2 Regulatory Compliance Places New Importance on Reports | Good: 1. Answers are brief and to the point. Deficiencies: 1. The provisions of the Act in brief or a link to read about the Act would have helped understand the ideas presented better. |
| 1MSO8IS402 | Chaithra.T.R | 8.3 Under Armour Puts an ERP System to Work | Good: 1. Some valid points. Deficiencies: 1. Long winded, unnecessary explanations. |
| 1MS08403 | Janardhan C | 8.4: ERP Problem at Stanford | Good: 1. Brief answers. 2. The stand is well explained in the third question. Deficiencies: 1. The author does not mention after how many attempts Stanford University should have started afresh, which renders that point fairly weak. 2. In the third answer, the language could have been better leading to better clarity. |
| 1MS08IS404 | Karthik K | 8.5 Remington Takes Care Of Its Customers | Good: 1. Answers are brief and clear. Deficiencies: 1. The aspects of gun regulation and laws pertaining to them and how CRM could have helped facilitate customers understand them better needed further exploration. |
| 1MS08IS405 | Padma. B.S | c-8.6 Murray Moves to Internet EDI | Good: 1. The second answer is well written. Deficiencies: 1. No clarity on the relationship between Walmart and Murray. 2. Language and grammar needs improvement. |
| 1MS08IS406 | Prashant | c9.1) NHL Hockey Team Uses a Decision Support System to Win | Good: 1. Answers are concise. Deficiencies: 1. Both answers are left abruptly. 2. More research was required. |
| 1MS08IS407 | Prashant S Maski | C9.2: Hauling Trash Efficiently | Good: 1. The last paragraph of the First answer is well written. Deficiencies: 1. Unnecessarily long explanation for the first answer. 2. The variables to be considered are redundant like points number 2 and 3. 3. The idea of the application should not eliminate the jobs of the driver is rather unclear. |
| 1MS08IS408 | Renuka A Jadhav | 9.3 Aetna keeps Track of its Performance | Good: 1. Brief answers. 2. The benefits of an EMIS to Aetna has been well written. Deficiencies: 1. The ranking of Physicians, if it is actually done, should be based on all the categories the author mentions. The author opines that physicians should not be ranked by isolating parameters, which renders the first answer fairly weak. 2. The disadvantages section needs some explanation. |
| 1MS08IS409 | Sagar K.V | 9.4 An EIS for Ford Dealers | Good: 1. 1st answer is brief and to the point. Deficiencies: 1. “So dealer can compare himself to these matrices and get to know his place in the geographical area.” – the meaning of the statement is not clear. 2. Maybe ideas like calculating variance and other statistical methods which help decision making needs exploration. |
| 1MS08IS410 | Sharath. S | 9.5: system helps doctors diagnose patients | Good: 1. Brief Deficiencies: 1. Application of DSS in the healthcare system is not clear. 2. 2nd answer needs much more explanation. PS: Please mention your name and USN |
| 1MS08IS411 | Swetha.M | C 10.1 AFLAC learns how to plan its IT projects | Good: 1. Brief answers. Deficiencies: 1. The 2nd answer is very unclear. 2. The grammar and language need improvement. |
| 1MS05IS067 | Shreyas D | C 10.2 Vistakon's New System in Europe | Good: 1. 2nd answer is brief and precise. 2. Clear explanation Deficiencies: 1. I’m unable to understand how the ‘middle man’ is coming into picture. Just because the company’s offices are scattered the middle man issue need not come into the picture. It required more explanation. 2. The section in which the author speaks about the factors that contribute to the company’s losses seems to be fairly vague. For example, “There are chances of manual errors being made in entering the financial reports from the balance sheets (excel sheets) to the manual log book.” The above statement made by the author is not clear. Errors are an inherent part of any system. So a SAP system or not there are always errors and cannot be considered as a reason for Vistakon implementing the $50 million dollar system. |
| 1MS06IS051 | Priyonath Banerjee | 10.3 New FBI system fails | Good: 1. Nice Presentation. Deficiencies 1. Both answers need clearer explanations |
| 1MS06IS102 | VIJAY S.S | C10.5 - Procter & Gamble Outsources to Hewlett-Packard | Good: 1. Well written first answer. Deficiencies: 1. Sources not cited. 2. The second answer is factual and does not contain the author’s opinion on the question. |
| 1MS07IS106 | Sushma Rao | C1-Albertsons and Walmart case | Good: 1. Brief explanation Deficiencies: 1. The stand is unclear. In the second answer the author says ‘It may or may not. It can be statistically determined after few years’. 2. Presentation especially the grammar should have been better. |
| 1MS07IS108 | Trishanth | C2-Survival in the digital age: Kodak's story... | Good: 1. Simple and brief answers. Deficiencies: 1. The analogy in the second question is not clear. Are Kodak and the music industry analogous in the way the data can be copied? Are they analogous in terms of ease of availability? 2. The grammar and the language should have been better. |
| 1MS07IS110 | Uttamani Hitesh | C3-What are Universities to Do? | Good: 1. Well written and fairly clear. 2. The first answer puts across the point well. Deficiencies: 1. ‘Student Residential Networks’ required more explanation. 2. The solutions presented to the problem are generally deducible from one another. For instance, firewalling implies that apart from preventing the entry of unscrupulous network access the traffic inside the network is allowed certain privileges only. Hence, blocking p2p software, bandwidth hogging is by and large avoided. Issues like registering a system with the institution’s network to avoid misuse can be explored. |
| 1MS07IS111 | Vatsal T Doshi | C4- Data management helps save Toyota U.S.A. | Good: 1. Answers well written. Deficiencies: 1. Lot of details could have been omitted. It would have been better if the answers were more concise. Eg: 1st paragraph in the first answer could have just been replaced with “The problem faced here by this component was that there was manual entry of data about every purchase and sale of the vehicle or the spare parts.” |
| 1MS07IS114 | Vijetha P.C. | C5: Network Pulls A Company Together | Good: 1. Lucid explanation. 2. 2nd answer is particularly well written. Deficiencies: 1. The first answer should have been more to the point. |
| 1MS07IS115 | Vinith J | C6 The San Francisco Giants Enhance Their Fan's Experience | Good: 1. Well written and to the point. 2. 1st answer explains the idea in detail. Deficiencies: 1. The author has not explored how digitization has improved the quality of baseball of the Giants. 2. Also, how technology has improved the fan experience required more thought. |
| 1MS07IS116 | Vishal Agarwal | C7: Philadelphia adopts Mesh Network | Good: 1. Well written and clear. 2. The idea of a cheaper device almost exclusively for internet access (like OLPC) suggested by the author seems to be a good idea. Deficiencies: 1. The question of how successful the implementation will be is not discussed. 2. The usage of smart phones in poverty stricken areas seems far-fetched. |
| 1MS07IS118 | Vivek Kumar Mishra | C.8. IT in museums | Good: 1. Well researched. 2. Detailed and relevant explanation about CRM is provided. Deficiencies: 1. Choice of words and language needs improvement. |
| 1MS07IS119 | Yeshwant Singh | 9. Apparel retailer has to stay current | Good: 1. Well written and to the point. Deficiencies: 1. Source not mentioned. |

| 1MS07IS123 | Baharan Asghari | IA 3,4 | Not submitted |
| 1MS07IS124 | Darshan Thapa | IA 5,6 | Good: 1. Answers written are good and to the point. Deficiencies: 1. Incomplete assignment. |
| 1MS07IS126 | Hamidreza Habibi | IA 7,8 | Good: 1. Good effort. Deficiencies: 1. Sources not cited. 2. The assignment was to visit mapinfo.com. The author has merely defined what LBS’ are. 3. The answers in general could have been more in tune with the question asked. |
| 1MS07IS127 | Malihe Alimohammadi | IA 9,10 | Not submitted |
| 1MS07IS130 | Mohammad Reza | PSA1 | Good: 1. Well written and concise answers. Deficiencies: 1. Assignment is incomplete. 2. Language and grammar needs to be better. |
| 1MS07IS131 | Moshen Fasihi Yazdi | PSA 2 | Good: 1. Clear and well written answers. Deficiencies: 1. The second answer could have been explained further. 2. Language and grammar could have been better |
| 1MS04IS096 | Mohammad Askari.J | PSA 3 | Good: 1. Well researched. 2. Some good points about privacy in the workplace. Deficiencies: 1. Explanation is sometimes not clear. 2. The language and the grammar could have been better. |
1MS06IS104 | Vinay Das | PSA 4 | Good: 1. The two answers written are informative and concise. Deficiencies: 1. All the questions have not been answered |
| 1MS06IS070 | Samarth Manu | PSA 5 | Good: 1. Informative and well written. Deficiencies: 1. Please cite sources especially when you pick up tables directly. 2. The last answer seems a lot be to be desired. 3. 1 question about planning a trip to Austria has not been answered |
| 1MS05IS094 | Shahab Sadeghi | PSA 6 | Good: 1. Well researched. 2. The answer about P&G is well written. Deficiencies: 1.

| 1MS06IS059 | Rishabh Asthana | PSA 9 | Good: 1. PSA 9.1 has been answered in detail after going through quite a lot of resources. Deficiencies: 1. Please mention the sources of information. (like http://www.portblue.com/pub/solutions-finance, http://web.iitd.ac.in/~achawla/PDF%20Files/EXPERT%20SYSTEM%20FOR%20DFM%20OF%20DIE%20CAST%20COMPONENTS.pdf) 2. In PSA 9.2 requires more concrete points. The author says the computer cannot diagnose a problem. So, the author’s claim that it can provide alternative solutions to a problem seems weak. |
1MS06IS033 | Masudur Rahaman | PSA10 | Good: 1. Detailed explanation. Deficiencies: 1. The fairness part of the question is not answered at all. 2. Assignment incomplete. |
