Week 6 discussion and assignment

Week 6 Discussion

Data and Information for Planning and Decision-Making

While reading about communications and technology, you have come across the words data and information. In this Discussion, you will have the opportunity to examine the differences between the meanings of the two words. How would you define data? How would you define information? Which word’s meaning includes the meaning of the other word? Importantly, how do these two modes of providing content impact quality control in an operation?

Post by Day 3 a 150- to 500-word statement that answers both of the following questions:

·         What are the differences between data and information, and how can they be used for effective planning and decision making?

·         How does access to data and information impact a manager’s ability to initiate, maintain, and control quality in an organization?

Support your work with specific citations from the Learning Resources. You are allowed to draw from additional sources to support your argument, but you must cite using APA standards. All quoted material must be identified, cited, and referenced per APA standards.

You are encouraged to enrich your posting with your personal examples, experience, or insights.

Edit your postings carefully for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.

Respond by Day 6 with at least 75 words each to two or more of your colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways:

·         Ask a probing question.

·         Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting.

·         Offer and support an opinion.

·         Make a suggestion.

·         Expand on your colleague’s posting.

Please note that that you are expected to post and respond to class Discussions a minimum of 2 different days each week (1 day to submit your post, another to respond to your colleagues). Points will be deducted if you do not participate in the course Discussion on at least on 2 days during the week. 

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your posting and responses. Note what you have learned and the insights that you gained as a result of participating in this Discussion.
