Systems Analysis and Design, Tenth EditionEnd of Chapter SolutionsToolkitExercisessQuestions1.What is a corporate culture, and why is it important? Describe the culture atabusinesswhere you have been employed.A corporate culture is the set of beliefs, rules, traditions, values, and attitudes that define acompany and influence its way of doing business. To be successful, a systems analyst mustunderstand, and work within, the corporate culture. For example, if you speak to a groupin a company that encourages a highly participative style, you might want to solicitfeedback, invite audience comments, or conduct a poll during your presentation. Similarly,if the organization or group is very formal, or very informal, you might want to adjust yourstyle accordingly.(Page565)2.Mention five specific techniques you can use to improve your written documents.As the Toolkit suggests, students who have not taken a writing course should considerdoing so. The textbook offers 10 specific suggestions for better-written documents, asfollows:a.Know your audience. If you are writing for nontechnical readers, use terms thatreaders will understand.b.Use the active voice wheneverpossible. For example, the active voice sentence “Tomdesigned the system,” is better than, “The system was designed by Tom,” which is anexample of the passive voice.c.Keep your writing concise and well organized. Use one paragraph to convey a singleidea.d.Use an appropriate style. For example, use a conversational tone in informaldocuments and a business tone in formal documents.e.Use lists. When you must enumerate a number of subtopics related to the same topic,lists are an organized way to present them.f.Use short, easy-to-understand words. Your objective is not to impress your audiencewith the size of your vocabulary.g.Avoid repeating the same word too often. Use a thesaurus to locate synonyms forfrequently repeated words. Many word processing programs include a thesaurus andother tools to help you write better.
