Directions: Read the following three passages and answer the questions by choosing the best choice (1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark the correct choice on your answer sheet. PASSAGE 1: While it is certainly useful to study the successful ways people solve problems, the old adage that we learn from our mistakes suggests that studying failures might be even more fruitful. This is the concept behind negative patterns, or antipatterns. Whereas patterns describe a recurring problem and its solution, antipatterns describe solutions that have more negative consequences than positive benefits. In effect, they describe dysfunctional approaches to problem-solving, followed by the changes that should be made to overcome this dysfunction. That is, antipatterns describe situations that we often find ourselves in, situations that are not healthy for the individual or the organization. We obviously do not set out to create these dysfunetional situations; they occur because of negleet, malice, ignorance, and assorted other reasons. Once in these predicaments, how do we get out and stay out? This is the rationale for antipatterns.
16.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

1)

Antipatterns are inherently trivial.

2)

Antipatterns describe undesirable solutions.

Which of the following has been mentioned as a possible cause for dysfunctional situations?

1)

Fatigue

2)

Inattention

3)

Inattention

4)

Budget Constraints

Antipatterns: Capabilities and Limitations

19.

Constitution

2)

4)

20.

What is the relationship between antipatterns and problem solving?

1)

Antipatterns describe successful solutions to common problems.

2)

Antipatterns provide normal means for resolving abnormal problem solving.

3)

Antipatterms provide solutions for dysfunctional problem-solving approaches.

4)

Antipatterns describe dysfunetional solutions where problem solving has not been applied.

The role of information technology (IT) in our society has increased dramatically and most of our modern services are increasingly reliant on IT. Also, the provision of a modern service may include the involvement of several IT providers, global networks and a mix of IT devices and telecommunication service providers (i.e. the service is delivered to customers through their own IT devices and their own telecommunication service providers). This involvement of customers' IT in the provision of services, in addition to the blending of personal and sometimes professional IT equipment, is characterized as the consumerization era. When there is a problem in such a service (IT-based service degradation (ITSD)), the problem may not be due to the company that sold the service to the customer, but it may be the fault of any of the above associated partners. Moreover, it is difficult for the customers to pinpoint the source of the problem immediately. They do not know if the reason originates in their own IT devices, or their telecommunication provider, or global networks, or if the reason relates to the company who sold the service and their IT providers. The complex nature of IT in services led us to pose the following rescarch question: "what explains customers' decisions to continue using or to quit their IT-based service following ITSD?" We identify two disciplines that have examined related questions: namely, information systems (IS) and service research (SR). IS literature has examined how online service quality affects a user's behavior and how IT failures may affect online services. Furthermore, studics on pervasive computing and advanced IS roles today provide insights of the way that users perceive technology (e.g. Yoo et al., 2010). Although these works are very insightful for our rescarch objective, they do not cxplain the behavior of IT-based services following ITSD. First, these studies had been highly influenced by service quality theories, which do not take into account the characteristics of the "consumerization" cra. For example, Sun et al. (2012) criticize existing IS service quality theories because they consider the consumer as external to the service delivery. although IS researchers should start by regarding consumers as endogenous to the IT service delivery. Second, these models only study online services, which means that they cannot explain IT-based services where IT is not directly visible to the customer (e.g. back olTice systems).

It's time for IT managers who believe Wi-Fi 6 is a far-away future for their enterprises to think again. With several mileposts passed of late, it now appears the road to enterprise deployment of the next-generation wireless technology has shortened considerably. Markers include the launch of Wi-Fi 6 product certification, the expansion of use beyond public sports venues, and support on new mobile devices from Apple, Google, and Samsung. need to know to keep current in evaluating Wi-Fi 6 for possible use in their enterprises? While the spotlight has been on Wi-li 6 at sports venues, the latest sign of progress with the wireless technology has been its use beyond this vertical. In mid-September, Wi-li equipment vendor Aruba Networks claimed its access points are being used widely among educational institutions such as Seneca College and entire school districts. Healtheare boasts a growing number of implementations, as well. Expanded use beyond sports venues to wide use in other verticals, such as education and healthcare, demonstrates acceptance and progress across industries, which should fuel even broader deployments of the wireless networking technology. Wi-Fi 6 (802.1 lax) is just what the doctor ordered for facilities that are relying on older versions of the tech to support super-high device density, congestion, higher throughput, and more. To date, carly implementers 1ucas Oil Stadium - home of the Indianapolis Colts, West Texas A&M University, and pro soccer teams Houston Dynamo and Dash have invested in the latest Wi-l'i technology. All are customers of Extreme Networks. They're using Wi-Fi 6 to meet the needs of their fans who are regularly jammed into stadium venues for 3-6 hours. The resulting heavy use of Wi-Fi by these ſans during games and concerts leads to continually higher data rates and peaks.
