3.0 IMPORTANCE OF DATA LITERACY
According to article of Tengku Adil, Mohd Shamsul, Mohammad Fazli, Ahmad Nadzri, & Ahmad Azman, (2017) importance of data literacy is to improve knowledge management practices is the organizations refers to technologies to create, stores, retrieves and distributes knowledge for order to support their decision making and the technologies such as knowledge management systems (KMS) is to allow organizations to get many benefit vast amounts of business intelligence. The technologies allow people to support report, store current and historical data and consolidate data for management analysis and decision makings.
Besides, people can make more effective examination which can use in more effective decision making

Data literacy were stated simply which there are three primary stages of the data life cycle, along with an overarching data governance that helps to manage these data acquisition, acquiring information from a rich and varied data environment. Data awareness, connecting data from different sources into a coherent the whole. Data analytics are using this contextual data to answer questions about the state of your organization. Data governance will establish a framework for providing for the provenance, infrastructure and disposition of that …show more content…

Data administration is a fundamental piece of good IT administration, which thusly is a foundation in corporate administration. A fundamental part of the IT administration is data security, specifically relating to individual data. On the other hand, numerous associations don't have a reasonable arrangement for data security administration.
Typically, the primary goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and efficiently to users via a system of information graphics and visual communication, such as tables and charts. Effective visualization helps users

Data management is the process of managing information through designs and policies of an organization (Rouse, M., 2010). Data managers have to make sure that their organization is in compliance with regulations at all times. Data management can be effective if the organization do the following: 1) Every individual is assigned his or her on responsibility, 2) Determine how the data will be stored and backed up, 3) Implement a data management plan, and 4) Determine how data will be modified (Penn State, n.d.). Knowing who is involved and what their job is with the data is essential for an organization in order to manage data. When managing data you have to know how it will be stored and backed up in order to access the data effectively. You can not manage data without having an effective management plan to show you how to manage the data in your particular organization. Also, if you are managing the data you have to be able to know how the data will and when it will be modified. Managing data can be tricky, especially now that there are lots of laws that an organization must be in compliance with.
Methods The article is divided largely in four major sections. The introduction lays out different basic concepts used in knowledge management (KM) for our better understanding of the topic. Then, the author continues on by touching upon various factors and steps involved in decision making processes. The first section delves into sources of knowledge and the second section explains incorporation of the different sets of knowledge at different steps of decision making processes. Thirdly, the integration of all the factors above is emphasized. All the key components together bring forth 4 different dimensions. Having access to knowledge whether it’s bas...

In today’s society, technology has become more advanced than the human’s mind. Companies want to make sure that their information systems stay up-to-date with the rapidly growing technology. It is very important to senior-level executives and board of directions of companies that their systems can produce the right and best information for their company to result in a greater outcome and new organizational capabilities. Big data and data analytics are one of those important factors that contribute to a successful company and their updated software and information systems.

...bjectives and realize growth. Knowledge Management Knowledge management plays a key role in ensuring that the different functions and activities of a company are synchronized. In Google’s case, the purchase of Motorola (which has turned out not to have been the best business decision) probably could have been avoided if the knowledge within the company was managed and used better. Knowledge enables a company to create, recognize and distribute opportunities. When every employee of a company contributes his or her part of knowledge into the knowledge pool, it is very beneficial as it contributes to the overall success of the company. Proper application of the available knowledge in a company can offer several competitive benefits to both the company and the employees. Application of accurate knowledge at the correct situation helps a company to make good decisions.
At the core of Management Information Systems is the ability to process and manage a vital human asset: information. Writing, in its original clay tablet and papyrus forms, is the original management information system, affecting society as a whole, not just through business, but also through government and religion. Writing allowed information to be widely accessible and manageable, beginning a dynamic process in which information lead to technological advances which in turn lead to greater information processing and management tools. At each stage of this process, technology transformed the medium of information: taking it from clay, to ink, to print, to analog, and now to digital. It is in this digital age that information is once again experiencing a renaissance transformation. More than ever, massive amounts of information, in the form of quantitative data and relevant business intelligence, is available to businesses and business partners. This new form of information is known as “big data,” which according to Viktor Mayer-Schonberger and Kenneth Cukier is not merely the ownership of large amounts of data, but also the “ability of society [including businesses] to harness information in novel ways to produce useful insights or goods and services of significant value.” A key example given by Cukier and Mayer in their book Big Data, is the case of the H1NI influenza outbreak in 2009. The U.S. Centers of Desease Control and Prevention (CDC) set out to map all outbreaks of H1N1. In practice, the CDC was able to identify outbreaks, through hospital reports, two weeks after actual events unfolded on the ground. With the help of Google and their data experts however, the CDC was able to locate outbreaks in near real-tim...
For the past couple of decades the majority of businesses have wanted to construct a data-driven organization or company. Furthermore, companies around the world are considering harnessing data as a basis of competitive advantage over other companies. As a result, business intelligence and data science use are popular in many organizations today. The increase in adoption of these data systems is in response to the heavy rise in communications abilities the world over. Which, in turn ,has increased the need for data products. Indeed, the Data Scientist profession is emerging to be one of the better-paying professions due to the urgent need of their labor. This paper is going to discuss what business intelligence is all about and explain data science that is usually confused to be similar to business intelligence. I will tackle a brief overview of data scientists and their role in organizations.
The issue of technology in libraries and thus the need for librarians to be technologically literate is not the matter of much debate.What is debatable is the organizational framework within which the technological education of librarians will take place.In fact, one of the most contentious issues is whether it is librarians being educated.Tenopir (2000) points out that the word “library” has been dropped from the names of such schools as the Universities of Tennessee, Michigan, and Syracuse.The new schools are called more generic names like “School of Information.”The emphasis on information sciences, especially information technologies, is of concern to many.Wiegand (2000) worried that “LIS educators [are] so eager to drop the ‘L’ word from their program ...

The question people are asking themselves today is, Is digital literacy just as important as daily subjects such as reading, writing, and math for our students today? To prepare for this paper I was given three excerpts to read. Right away I was drawn to how much time we spend on the internet daily and what types of things we do while we are on the internet. I realized that today’s society is dependent on the internet for most things like doing homework, researching information, shopping, and getting on social media websites. While reading a fact sheet named Fact Sheet: Digital Literacy, “We live in an internet economy I came across interesting facts such as 96% of Americans use technology and internet at their jobs and 28% of American don’t
