Database Processing: Fundamentals, Design, and Implementation 13th Edition by David Kroenke, David Auer

Exercise 23

Review the information about Wedgewood Pacific Corporation (WPC) and the WPC database that has been presented in the Project Questions in Chapters 1 and 2.
A. The database is part of an information system to support business operations at Wedgewood Pacific Corporation. What specific business process at Wedgewood Pacific Corporation do you think this information system is being developed to support? How does the WPC database (including the forms and reports, since we are using Microsoft Access 2013 to create the database) support the business process?
B. How does this business process overlay Michael Porter's set of primary and support business activities? Draw a diagram to illustrate this overlap.
C. Based on the actual Wedgewood Pacific Corporation database as it has been created through the Chapter 2 Project Questions, what do you think are the approved requirements for the project? What are the business rules (either stated or implied)?
