| Label | Topic | Course |
|---|---|---|
| NIE-DBE-1 | What is the difference between training, validation and test set. How is this used with Artificial Neural Networks? | DA-DMI |
| NIE-DBE-2 | How do you know that one classification technique works better than another? | DA-DMI |
| NIE-DBE-3 | In the realm of data analysis and machine learning, discuss the challenges associated with distinguishing between identified patterns and true underlying relationships in data. Consider concepts such as overfitting, generalization, and the trade-off between recognizing patterns and uncovering genuine patterns in the data. | DA-DMI |
| NIE-DBE-4 | How would you describe the relationship between IT Governance, I&T Risk Management and I&T Security Management? | DA-DRS |
| NIE-DBE-5 | Describe the standards landscape on I&T Security and discuss the benefits/drawbacks of one of the key standards. | DA-DRS |
| NIE-DBE-6 | In I&T Risk management a distinction is made between quantitative and qualitative risk analysis methods. Discuss the key characteristics of both and their respective benefits and drawbacks. | DA-DRS |
| NIE-DBE-7 | Discuss the importance for an organisation of defining their risk appetite, and some of the challenges they can encounter when doing so. | DA-DRS |
| NIE-DBE-8 | Explain the importance of “The Heresy of Innovation”. Relate this to the concept of “Market-Creating Innovations” in Digital Innovation. | DD-DIN |
| NIE-DBE-9 | Explain the central role of the concept of Creative Destruction in the economics of innovation. | DD-DIN |
| NIE-DBE-10 | Explain the concept of Disruptive Innovation in the context of Digital Innovation. | DD-DIN |
| NIE-DBE-11 | Explain the core concepts of the “Enterprise Governance of IT theory” and their relationship. Give for each of the concepts an example of how you could measure it. | DD-DSG |
| NIE-DBE-12 | Alignment is the mediator that links Governance to Value. What are the different dimensions of this construct, and what are common difficulties that organizations experience when aligning business and IT (i.e., barriers)? | DD-DSG |
| NIE-DBE-13 | Explain the relationship between the COBIT objectives and the “Enterprise Governance of IT theory” to create IT-enabled business value. | DD-DSG |
| NIE-DBE-14 | The IT Balanced Scorecard can give managers the practical guidance to link different kinds of goals and measures. Explain how the different dimensions of the IT Balanced Scorecard can be linked in terms of lead and lag indicators. | DD-DSG |
| NIE-DBE-15 | Explain a membership economy, to be distinguished from a transactional economy. | DD-SMN |
| NIE-DBE-16 | To what extent is corporate governance and ESG important for strategists? | DD-SMN |
| NIE-DBE-17 | How do the 5 Forces in Michael Porter’s model help us to define the firm’s strategy? | DD-SMN |
| NIE-DBE-18 | Explain: theoretical foundations of evolvable software systems, principles and laws, system stability, normalized systems, combinatorial effect, the topic of modularity. History of evolvable software system approaches. | NIE-NSS/DA-SEA |
| NIE-DBE-19 | Explain: ensuring software evolvability using NSS, principles, design patterns, architecture, code generation. | NIE-NSS/DA-SEA |
| NIE-DBE-20 | Explain: theory of NSS and its application in domains other than software systems domain. | NIE-NSS/DA-SEA |
| NIE-DBE-21 | Explain the need for, and role of, continuous rejuvenation in NS theory, and how this is realized in NS theory & tools | NIE-NSS/DA-SEA |
