The role of information systems in business today

Information systems are the foundation for conducting business today. In many industries, survival and even existence is difficult without extensive use of information technology. No longer can we imagine going to work and conducting business without them. As a society we have come to rely extensively on the use of information appliances such as cell phones,

, handhelds and other hardware. Communicating and conducting business is increasingly being carried out through the use of e mail, online conferencing and international teleconferencing. Internet technologies have become essential business tools.Slide3

Firms learn to use

the new technologies to outsource production work to low wage countries.Slide6

Globalization challenges and opportunities: a flattened world

A growing percentage of the economy of India and other advanced countries in South East Asia depends on imports and exports, Foreign trade, as a percentage of GDP was over 25% in 2006, up from 14.1% percent in 1990-91.

It’s not just goods that move across borders. So to do jobs, some of them high level jobs that pay well and require a college degree.

On the plus side, a recent

Nasscom

- CRISIL report, “The Rising Tide- Output and Employment Linkages of IT-

What is an information system?

An information system can be defined technically as a set of interrelated components that collect (or retrieve), process, store, and distribute information to support decision making and control in an organization

By information we mean data that have been shaped into a form that is meaningful and useful to human beings. Data, in contrast, are streams of raw facts representing events occurring in organizations or the physical environment before they have been organized.Slide13

Data and information

Raw data from the super market can be processed to get useful informationSlide14

Functions of an information system

Regulatory Agencies

Stock Holders

Competitors

Suppliers

CustomersSlide15

Dimensions of information systems

The three themes; management, organizations and technology

Understanding the interaction between these factors and the information systems is known as information system literacy.

Knowing how to optimize the relationship between technology, organizations, and management is the purpose of this course.Slide16

Information systems are more than computersSlide17

An overview of complementary assets

The study of information systems deals with issues and insights contributed from technical and behavioral disciplines. The disciplines that contribute to the technical approach are computer science, management science, and operations research, the disciplines contributing to the behavioral approach are psychology, sociology and economicsSlide24

Technical Approach

After all, everything in a computer is ultimately reduced to a zero or a one. So using the technical approach, you could say that 2+2=4

Behavioral Approach

The behavioral approach on the other hand, takes into account the very nature of human beings. Nothing is totally black and white.

Neither approach is better than the otherSlide25

Socio technical systems

Throughout this book you will find a rich story with four main actors: suppliers of hardware and software (the technologists); business firms making investments and seeking to obtain value from the technology; managers and employees seeking to achieve business value (and other goals); and the contemporary legal, social, and cultural context (the firm’s environment)

The study of MIS arose in the 1970s to focus on the use of computer based information systems in business firms and government agencies.Slide26
