ISM 158 Business Information Strategy Instructor: Kevin Ross Teaching Assistant: Joey Rios

ISM 158: Overview This class considers the role of information in business strategy. In particular, we focus on decisions regarding information technology and information systems to give a business competitive advantage over other companies. We will focus on case studies to see why some businesses are more successful than others in building information systems that lead to organizational and individual efficiencies. We look at how information impacts industries, markets and countries, and leads to technology development. We develop an understanding of design and maintenance of networked organizations, including issues of leadership and management.

Discussion Participation We will discuss cases approximately once per week. Active participation in the discussions of the cases and the course material is expected and examined.

Textbook

The Challenges of Managing in a Network Economy  IT is a source of opportunity and advantage but also uncertainty & risk  Chasm between viewpoints Business executives: View IT with apprehension Technical executives: Business leaders lack vision  What is undeniable is the rapidity of change In system architecture and interfaces In business In work and the workforce

The Embedding of IT IT now embedded in: –Definition and execution of strategy –Organization and leadership of businesses –Definitions of unique value propositions Every business definition is morphing before our eyes –Markets –Industries –Strategies –Firm designs Information is now a major economic good

Riding the IT Rollercoaster Mid 1990s: –World Wide Web demonstrated IT potential –Structural and technical hurdles remained in using IT Late 1990s –Capital markets caught the fever –VCs eager to spend on IT, regardless of long-term path to profitability 21 st Century –Speculative bubble burst –Downward spiral until 2003

What Now? What we know –World is forever changed; IT will never return to the basement –Technology as core enabler, primary business channel –Global village is here to stay –Rigid organization boundaries have fallen What we need to do –Engage in sense-making of the transformation –Mine the last decade of business experimentation –Synthesize in order to choose a path forward
