Chapter 1

 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, BlackBerrys, 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.

 In the technology area there are three interrelated changes:  The emerging mobile digital platform ( think iPhones, BB, and tiny Web-surfing netbooks)  The growth of online software as a service  The growth in “cloud computing” where more and more business software runs over the Internet.

ChangeImpact Cloud computing platform emerges as a major business area of innovation A flexible collection of computers on the Internet begins to perform tasks. Growth in software as a serviceMajor business applications are now delivered online A mobile digital platform emerges to compete with the PC as a business system Apple opens its iPhone software to developers, and then opens an applications store on iTunes where business users can download hundreds of applications. Managers adopt online collaboration and social networking software to improve coordination, collaboration and knowledge sharing Google Apps, Google Sites, Microsoft’s Windows Sharepoint Services

ChangeImpact Virtual meetings proliferateManagers adopt telepresence video conferencing and Web conferencing Web 2.0 applications are widely adopted by firms Web based services enable employees to interact as online communities using blogs etc Telework gains momentum in the workplace The internet, woreless laptops, iPhones and BlackBerrys make it possible for growing numbers of people to work away from the traditional office. Outsourcing productionFirms learn to use the new technologies to outsource production work to low wage countries.

 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  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-ITeS,” says the industry is expected to create about 11 million jobs by 2010, and employment in information systems and the other service occupations listed above, has expanded in sheer numbers, wages, productivity and quality of work

 A good discussion of six important business objectives, why businesses have become so dependant on information systems today and the importance of these systems for the survival of a firm: Operational excellence, new product and business models and Competitive Advantage Survival.

That’s simple: everything.  The emergence of the Internet into a full blown international communications system has drastically reduced the costs of operating and transacting on a global scale.

 Digital Firm: All of the organization’s significant business relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees are digitally enabled and mediated.  Business processes: It refers to the set of logically related tasks and behaviors that organizations develop over time to produce specific business results and the unique manner in which these activities are organized and coordinated.

In the emerging fully digital firm:  Significant business relationships are digitally enabled and mediated  Core business processes are accomplished through digital networks  Key corporate assets are managed digitally  Digital firms offer greater flexibility in organization and management  Time shifting (24/7), space shifting (eBay, General Motors)

 Operational Excellence  New Products, Services, and Business Models  Customer and Supplier Intimacy  Improved decision making  Competitive Advantage  Survival

 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.

 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.

Technology Management Organizations

 Senior management makes long term strategic decisions about products and services as well as ensures financial performance of the firm  Middle management carries out the programs and plans of their seniors  Operating management is responsible for daily activities of a business

 Management Management’s job is to make sense out of the many situations faced by organizations, make decisions, and formulate action plans to solve organization problems  Technology Computer Hardware Computer Software Data Management Technology Networking and telecommunications technology

 Network: It links two or more computers to share data or resources, such as a printer  Internet: It is the world’s most widely used network  Intranets: Internal corporate networks based on Internet technology. Private intranets extended to authorized users outside the organization are called extranets  WWW: Provided by the Internet that uses universally accepted standards of storing, retrieving, formatting, and displaying information in a page format on the net.

MIS Computer Science Operations Research Sociology Economics Psychology Management Science

 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 economics

 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 other

 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.
