Introduction to Information Systems
Introduction
Before we proceed, we need to define information
technology and information systems. Information
technology (IT) refers to any computer-based tool
that people use to work with information and to
support an organization’s information and
information-processing needs. An information
system (IS) collects, processes, stores, analyzes,
and disseminates information for a specific purpose.
IT has far-reaching effects on individuals,
organizations, and our planet. Although this text is
largely devoted to the many ways in which IT is
transforming modern organizations, you will also
learn about the significant impacts of IT on
individuals and societies, the global economy, and
our physical environment. In addition, IT is making
our world smaller, enabling more and more people
to communicate, collaborate, and compete, thereby
levelling the competitive playing field. This text
focuses on the successful applications of IT in
organizations; that is, how organizations can use IT
to solve business problems and achieve a
competitive advantage in the marketplace. However,
not all business problems can be solved with IT.
Therefore, you must continue to develop your
business skills! When you graduate, either you will
start your own business or you will work for an
organization, whether it is public sector, private
sector, for-profit, or not-for-profit. Your organization
will have to survive and compete in an environment
that has been radically transformed by information
technology. This environment is global, massively
interconnected, intensely competitive, 24/7/365,
real-time, rapidly changing, and information-
intensive. To compete successfully, your
organization must use IT effectively.
