    employment, health, and
    working conditions.
    Ethical Issue:

    Computer Crime
    Defined by Association of
    Information Technology
    Professionals (AITP) are the
    1. The unauthorized use, access,
    following:

    e-mail conversations and computer
    records, and collecting and sharing
    information about individuals
    gained from their visits to
    Internet websites and newsgroups
    ( violation of privacy).
    2. Always knowing where person is,

    associated with people rather than
    places (computer monitoring).

    additional business services
    (computer matching).

    Risk:
    2. System Failure… “what if the system
    fails”.
    3. Poor IS Performance
    4. End-User problem
    5. Security

    Christine Galindo, IT programmer of
    Dole Philippines
    Causes of Poor IS
    Performance:
     IT is not being used efficiently by
    companies that use IT primarily to
    computerize traditional business
    processes instead of using it for
    electronic commerce, Web-enabled
    decision support, and innovative e-
    business processes and products.
    • IT is not being used efficiently by
    information systems that provide poor
    response times & downtimes, or IS
    professionals & consultants who do not
    properly mange application
    development projects.
    Conclusion
    Information System offers great impact
    to the quality of every businesses
    today. It improves the performance of
    the people inside and outside the
    company. It will help them make work
    easier and more accurate and easily to
    understand.
