Define information system ?

A set of interrelated components that collect, process,


store, and disseminate data and information
Define information technology?

the study or use of technology for storing,


retrieving, and sending information
discuss why it is important to study
information system ?

an information system provides a feedback


mechanism to monitor and control its operation to
make sure it continues to meet its goals and
objectives
Describe characteristic of value information system ?
Accessible
Information should be easily accessible by authorized users so
they can obtain it in the right format and at the right time to
meet their needs.
Accurate
Accurate information is error free. In some cases, inaccurate
information is generated because inaccurate data is fed into the
transformation process. This is commonly called garbage in,
garbage out.
Complete
Complete information contains all the important facts. For
example, an investment report that does not include all
important costs is not complete.
Economical
Information should also be relatively economical to produce.
Decision makers must always balance the value of information
with the cost of producing it.
Flexible
Flexible information can be used for a variety of purposes. For
example, information on how much inventory is on hand for a
particular part can be used by a sales representative in closing
a sale, by a production manager to determine whether more
inventory is needed, and by a financial executive to determine
the amount of money the company has invested in inventory.
Relevant
Relevant information is important to the decision maker.
Information showing that lumber prices might drop is probably
not relevant to a computer chip manufacturer.
Reliable
Reliable information can be trusted by users. In many cases,
the reliability of the information depends on the reliability of the data-
collection method. In other instances, reliability depends on the source of the
information. A rumor from an unknown source that oil prices might go up may
not be reliable.
Secure
Information should be secure from access by unauthorized users.
Simple
Information should be simple, not complex. Sophisticated and
detailed information might not be needed. In fact, too much
information can cause information overload, whereby a decision
maker has too much information and is unable to determine what is really
important.
Timely
Timely information is delivered when it is needed. Knowing
last week’s weather conditions will not help when trying to
decide what coat to wear today.
Verifiable
Information should be verifiable. This means that you can
check it to make sure it is correct, perhaps by checking many
sources for the same information.

identify classification of information system based on
their usage and users ?

information systems into three types:


personal IS
includes information systems that improve the productivity
of individual users in performing stand-alone tasks. Examples
productivity software, such as word-processing, presentation, and
spreadsheet software.
In today’s fast-moving, global work environment, success depends on
our ability to communicate and collaborate with others, including
colleagues, and customers.
Group IS
includes information systems that improve
communications and support collaboration among members of a workgroup.
Examples include Web conferencing software, wikis, and electronic corporate
directories.
Enterprise IS
includes information systems that organizations use to
define structured interactions among their own employees and/or with
external customers, suppliers, government agencies, and other business part
organizational complements must be in place to ensure successful
implementation and use of the system.
● Well-trained workers. Employees must be well trained and understand
the need for the new system, what their role is in using or operating the
system, and how to get the results they need from the system.
● System support. Trained and experienced users who can show others
how to gain value from the system and overcome start-up problems.
● Better teamwork. Employees must understand and be motivated to work
together to achieve the anticipated benefits of the system.
● Redesigned processes. New systems often require radical redesign of
existing work processes as well as the automation of new processes.
● New decision rights. Employees must understand and accept their new
roles and responsibilities including who is responsible for making what
decisions. Roles and responsibilities often change with introduction of a
new system.
