Information systems (IS) play a critical role in today's business world by enabling organizations to effectively and
efficiently manage their operations, support decision-making processes, and gain a competitive advantage in the
marketplace.
Some common types of information systems used in business include:
1. Enterprise Resource Planning Systems: These systems integrate all aspects of an organization's operations,
such as finance, accounting, human resources, inventory management, and customer relationship management
(CRM), into a single, unified system.
2. Customer Relationship Management Systems: These systems are designed to manage an organization's
interactions with its customers and help improve customer satisfaction and retention.
3. Business Intelligence (BI) Systems: These systems provide organizations with tools and techniques to analyze
their data and gain insights into their operations, customers, and market trends.
4. Supply Chain Management Systems: These systems help manage the flow of goods, services, and information
from suppliers to customers, including procurement, inventory management, and logistics.
5. Knowledge Management (KM) Systems: These systems help organizations capture, store, and share
knowledge and expertise across the organization to improve decision-making and innovation.
Effective implementation and management of information systems can help businesses achieve greater efficiency,
productivity, and profitability. However, implementing and managing these systems requires careful planning, investment,
and ongoing maintenance and support.

An Information System (IS) 1can be any organized combination of people, hardware,


software, communications networks, data resources, and policies and procedures that stores,
retrieves, transforms, and disseminates information in an organization. People rely on modern
information systems to communicate with one another using a variety of physical devices
(hardware) , information processing instructions and procedures (software) , communications
channels (networks) , and stored data (data resources). Although today’s information
systems are typically thought of as having something to do with computers, we have been
using information systems since the dawn of civilization. Even today we make regular use of
information systems that have nothing to do with a computer.

Although there are a seemingly endless number of software applications, there are three fundamental reasons for
all business applications of information technology. They are found in the three vital roles that information systems
can perform for a business enterprise:
(1) Support of business processes and operations.
(2) Support of decision making by employees and managers.
(3) Support of strategies for competitive advantage.

At any moment, information systems designed to support business processes and operations may also be providing
data to, or accepting data from, systems focused on business decision making or achieving competitive advantage.
The same is true for the other two fundamental roles of IS. Today’s organizations are constantly striving to achieve
integration of their systems to allow information to flow freely through them, which adds even greater flexibility and
business support than any of the individual system roles could provide.

The Internet and related technologies and applications have changed the ways businesses
operate and people work, as well as how information systems support business processes,
decision making, and competitive advantage.

Thus, many businesses today are using Internet technologies to Web-enable their business
processes and create innovative e-business applications.
E-business as the use of Internet technologies to work and empower business processes, e-
commerce, and enterprise collaboration within a company and with its customers, suppliers,
and other business stakeholders. In essence, e-business can be more generally considered an
online exchange of value . Any online exchange of information, money, resources, services, or
any combination thereof falls under the e-business umbrella.

The Internet and Internet-like networks


 those inside the enterprise (intranet) and between an enterprise and its trading
partners (extranet)
 have become the primary information technology infrastructure that supports the e-
business applications of many companies.
These companies rely on e-business applications to
(1) reengineer internal business processes,
(2) implement e-commerce systems with their customers and suppliers, and
(3) promote enterprise collaboration among business teams and workgroups.

01.1.06 Enterprise collaboration systems involve the use of software tools to support communication,
Enterprise coordination, and collaboration among the members of networked teams and workgroups. A
collaboration business may use intranets, the Internet, extranets, and other networks to implement such
systems systems.

For example, employees and external consultants may form a virtual team that uses a corporate
intranet and the Internet for e-mail, videoconferencing, e-discussion groups, and Web pages of
work-in-progress information to collaborate on business projects.

01.1.07: eCommerce is the buying, selling, marketing, and servicing of products, services, and
eCommerce information over a variety of computer networks. Many businesses now use the Internet,
intranets, extranets, and other networks to support every step of the commercial process,
including everything from advertising, sales, and customer support on the World Wide Web to
Internet security and payment mechanisms that ensure completion of delivery and payment
processes.
For example, e-commerce systems include Internet Web sites for online sales, extranet access to
inventory databases by large customers, and the use of corporate intranets by sales reps to access
customer records for customer relationship management.
01.1.08:  Operations and management classifications of information systems.
Types of  Note how this conceptual overview emphasizes the main purposes of information systems
Information that support business operations and managerial decision making.
Systems  The applications of information systems that are implemented in today’s business world can
be classified in several different ways.
For example, several types of information systems can be classified as either operations or
management information systems.
 Information systems are categorized this way to spotlight the major roles each plays in the
operations and management of a business.

01.1.09 Information systems have always been needed to process data generated by, and used in,
Operations business operations. Such operations support systems produce a variety of information
Support products for internal and external use; however, they do not emphasize the specific information
Systems products that can best be used by managers.
Further processing by management information systems is usually required. The role of a
business firm’s operations support systems is to process business transactions, control industrial
processes, support enterprise communications and collaborations, and update corporate
databases efficiently.
A summary of operations support systems with examples

01.1.10: Transaction processing systems are important examples of operations support systems that
Transaction record and process the data resulting from business transactions. They process transactions in two
processing basic ways. In batch processing , transactions data are accumulated over a period of time and
systems processed periodically. In real-time (or online ) processing, data are processed immediately after
a transaction occurs.

For example, point-of-sale (POS) systems at many retail stores use electronic cash register
terminals to capture and transmit sales data electronically over telecommunications links to
regional computer centers for immediate (real-time) or nightly (batch) processing. Accounting
software that automates accounting transaction processing.
01.1.11 Process control systems monitor and control physical processes.
Process For example, a petroleum refinery uses electronic sensors linked to computers to monitor chemical
control processes continually and make instant (real-time) adjustments that control the refinery process.
systems Enterprise collaboration systems enhance team and workgroup communications and productivity
and include applications that are sometimes called office automation systems .

For example, knowledge workers in a project team may use e-mail to send and receive e-messages
or use videoconferencing to hold electronic meetings to coordinate their activities

01.1.12 When information system applications focus on providing information and support for effective decision
Manage- making by managers, they are called management support systems. Providing information and support
ment for decision making by all types of managers and business professionals is a complex task. Conceptually,
Support several major types of information systems support a variety of decision-making responsibilities:
Systems (1) management information systems (MIS),
(2) decision support systems (DSS), and
(3) executive information systems(EIS).

A summary of management support systems with examples

01.1.13 Management information systems (MIS) provide information in the form of reports and
Management displays to managers and many business professionals.
information For example, sales managers may use their networked computers and Web browsers to receive
systems instantaneous displays about the sales results of their products and access their corporate intranet
(MIS) for daily sales analysis reports that evaluate sales made by each salesperson.

Decision support systems (DSS) give direct computer support to managers during the
decision-making process.
For example, an advertising manager
may use a DSS to perform a what-if
analysis as part of the decision to
determine how to spend advertising
dollars/ taka. A production manager
may use a DSS to decide how much
product to manufacture, based on the
expected sales associated with a future
promotion and the location and
availability of the raw materials
necessary to manufacture the product.

Executive information systems (EIS) provide critical information from a wide variety of internal
and external sources in easy-to-use displays to executives and managers.
For example, top executives may use touch-screen terminals to view instantly text and graphics
displays that highlight key areas of organizational and competitive performance.

01.1.14
A summary of
other
categories of
information
systems with
examples.

01.1.15  Success in today’s dynamic business environment depends heavily on maximizing the
Managerial use of Internet-based technologies and Web-enabled information systems to meet the
Challenges of competitive requirements of customers, suppliers, and other business partners in a
Information global marketplace.
Technology
 Information systems and their technologies must be managed to support the business
strategies, business processes, and organizational structures and culture of a business
enterprise.
 That is because computer-based information systems, though heavily dependent on
information technologies, are designed, operated, and used by people in a variety of
organizational settings and business environments.
 The goal of many companies today is to maximize their customer and business value by
using information technology to help their employees implement cooperative business
processes with customers, suppliers, and others.

Few chalanges are:


1) Managing cash flow
2) Employee buy-in and fostering an open work Environment
3) Choosing partners and strategic alliances
4) Finding the right employees
5) Departure of employees with critical knowledge or proprietary information
6) The internet and e-commerce, etc.

It is important to realize, however, that information technology and information systems can
be mismanaged and misapplied in such a way that IS performance problems create both
technological and business failures.

01.1.18 Developing successful information system solutions to business problems is a major

computer-based information systems are conceived, designed, and implemented using some
form of systematic development process.

Developing
information systems
solutions to business
problems can be
implemented and

multistep process or
cycle.

Several major activities must be accomplished and managed in a complete IS


development cycle. In this development process, end users and information specialists
design information system applications on the basis of an analysis of the business
requirements of an organization.

Examples of other activities include investigating the economic or technical feasibility of a


proposed application, acquiring and learning how to use any software necessary to
implement the new system, and making improvements to maintain the business value of a
system.
A company changed its development practices to deliver the right functionality to users and
become more responsive to their needs. This example emphasizes the importance of tailoring
systems development practices to the needs of a business.

01.1.19 As a prospective manager, business professional, or knowledge worker, you will be

What does it take to be a responsible end user of information technology?
How can you protect yourself from computer crime and other risks of information
technology?
These are some of the questions that outline the ethical dimensions of information systems.
Some of the ethical risks that may arise in the use of several major applications of information
technology. The following example illustrates some of the security challenges associated with
conducting business over the Internet.
