    An information system is a combination of hardware, software, data, people and processes that work together to provide information to users within an organization. The most important component for business success is people, as they implement processes and use technology to transform data into useful information. Daily, people interact with systems like those at grocery stores, workplaces and universities, which involve technologies, employees and standardized ways of handling information and tasks. While personal computers remain significant, many predict that business computing will increasingly involve mobile devices and cloud-based resources in the future.

    Individual task 1

    Subject “Business Information Systems”


    Topic “What Is an Information System?”

    Tasks:
    1. Suppose that you had to explain to a friend the concept of an information
    system. How would you define it? Write a one paragraph description in your own
    words that you feel would best describe an information system to your friends or
    family.
    2. Of the five primary components of an information system (hardware,
    software, data, people, process), which do you think is the most important to the
    success of a business organization? Write a one-paragraph answer to this question
    that includes an example from your personal experience to support your answer.
    3. Everyone interacts with various information systems every day: at the
    grocery store, at work, at university, even in our cars. Make a list of the different
    information systems you interact with daily. Can you identify the technologies,
    people, and processes involved in making these systems work.
    4. Do you agree that we are in a post-PC stage in the evolution of information
    systems? Do some original research and cite it as you make your prediction about
    what business computing will look like in the next generation.

    !!! Present your answers to tasks in a practical class with the use of prepared
    Power Point Presentation (PPT).
