 1. Introduction to Information Systems

• In 1959, Peter Drucker predicted that information and

information technology (IT) would become
increasingly important, and at that point, over half a
century ago, he coined the term knowledge worker.
Knowledge workers are
typically professionals
who are relatively well
educated and who
create, modify, and/or
synthesize knowledge as
a fundamental part of
their jobs. www.azquotes.com
 1. Introduction to Information
Systems

Drucker also
predicted that, with
the growth in the
number of
knowledge workers
and with the rise in
importance and
leadership, a
knowledge society
would emerge.
 1. Introduction to Information
Systems

• There are many alternatives to the term “knowledge

society”. Others have referred to this phenomenon as
the knowledge economy, new economy, the digital
society, the network era, the Internet era, and other
names.
• We simply refer to this as DIGITAL WORLD

 1. Introduction to Information
Systems

Information System (IS) collects,

processes, stores, analyzes, and
disseminates information for a
specific purpose.

Information Technology (IT) refers to

any computer-based tool that people
use to work with information and to
support the information and
information-processing needs of an
Innov8tiv
organization.

The Five IT Megatrends

2. Five IT Megatrends in the
Information Age

Five IT Megatrends in the

Information Age: Mobile
Computing

• Many believe that we’re living

in a post-PC era
• In the developing world
mobile devices often leapfrog
traditional PCs
• Implications:
– Increased collaboration
– The ability to manage
business in real time
– New ways to reach
customers
2. Five IT Megatrends in the

Media

• Over 1.28 billion (and growing)

Facebook users share status
updates or pictures with friends
and family
• Organizations use social media
to encourage employee
collaboration or to connect with
their customers
2. Five IT Megatrends in the
Information Age

Five IT Megatrends in the

Information Age: Internet
of Things

• Devices have embedded

computers and sensors,
enabling connectivity over the
Internet
• By 2008, more devices were
connected to the Internet than
people living on earth
• The Internet of everything?
2. Five IT Megatrends in the Information
Age

Five IT Megatrends in the

Information Age: Cloud
Computing

• Web technologies enable using

the Internet as the platform for
applications and data
• Many regard cloud computing
as the beginning of the “fourth
wave”
• Applications that used to be
installed on individual
computers are increasingly kept
in the cloud
– e.g., Gmail, Google Docs,
Google Calendar
 2. Five IT Megatrends in the

Five IT Megatrends in the

Information Age: Big Data

• IDC estimated that in 2011, 1.8

zettabytes of data were
generated and consumed
• How much is 1.8 zettabytes? It
is 1.8 trillion gigabytes, or the
equivalent of 57 billion 32GB
iPads (IDC, 2011)
• This number is forecast to grow
Companies in the Information Age economy by 50 times by 2020
are creating value not from people, but from
data.
3. Overview of Computer-Based Information
Systems

Data Items: an elementary description of

things, events, activities, and transactions that
are recorded, classified, and stored but are not
organized to convey any specific meaning.

Information: refers to
data that have been
organized so that they
have meaning and value
to the recipient.

Knowledge: consists of data and/or information that

have been organized and processed to convey
understanding, experience, accumulated learning, and
expertise as they apply to a current business problem.
