LEARNING OUTCOMES1. Differentiate between Information Technology
and Information Systems
2. Describe the information age and the differences between data, information, business intelligence, and knowledge
3. Identify the different departments in a company and why they must work together to achieve success
4. Explain systems thinking

Information Technology Capital Investment
Information technology capital investment, defined as hardware, software, and communications equipment, grew from 32 percent to 52 percent of all invested capital between 1980 and 2009.

What Is Information Systems (IS)?
IT components = Hardware + Software + DataIS = IT + Procedures + People
Also, IS is a multidisciplinary field
7
IS vs. IT Avoid a common mistake: Cannot buy an IS Can buy, rent or lease hardware, software and
databases (IT) People execute procedures to employ new IT. Use of new system requires training,overcoming
employees’ resistance, and managing employees as they use new system.

The Interdependence Between Organizations and Information Technology
In contemporary systems there is a growing interdependence between a firm’s information systems and its business capabilities. Changes in strategy, rules, and business processes increasingly require changes in hardware, software, databases, and telecommunications. Often, what the organization would like to do depends on what its systems will permit it to do.

Information Systems Are More Than Computers
Using information systems effectively requires an understanding of the organization, management, and information technology shaping the systems. An information system creates value for the firm as an organizational and management solution to challenges posed by the environment.

COMPETING IN THE INFORMATION AGE
Examples of the power of business and technology
• Amazon – Not a technology company; primary business focus is selling books
• Netflix – Not a technology company; primary business focus is renting videos
• Zappos – Not a technology company; primary business focus is selling shoes

COMPETING IN THE INFORMATION AGE
The core drivers of the information age
• Data
• Information
• Business intelligence
• Knowledge

CHAPTER 1: INFORMATION IN BUSINESS SYSTEMS TODAY
Perspectives on Information Systems
Data and Information
Raw data from a supermarket checkout counter can be processed and organized to produce meaningful information, such as the total unit sales of dish detergent or the total sales revenue from dish detergent for a specific store or sales territory.
Figure 1.3

13
Data Data - Raw facts that describe the characteristics
of an event or object
14
Information Information - Data converted into a meaningful
and useful context
15
Business Intelligence
Business intelligence - Information collected from multiple sources such as suppliers, customers, competitors, partners, and industries that analyzes patterns, trends, and relationships for strategic decision making
16
Knowledge
Knowledge - Skills, experience, and expertise coupled with information and intelligence that creates a person’s intellectual resources
Knowledge worker – Individual valued for their ability to interpret and analyze information
17
THE CHALLENGE: DEPARTMENTAL COMPANIES
Common Departments Working Independently

THE SOLUTION: MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
21
THE SOLUTION: MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Systems thinking – A way of monitoring the entire system by viewing multiple inputs being processed or transformed to produce outputs while continuously gathering feedback on each part
22Management Information SystemsManagement Information Systems
• Three activities of information systems produce information organizations need1. Input: Captures raw data from organization or external
environment2. Processing: Converts raw data into meaningful form3. Output: Transfers processed information to people or
activities that use it
Feedback: – Output returned to appropriate members of
organization to help evaluate or correct input stage
22
23
THE SOLUTION: MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Management Information Systems (MIS) – A business function, like accounting and human resources, which moves information about people, products, and processes across the company to facilitate decision-making and problem-solving
Chief information officer (CIO) (IT Manager)– Oversees all uses of IT and ensures the strategic alignment of IT with business goals and objectives

IDENTIFYING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Competitive advantage – A product or service that an organization’s customers place a greater value on than similar offerings from a competitor
First-mover advantage – Occurs when an organization can significantly impact its market share by being first to market with a competitive advantage
31
IDENTIFYING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Competitive intelligence – The process of gathering information about the competitive environment to improve the company’s ability to succeed
Competitive intelligence tools• Porter’s Five Forces Model• Porter’s Three Generic Strategies• Porter’s Value Chain Analysis

THE FIVE FORCES MODEL – EVALUATING INDUSTRY ATTRACTIVENESS
Porter’s Five Forces Model
33
Buyer Power
Buyer power – The ability of buyers to affect the price of an item• Switching cost – Manipulating costs
that make customers reluctant to switch to another product
• Loyalty program – Rewards customers based on the amount of business they do with a particular organization
34
Supplier Power Supplier power – The suppliers’ ability to
influence the prices they charge for supplies
• Supply chain – Consists of all parties involved in the procurement of a product or raw material
35
Threat of Substitute Products or Services
Threat of substitute products or services – High when there are many alternatives to a product or service and low when there are few alternatives
36
Threat of New Entrants
Threat of new entrants – High when it is easy for new competitors to enter a market and low when there are significant entry barriers
• Entry barrier – A feature of a product or service that customers have come to expect and entering competitors must offer the same for survival
37
Rivalry Among Existing Competitors
Rivalry among existing competitors – High when competition is fierce in a market and low when competitors are more complacent
• Product differentiation – Occurs when a company develops unique differences in its products or services with the intent to influence demand
38
Exercise: Analyzing the Airline Industry
Perform a Porter’s Five Forces analysis of each of the following for a company entering the commercial airline industry
• Buyer power
• Supplier power
• Threat of substitute products/services
• Threat of new entrants
• Rivalry among competitors
39

Threat of New EntrantsLow: Very hard to start an airline due to FCC regulations
and large capital investments
Threat of Substitute Products or Services
