1.1 Nowadays the business is changing, businesses spend more money on information technology.
Information technology capital investment (hardware, software and communications
equipment) is growing. Because you can do almost everything online nowadays, businesses are
seeking for ways to respond faster to customer demands, reduce inventories and achieve higher
levels of operational efficiency. Also are businesses starting to use social networking tools to
connect their employees, customers and managers worldwide. So despite the economic crisis, e-
commerce and internet advertising expands.
The continual change in technology, management use of the technology and the impact on
business success is what makes MIS interesting at the moment. There are three interrelated
changes in the technology area.
1. The emerging mobile digital platform,
2. The growing business use of big “data”
3. The growth in “cloud computing”, where more and more business software runs over
the internet.
