Chapter 1 Information Systems in Global Business Today
• Information system:
– Set of interrelated components

• Information vs. data
– Data are streams of raw facts.

Interdependence between organization and Information Technology:

need a significant investment in IT. Going the other direction (from right to left), having a
significant IT platform can lead to changes in business objectives and strategies. Emphasize
the two-way nature of this relationship. Businesses rely on information systems to help
them achieve their goals; a business without adequate information systems will inevitably
fall short. But information systems are also products of the businesses that use them.
Businesses shape their information systems and information systems shape businesses.
