Information
Technology
Summary

Chapter
1
–
An
Introduction
to
Information
Systems
4-­‐11
and
12-­‐19

A
system
is
a
set
of
elements
or
components
that
interact
to
accomplish
goals.
The
elements

themselves
and
the
relationships
among
them
determine
how
the
system
works.


System
performance
can
be
measured
in
various
ways:

1.   Efficiency:
a
measure
of
what
is
produced
divided
by
what
is
consumed

2.   Effectiveness:
a
measure
of
the
extent
to
which
a
system
achieves
its
goals;
it
can
be

computed
by
dividing
the
goals
actually
achieved
by
the
total
of
the
stated
goals.


3.   System
performance
standard:
a
specific
objective
of
the
system.

Information
is
that
which
reduces
uncertainty,
a
collection
of
facts.

Unprocessed
facts
are
data,
processed
facts
are
information
(both
a
collection
of
facts
which
can

come
in
a
variety
of
formats).


An
information
system
is
a
set
of
interrelated
components
that
collect,
manipulate,
store
and

disseminate
information
and
provide
a
feedback
mechanism
to
meet
an
objective.


-­‐   Input
is
the
activity
of
gathering
and
capturing
data.

-­‐   Processing
means
converting
or
transforming
this
input
into
useful
outputs
(can
involve

making
calculations,
comparing
data,
and
taking
alternative
actions.
These
results
are
stored.

⇒   Storage
involves
keeping
data
and
information
available
for
future
use.

-­‐   Output
involves
producing
useful
information,
usually
in
the
form
of
documents
or
reports.


-­‐   Feedback
is
information
from
the
system
that
is
used
to
make
changes
to
input
or
processing

activities

⇒   Forecasting:
Predicting
future
events
to
avoid
problems.
This
can
be
used
to

estimate
future
sales
and
order
more
inventory
before
a
shortage
occurs.


Characteristics
Definitions

Accessible
Information
should
be
easily
accessible
by
authorized
users
so
they
van
obtain
it
in
the
right
format
and
at
the
right
time
to
meet

their
needs

Accurate
Accurate
information
is
error
free.
In
some
cases,
inaccurate
information
is
generated
because
inaccurate
data
is
fed
into
the

transformation
process

Complete
Complete
information
contains
all
the
important
facts,
but
not
more
facts
than
are
necessary

Economical

Information
should
also
be
relatively
economical
to
produce.
Decision
makers
must
always
balance
the
value
of
information
with
the

cost
of
producing
it

Flexible
Flexible
information
can
be
used
for
a
variety
of
purposes.
For
example,
information
on
how
much
inventory
is
on
hand
for
a

particular
part
can
be
used
by
a
sales
representative
in
closing
a
sale,
by
a
production
manager
to
determine
whether
more
inventory

is
needed,
and
by
a
financial
executive
to
determine
the
total
value
the
company
has
invested
in
inventory.

Relevant
Relevant
information
is
important
to
the
decision
maker

Reliable
Reliable
information
can
be
depended
on.
In
many
cases,
the
reliability
of
the
information
depends
on
the
reliability
of
the
data-­‐
collection
methods.
In
other
instances,
reliability
depends
on
the
source
of
the
information.
A
rumour
from
an
unknown
source
that

oil
prices
might
go
up
may
soon
not
be
reliable
(even
though
it
might
be
useful)

Secure
Information
should
be
secure
from
access
by
unauthorized
users

Simple
Information
should
be
simple,
not
overly
complex.
Sophisticated
and
detailed
information
might
not
be
needed.
In
fact,
too
much

information
can
cause
information
overload,
whereby
a
decision
maker
has
too
much
information
and
is
unable
to
determine
what
is

really
important.


Timely
Timely
information
is
delivered
when
it
is
needed.
Knowing
last
week’s
weather
conditions
will
not
help
when
trying
to
decide
what

coat
to
wear
today


Verifiable
Information
should
be
verifiable.
This
means
that
you
can
check
it
to
make
sure
it
is
correct,
perhaps
by
checking
many
sources
for

the
same
information.


A
computer-­‐based
information
system
(CBIS)
is
a
single
set
of
hardware,
software,
databases,

telecommunications,
people
and
procedures
that
is
configured
to
collect,
manipulate,
store
and

process
data
into
information.

Information
Systems
in
Organisations
34-­‐44
and
48-­‐54

An
organisation
is
a
formal
collection
of
people
and
other
resources
established
to
accomplish
a
set

of
goals.

The
value
chain
is
a
series
of
activities
that
includes
inbound
logistics,
warehouse
and
storage,

production,
finished
product
storage,
outbound
logistics,
marketing
and
sales,
and
customer
service.


A
traditional
view
of
information
systems
holds
that
organisations
use
them
to
control
and
monitor

processes
and
ensure
effectiveness
and
efficiency.


-­‐   Organisational
structure:
organisational
subunits
and
the
way
they
relate
to
the
overall

organisation

1.   Traditional
organisational
structure:
an
organisational
structure
similar
to
a
managerial

pyramid,
where
the
hierarchy
of
decision
making
and
authority
flows
from
strategic

management
at
the
top
down
to
operational
management
and
non-­‐management

employees.
Also
called
a
hierarchical
structure

⇒   Flat
organisational
structure:
an
organisational
structure
with
a
reduced
number
of

management
layers

⇒   Empowerment:
giving
employees
and
their
managers
more
responsibility
and
the

authority
to
make
decisions,
take
certain
actions
and
have
more
control
over
their

jobs.


2.   Project
and
Team
Organisational
Structures

organisational
structure:
a
structure
centred
on
major
products

⇒   Team
organisational
structure:
a
structure
centred
on
work
teams
or
groups

3.   Virtual
Organisational
Structure:
a
structure
that
employs
individuals,
groups
or

complete
business
units
in
geographically
dispersed
areas
that
can
last
for
a
few
weeks

or
years,
often
requiring
telecommunications
or
the
Internet.




-­‐   Organisational
change:
the
responses
that
are
necessary
so
that
for-­‐profit
and
non-­‐profit

organisations
can
plan
for,
implement,
and
handle
change.


-­‐   Outsourcing:
contracting
with
outside
professional
services
to
meet
specific
business
needs

-­‐   On-­‐demand
computing:

rapidly
respond
to
an

organisation’s
varying

process

reengineering’
(BPR).

redesign
