An information system is a set of interrelated components that work together to collect, process, store, and disseminate information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis, and visualization in an organization. List and describe the organizational, management, and technology dimensions of information systems. Distinguish between data and information and between information systems literacy and computer literacy. It includes a behavioural as well as a technical approach to studying information systems.
It is limited to understanding how computer hardware and software works. Explain how the Internet and the World Wide Web are related to the other technology components of information systems.
The Internet and World Wide Web have had a tremendous impact on the role information systems play in organizations.
These two tools are responsible for the increased connectivity and collaboration within and outside the organization. The Internet, World Wide Web, and other technologies have led to the redesign and reshaping of organizations. Complementary assets are those assets required to derive value from a primary investment.
Firms must rely on supportive values, structures, and behaviour patterns to obtain a greater value from their IT investments.
Value must be added through complementary assets such as new business processes, management behaviour, organizational culture, and training. Describe the complementary social, managerial, and organizational assets required to optimize returns from information technology investments.
Table lists the complementary social, managerial, and organization assets required to optimize returns from information technology investments. What is a sociotechnical systems perspective? List and describe each discipline that contributes to a technical approach to information systems. A technical approach to information systems emphasizes mathematically-based models to study information systems and the physical technology and formal capabilities of information systems.
Students should know the differences between computer science theories of computability, computation methods, and data storage and access methods , management science development of models for decision making and managerial practice , and operations research mathematical techniques for optimizing organizational parameters such as transportation, inventory control and transaction costs. A behavioural approach to information systems focuses on questions such as strategic business integration, behavioural problems of systems utilization, system design and implementation, social and organizational impacts of information systems, political impacts of information systems, and individual responses to information systems.
Solutions to problems created by information technology are primarily changes in attitudes, management, organizational policy, and behaviour. Describe the sociotechnical perspective on information systems. A sociotechnical perspective combines the technical approach and behaviour approach to achieve optimal organizational performance.
Technology must be changed and designed to fit organizational and individual needs and not the other way around. Organizations and individuals must also change through training, learning, and allowing technology to operate and prosper. Discussion Questions 1. Information systems are too important to be left to computer specialists.
Do you agree? Why or why not? Although student answers will vary, this is a good place to reiterate that information systems are more than just technology. Information systems development and usage involves organization, management, and technology dimensions.
It is important to understand who will use the information systems and how the information systems will be used to facilitate decision making and control within the organization. Computer specialists understand the technology and definitely play an important role within the development and maintenance of information systems.
Computer specialists have an in-depth technology background, but may not be well versed in the business or its operations.
This is why computer specialists should function as part of a team, and this team should have the hybrid strength of many different skills and personalities. The team should definitely understand the business, the business requirements, and the goals for the information systems. If you were setting up the Web site for an organization, what management, organization, and technology issues might you encounter? What are some of the organizational, managerial, and social complementary assets that help make UPS's information systems so successful?
Table provides a list of complementary social, managerial, and organizational assets required to optimize returns from information technology investments. Then use the tools at Google Sites to create a Web site for your team. You will need to create a Google account for the site and specify the collaborators your team members who are allowed to access the site and make contributions. Specify your professor as the viewer of the site so that person can evaluate your work. Assign a name to the site.
Select a theme for the site and make any changes you wish to colours and fonts. Add features for project announcements and a repository for team documents, source materials, illustrations, electronic presentations, and Web pages of interest. You can add other features if you wish. Use Google to create a calendar for your team. After you complete this exercise, you can use this Web site and calendar for your other team projects.
How do smart grids differ from the current electricity infrastructure in Canada? Current electricity grids do not provide any information about how consumers actually use energy. That makes it difficult to develop more efficient approaches to distribution. Without useful information, energy companies and consumers have difficulty making good decisions about using energy wisely.
What management, organization, and technology issues should be considered when developing a smart grid? That would allow them to make better decisions about using appliances like air conditioners and furnaces. They could potentially lower their energy bills. However, governments and energy companies need to help consumers overcome the intrusive feelings associated with the technology. Dashboard monitoring software must be easy for consumers to understand and use. Organizations: There are many disincentives for energy companies associated with smart grids.
Operating budgets and profits would be severely impacted if consumers greatly reduced their energy consumption. Implementation costs would be extremely high, even with federal government assistance. Consumer backlash is already evident in the few experimental cases to date. Without properly structuring the implementation, that backlash could grow against the energy companies. Technology: Networks and switches for power management, sensor and monitoring devices to track energy usage and distribution trends; systems to provide energy suppliers and consumers with usage data, communications systems to relay data along the entire energy supply system, and systems linked to programmable appliances to run them when energy is least costly, are all expensive and time-consuming to retrofit into all the homes across the nation.
