Information technology refers to the collection of tools and
technologies that make it easy for individuals, businesses and other
organizations to use, create, manage and exchange information. New developments
in information technology have fundamentally transformed the way in which
business is carried out. The increasing power and falling costs of computers
have made information storage, analysis and distribution faster, easier and less
expensive than at any time before in human history.
The Internet has removed geographical barriers, making it possible for companies
to source material from one country, process it in another country, package it
in yet another country and sell the final product globally. Consumers have
information on products and services at their fingertips; they can compare
different products, services or manufacturers to choose the best or the cheapest
option. The Internet is now the most significant medium of entertainment,
communication and commerce for many people. Consequently, electronic commerce is
fast becoming an important component of the world economy.
Given the importance of information technology for businesses, managers need to
understand the concepts and upgrade their knowledge in the field.
Information Technology and Systems examines issues in information
technology and discusses how managers can use its power to remain competitive in
this era of globalization.
