Document Summary

Like barcode that could be used to find stock. Each element must be preset and all the elements must work together. Information systems (is) = it plus procedures and people that produce and utilize information. Information technology would be google analytics while system is the number of clicks. Information technology (it) = hardware+ software+ data, including. Buy or lease hardware, license programs and databases even obtain predesigned procedures. Ultimately people execute those procedures to employ that new it. Any new system requires training tasks, overcoming employees resistance to change and managing employees as they utilize a new system. Support decision making, coordination and control collect, process, store and distribute information. Information is data shaped into a meaningful form. Ex: raw data from supermarket checkout can produce meaningful information that can be used to tell how much of a product they could supply to a store. Input: captures raw data from an organization or external environment.
