Information Technology’s Impact on
Business Operations
![Page 5: Chapter 1 Business Driven Technology MANGT 366 Information Technology for Business Chapter 1: Management Information Systems: Business Driven MIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649edb5503460f94beac1b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• For a long time, the different parts of a business were organized by independent functional areas or functional silos: everyone thought that what happened in one part of the business was totally independent from other areas of the business.
![Page 6: Chapter 1 Business Driven Technology MANGT 366 Information Technology for Business Chapter 1: Management Information Systems: Business Driven MIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649edb5503460f94beac1b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
While you might think that each of the different areas of a business are independent, they are actually interdependent because they require information from around the organization in order to operate. They do not exist in isolation.

Information Technology (IT) enables business success
• In order to be successful in business, you must understand how to use information technology to be innovative.– Using IT and/or spending lots of money on IT will not equal
business success.
• IT is used to leverage the talents of people– IT by itself does not get the job done.– IT is only useful if the right people know how to use it and
manage it effectively.
• IT is a TOOL (and if you don’t know how to use the tool, then you won’t be successful)
![Page 8: Chapter 1 Business Driven Technology MANGT 366 Information Technology for Business Chapter 1: Management Information Systems: Business Driven MIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649edb5503460f94beac1b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The function of the IT department is to get people, technologies and procedures to work together to solve business problems.
• In order for this to happen, it is important to understand– Data, information and business intelligence– IT resources
• Information technology is EVERYWHERE in business and if you want to be successful in business, you need to understand technology.

Data• Raw facts that describe the characteristic of an event • Data recording sales events in an Excel Spreadsheet
Without analyzing the data, it is just a bunch of names and numbers.
![Page 10: Chapter 1 Business Driven Technology MANGT 366 Information Technology for Business Chapter 1: Management Information Systems: Business Driven MIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649edb5503460f94beac1b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Information• Data converted into a meaningful and useful context is
information• Data turned into information
One person’s information might be another person’s data (store manager vs CEO)
![Page 11: Chapter 1 Business Driven Technology MANGT 366 Information Technology for Business Chapter 1: Management Information Systems: Business Driven MIS](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102719/56649edb5503460f94beac1b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
You can analyze that data even further by running queries to gain deeper insights
Pivot tables help us gain a better understanding of our data and information: primary business analysis tool
