This document provides an overview of why the Introduction to MIS (Management Information Systems) course is important for business students. It discusses how technological changes like Moore's Law, Metcalfe's Law, and others are fundamentally changing businesses and driving corporate profitability. It argues that future business professionals need to be able to assess, evaluate, and apply emerging information technologies to business. The document explains how technological changes can disrupt even large, successful companies if they do not adapt. It emphasizes that the only real job security is having marketable skills, like abstract reasoning, systems thinking, collaboration and experimentation, that this course aims to develop in students.

Overcoming The Biggest Barriers To Cloud Computing?Bernard Marr
During the current coronavirus pandemic, cloud computing is playing an increasingly prominent part in many of our lives. From how we stay entertained, to socialising with friends and doing business, it’s fair to say that when things eventually return to normal many people will have a far greater appreciation of cloud and the way it empowers us to work, play and do business differently.

GT Briefing March 2012 Technologies Reshaping Our WorldTracey Keys
Technology is changing the way we live and work at exponential rates. Ponder this for a moment: your parents have lived through the entire development of the computing era while many five year olds have no concept of a world without technology – it is simply part of their lives. This month, we’d decided to look ahead – a long way ahead in some cases – at radical and innovative technologies that will potentially reshape our world in the decades to come. In today’s world, it’s easy to get swamped by short-term thinking and firefighting but we don’t like to encourage it…
From developments that allow us to overcome the resource challenges presented by population growth to advances that will reshape the production of goods and services, our environment and our humanity, technology will challenge us to rethink every aspect of what we do and how we do it. While some of the breakthroughs will be exciting and easy to embrace, others will challenge vested interests and the status quo. Our comfort zones will be disrupted. But, like it or not, these changes will come – sooner than we think in some cases. What is your organization doing to get ready? What will be the impact on your customers and consumers? What are YOU doing?

This is an essay I wrote for my final project in LIB-686 - Emerging Information Technology in the MSEd Information Technology program at Western Oregon University. The paper imagines how the world might look in the wake of advanced AI, IoT and AR/VR technology.
Cloud Computing Stats - The Internet of ThingsRapidScale
The Internet of Things (IoT) is all about connecting devices and objects through the Internet. It’s a giant network of connected “things,” including people, creating relationships between people-to-people, people-to-things, and things-to-things.
Here are some statistics about the Internet of Things.
Organisations that embrace the move towards personalised technology can create more opportunities for collaboration and find new ways to grow the business.
During the next few years, says GE Digital's leader Bill Ruh, the Industrial Internet will turn every company into a digitally empowered enterprise. Ruh sees himself as a productivity activist -- building the software and hardware platforms that will take society into a new, prosperous stage of development.
It is no exaggeration to say that software is fundamentally changing the way that we as individuals interact with each other, companies and governments. When famed venture capitalist Marc Andreessen wrote that “software is eating the world”, he used a number of different examples of how software is disrupting traditional industries.
Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people's behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered.

This is changing people's behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered. The hierarchical structure of these established companies assumes high coordination cost due to human activity. But when the coordination cost drops
The organisational structure that companies in the 20th century established was based on the fact that employees needed to do all the work. The coordination cost was high due to the effort and cost of employees, housing etc. Now we have software that can do this for use and the coordination cost drops to close-to-zero. Another thing is that things become free. Consider Flickr. Anybody can sign up and use the service for free. Only a fraction of the users get pro account and pay. How can Flickr make money on that? It turns out that services like this can.
Many businesses make money by giving things away. How can that possibly work? The music business has suffered severely with digital distribution of content. Should musicians put all their songs on YouTube? What is the future business model for music?

Chapter : 6
6.1 Changes, Fears, and Questions
Computers free us from the repetitious, boring aspects of jobs so that we can spend more time being creative and doing the tasks that require human intelligence. Computer systems and the Internet provide quick, reliable access to information so that we work smarter and more efficiently. But people still do the work. Nurses care for the elderly, and construction workers build buildings. Architects use computer-aided design systems, but they still design buildings. Accountants use spreadsheets and thus have more time for thinking, planning, and analysis. But will computers design buildings? Will audits be automated?
The introduction of computers into the workplace generated many fears. Many social critics, social scientists, politicians, unions, and activists saw virtually all potential effects of computers on work as highly threatening. They foresaw mass unemployment due to increased efficiency. (Some argued, at first, that money spent on computers was a waste because computers decreasedefficiency.) They argued that requiring workers to acquire computer skills was too heavy a burden, and that the need for increased technical training and skills would widen the earning gap between those who obtain the new skills and those who do not. They saw telecommuting as bad for workers and society. They expected offshoring (hiring people or companies in other countries to perform services that workers in one’s home country used to do) to eliminate a huge number of jobs.
Although the dire predictions were wrong, the many and widespread rapid changes raise significant social questions. How do we deal with the dislocations and retraining needs that result when computing technology and the Internet eliminate jobs? “Telecommuting” has become part of our vocabulary, describing the phenomenon of working at a distance from the traditional company office or factory, connected in cyberspace. What are its advantages and disadvantages? How does it affect the physical distribution of population and businesses? Employees have powerful smartphones, tablets, and other devices that can make their work easier. Should they use their own devices for work? What risks need to be considered?
At the same time that information technology gives some workers more autonomy, it gives employers increased power to monitor the work, communications, movements, and online activity of employees and to observe what their employees do away from work (e.g., in social media). These changes affect productivity, privacy, and morale. Why do employers monitor employees? Should monitoring be limited?
In this chapter, we explore these questions.

Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), physical assets are turning into participants in real-time global digital markets. The countless types of assets around us will become as easily indexed, searched and traded as any online commodity. While some industries will be tougher to transform than others – those with physical limitations, such as manufacturing, will be harder to digitize – untold economic opportunities exist for growth and advancement. Our research shows this will create a new “Economy of Things” with significant consequences. Here, we explore this transformation, including what could happen to industry profit pools, as well as the likely impacts on existing players in different industries.

It is often said that people today are no longer loyal to organizations. Yet employees are loyal to their direct supervisor. This discussion question asks you to evaluate and apply your understanding of followership theory. Reflect on any techniques for understanding, achieving, and positively applying organizational and personal power and influence as a follower.
When effective leaders leave an organization to move on to another organization, they often take at least one or two employees. Employees who respect a leader and have generated a relationship and bond want to work under that leader. One indicator of effective leaders is communication skills in which a leader is attuned to the needs of each employee.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: Discuss a leader with whom you are familiar and who has the loyalty of his or her direct reports. Alternatively, you might interview a friend or family member about their experiences or you may research a well-known leader. Address the following in your response.
Evaluate how this leader earns respect and loyalty from his or her employees.
If you were in a leadership position, what methods would you implement to inspire, motivate, and empower your employees?

Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had been suffering from emphysema for several years and had had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent, and she went in and out of consciousness, alone in her hospital room. The medical-surgical nursing staff and the nurse manager focused on making Mrs. Smith’s end-of-life period as comfortable as possible. Upon consultation with the vice president for nursing, the nurse manager and the unit staff nurses decided against moving Mrs. Smith to the palliative care unit, although considered more economical, because of the need to protect and nurture her because she was already experiencing signs and symptoms of the dying process. Nurses were prompted by an article they read on human caring as the “language of nursing practice” (Turkel, Ray, & Kornblatt, 2012) in their weekly caring practice meetings.
The nurse manager reorganized patient assignments. She felt that the newly assigned clinical nurse leader who was working between both the medical and surgical units could provide direct nurse caring and coordination at the point of care (Sherman, 2012). Over the next few hours, the clinical nurse leader and a staff member who had volunteered her assistance provided personal care for Mrs. Smith. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could “be there” for her in her final moments. One friend was discovered and came to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith. With help from her team, the clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith’s room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed compassion and a deep sense of caring for her. The nurse manager and nursing unit staff were calmed and their “hearts awakened” by the personal caring that the clinical nurse leader and the volunteer nurse provided. Mrs. Smith died with caring persons at her bedside, and all members of the unit staff felt comforted that she had not died alone.
Davidson, Ray, and Turkel (2011) note that caring is complex, and caring science includes the art of practice, “an aesthetic which illuminates the beauty of the dynamic nurse-patient relationship, that makes possible authentic spiritual-ethical choices for transformation—healing, health, well-being, and a peaceful death” (p. xxiv). As the clinical nurse leader and the nursing staff in this situation engaged in caring practice that focused on the well-being of the patient, they simultaneously created a caring-healing environment that contributed to the well-being of the whole—the emotional atmosphere of the unit, the ability of the clinical nurse leader and staff nurses to practice caringly and competently, and the qualit.

Appearance When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my b.docxamrit47
Appearance
When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my black straight skirt, closed toed shoes and white collared shirt gave a professional appearance and more credibility with the audience. My hair was a little too casual. I wished I had that one strand tacked back so it would have stayed out of my eyes. This made it hard for the audience to see my face and was distracting when I had to keep tucking it back. My earrings were small so the audience would watch me and not my jewelry. I wasn’t standing up straight and it made me look less confident. I need to remember to have better posture when speaking.Organizational Pattern
My introduction was slow and clear and the story was suspenseful enough to grab their attention. It was a little confusing at the beginning because I didn’t preview the main points but because I transitioned well between the steps by saying, “Now that you have completed step 1, selecting the pattern, you are ready to move to step two, preparing the wood” the audience was able to follow. I remembered to state my research source for two of the steps but forgot the third. It made the third step seem shallower and I think I lost credibility. My word choice was good. I made sure to use a variety of descriptive words for the types of wood, explained new vocabulary and repeated phrases to help the audience remember the steps. For some reason the ending was weak. I didn’t tie it to the introduction or have a good ending sentence. It would have been a good idea to remind them of the beginning story and how woodworking affects their everyday life.Vocal Qualities
During my speech I had such a dry mouth that I messed up on the pronunciation of some of the words like saying “exspecially” instead of “especially.” This sounded less professional to the audience. I had good projection so that even the back row could hear without straining. My pitch variation is getting better but I still keep using the same rhythm with my pauses. This make me sound more monotone, like I’m reading the speech rather than just having a conversation. I’ll need to practice changing my rate and pauses. I also noticed many of my sentences end in an up-pitch, like I’m asking a question. If I bring some of those down it will make me appear more confident rather than questioning. It is hard to get rid of those filler words. “Like” and “so” are two of my favorites but it does make me sound like a teenager. I had no idea I said them so much.Delivery
There weren’t many gestures, which made me look stiff and nervous. I just held my note cards and stood in one spot the whole time. I need to do more with my hands and maybe move a little more in the space. I really admire the people in class who have such a good flow with their delivery from gestures to using the space around them purposefully. I felt I held my note cards too close to my face and had my head down most of the time. While watching the video, I noticed I looked at my cards and the poster a l.

5. Welfare-Based Principles
6. Desert-Based Principles

8. Feminist Principles
There are different theories of how to make the basic distribution. Among them are:
Strict Egalitarianism
One of the simplest principles of distributive justice is that of strict, or radical, equality. The principle says that every person should have the same level of material goods and services. The principle is most commonly justified on the grounds that people are morally equal and that equality in material goods and services is the best way to give effect to this moral ideal.
The Difference Principle
The most widely discussed theory of distributive justice in the past four decades has been that proposed by John Rawls in
A Theory of Justice
, (Rawls 1971), and
Political Liberalism
, (Rawls 1993). Rawls proposes the following two principles of justice:
· 1. Each person has an equal claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic rights and liberties, which scheme is compatible with the same scheme for all; and in this scheme the equal political liberties, and only those liberties, are to be guaranteed their fair value.
· 2. Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: (a) They are to be attached to positions and offices open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and (b), they are to be to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged members of society. (Rawls 1993, pp. 5–6. The principles are numbered as they were in Rawls' original
A Theory of Justice
.)
Equality of Opportunity and Luck Egalitarianism
Dworkin proposed that people begin with equal resources but be allowed to end up with unequal economic benefits as a result of their own choices. What constitutes a just material distribution is to be determined by the result of a thought experiment designed to model fair distribution. Suppose that everyone is given the same purchasing power and each uses that purchasing power to bid, in a fair auction, for resources best suited to their life plans. They are then permitted to use those resources as they see fit. Although people may end up with different economic benefits, none of them is given less consideration than another in the sense that if they wanted somebody else's resource bundle they could have bid for it instead.
In Dworkin's proposal we see his attitudes to ‘ambitions’ and ‘endowments’ which have become a central feature of luck egalitarianism (though under a wide variety of al.

School introduction to mis is the most important class in the
1. School?
Introduction to MIS is the most important class in the business
school. This wasn’t always the case. A couple decades ago,
majoring in “computers” was considered a nerdy thing to do.
But things have changed—a lot. Now the hottest jobs are found
in tech companies. People brag about working for tech startups.
Microsoft Corp. is the largest corporation in the world with a
market cap of about $1.36T. The second largest IPO offering in
history ($25B) came from the online e-commerce giant Alibaba
(Alibaba Holdings Group) in 2014.
But why? Why has information technology changed from a
minor corporate support function to a primary driver of
corporate profitability? Why are tech jobs some of the highest
paid? Why is working for a tech company considered übercool?
The answer has to do with the way technology is fundamentally
changing business.
The Digital Revolution
You’ve probably heard that we live in the Information Age, or a
period in history where the production, distribution, and control
of information is the primary driver of the economy. The
Information Age started in the 1970s with the Digital
Revolution, or the conversion from mechanical and analog
devices to digital devices. This shift to digital devices meant
monumental changes for companies, individuals, and our
society as a whole.
The problem was, people couldn’t really understand how, or
even why, this shift was going to affect them. Much like people
today, they based their future projections on past events. They
knew factories, bureaucracies, mass production, and operational
2. efficiency. But this knowledge didn’t prepare them for the
changes that were coming.
The Digital Revolution didn’t just mean that new “digital”
equipment was replacing old mechanical, or analog, equipment.
These new digital devices could now be connected to other
digital devices and share data among themselves. They could
also work faster as processor speed increased. This was
groundbreaking. In 1972, computer scientist Gordon Bell
recognized that these digital devices would change the world as
they evolved and became widely used. He formulated Bell’s
Law, which states that “a new computer class forms roughly
each decade establishing a new industry.”1 In other words,
digital devices will evolve so quickly that they will enable new
platforms, programming environments, industries, networks,
and information systems every 10 years.
And it has happened just as Bell predicted. About every 10
years since 1970, entirely new classes of digital devices have
emerged. They have created entirely new industries, companies,
and platforms. In the 1980s, we saw the rise of the personal
computer (PC) and small local networks. In the 1990s, we saw
the rise of the Internet and widespread adoption of cellular
phones. In the 2000s, we saw a push toward making all “things”
network-enabled. Social networking and cloud-based services
really took off, creating a flurry of new companies. In the
2010s, we’ve seen huge advances in artificial intelligence, 3D
printing, digital reality devices (e.g., Microsoft HoloLens), self-
driving vehicles, and cryptocurrencies.
The evolution of digital technology has fundamentally altered
businesses and become a primary driver of corporate
profitability. And it will probably continue to do so for at least
the next few decades. The key to understanding how businesses
will be affected by this digital evolution is understanding the
forces pushing the evolution of these new digital devices.
3. Evolving Capabilities
To understand the fundamental forces pushing the evolution of
digital devices, let’s imagine your body is evolving at the same
rate as digital devices. Suppose you can run 8 miles per hour
today. That’s about average. Now suppose, hypothetically, that
your body is changing so quickly that you can run twice as fast
every 18 months. In 18 months, you’d be able to run 16 mph. In
another 18 months, you’d be at 32 mph. Then 64, 128, 256, and
512. Then, after 10 1/2 years of growth, you’d be running 1,024
mph—on foot! How would this change your life?
Well, you’d certainly give up your car. It would be much too
slow. Air travel would also probably be a thing of the past. You
could start a very profitable package delivery business and
quickly corner the market. You could live outside of the city
because your commute would be shorter. You’d also need new
clothes and some really tough shoes! And this is the key point—
not only would you change, but what you do and how you do it
would also change. This is Bell’s Law. This same thing is
happening to digital devices.
This example may seem silly at first, but it helps you
understand how exponential change is affecting digital devices.
Processing power, interconnectivity of devices, storage
capacity, and bandwidth are all increasing extremely rapidly—
so rapidly that it’s changing how these devices are used. Let’s
explore some of these forces by looking at the laws that
describe them.
Moore’s Law
In 1965, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel Corporation, stated
that because of technology improvements in electronic chip
design and manufacturing, “The number of transistors per
square inch on an integrated chip doubles every 18 months.”
This became known as Moore’s Law. His statement has been
5. equal to the square of the number of users connected to it. In
other words, as more digital devices are connected together, the
value of that network will increase.3 See Figure 1-2. Metcalfe’s
Law can be clearly seen in the dramatic rise of the Internet in
the 1990s. As more users gained access to the Internet, it
became more valuable. The dot-com boom ushered in tech
giants like Google, Amazon, and eBay. None of these
companies would have existed without large numbers of users
connected to the Internet.
Figure 1-2: Increasing Value of Networks
Metcalfe’s Law isn’t lost on tech companies, either. Google’s
Project Loon is a major effort to bring Internet access to
everyone on the planet using a network of inflated balloons
floating around the world. One of the primary metrics for social
media companies is the number of monthly active users (MAU)
using their social network. The more people they can get in
their network, the more their company will be worth. And look
at the network effects of using products like Microsoft Word.
Why do you pay for Microsoft Word when you could use a free
word processor like LibreOffice Writer? You pay for Microsoft
Word because everyone else uses it.
Other Forces Pushing Digital Change
And it’s not just the number of users on the network that’s
changing the way we use digital devices—it’s the speed of the
network. Nielsen’s Law, named after Jakob Nielsen, says that
network connection speeds for high-end users will increase by
50 percent per year. As networks become faster, new
companies, new products, and new platforms will emerge.
YouTube, for example, started in February 2005 when there
wasn’t a lot of videos shared over the Internet. But average
6. Internet speeds were increasing to the point where a typical
Internet connection could handle a stream of YouTube videos.
By November 2006, the company was bought by Google for
$1.65B. If you’re counting, that’s less than 2 years to create a
billion-dollar company. Network speed matters. The question is
why didn’t Google, Microsoft, IBM, or Apple think of video
sharing before the YouTube founders?
There are other forces changing digital devices beyond
Nielsen’s Law, Metcalfe’s Law, and Moore’s Law.
See Figure 1-3. Kryder’s Law, named after Mark Kryder, the
former chief technology officer of Seagate Corp., says that the
storage density on magnetic disks is increasing at an
exponential rate. See Figure 1-4. Digital storage is so important
that it’s typically the first question you ask when you buy a new
computer, smartphone, or tablet. There’s also power
consumption, image resolution, and interconnectivity between
devices, all of which are changing, too. And this isn’t a
complete list.

doubles every 18 months.
Computers are getting exponentially faster. The cost of data
processing is approaching zero.
Metcalfe's Law
The value of a network is equal to the square of the number of

This Is the Most Important Class in the School of Business
This takes us back to our original statement that Introduction to
MIS is the most important class you will take in the school of
business. Why? Because this class will show you how
technology is fundamentally changing businesses. You’ll learn
why executives are constantly trying to find ways to use new
technology to create a sustainable competitive advantage. This
leads us to the first reason Introduction to MIS is the most
important course in the business school today:
Future business professionals need to be able to assess,
evaluate, and apply emerging information technology to
business.
You need the knowledge of this course to attain that skill.

1-2 How Will MIS Affect You?
Technological change is accelerating. So what? How is this
going to affect you? You may think that the evolution of
technology is just great. You can hardly wait for the next
iGadget to come out.
8. But pause for a second and imagine you graduated from college
in 2004 and went to work for one of the largest and most
successful home entertainment companies in the United States—
Blockbuster LLC. In 2004, Blockbuster had 60,000 employees
and 9,000-plus stores with $5.9B in annual revenues.
Everything looked peachy. Fast-forward 6 years to 2010 and
Blockbuster was bankrupt! Why? Because streaming a video
over the Internet is easier than driving to a store. High-speed
Internet connections made it all possible.
The point is that after graduation you too may choose to go to
work for a large, successful, well-branded company. And 6
years down the road, it could be bankrupt because technology
changed and it didn’t.
How Can You Attain Job Security?
Many years ago, I had a wise and experienced mentor . One day
I asked him about job security, and he told me that the only job
security that exists is “a marketable skill and the courage to use
it.” He continued, “There is no security in our company, there is
no security in any government program, there is no security in
your investments, and there is no security in Social Security.”
Alas, how right he turned out to be.
So, what is a marketable skill? It used to be that one could name
particular skills, such as computer programming, tax
accounting, or marketing. But today, because of Moore’s Law,
Metcalfe’s Law, and Kryder’s Law, the cost of data processing,
storage, and communications is essentially zero. Any routine
skill can and will be outsourced to the lowest bidder. And if you
live in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, or another
advanced economy, the lowest bidder is unlikely to be you.
Numerous organizations and experts have studied the question
of what skills will be marketable during your career. Consider
9. two of them. First, the RAND Corporation, a think tank located
in Santa Monica, California, has published innovative and
groundbreaking ideas for more than 70 years, including the
initial design for the Internet. In 2004, RAND published a
description of the skills that workers in the 21st century will
need:
Rapid technological change and increased international
competition place the spotlight on the skills and preparation of
the workforce, particularly the ability to adapt to changing
technology and shifting demand. Shifts in the nature of
organizations ... favor strong nonroutine cognitive skills.4
Whether you’re majoring in accounting, marketing, finance, or
information systems, you need to develop strong nonroutine
cognitive skills.
What are such skills? Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor,
enumerates four:5
· Abstract reasoning
· Systems thinking
· Collaboration
· Ability to experiment
Figure 1-5 shows an example of each. Reread the eHermes case
that started this lesson, and you’ll see that Amanda lost her job
because of her inability to practice these key skills. Even
though Reich’s book was written in the early 1990s, the
cognitive skills he mentions are still relevant today because
humans, unlike technology, aren’t changing that rapidly.6

10. Abstract Reasoning
Construct a model or representation.
Hesitancy and uncertainty when conceptualizing a method for
using AI and machine learning.
Systems Thinking
Model system components and show how components' inputs
and outputs relate to one another.
Inability to model eHermes' operational needs.
Collaboration
Develop ideas and plans with others. Provide and receive
critical feedback.
Unwilling to work with others on works in progress.
Ability to Experiment
Create and test promising new alternatives, consistent with
available resources.
Fear of failure prohibited discussion of new ideas.
How Can Intro to MIS Help You Learn Nonroutine Skills?
Introduction to MIS is the best course in the business school for
learning Reich’s four key skills because every topic requires
you to apply and practice them. Here’s how.
Abstract Reasoning
Abstract reasoning is the ability to make and manipulate
models. You will work with one or more models in every course
topic and book lesson. For example, later in this lesson you will
learn about a model of the five components of an information
system. This lesson will describe how to use this model to
assess the scope of any new information system project; other
lessons will build upon this model.
In this course, you will not just manipulate models that we have
developed, you will also be asked to construct models of your
own. In Lesson 5, for example, you’ll learn how to create data
models, and in Lesson 12 you’ll learn to make process models.
11. Systems Thinking
Can you go to a grocery store, look at a can of green beans, and
connect that can to U.S. immigration policy? Can you watch
tractors dig up a forest of pulpwood trees and connect that
woody trash to Moore’s Law? Do you know why Cisco Systems
is one of the major beneficiaries of YouTube? Answers to all of
these questions require systems thinking. Systems thinking is
the ability to model the components of the system to connect the
inputs and outputs among those components into a sensible
whole that reflects the structure and dynamics of the
phenomenon observed.
As you are about to learn, this class is about information
systems. We will discuss and illustrate systems; you will be
asked to critique systems; you will be asked to compare
alternative systems; you will be asked to apply different
systems to different situations. All of those tasks will prepare
you for systems thinking as a professional.
Collaboration
Collaboration is the activity of two or more people working
together to achieve a common goal, result, or work product.
Lesson 7 will teach you collaboration skills and illustrate
several sample collaboration information systems. Every lesson
of this book includes collaboration exercises that you may be
assigned in class or as homework.
Here’s a fact that surprises many students: Effective
collaboration isn’t about being nice. In fact, surveys indicate
the single most important skill for effective collaboration is to
give and receive critical feedback. Advance a proposal in
business that challenges the cherished program of the VP of
marketing, and you’ll quickly learn that effective collaboration
skills differ from party manners at the neighborhood barbeque.
So, how do you advance your idea in the face of the VP’s
resistance? And without losing your job? In this course, you can
12. learn both skills and information systems for such collaboration.
Even better, you will have many opportunities to practice them.
Ability to Experiment
· “I’ve never done this before.”
· “I don’t know how to do it.”
· “But will it work?”
· “Is it too weird for the market?”
Fear of failure: the fear that paralyzes so many good people and
so many good ideas. In the days when business was stable, when
new ideas were just different verses of the same song,
professionals could allow themselves to be limited by fear of
failure.
Let’s look at an example of the application of social networking
to the oil change business. Is there a legitimate application of
social networking there? If so, has anyone ever done it? Is there
anyone in the world who can tell you what to do? How to
proceed? No. As Reich says, professionals in the 21st century
need to be able to experiment.
Successful experimentation is not throwing buckets of money at
every crazy idea that enters your head. Instead, experimentation
is making a reasoned analysis of an opportunity, envisioning
potential solutions, evaluating those possibilities, and
developing the most promising ones, consistent with the
resources you have.
In this course, you will be asked to use products with which you
have no familiarity. Those products might be Microsoft Excel or
Access, or they might be features and functions of Blackboard
that you have not used. Or you may be asked to collaborate
using OneDrive or SharePoint or Google Drive. Will your
instructor explain and show every feature of those products that
you’ll need? You should hope not. You should hope your
instructor will leave it up to you to experiment, to envision new
13. possibilities on your own, and to experiment with those
possibilities, consistent with the time you have available.
Jobs
Employment is another factor that makes the Introduction to
MIS course vitally important to you. Accenture, a technology
consulting and outsourcing company, conducted a survey of
CEOs in 2018. It found that 74 percent of CEOs plan to use
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate tasks to a large or very
large extent over the next three years. But those same CEOs
also believe that only 26 percent of their workers are prepared
to collaborate with their AI coworkers. Even worse, only 3
percent of CEOs plan on increasing investments toward training
and reskilling employees to prepare them for these new tech-
centric jobs.7 Understanding technology and having a
willingness to learn new tech skills will be an increasingly
important part of staying gainfully employed in the future. You
will learn more about intelligent systems, including AI, in
Lesson 3.
The demand for information systems and business jobs is high
and driving future wage growth. According to data from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, shown in Figure 1-6, the top
five occupational categories with the highest median wages in
2019 were management, computer and mathematical, legal,
architecture and engineering, and business and financial
operations. Projected job growth in computer and mathematical
jobs (12.7 percent) was more than double the average for all
occupations (5.2 percent). The mismatch between the high level
of tech skills demanded by employers and the low level of tech
skills held by employees is known as the technology skills gap.

Statistics.
Figure 1-7 shows a more detailed breakdown of salary growth
from 2017 to 2019 for specific subcategories under business
managers, computer and information technology, and other
business occupations. It also shows job growth projections for
the years 2018 to 2028.8 Growth rates of all information
systems-related jobs are at or above the 5.2 percent average for
all occupations. Some are growing many times faster.

Information systems and computer technology provide job and
wage benefits beyond just IS professionals. Acemoglu and
Autor published an impressive empirical study of jobs and
wages in the United States and parts of Europe from the 1960s
to 2010. They found that early in this period, education and
industry were the strongest determinants of employment and
salary. However, since 1990, the most significant determinant
of employment and salary is the nature of work performed. In
short, as the price of computer technology plummets, the value
of jobs that benefit from it increases dramatically.9
For example, plentiful, high-paying jobs are available to
business professionals who know how to use information
systems to improve business process quality, or those who know
how to interpret data mining results for improved marketing, or
those who know how to use emerging technology like 3D
printing to create new products and address new markets. See
the Career Guide on pages 26–27 for more thoughts on why you
15. might consider an IS-related job.
What Is the Bottom Line?
The bottom line? This course is the most important course in the
business school because:
1. It will give you the background you need to assess, evaluate,
and apply emerging information systems technology to business.
2. It can give you the ultimate in job security—marketable
skills—by helping you learn abstraction, systems thinking,
collaboration, and experimentation.
3. Many well-paid MIS-related jobs are in high demand.
Knowledge Check
What Is MIS?
We’ve used the term MIS several times, and you may be
wondering exactly what it is. MIS stands for management
information systems, which we define as the management and
use of information systems that help organizations achieve their
strategies. MIS is often confused with the closely related
terms information technology and information systems.
An information system (IS) is an assembly of hardware,
software, data, procedures, and people that produces
information. In contrast, information technology (IT) refers to
the products, methods, inventions, and standards used for the
purpose of producing information.
How are MIS, IS, and IT different? You cannot buy an IS. But
you can buy IT; you can buy or lease hardware, you can license
programs and databases, and you can even obtain predesigned
procedures. Ultimately, however, it is your people who will
assemble the IT you purchase and execute those procedures to
employ that new IT. Information technology drives the
development of new information systems.
16. For any new system, you will always have training tasks (and
costs), you will always have the need to overcome employees’
resistance to change, and you will always need to manage the
employees as they use the new system. Hence, you can buy IT,
but you cannot buy IS. Once your new information system is up
and running, it must be managed and used effectively in order
to achieve the organization’s overall strategy. This is MIS.
Consider a simple example. Suppose your organization decides
to develop a Facebook page. Facebook provides the IT. It
provides the hardware and programs, the database structures,
and standard procedures. You, however, must create the IS. You
have to provide the data to fill your portion of its database, and
you must extend its standard procedures with your own
procedures for keeping that data current. Those procedures need
to provide, for example, a means to review your page’s content
regularly and a means to remove content that is judged
inappropriate. Furthermore, you need to train employees on how
to follow those procedures and manage those employees to
ensure that they do. MIS is the management of your Facebook
page to achieve your organization’s overall strategy. Managing
your own Facebook page is as simple an IS as exists. Larger,
more comprehensive IS that involve many, even dozens, of
departments and thousands of employees require considerable
work.
The definition of MIS has three key elements: management and
use, information systems, and strategies. Let’s consider each,
starting first with information systems and their
components.Components of an Information System
A system is a group of components that interact to achieve some
purpose. As you might guess, an information system (IS) is a
group of components that interacts to produce information. That
sentence, although true, raises another question: What are these
components that interact to produce information?
17. Figure 1-8 shows the five-component framework—a model of
the components of an information system: computer hardware,
software, data, procedures, and people. These five components
are present in every information system, from the simplest to
the most complex. For example, when you use a computer to
write a class report, you are using hardware (the computer,
storage disk, keyboard, and monitor), software (Word,
WordPerfect, or some other word-processing program), data
(the words, sentences, and paragraphs in your report),
procedures (the methods you use to start the program, enter
your report, print it, and save and back up your file), and people
(you).
Figure 1-8: Five Components of an Information System
Consider a more complex example, say, an airline reservation
system. It, too, consists of these five components, even though
each one is far more complicated. The hardware consists of
thousands of computers linked together by data communications
hardware. Hundreds of different programs coordinate
communications among the computers, and still other programs
perform the reservations and related services. Additionally, the
system must store millions upon millions of characters of data
about flights, customers, reservations, and other facts. Hundreds
of different procedures are followed by airline personnel, travel
agents, and customers. Finally, the information system includes
people, not only the users of the system but also those who
operate and service the computers, those who maintain the data,
and those who support the networks of computers.
The important point here is that the five components in Figure
1-8 are common to all information systems, from the smallest to
the largest. As you think about any information system,
18. including a new one like social networking, learn to look for
these five components. Realize, too, that an information system
is not just a computer and a program, but rather an assembly of
computers, programs, data, procedures, and people.
As we will discuss later in this lesson, these five components
also mean that many different skills are required besides those
