An information system is a set of interconnected components that collect, process, store, and disseminate information to support decision making and coordination in an organization. Information systems are critical to business operations and success, ensuring improved decision making, operational excellence, competitive advantage, and organizational survival. An information system incorporates three dimensions: organizational, management, and technology. The organizational dimension involves business processes and culture. The management dimension supplies tools and information for managers. The technology dimension consists of hardware, software, storage, and networking that underpin information systems.

Ethical And Social Issues in MIS - Management Information SystemFaHaD .H. NooR
Information ethics has been defined as "the branch of ethics that focuses on the relationship between the creation, organization, dissemination, and use of information, and the ethical standards and moral codes governing human conduct in society".[1] The term information ethics was first coined by Robert Hauptman and used in the book Ethical challenges in librarianship. It examines the morality that comes from information as a resource, a product, or as a target.[2] It provides a critical framework for considering moral issues concerning informational privacy, moral agency (e.g. whether artificial agents may be moral), new environmental issues (especially how agents should behave in the infosphere), problems arising from the life-cycle (creation, collection, recording, distribution, processing, etc.) of information (especially ownership and copyright, digital divide, and digital rights). It is very vital to understand that librarians, archivists, information professionals among others, really understand the importance of knowing how to disseminate proper information as well as being responsible with their actions when addressing information.[3]
Information ethics has evolved to relate to a range of fields such as computer ethics,[4] medical ethics, journalism[5] and the philosophy of information.
Dilemmas regarding the life of information are becoming increasingly important in a society that is defined as "the information society". The explosion of so much technology has brought information ethics to a forefront in ethical considerations. Information transmission and literacy are essential concerns in establishing an ethical foundation that promotes fair, equitable, and responsible practices. Information ethics broadly examines issues related to ownership, access, privacy, security, and community. It is also concerned with relational issues such as "the relationship between information and the good of society, the relationship between information providers and the consumers of information".[6]
Information technology affects common issues such as copyright protection, intellectual freedom, accountability, privacy, and security. Many of these issues are difficult or impossible to resolve due to fundamental tensions between Western moral philosophies (based on rules, democracy, individual rights, and personal freedoms) and the traditional Eastern cultures (based on relationships, hierarchy, collective responsibilities, and social harmony).[7] The multi-faceted dispute between Google and the government of the People's Republic of China reflects some of these fundamental tensions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Three dimensions of information systems
1. 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.
Information systems are the foundation for conducting business today. It plays a critical role
in increasing productivity and industrial survival thus making it hard for an organization to
continue to exist without extensive use of it.
With information system existence it ensures improved decision making, Operational
excellence, and Competitive advantage, Customer and supplier intimacy and total overall
organizational survival. Information systems may help managers and workers analyze
problems, visualize complex subjects, and create new products.
THREE DIMENSIONS OF INFORMATION SYSTEM
An information system represents a combination of management, organization, and
technology element. To fully understand information systems, a manager must understand the
broader organization, management, and information technology dimensions of systems and
their power to provide solutions to challenges and problems in the business environment.
Hence it incorporates an understanding of the management and organizational dimensions of
systems as well as the technical dimensions of systems as information systems literacy.
Information systems literacy includes a behavioral as well as a technical approach to studying
information systems. Computer literacy, in contrast, focuses primarily on knowledge of
information technology. These dimensions can be explained as follows
ORGANIZATIONAL DIMENSION
Information systems are part of organizations. Information systems will have the standard
operating procedure and the culture of an organization imbedded within them.
The organization dimension of information systems involves the organization’s hierarchy,
functional specialties, business processes, culture, and political interest groups.
In reality today information systems affect a much larger part of the organization itself, such
as organizational products, objectives, and structure. Powerful computers, software, and
networks, including the Internet, have helped organizations become more flexible, More and
more business activities at all levels involve the use of information systems.
2. There is a growing interdependence between the organization and its information systems. An
organization’s present and future accomplishments depend in many respects on what its
systems will permit it to do now and later, thus a change in the business's strategy, rules, or
procedures requires changes in the information systems software, hardware, databases, and
telecommunications.
MANAGEMENT DIMENSION OF INFORMATION SYSTEM
Managers perceive business challenges in the environment, they set the organizational
strategy for responding and allocate the human and financial resources to achieve the strategy
and coordinate the work.
The management dimension of information systems involves leadership, strategy, and
management behavior. Information systems supply tools and information needed by managers
to allocate, coordinate and monitor their work, make decisions, create new products, and
services and make long-range strategic decisions. Information system helps to make
teamwork and collaborative work environments
Information systems help to drive both daily operations and managerial strategies.
Information systems can help management to obtain periodic reports, These reports can be
obtained from different systems such as sales./marketing systems, Human resource systems,
accounting systems. The systems assist managers in making decision making such as by
having What-if" questions on decision support systems.
Also helps senior management to tackle and address strategic issues and long-term
trends both in the firm and in the external environment. Their principle concern is matching
changes in the external environment with existing organizational capability
TECHNOLOGY DIMENSION
The technology dimensions consist of computer hardware, software, data management
technology, and networking/telecommunications technology (including the Internet).
Management uses technology (hardware, software, storage, and telecommunications) to carry
out their functions. It is one of the many tools managers use to cope with change.
3. Computer hardware is the physical equipment used for input, processing, and output activities
in an information system. It consists of the following: the computer processing unit; various s
input, output, and storage devices; and physical media to link these devices together.
Computer software consists of the detailed preprogrammed instructions that control and
coordinate the computer hardware components in an information system.
Storage technology includes both the physical media for storing data, such as magnetic or
optical disk or tape, and the software governing the organization of data on these physical
media.
Communications technology, consisting of both physical devices and software, links the
various pieces of hardware and transfers data from one physical location to another.
Computers and communications equipment can be connected in networks for sharing voice,
data, images, sound, or even video
All of these technologies represent resources that can be shared throughout the organization
and constitute the firm's information technology (IT) infrastructure re. The IT infrastructure
provides the foundation or platform on which the firm can build its specific information
systems.
Each organization must carefully design and manage its information technology
infrastructure so that it has the set of technology services it needs for the work it wants to
accomplish with information systems.
