Organizations and Computer Systems

Organizations and Computer Systems 

Computers are changing every aspect of our lives from entertainment to shopping, from the work we do and where we do it, to how we communicate with friends and relatives. Even though we are still hearing negative news about the dot-com bubble from the late 1990s through 2001, the death of the Internet has been greatly exaggerated. Not only is it alive and well, but thriving. The difference between then and now is that many of the companies went bust primarily because of poor business planning or simply because their product wasn’t viable to begin with. As might be aware, many companies are remodeling their businesses and information systems with the Internet in mind.
Information systems are the foundation for conducting business today. In many industries, survival and even existence is difficult without extensive use of information technology. No longer can we imagine going to work and conducting business without them. As a society we have come to rely extensively on the use of information appliances such as cell phones, BlackBerrys, handhelds, and other hardware. Communicating and conducting business is increasingly being carried out through the use of e-mail, online conferencing, and international teleconferencing. Internet technologies have become essential business tools.
From the above two paragraphs, you can realize the importance of Information Systems for a company.

Human Resource Management: Strategies and Practices

Human Resource Management: Strategies and Practices
