Information Systems Management

Moore’s law of doubling computational power every 18 months has contributed to vast improvements over the last 30 years. Today we use the Internet for business transactions, to access and supply information, to communicate, collaborate, and participate in discussions, and for entertainment. We can order books and music from Amazon.com, book vacations or business travel on United.com or expedia.com and access personal productivity products over the Web from personal computers (PC), notebooks, personal digital assistants (PDA), or cell phones.

For example, a small company in Brazil used the digital platform to attract a more af�uent type of customer, which increased their average sales over 15 times and expanded their business in the global market. Today companies can manage their business on a global scale by leveraging network economics.

We will also discuss applications and systems used in organizations today.
