CHAPTER 1 : Business Driven Technology

Assalamualikum,, today I was learning about business driven technology, is all about the important of technology in our daily life.


As we know all people or an organization needs a technology to support their work became easy and fast. Actually management can be defined as manage by (4S) which is Man (people), Machine, Money and Material to achieve goals. On the other hand, Man as a people who is drive the business, Machine as a technology that we use to make the process of a business data make easier, Money as a capital to start or to make a business running smoothly and then the materials as a asset or the things that we want to sell or running a business.

Business Driven Technology also explain about the differentiation between Information technology (IT) and Management information systems (MIS) :- 

~Information Technology is a the use of technology such application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, and manipulate data often in context of a business.                                           ~Management information systems (MIS) is a business function and academic discipline covering application of people, technologies, and procedures to solve business problems.

   Actually, the technology was useful in the business operations such as Customer Service, Finance, Sales Marketing, IT Operations, Operations Management, HR, and Security. This business cannot operate very well without the helping from the technology, we cannot type or search a million name, job or anything by hand but with the technology, the information will written and quickly sought. For instance: Ali wants to book a hotel in Langkawi early for the upcoming holiday season. Then, he was telephone the service centre to book it. So the service centre was check if there any available room and set up one room for Ali as already booked. Furthermore, this story is shown to how the technology helps humans everyday such as Ali use a telephone to call the service centre, then the service centre use the computer to search any data.






            The information technology basics is beginning by 3 steps :-
11)      Data : raw facts that describe the characteristic of an event.
22)      Information : data converted into a meaningful and useful context.
33)      Business intelligence : applications and technologies that are used to support decision-                         making efforts.
#Then the information will included into a technology systems such as excel and etc.







            Moreover, in this chapter also I have learning about 4 IT Cultures :-

11)      Information-Functional Culture
~Employees use information as a means of exercising influence or power over others.

22)      Information-Sharing Culture
~Employees across departments trust each other to use information ( especially about problems and failures) to improve performance.

33)      Information-Inquiring Culture
~Employees across departments search for information to better understand the future and align themselves with current trends and new directions.

44)      Information-Discovery Culture
~Employees across departments are open to new insights about crisis and radical changes and seek ways to create competitive advantage.

That a summary from chapter 1 that I have learning :) .......
