...Chapter 1 - Accounting Information Systems: An Overview A system is a set of two or more interrelated components that interact to achieve a goal. Most systems are composed of smaller subsystems that support the larger system. For example, a college of business is a system composed of various departments, each of which is a subsystem. Moreover, the college itself is a subsystem of the university. Each subsystem is designed to achieve one or more organizational goals. Changes in subsystems cannot be made without considering the effect on other subsystems and on the system as a whole. Goal conflict occurs when a subsystem is inconsistent with the goals of another subsystem or with the system as a whole. Goal congruence occurs when a subsystem achieves its goals while contributing to the organization’s overall goal. Data are facts that are collected, recorded, stored, and processed by an information system. For example, the business needs to collect data about a sale (date, total amount), the resource sold (good or service, quantity sold, unit price), and the people who participated (customer, salesperson). Information is data that have been organized and processed to provide meaning and improve the decision-making process. However, there are limits to the amount of information the human mind can absorb and process. Information overload occurs when those limits are passed, resulting in a decline in decision-making quality and an increase in the cost of providing that information...

...LEAN The five-step thought process for guiding the implementation of lean techniques is easy to remember, but not always easy to achieve: 1. Specify value from the standpoint of the end customer by product family. 2. Identify all the steps in the value stream for each product family, eliminating whenever possible those steps that do not create value. 3. Make the value-creating steps occur in tight sequence so the product will flow smoothly toward the customer. 4. As flow is introduced, let customers pull value from the next upstream activity. 5. As value is specified, value streams are identified, wasted steps are removed, and flow and pull are introduced, begin the process again and continue it until a state of perfection is reached in which perfect value is created with no waste.

Supply chain management is a key strategic factor for increasing organizational effectiveness and for better realization of goals such as enhanced competitiveness, better customer care and increased profitability (Gunasekaran, Patel, Tirtiroglu, 2001, p71).

...Description Information technology (IT) has transformed all aspects of 21st century business and everyday life. New IT investments continue to be staggering. Worldwide, over $2.5 trillion is invested in IT. In the U.S., over 50% of capital expenditures are related to IT. Information systems influence business processes, organizational structures, and the ways people do business, work, and communicate. Emerging technologies have triggered new forms of organization and business process innovation; they have also impacted organizational structure, culture, politics, decision making, and society as a whole. IT is transforming how physical products are designed, how services are bundled with products, and how individuals interact with businesses and with other individuals. A silent transformation is occurring as more and more physical products use embedded IT to improve customer experience and product performance. The pervasiveness of IT is expanding global trade and changing how and where work is performed. It is vital that future managers—in every area of business—have a working knowledge of modern IT, practical experience in its use, and management perspective on how IT is used in organizations. MIS 301 will focus on three broad issues: (a) data and enterprise systems; (b) IT and competitive strategies; and (c) emerging technologies. While there is some introduction to the practical business use of hands-on technology, the real value that McCombs majors...
