...MGMT 221 Assignment 1.6 Module Review Quentin Haynes Embry Riddle Aeronautical University MGT 221 Assignment 1.6 Module Review Chapter Questions 1.6 1) How can information technology support a company’s business processes and decision making and give it a competitive advantage? Information technology plays a key role in the success of a company. For example: information technology allows the use of communication medium such as e-mail, instant messaging, voice over IP, video chat, SMS messaging, cloud computing, etc. by employees located just across town or around the world. These types of communication help to reduce costs, save time, and increase customer satisfaction. Companies routinely use IT to track inventory, pay their employees, and monitor sales trends.

The main objective of this book is to provide an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand PRINCE2® manual. The idea for this book came from the questions I received from people trying to learn PRINCE2 and after reading the official PRINCE2 manual “Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2”. The official PRINCE2 Manual for the Project Manager is an excellent reference manual but can be rather difficult to pick up and read if you are new to both project management and PRINCE2. So this book is meant to be – and is – an easy introduction to PRINCE2 and is quickly becoming the most read book for people wishing to learn about PRINCE2 and prepare for Foundation Exam and Practitioner Exam.
