- Information Systems are a part of Organizations
- Business firms and other organizations rely on information systems to
- manage their operations
- compete in the marketplace
- supply services
- and augment personal lives
- Information systems can be centralized or decentralized
- Centralization refers to the allocation of all IT resources to one particular business unit that provides IT services to the whole firm

- Executive Information System: provide summary information for executives
