摘要：Initially seen as a support function, Information Systems (IS) department’s importance has increased as the business environment has grown more dynamic and the power to collect, assess, and disseminate information has expanded. Properly implemented information systems have become an even more valuable strategic resource – one that any organization can use to improve its competitive advantage. IS departments are rapidly becoming strategic partners with other business functions and integral to the general success of the organization. This work summarizes key issues related to the changing role of IS in the business environment for senior practitioners and strategic planners focusing on legal, marketing, HR and corporate governance.
