Teamwork, But Less Technology
Mid-tier firms don’t use collaboration tools as much as larger companies do. Is that wise?
Small and growing businesses are not technology laggards. Mid-tier companies are more likely than large companies to be early and midstream technology adopters, and they are increasing IT spending faster, according to past CIO Insight surveys.
Fascinating article which looks at the differences in IT use between large and small/medium firms. If you look at the chart there are differences across the board, but the largest differences appear to be in specific collaborative technologies. The article speculates why this might be the case, but it would be useful to dig a bit deeper into how the large companies are using these technologies. What are the demographics that are different? Are the companies more productive or less when they use these technologies. On chart is particularly interesting:

Five Ways Generation Y May Reinvent IT
Five Ways Generation Y May Reinvent IT
Perhaps, instead of wreaking havoc, their different working styles might cause foundational changes in the way enterprises run, especially when it comes to IT. Here are five ways that Generation Y could pull up the roots of information technology in favor of something new.
Reinvent IT, I like the sound of that. While I think the authors are premature on what they are saying, I think we will see some very positive changes in how technology is used in organizations because Generation Y simply sees technology differently.

Which way are we heading?
Two articles came across my desk today causing me to wonder about the direction we are heading. As an MIS Professor I am very aware of the employment data as well as the prospects for future employment. I’ve read many articles saying that things are bad and others that say they are good and getting better. But the bottom line is technology continues to have an impact on business (why I like MIS in the first place)…anyway, these two articles show how things are changing.
The first one alarms me a bit. It seems IBM is starting to bypass the CIO and work directly with the business units:
The second one shows how the IT people are becoming more involved in the business:
So what do we see? What does the future look like? The encouraging thing is that technology first american cash advancemagnum cash advance,advance cash faxing magnumadvance cash loan payday,advance cash cash loan loan payday quick,advance cash loan payday todayadvance cash company,scams on cash advance companyhow to win at blackjackcasino online gambling guidebest online casino gambling site,best online casino gamblingadd casino link onlineinternet roulettefree online slots game,play free online slots gamevideo poker machinefree casino game no download,casino software download,casino downloadfree online video pokerfree on line video pokerno download casinovirtual casino gamblingonline bingocomputer black jackplay slots,play free slots game,free slots play for freeinternet slotsbest craps onlinefree backgammon download,free backgammon,free backgammon game downloadfree casino game,free casino,free casino moneyfree casino game no downloadplay blackjack online,blackjack money online play,play blackjack online freeonline casino gambling siteduces wild video pokeronline casino slots gamblingonline black jack gamefree triple play video pokerbest gambling online roulette,online roulette gamblingfree roulette,free online roulette,free roulette gamefree craps game online,free craps game,free online casino game crapsmultiplay video pokerinternet blackjack,free internet blackjack,blackjack internet casinoblack jack game,black jack game download,black jack casino gamevideo poker downloadsplay roulette onlineinternet casino gambling online,online casino gambling,casino gamblingfree no deposit casino bonusblack jack tournament,black jack tournament ultimate,winning black jack tournamentinternet video pokerfree black jack gamedownload rouletteplay free casino gameonline casino wageringno download video pokerplay craps,how to play craps on the internet,play craps freelearn to play roulette,play roulette,play casino roulettevideo poker tips is closer to the users. The discouraging thing is that if there’s no plan, each unit does what it wants, what happens? Some don’t see MIS as a “functional area” of business. But it is. Can each of the other functional areas do their own marketing? Certainly, with today’s software they could. So why do we still have marketing departments? To leverage marketing opportunities. The same is true for MIS, organizations need to leverage technology opportunities too.
What do you think?

How to Tap ITs Hidden Potential
How to Tap ITs Hidden Potential - WSJ.com
Simply put, top executives at most companies fail to recognize the value of IT. It can help a company transform data from its operations, its business partners and its markets into useful competitive information. It can be the source of profitable innovations in the way a company interacts with its customers and suppliers. But there is still a tendency to think of IT as a basic utility, like plumbing or telephone service.
Great article in the Wall Street Journal!! MIS professors have been preaching the alignment between business and technology for years. We have been telling students there is a need to translate between both worlds. Preaching strategy. Business + Computers, what a concept

Facebook vs. LinkedIn: Which is better for business?
Facebook vs. LinkedIn: Which is better for business?
March 4, 2008 Computerworld Social networking is no longer the Next Big Thing; its now as much part of our Web experience as search engines. Previously considered the province of kids who wanted to keep up with class gossip, social networking services are being co-opted by grownups who are examining ways to use them both within and outside of their places of employment.
Fascinating article. I am glad that someone looked at it this way. Social Networking is not going away and time soon and it will have/has had an impact on business.
