This chapter explores the significance of information systems in modern businesses, demonstrating the productivity paradox, evaluating the argument in 'Does IT Matter?', and explaining the components of competitive advantage. It presents compelling examples of how information systems can provide businesses with a competitive advantage, gives real-world context to the role of information systems in decision-making, and offers expert guidance on utilizing information systems for competitive advantage.

Summary

Instead, the combination of the right technologies and good management will give a company the best chance for a positive result.
