Information systems (IS) is the study of complementary networks of hardware and software that people and organizations use to collect, filter, process, create, and distribute data. [1][2][3][4]The study bridges business and computer science using the theoretical foundations of information and computation to study various business models and related algorithmic processes within a computer science discipline. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]Computer Information System(s) (CIS) is a field studying computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their software and hardware designs, their applications, and their impact on society [14][15][16]while IS emphasizes functionality over design. [17]
The history of information systems coincides with the history of computer science that began long before the modern discipline of computer science emerged in the twentieth century. [18]Regarding the circulation of information and ideas, numerous legacy information systems still exist today that are continuously updated to promote ethnographic approaches, to ensure data integrity, and to improve the social effectiveness & efficiency of the whole process. [19]In general, information systems are focused upon processing information within organizations, especially within business enterprises, and sharing the benefits with modern society. [20]
Silver et al. (1995) provided two views on (IS) and IS-centered view that includes software, hardware, data, people, and procedures. A second managerial view includes people, business processes and Information Systems.
There are various types of information systems, for example: transaction processing systems, office systems, decision support systems, knowledge management systems, database management systems, and office information systems. Critical to most information systems are information technologies, which are typically designed to enable humans to perform tasks for which the human brain is not well suited, such as: handling large amounts of information, performing complex calculations, and controlling many simultaneous processes.
Information technologies are a very important and malleable resource available to executives. [21]Many companies have created a position of Chief Information Officer (CIO) that sits on the executive board with the Chief Executive Officer
