What is information technology? How can information technology be used in an
organization to improve its efficiency? How much investment should an organization
make in information technology? What are the business benefits and opportunities an
organization may achieve from using information technology? These are some of the
most important questions many organizations ask themselves before investing their
capitals in information technology.
In an academic term, information technology is defined as hardware, software,
telecommunications, database management, and other information processing
technologies used in computer-based information systems. There are many ways that
organizations may view and use information technology. However, in today's competitive
business environment technology is no longer an afterthought in forming business
strategy, but it is the actual cause and driver. In other words, for a firm to maintain or
improve its business competitiveness it must use information technology to achieve
strategic advantage.
Information technology can help a company substantially reduce the cost of business
processes and lower the costs of customers or suppliers.
Information technology can help a company differentiate its products and services from
others.
Using information technology, a firm can create new products and services or make
radical changes to business processes.
A firm can use information technology to manage regional and global business
expansion or to diversify and integrate into other products and services.
A firm can use information technology to create virtual organizations of business
partners or to develop alliances with customers, suppliers, and other business partners.
Information technology can dramatically improve the efficiency of business processes
and the quality of products and services.
Using information technology, a firm can build a strategic information base of all the
information collected.
Some experts argue that use of information technology has become a strategic necessity
rather than a strategic advantage, because most competitive advantages don't last more
than a few years. Whether the statement is true or not, most companies may not want to
wait too long before investing in information technology because it would be tough to
catch up later once you get behind your competitors, especially when everyone is
playing with newer, better technology.

Electronic commerce (or simply e-commerce) is more than just buying and selling
products or services online. It encompasses the entire online process of developing,
marketing, selling, delivering, servicing, and paying for products and services. E-
commerce systems rely on the resources of the Inteet and other computer networks to
support every step of the process. Through an e-commerce system, customers can order
and make payment for the products or services they purchase online and receive support
at the company's websites through the Inteet. It also allows customers and suppliers to
participate in product development via Inteet newsgroups and E-mail exchanges. There
are three basic types of e-commerce applications: business-to-business (B2B), business-
to-consumer (B2C), and consumer-to-consumer (C2C).
Business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce is the online automation of purchase and sale
transactions from business to business. Many companies use secure Inteet or
extranets for their business customers and suppliers to access to their websites while
some may rely on electronic data interchange (EDI) systems. Cisco Systems, a leading
manufacturer of computer networking equipment, makes about 40 percent of its sales
online. These activities include order taking, credit check, production scheduling and
technical support to their customers. General Electric and the United Parcel Service
(UPS) are a few of many other firms that offer B2B e-commerce sites.
Business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce creates electronic marketplaces where
businesses promote and sell products and services directly to consumers. In this form of
electronic commerce, which has grown into a multibillion dollar market, businesses can
bypass intermediaries such as distributors or retail outlets. Companies like Amazon.com
and Dell Corporation offer e-commerce websites that provide virtual storefronts and
multimedia catalogs, interactive order processing, secure electronic payment systems,
and online customer support.
Consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce is an important alteative for business-to-
business or business-to-consumer e-commerce. In this form of e-commerce, consumers
can buy and sell products and services with each other in an auction process at an
auction website. Through an online auction site like e-Bay, one of the most successful
C2C e-commerce models, consumers or businesses can participate in or sponsor
consumer or business auctions. Other forms of consumer-to-consumer e-commerce
include personal advertising of products or services by consumers at electronic
newspaper sites, consumer e-commerce portals, or personal websites.

I left Korea 25 years ago for Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I was 17 years old at that time.
Now everyone knows how old I am. As any immigrant who left his or her own country for
a new place looking for a better life, I believe the first five years of my living in Canada
were the most challenging ones.
It did not take long time for me to realize that I would have to face one of the biggest
challenges in my life: the language problem. Although I had leaed English in high
schools for almost for five years before coming to Canada, I did not find it useful in day-
to-day living at this new place. My frustrations, stemming from lack of my English
conversation skills, included ordering food at a fast-food restaurant, phone conversation,
and conversations with neighbors.
The most frustrating moment was my inability to explain to other people when I was
accused of something I did not do. Knowing that I was not able to defend myself properly
due to lack of conversation skills, a few people often took advantage of me for their own
benefits.
However, throughout the years I met a lot of good people who gave me strength and
encouragement. Among those people in my heart I still remember Mrs. Overholts. Mrs.
Overholts was working in the Counsellor's Office at the high school I attended for two
years, and she gave me a lot of valued advice and directions in regards to my academic
life, as well as my personal one.
My dear friends in my high school also helped me not only to survive in the new country
but also taught me the new cultures and systems. Some of them went to the same
university as I did, while others went to different institutions. I am still in contact with
many of them, but wherever they are I believe they are making a positive contribution to
the society.
I owe the most to my father; my mother, who passed away seven years ago; and my
brothers. We were neither rich nor poor, but we stuck together all the time. My parents
taught me love, care, and kindness through their actions, not just their words. It was
from my family that I got strength when I was weak. It was my family who listened to me
ome a more mature and independent human being. I thank all of those who played a
role in some way to help me out during the transition period of my life.

What is business? A business includes all the activities involved to create and sell a
product or service. The most important functional areas of business include: accounting,
finance, marketing, production/operations, and human resources management.
Accounting is a field of business that records and reports the flow of funds through a
firm on a historical basis and produces important financial statements such as balance
sheets and income statements. It also produces forecasts of future conditions such as
projected financial statements and financial budgets, and evaluates the firm's financial
performance against the forecasts.
The finance area of business supports a firm in decisions conceing the financing of the
firm's business and the allocation and control of financial resources within the firm.
Major activities of finance include cash and investment management, capital budgeting,
financial forecasting, and financial planning. The cash and investment management
activities forecast and manage the firm's cash position and short-term and other
securities. The capital budgeting activity involves evaluating the profitability and risk of
proposed capital expenditures. The financial planning process evaluates the present and
projected financial performance of the firm and projects the firm's future financial needs.
The marketing function of business is conceed with the planning, promotion, sale, and
distribution of existing products or services in existing markets, and the development of
new products and new markets in order to better serve existing and potential customers
with quality products and services. It is also responsible for customer relationship
management, product planning, pricing, advertising, after-sale service, and market
research and forecasting.
The production/operations function focuses on the management of all activities
conceed with the planning and control of the processes producing goods or services.
These activities include purchasing of raw material and parts, product design, inventory,
manufacturing processes, facilities location and layout, quality control, and such other
logistics as distribution and transportation.
The human resource management function involves the recruitment, placement,
evaluation, compensation, and development of a firm's employees. With the main goal of
the effective and efficient use of a firm's human capital, the human resources
management function supports planning to meet the personnel needs of the business,
development of employees to their full potential, and control of all personnel policies and
programs.
While each of the aforementioned functional areas within a firm used to operate
somewhat independently with its own objectives and resources, information and other
computer technologies have integrated all business functions within the firm and created
something called "an Inteet worked e-business enterprise."

The Caribbean Sea is the large body of water that lies north of the northe tip of South
America. Within the Caribbean sea are many islands that have played an important role
in the history and culture of the Weste hemisphere.
By far the largest island in the Caribbean is Cuba. Cuba was formerly a colony of Spain,
but became independent in 1902. Cuba became a Communist country in 1959, when a
revolution overthrew an unpopular govement. After the revolution, many Cubans fled
to the United States. Today, the American city of Miami, in the state of Florida, has been
greatly influenced by Cuban culture. Tobacco is widely grown in Cuba, and the country is
famous for the cigars that are produced in the capital city, Havana.
The island of Hispaniola is located just east of Cuba. This island is divided into two
countries. In the west is Haiti, where the people speak a variety of the French language
that has been influenced by African languages. In the east is the Dominican Republic,
where the people speak Spanish.
Another important Caribbean island is Puerto Rico. This was previously a Spanish colony,
but it is now goveed by the United States. Many people from Puerto Rico have moved
to the mainland United States, especially the New York area.
In many other islands in the Caribbean, English is the main language. The largest of
these islands is Jamaica, which is located just south of Cuba. Most Jamaicans are the
descendants of African people who were brought to work as slaves on sugar plantations.
Jamaica is famous as the birthplace of the style of music called "reggae," which was
popularized in other countries by Bob Marley, a famous Jamaican musician.
Another important English-speaking Caribbean island is Trinidad. This island is located
just north of South America. The population of Trinidad is very diverse. The largest
groups of people are descended from people who came from Africa and India, but there
are many other nationalities also. Trinidad is famous for a style of music known as
"calypso," and for musicians who produce pleasant sounds by playing steel drums.
There are also many other, smaller islands in the Caribbean, each with its own unique
features. Many of these islands possess fine beaches, and are popular tourist
destinations. The warm weather of the Caribbean makes it a popular place for North
Americans who must live through cold winters!
