  1. IT Systems 1 ITS are the tools organizations use to meet the MIS challenge to provide perfect service at customer moment of value (Lundberg) 2.aVF’smarket response strategy (@Walmart) provided competitive advantage (Levi) by integrating IOS, TPS, DSS (O’Connell)  development of integrated IT systems involves SDLC including C:B considerations of all business processes ---opportunity costs: carrying costs of unsold inventory,stock-outw.r.t. perfect service at customer moment of value 2.b Organizations that do not use ITSto be more efficient in performing business processes (e.g. market response/ inventoryreplenishment) so that provide perfect service at the customer moment of value lose competitive advantage in the Innovation Economy (Business Week: 1Aug05, 31Jul06; K-mart : Wal-Mart; Levi’svs Vanity Fair; LLBeanvs Penny’s; CIO 1Aug02) 2.cLevi’s response with its own ITS for turn-around with Wal-Mart (CIO 15Jul03) illustrates WhyITDoesMatter (PerryEllis)  Cases are like parables to teach difficult concepts (JC used everyday stories to explain faith, hope, love to primitive people)  many did not comprehend because they closed their eyes (Pharisees) or turned away (richyoungman) YOU must look to see, listen to hear, and think to understand (Global Business Credential: listen & learn) 3Real world organizationalstructures are complex because of their super-ordinate goals (4a) and complex missions (5a).  Key is not to discuss information flows nor ITS until 6a 4adifferent organizational levels and functional areas are assigned to make different kinds of decisions that require different kinds of information and coordination of activities (4b -battle:war; dean:chair) 5avariety of product lines within mission increases complexity of organizational structures (5b - CSSentities) 6aConsequently, informationflows are complex. DifferentITS are designed to provide differentinformation between / to differentorganizational levels / product divisions / functions so organizational activities can be integrated(CIO CASES) 7aITS are designed to perform the information processing tasks (5Cs) that support these complex information flows (Vanity Fair) 7c Therefore, understanding & using IT systems begins with “gettingthearchitectureright” –identifying the information flows needed to support essential business processes (FLYZIK, CIO of DHS, CIO 1Dec02)  Essential to begin CIO cases with understanding the business processes (problems) then use ITS to support the information flows 8aBasic typesof ITSsupporting information flows in complex organizations  studied to provide guidance for benchmarkingw.r.t. bestpractices (KPMGprovided to CSS)  Your task in CIO CASES is to identify or suggest the application of best practices including ITS

  3. “Therealvaluewill come from getting theright information(good, clean, timely, reliable data) to theright people, at theright time, and giving those people thetools to find the meaningin it.” Declaration of Integration AbbieLundberg Editor-in-Chief CIO Vanity FairillustratesITSaretoolsto meetMIS challengein the information age IT Systems in Organizations: tools to meet the MIS challenge

  4.  The strategy“ …was built on the backbone of a fullyintegratedsystemwithallthe elements (5Cs) needed to provide the rightkind of informationat right time tomake the rightkind of decisions.” O’Connell, CEO Indian Motorcycle  CIO 15Jul03 assignment 

  5. Vanity Fair Uses ITsystems as tools to Beats the Pants off Levi Strauss Sys-2.a Introduction O’Connell CEO, Indian • VF’s market response strategyreplenishes inventory in 3 days (speed) with only best-sellingstyles (force) which increasesROI • “We get more sales from the same amount of inventory…”1.3 • Levi’s takes month • LL Bean & Sears similar supply chain problems email • Actually 3 integrated IT systems performingall5Cs: • transactions processing systemcaptures & cradles basic data, thencreates information about transactions • interorganizational systemcommunicates retailer (Wal-Mart) sales information to VF by linking computers • decision support system creates, communicates, conveys the styles, sizes and related groups of goods to ship

  6. Vanity Fair Uses ITsystems as tools to Beats the Pants off Levi Strauss Sys-2.b Introduction • ITS are tools that provide competitive advantage • Organizations not using ITS to manage information more efficiently so provide perfect service at (VF.5) customer moment of value lose competitive advantage in the innovation economy Bus.Week 1Aug05 • K-martvs.WalmartDrayer, CIO 1Aug02 • JC Penny (shirts all buttoned up) WSJ 11Sep03 • CIOcases are parables to teach difficult concepts (JC).

  7. Levi’s responded to VF with its own IT Transformation Sys-2.c Introduction “what customers wanted…when they are needed, notbefore and certainly not after.” 42.10 • Levi’s plan to market through Wal-Mart (100mshoppers / week required an IT transformation of its supply chain so: 41.A,3 • Replenish on time – speed • with what the customer wants - force43.1 • Lack of information translated to poor performance 43.7 • Couldn’t track product • 65% on time product delivery • Illustrates: Why IT does matter! HBS 10Sep03 • Same systems asVF (TPS, IOS, DSS) withdashboard (MIS) 44.0-1 • “right style in the right place at the right time” -- (95%) 45.6 • “Today, there are encouraging signs Levi’s is turning around.”45.6 • Sales grew for the first time in 6 years and Levi’s in 45.6 Fashionworld’slist of top ten brands preferred by young women ProquestAsssignmentLevi’s got its Jeans into Wal-Mart CIO 15Jul03

  8. Why IT Does MatterHarvard Business School McFarlan & Nolan 10 Sep 2003 Sys-2.d Introduction • Technology’s transformingpotential1.7 Levi’s 1.1: BroadVision • The most important thing to understand is that IT has enabled every industry’s transactioncosts (TPS, CIS) to decrease continually as with Perry Ellis 18, 21.7 • creating the feasibility of products and services not possible in the past(Rx: EMR telemetry; Jackpot; Stonyfield)

  9. Why IT Does MatterHarvard Business School McFarlan & Nolan 10 Sep 2003 Sys-2.d Introduction • Technology’s transformingpotential • Organizationboundaries have become permeable, organic (grow as needed), and global through IT networks and the Internet (2.1) • Providing opportunities for improvement of organizational structures(2.6) such as information partnerships and virtual organizations • Observed:VF:Wal-Mart; Levi’s:Wal-Mart; Penny’s+TAL all CIO cases

  10. Why IT Does MatterHarvard Business SchoolMcFarlan & Nolan 10 Sep 2003 Sys-2.e Introduction • Technology’s transformingpotential • IT can change the rules and assumptions about competition, providing opportunities to expand customer value (MIS Challenge) and create strategic advantage (Dell, Toyota)2.2, 2.6 • Unless nurtured and evolved, IT-enabled competitive advantage doesn’t endure(Vanity Fair vs. Levi’s)2.5

  11. Why IT Does MatterHarvard Business SchoolMcFarlan & Nolan 10 Sep 2003 Sys-2.e Introduction • Evaluating these opportunities (threats) is vitally important, non-boring work. 3.2 • New technologies (e.g. RFID) will allow things to be transformed in nonlinear ways and give companies the opportunity to differentiate themselves (all CIO cases) 2.53.2 • These jobs will be of unparalleled importance in the decades ahead and prototypes of leadership skills needed for survival 3.6 • Only limit is management team’simagination2.4 Global Business Credential: Thinking Change Brain

  13. Summary & Review Vanity Fair & Levi’s • VFused 3 integrated IT systems that performed all5Cs to achieve competitive advantage • By providing perfect service (right jeans) at customer moment of value (right time and right place) • Levis’s responded with its own IT systems • Same IT systems as VF with Dashboard to provide right information to right people at right time • Changed on time from 65% to 95% & in FashionWorld top 10 • Why IT still matters, just as with Preferred Sands “by streamlining the gathering, use and communication of data… to eliminate charges incurred from idle rail cars containing sand.”

  14. UsingIT systems to meet the MIS challenge requiresunderstanding: Sys-3 Introduction • Organizational Structures are complex because of complex, superordinate goals • Information flows in organization are similarlycomplex • IT systems(ITS)are designed to perform information processing tasks (5Cs) to support these complex information flows in complex organizations

Whitehead • Functional ITSareintegratedcombinationsof IT systems intended to performall5Csso that they support decision making and innovation in complex organizations with complex information flows.Vanity Fair & Levi’s Connell, CEO Indian • “Getting the right information to the right people all the time …startsby identifying ❶ the business processes … ➋ the information that is most consumed by those processes and produced by those processes.Onlyafterthat …will they begin to ➌ look at IT enablement of the business processes.”Flyzik, DHS

  40. Sys-16.b Some Final Thoughts ITS in Organizations Your team: Team of dreamers (ChemSecure @ NASA) • New technologies (RFID) will continue to give companies the opportunities to differentiate themselves. Innovation Economy BW 1Aug05 • Only, the senior management team’s imagination limits new IT-based opportunities. • Evaluating these opportunities as well as thinking through their implications and timing is vitally important, non-boring work . • These jobs will be ofunparalled importance in the decades ahead. Why IT does matter!McFarlan & Nolan HBS 10Sep03

  41. Sys-16.b Some Final Thoughts ITS in Organizations • CIO CASES are examples (parables) to teach difficult concepts. Jesus Christ used everyday stories to explaining faith, hope, love to primitive people. • Many did not comprehend because they closed their eyes like the Pharisees or turned away like the richyoungman. • You must look to see, listen to hear, and think to comprehend.
