Discussion 2 BU 204

Please complete the following steps for your discussion post and response.

Many would argue that the effective use of information systems is a competitive requirement for businesses today. Businesses rely on an array of technology systems in order to function on a day-to-day basis. Because of the different operational roles within a business different functional areas have different requirements for these systems. This can be a unified system or a collection of more specific applications. In this week’s discussion will be examining how these parts work together and how an organization can insure that all functional roles understand what the others are doing.

Considering this please address the following prompts in your discussion:

• Why do all the business units in an organization that uses technology need to be involved in developing management information systems?
• How does that relate to the goal that a “knowledge-management repository” can be used throughout the organization?
