Limitations of the use of information technology in organizations

  

Answers


Faith
- Performance limitations. Although management information systems have the potential to increase overall performance, replacing long-time organizational employees with information systems technology may result in the loss of expert knowledge that these individuals hold. Additionally, computerized information systems are expensive and difficult to develop. After the system has been purchased, coordinating it – possibly with existing equipment – may be more difficult than expected. Consequently, a company may cut corners or install the system carelessly to the detriment of the system’s performance and utility. And like other sophisticated electronic equipment, information systems do not work all the time, resulting in costly downtime.
- Behavioural limitations. Information technology allows managers to access more
information than ever before. But too much information can overwhelm employees,
cause stress, and even slow decision making. Thus, managing the quality and amount
of information available to avoid information overload is important.
- Health risks. Potentially serious health-related issues associated with the use of
computers and other information technologies have been raised in recent years. An
example is carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful disorder in the hands and wrists caused
by repetitive movements (such as those made on a keyboard). Regardless of the control processes used, an effective system determines whether employees and various parts of an organization are on target in achieving organizational objectives.
