Information Systems have permeated through and coordinated dispersed value chains of almost all business sectors. Their impact is so enormous that information systems and technologies are not just for operational effectiveness but for enabling transformation of business, reorganizing the firm.
The magic of this field is that the benefits are to reach out to the remote corners of the world and beyond and break the divide among nations and people. Human lives are transformed on an enormous scale through education and employment - thanks to the reach of information technologies. Just this thought is enough for its people to carry on their daily work.
Such leaps of progress has been possible only by the people who work in this field day and night with a sense of appreciation for the magic that computers do to them on a daily basis. It is their ideals of making a difference that makes seemingly impossible things possible.
