Executive summary
The study demonstrates the ideas of managing information system. This is helpful to deal with
processing, storing data. Here, a policy proposal is developed to understand the impacts of
information systems. The study intends to demonstrate specific issues in policies. This is created in
response to various open and targeted calls that are expected for the proposal. The study outline the
common sector of study under which as the research on managing information systems fails, present
state of knowledge can be referred and continue further debates on the topic. Moreover, different
ethical and ethical considerations for business to solve strategic issues are also discussed here. Apart
from this different international perspective of the vital problems are also determined here. Further,
various limitations and strengths of organizations are analyzed in this study.

1. Introduction:
Managing information system deals with business process, people, and technology for
recording, storing and processing information. This is helpful to produce regular decisions.
The following study is a policy research proposal. It is the approach towards understanding a
particular problem in policy. It is developed in response to an open and targeted call for proposals.
The proposal examines the effect of information systems. Then it discusses various social
and ethical considerations for strategic solutions. Next, diverse global perspectives for those
strategic issues are identified. Then multiple strengths and limitations of the organizations are
understood through this report.
2. Analyzing the effect of information system and consequent changes to
managerial roles and competitive advantage due to information system:
2.1. Impact of information system:
From an economic point of view, the information system is the factor of production. This is
freely substituted for labor and capital. It automates the process of creation, less labor and capital to
generate a particular outcome (Laudon & Laudon, 2016). For instance, transaction cost theory states
that companies grow in size since one is able to retrieve specific services or products internally at
less expense than through external ones in the market. Through lowering the expense of market
participation or transaction costs information technology permits organizations to retrieve services
and goods in a cheaper manner from eternal sources that through internal ways. Thus information
technology is helpful for firms to raise revenue through shrinking in size. The agency theory sees the
forms as the nexus of contracts among various self-interest individuals. They are supervising
carefully to assure that organizational interests are pursued (Reason, 2016). In this way, information
technology is able to help in reducing agency costs. This is a cost to coordinate various people and
