3IS & IT MANAGEMENT IN TESLA MODEL
Introduction:
Information System (IS) has emerged as one of the most preferred choice for the
organisations in the current era. The adoption is based on the advantage that the IS offers to
the organisations that includes efficiency, accuracy, fast operations and others (Pearlson,
Saunders & Galletta, 2016). The discussed advantages are offered by means of automation
and hence, it becomes necessary to evaluate the organisational IS. Another notable term that
is establishing itself is the “Strategic IS (SIS)”. SIS are also IS system but are designed to
offer competitive advantage to the organisation by enhancing the organisational operations
and processes (Arvidsson, Holmström & Lyytinen, 2014). The discussed paper offers an
insight in the SIS and management structure of the Tesla INC, a global leader in sustainable
vehicles and power solutions. The paper will discuss the governance structure along with the
processes & policies of the subject (Tesla) and measure their compatibility with the
regulatory requirements. Special attention will also be offered to the corporate officials and
the role they play. Additionally, the focus will also be given to the risk management
strategies of the deemed organisation and the report will be concluded with potential
recommendations (if needed) for change management after discussing its impact.
