One of the most memorable short videos that I have watched in a long time was “The Challenges of Getting Requirements Right.” This video portrays a scary reality of the difficulties of communication in the workplace. It is a common issue to misunderstand the intent of another person lets say, a manager. This misunderstanding leads to one issue after another. This blog article will evaluate how businesses overcome the issue of miscommunication through the use of information technologies.

To facilitate understanding, companies employ management information systems to better manage its employees and data for decision making. The steps needed to produce, for example a swing, can be achieved by collecting data on swings produced in the past and then building a new model based off of past data. Employees trained in business information technology may manipulate data in the context of their company, and produce   educated decisions backed by their analysis of the data. I think information technology can bridge certain gaps between communication, particularly geographical gaps such as long distance communication. In terms of decision making, I think information technology can actually be ineffective. Businesses must consider the context before applying information technologies.
