Abstract

Information Technology today penetrates all fields of human activity and is becoming a general element in the functioning of contemporary society. It is an instrument of multi-sided communication and information exchange and embraces all areas of life to an ever-increasing degree. The global dimension of information systems introduced into firms has created diverse communication media and is causing radical changes in world economic and organizational structures. Information techniques and tools are one of the most significant elements in these developments, deciding the global character of management, speed and transfer of information as well as speed of decision making. The development of computerization and telecommunications and the fusion of the two technologies provides managers with ever more effective information systems (adapted to the needs of the user, precise, fast and able to meet deadlines), which are tools in shaping products of high quality and profitability.
