Introduction

In order to achieve the desired level of efficiency and competitiveness in a business, it requires extensive development and implementation of IT methods and systems. Each company operates on the basis of a particular business theory. This includes some ideas related to its goals and objectives, the business itself and the products or services it deals in, and the information about the potential consumers. The best strategy is to implement the business theory (mission statement) and to align all organizational practices in such a way that every step taken is towards the betterment of the business.

Discussion

Successful management of the economy on the organizational, regional and federal levels is directly dependent on the efficiency of the use of modern information technologies in administrative work.

If there are no IT systems and software, there is no way to determine as to what actions and solutions help in achieving the desired results. Apart form those; it may also result in wrong directions being followed by the organization which in turn mean that the organization suffers in the end (Stiroh, 2002, pp 1559-76)

Legal Constraints of IT implementation

For 50 years, the focus of the creators of IT have been collecting and storing data, their transmission, rendering and retrieval. However, the information revolution has led to a radical change in the tasks assigned to IT staff, reorganization of their activities and sometimes to the transfer of support services to core business processes. This complexity has given rise to the various legal constraints that have imposed a check on the use of IT. IT cannot be used as readily as it has been employed in the ...
