MANAGING GLOBAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2

Introduction

PepsiCo is a multinational corporate business with about 500 shareholders. The company

has expanded its reach to all the six continents of the earth which are North America, South

America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia. The operations of the company at the various

continents are simplified into multiple sub-divisions. Production of the drinks and their bottling

is carried out within the factories of PepsiCo. Suppliers pick the products from the

manufacturing plant and sell them to retailers who later sell these goods to the final consumers.

Global Information Systems

According to Buckingham et al. (1987), an information system refers to a system that is

capable of organizing, safekeeping, processing as well as passing across information to a

company (qtd. in Avison, & Myers, 1995). This system can be accessed by the public and

anyone who wants to seek such data. A global information system by extension refers to such a

system of information that is available across the globe. An information system that is managed

well by an organization is essential for any group because of the following reasons:

• It helps managers of PepsiCo recognize new trends in the market so that the company can

make adjustments to meet the unique market requirements.

• The information system also helps the organization in planning and controlling of the

market.

• Information systems also allow for quick supply of information.

• Information systems also help improve decision making quality
