Essay Instructions: The paper needs to follow the guidelines listed below.

Determine what actions and resources need to be used to achieve the desired future objectives. To be able to identify areas within a business that can contribute the most, we need to look at the company value chain. This can be a value chain of a business unit or the whole company. The business value chain is part of the larger industry value chain.

A good example is the grocery industry. We have cash registers that scan the information on the customer (like Kroger), then scans the items that are purchased. These are checked against the inventory levels and automatically place an order to the grocery supplier of the items that fell below predefined levels. Here we have the customer, business and supplier represented in the value chain.

Do a similar analysis on a company that describes the business and industry value chain. Be sure to identify the areas in this chain where you feel the greatest potential for applying IS/IT.
