Abstract:
Information technology (IT) has revolutionized the way in which organizations are run. Despite the fact that old paradigms are still used in business administration, IT has changed the ground rules of strategic management, marketing, logistics, organizational design, human resource management, accounting and so forth. The old strategic models developed during the industrial era are things of the past and it would be unwise not to take into account the role the Internet has had in marketing frameworks. It is also impossible to ignore organizational architectures, mainly virtual and process-based ones or even not to appreciate that logistics and supply chain management have to be innovated within the context of information technology.
