Negative point of view
Existen personas que creen que los procesos únicamente significan una carga adicional de trabajo innecesaria e ineficiente. Creen que la mejor forma de manejar un proyecto es contratar a la mejor gente, darle los recursos que pidan y dejar que trabajen a su manera. Creen que los procesos no son necesarios ni que se requiera prestar atención a la manera como se esta llevando el proyecto. Esto se puede representar mediante la siguiente grafica:
Sin embargo, esto es incorrecto ya que los procesos si se llevan a cabo correctamente, solo llegan a formar parte de la etapa inicial, no de todo el proyecto. Además, los proyectos que no establecen procesos al inicio, donde el costo es mínimo, de cualquier forma terminan estableciéndolos en etapas intermedias o finales, donde el costo es mucho mayor y a veces hasta se pierde todo el proyecto.
Algunos escenarios muestran porque es mejor llevar a cabo los procesos desde un principio:
Control de cambios: Un ejemplo es cuando informalmente se accede a realizar cambios en etapas intermedias del proyecto, sin embargo, no se controlan esos cambios sino hasta el final que es cuando tanto el alcance del proyecto como el presupuesto para el mismo se han expandido.
Aseguramiento de calidad: Los proyectos que no llevan a cabo procesos para eliminar defectos en las etapas iniciales, caen en ciclos de pruebas interminables, donde constantemente se reúnen los miembros del proyecto para tratar de corregir los defectos que no se detectaron a tiempo. Por consiguiente, muchas veces se saca al mercado software defectuoso y en el peor de los casos ni siquiera alcanza un nivel de calidad con el que se pueda sacar al mercado.
Revisiones no controladas: Los defectos que no se detectan a tiempo pueden ocasionar que el software sea rediseñado y reescrito durante la etapa de pruebas. Como esto no es algo planeado, el proyecto se ejecuta sin ningún plan o control.
Seguimiento de defectos: Existen casos donde no se corrigen defectos debido a que estos son olvidados, por lo que el software se libera aun cuando estos defectos hubieran sido fáciles de corregir.
Integración de sistemas: Los componentes desarrollados por separado no se integran sino hasta el final del proyecto. Sin embargo, al momento de integrarlos, las interfaces entre los componentes no corresponden y se tiene que hacer trabajo adicional.
Control de código fuente automatizado: Se establece el control del código fuente hasta el final, por lo que se sobrescribe código.
demonstrated in figure 1, the IMIS is composed of sub systems that operate within the inter-ministerial arrangement. Through the establishment of an inter-sectors flow of information, the system links the Ministry of Higher Education with other government agencies that have interests in the higher educational sectors.

Technology Adoption: Organizational Learning What makes the adoption of technology in some firms a successful process, while others experience difficulties? Based on a retrospective case study, this paper compares the process of adopting horizontal drilling technology in two large Canadian oil companies; one a more successful and the other a less successful adopter of technology. Adoption is viewed as a process of organizational learning which proceeds in a feedback loop from observing, interpreting
competition.(5) The authors are quick to point out “blue oceans were seldom the result of technological innovation per se; the underlying technology was often already in existence.” (5) Another key point Kim and Mauborgne make is that creating blue oceans build brands that can last decades.
E-commerce versus E-business The rapid development of the Internet has caused significant changes in organizational management and design, businesses processes, the ways in which companies compete, new business and revenue models, new products and product delivery channels, marketing processes, customer relations, and other basic processes and activities.

At Boston University, computer science is a unique way to problem solve. Peter Denning claims the field is a true science. For Avi Cohen and Bruria Haberman, computer science is the language of technology. These definitions are varied, but also interconnected. For Peter Denning and Cohen and Haberman, computer science corroborates with the “scientific paradigm,” but for distinctive rationales: one as the embodiment of the use of the scientific method
Role of Technology as a process enabler 3.1 IT strategies Mulcaster (2010) elaborated that the commitment and management of information system groups should be uniform with the enterprise dependency on technology. The author identified three major strategies which act as a facilitator of any processes within an enterprise. Internal strategy is concerned with the promotion of coherent organizational structures.

CPS Energy, from the case study, used smartphones to improve, and maybe reengineer, business processes and bring workers closer together. CPS employees started using their smartphones
well as accounting for the business processes are mainly included in the application solutions.
