CHAPTER 6 VALUING ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION


VALUING ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION

ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION
  • ·        Comes at different levels and in different formats.
  • ·        Information granularity refers to the extent of details within the information. 
 

 
THE VALUE OF TRANSACTIONAL AND ANALYTICAL INFORMATION

TRANSACTIONAL INFORMATION- all the information contained within a single business processes or unit of work, and its primary is to support the performing of daily operational tasks.

ANALYTICAL INFORMATION- all the organizational information, and its primary purpose is to support the performing of managerial analysis tasks.




 
THE VALUE OF TIMELY INFORMATION

REAL TIME INFORMATION- means immediate, up-to-date information.
REAL-TIME SYSTEMS-  provide real-time information in response to query request.


THE VALUE OF QUALITY INFORMATION

·         Several issues with low-quality information, including:
1)    Missing information
2)    Incomplete information
3)    Probable duplicate of information
4)    Wrong information
5)    Inaccurate information
6)    Incomplete information

FIVE COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-QUALITY INFORMATION



 
FOUR PRIMARY SOURCES OF LOW-QUALITY INFORMATION:
  1.   Online customers intentionally enter inaccurate information to protect their privacy.
  2.   Different systems have different information entry standards and formats 
  3. Call center operators enter abbreviated or erroneous information by accident or to save time. 
  4.  Third-party and external information contains inconsistences, inaccuracies, and errors.
  


UNDERSTANDING THE COSTS OF POOR INFORMATION 
  1.  Inability to accurately track customers, which directly affects strategic initiatives such as CRM and SCM
  2. Difficulty identifying the organization’s most valuable customers
  3.  Inability to identify the selling opportunities and wasted revenue from marketing to nonexisting customers and nondeliverable mail. 
  4.    Inability to build strong relationship with customers-which increases buyer power.
