THE EFFECT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON MODERN ORGANIZATION

ABSTRACT

Information technology (it) come to spread everywhere it can be likened to a huge web, connecting all area by change. We may make significant changes in our process of doing business by using machines, but it is the change in every nature of what we do, brought about by the social change induced through the machines, that is the real meaning of technology to business.

As a result of the far – reaching changes in the technology. We can no longer think or talk usefully of just a computer. we must talk in the brother terminology of information technology.

In speaking of so wide area it is necessary to concentrate once rain areas as with view in examining in detail the effect of information technology (IT) in today’s business performance with a study of Zenith international bank.

With this in mind coupled with requirements of a project, this work has been divided into five chapters

In chapter one, an introduction not just into the topic at hand was made but also into the organization being used for a study – zenith international bank.

In chapter two, due to its wideness, I decided to concentrate on certain areas, I am going to discuss, primarily, the application of banking information technology (IT), I will also talk and discuss how management come to know and increase its capabilities in information technology (IT) (through training, development etc) and how and why our government should enact policies bordering round this new revolution this is to mention but a few.

In chapter three, the method of research used will be brought to light, the presentation and analysis of collected data will be computed in chapter four.

In chapter five, I‘ll then state my finding and recommendation. This is where this research work will be concluded.

CHAPTER ONE

Introduction

1.1 Background Of The Study

As technology continues to expand in offices across the nations, it’s effect both negatively and positively is greatly evolving evidence abounds to show that the economy is in a state of abject ruin.

This is due to high rate of fraud, intellectuals migration to the shares of other states,, corruption in our civil service.
