At a time when most people use information and communication technologies in their everyday lives, surely, by a novel look at management issues, it is expecting that managers would not simply overlook the influential role of communication and information technologies. The widespread insertion of computers and their accessories into the official and administrative construction of organizations, and the expansion of the public approach of the managers to present information inside the area of the World Wide Web, even on the surface, is something that should be tactfully and with caution looked at. Moreover, the proper approaches must be designated and implemented in the existing platforms, so that the effective tools in the progression of the ICT indices within the organizations, either qualitatively or quantitatively put in to use at best.
Today, almost everyone has heard the famous phrase "information is power". In this theory, the basic idea grows from the point that an informed person or organization can better, faster, and more rationally conform to variable environmental conditions and make suitable predictions, also they can make correct decisions based on the received information. But in this way, it is worth noting that unreasonable economic costs on the organization must not be levied. Concerning the variety of scientific and technical expertise, it has to be said that the computer science and production processes as well as the distribution of information, have so much expanded and become complex that no one alone can have the necessary knowledge and expertise in every information and communication tools. Today, each organization, and above them, each industry in proportion with the economic, social, personal, and cultural situation of their society considers certain objectives about creating the platform of novel information and communication technology, and necessarily, not all industries have the same goals, either in design and exploitation or span and variety, they bear significant distinction. But naturally there are common goals which are:
- Developing a stable and competitive economy
- Upgrading technological management in industry and making benefits from electronic activities' advantages
- Executing an extensive network and infrastructure plan
- Enhancing the quality of IT services and promoting the standards of the automation industry while sustaining the human identity of personnel
- Enhancing the rate of personnel's presence in the decision-makings of expert layers rather than the manual and mechanical work that can be left to the machines
- Providing personnel to work in a technological context containing the systematic activity that transforms all working hours into on-line hours undertaken within the domain of the Internet of Things and telecommute
- Knowledge-based job community
- Presenting personal services without place and time restraints and ...
Additionally, the development of official, service, cultural, educational, commercial, technical, and professional facilities equally to all personnel, can represent another part of the growing organization's goals in the area of information and communication technology.
But what is pretty obvious in organizations and industries is the movement of several people to the world of technology and the provision of importing it to organizations, while another group, believing that the smart machine wants to take the place of humans, is still wandering around the paperwork. Not only this tremendous contradiction does not lead the organization to technology but also causes the cessation and drop of technical knowledge plus interest in technology in the organization. But where is the problem? The absence of specialized teams in organizations that can afford services with high-quality for the personnel at the proper time and place has caused organizations to be always involved in contract agreements to perform the primary task of the organization, which is unavoidably possible to be destructive for smart systems in the long term.
Brand-new information and communication technologies are surely introduced to an organization by expertise forces outside the organization. But more important than the introduction of technology is its preservation and advancement within the organization in the long period so that when an organization is affected by technology can receive maintenance and support services of 7 * 24 and willingly continues working with technology.
Kaveh South Kish Steel Company, regarding the advantage of novel industrial technologies and being targeted as the top three companies producing steel in Iran, holds pioneering notions in the realm of information and communication technology plus systems development.
