as the question goes "why do you think?", ill give my opinion.
for me there are some factors that can affect an IS and create failures in the system. some common personal failures can also be a major failure for the IS.
* mechanical and technical problem - if ever a company is undergoing a transaction and the physical system fails, the transaction will be interrupted, not unless there is another system that monitors the transactions and duplicates the task at the same time.
* failure to monitor transactions and tasks - an IS needs to be checked if it still is undergoing the proper procedures, if not, the basis or the backbone of the system will be violated resulting to unwanted outcome of the procedure.
* weak system security - an IS needs to be secured in order for it to undergo the right procedures of the system, if anything can permeate the system due to lack of security, the system may experience malfunction.
* failure to update the system - the IS needs to be checked if it is still able to manipulate the system along with the updates of an institution. if not, the company will not be able to dynamically step-on forward with there task. they will not be able to work continuously using there very own IS.
* human error/negligence in applying IS - the IS will be affected if even one of the participants in the system commits an error in implementing the given system. it is always important to orient the people under the system about the flow of the procedure to prevent human error.

What do you think will the 21st -century corporations look like?
Today, now, we are living in the 21st century. A lot of things have changed since then. The humble machineries of the past have evolved into a more powerful version. We cannot deny the fact that we are living now in an information age. Modernization can be seen just about anywhere.
These information age gave us a lot of things that we should be thankful for. Technological advancements
have help us in more ways than one. And also, with these development, corporations are leaning more on the option of using these faster and in some aspects, more reliable technology than people.
In my own point of view, this should not be the case. For as we know, and it has been stressed numerous times that people are the most important and they play a vital role in the success of a company. Although these technologies greatly helped in improving a corporation, people are far more superior that those things. For technology follows a strict guideline in which they follow no matter what, for they are programmed to do so. People, on the other hand, are more flexible. They can see what is best for the success of a corporation and they can change things when they see fit or for the best of the corporation.
The bottom line is, in a 21st corporation, the people should not be undermined just because of the new technology. For we know, they can make or break a corporation..
