Everyone knows that every organization can exist only if it is profitable. To make a profit, large and small enterprises of various forms of ownership are looking for various possibilities to optimize production and increase its efficiency.
Stereotypical views on computerization and enterprise IT
Practically, everyone believes that the computerization of organizations, the intensive development of its IT sphere is a real panacea that allows you to immediately improve the work of an organization and increase profits many times over. In practice, this is far from always the case.
Few people think about the fact that for the computerization of an enterprise it is necessary to spend a sufficiently significant amount of funds. Few people analyze the necessity and feasibility of these costs. Thinking stereotypically, some executives may spend money on computerizing an organization without making the necessary calculations to establish a realistic picture of the profit-and-loss ratio.
Are meaningful costs effective?
This is precisely the main idea of the dissertation written by Max Polyakov. The research of a young entrepreneur and scientist is based on Paul Strassmann's work "In Search of IT Efficiency" in two parts. The author of this work gave numerous examples of cases when huge funds were spent on IT, computerization, and the profit from this was minimal. That is, not every company can withstand such a burden of one-time costs and one should not expect that these funds will immediately return. It should not be unambiguously believed that computerization will magically generate profits right away. Careful preliminary calculations must be made.
Excessive profit spending can be a fatal mistake
Most often, carefully analyzing its internal and external environment, opportunities, one can understand that investing in other areas of the enterprise will bring much greater profit.
Of course, IT and computerization are important for an organization, but they need to be introduced gradually, carefully observing the results of innovations, avoiding costs that exceed profits.
