post 5 - Conclusion

Conclusion

As conclusion, what can I say about all the topics discussed above is all are interrelated to each other whereby the information system needs medium in delivering it that contributes to the management of the system especially in organization that runs business. Then, the business has its own challenges and barriers that are competitive between the companies in the market. In order to remain their business, they need to compete. Next, it is also involve the globalization as one of the factors in managing the business. Globalization itself gives wide impact to all over the world, not only on the business but in all aspects related such as educational, cultures, environment and so on.

In this subject or course named Human Resource Information System (HRIS), I learn about the technology, the system that involves in managing the information and also about the world usage of information that comes from globalization effects. This course has opened my mind and my eyes about the real world. What has happening now and how fast the changes of information technology takes place. Before this, I just view on the world without thinking deeply and beyond about what happen to the world today. It is interesting to know how fast the changes happen and reasons why we also should change according to the world changes so that we will not left behind.

I as a university student should view this as a need of life that I must know and aware about the information system and changes from time to time. This is because I am one of the persons that will suits with the situation, the new era that technologies change rapidly. The changes of technologies will affect the speed of information being spread out. All these also lead to the development of cultures and country to be advance country like Japan and others.

post 4 - Globalization

Globalization

This topic will bring us beyond of our views. I just remember that for the first time I heard the word of “globalization”, I think about globe that refers to the earth. The time was I in primary school. I know nothing about globalization at that time. Now, let’s look at a few definitions of globalization. Globalization is the key social, economic, political, and cultural process of our time. (Shanti K. Khinduka.2008). Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. (The Levin Institute.2013).

From my view on globalization, it is good because it will standardize the usage of something that able to make the users use the same thing. For instance, globalization has had the effect of encouraging a common language for the world. That language is, at least for now, English. Even though it is only the fourth most spoken native language on Earth, it has become the language of business. A vast majority of the world's Internet traffic, mail and mass media is in English. (Kent Ninomiya). English is a language that now being communication language in all over the world. It helps us to be easy in communication with the people from different countries, races and cultures. For me as a student, I view it as a good way to have a standard language to connect to each other so that whenever I want to speak with my friends that come from different countries, I will able to communicate with them by using the English language.

Besides, in term of education, globalization also gives good effect on it because we able to search the best educational facilities in the world without any obstacles or hindrance. It is actually beyond our views and unlimited.
