Chapter 1 Assignment: Growing Companies Infographic

Introduction

Data consists of raw facts, such as an employee number, total hours worked in a week, an inventory part number, or the number of units produced on a production line. Several types of data can represent these facts. Information is a collection of data organized and processed so that it has additional value beyond the value of the individual facts.

For example, a sales manager may want individual sales data summarized so it shows the total sales for the month. Providing information to customers can also help companies increase revenues and profits. For example, social shopping Web site Kaboodle brings shoppers and sellers together electronically so they can share information and make recommendations while shopping online. The free exchange of information stimulates sales and helps ensure shoppers find better values.
