IS (information systems) can help an organization to determine the capabilities of the organization, including technology, human resources, and financial resources. This information is essential in developing a business strategy that can adapt and respond effectively to changes in the market, customer demands, the company's mission, and organizational design. While IS may provide insight into market and customer trends, it is not the primary determinant of these variables.
