Security/Threats
The issue here is How important is IT security to management. In the automotive industry it's important to be able to keep vital
documents of the company or prototypes of designs safe from industrial espionage or malicious hackers. The way for this to be done
is through with Communications (networks) controls, rewalls or encryption programs.

The secont is What are the impacts of IT security breaches? The impacts of security breach in any organisation can be disastrous in
terms of industrial espionage or malicious phishing programs acquiring information about members of the organisation or employs
in order to use their information for internet fraud. A catastrophic breach can be easily avoided with rewalls and separate back up
drives.

spies. In this case through agrremnts made with the government in companies owned building BMW has the right to have an
electronic surveillance system but must have a sing informing the persons entering the buildings about the cctv.

The second is Ethical Issues. BMW as multinational company known thought out the world is also directed by its image in ethical

issues.
Since BMW has a fun club in the internet it is obliged by the law and for ethical issues to have the information
of the members

strictly
condential and not be exploited for commercial reasons.

E-commerce
The issue here is the Data security & ethics. BMW uses e-commerce in order to have information on the customer's like's dislike's and
be able to be more attractive to customers. All the information's are gathered by business intelligence programs. Internet users
entering the company's site are being monitored on what they browse the data collected are being stored in order to be analyzed in
the design of an attractive oer. All information gathered is a part of the legal authority on the company's web site.
The second issue is Privacy. Information gathered for the research of the company is to be kept condential and private for the
company use only. In my opinion the company should keep the record for the use of new ideas and records of royal customers.
Global MIS/Risks
The issue here is Consider Partners Collaboration -expertise, funds, etc. In global companies operating in dierent countries in the
world means co-operations with several other organizations or parties. Since BMW has factories in Germany Austria South Africa and
America they need to have partners with vehicle construction knowledge in order for them to be more ecient and improve the
quality. This why in countries that BMW has factories BMW it has educational programs with technical, managerial and specialist
training as well as providing assistance for higher education.
The second issue is the Partner and supplier relationship management. BMW operates factories and dealerships in all over the world
so it is very important to have a constant communication with all the partners and the suppliers. The best solution is a global system
network between all the partners and suppliers using web services in order to be informed on any supply needs and the daily
development.

that make full use of the internet. Of course all those information are to be used only by company's special personnel for the design
of a new product or the improvement of an existing one.
Major manufacturing companies that want to expand in to other countries either for its market of for the cheap labour they use
globalisation systems in order to be in contact with all the factories all over the world. Global information systems like extranets XML
web services electronic data interchange etc. in order for BMW headquarters to have full knowledge of all production in all of the
factories scattered across the world they need to have a clear direct link with all the factories and dealerships. Its also important to

In the end as we can see through the big history of BMW from 1916 to today BMW is a colossal in the industry area with factories all

the world and the need for information systems and technologies in order for the headquarters in Munich
to coordinate the

However the future of the e-commerce and information system is a long way a head because a new technology is being developed so
the potentials of more eective communications and more improved security systems for the newly developed threats to the security
of a system.
So in the end global organisations like BMW will constantly rely on information and communication systems and new technology in
order to operate though out the whole world.
