the desktop market — and for good reason. Despite making big steps in the last several
years, it's still tricky for the uninitiated to use, and the user interfaces of the various
distributions remain far inferior to those of Windows or Mac OS X.
While Linux very well may be technically superior to these proprietary operating systems,
its weaknesses mean that most users will find it more difficult and less appealing to work
with. That means lower productivity, which will likely cost far more than purchasing a
proprietary operating system with which your staff is familiar (Rubens, 2017).
The Linux operating system that can be used through user interfaces of the various
distributions, remains complicated and much lower than those of Windows or Mac OS X.

Read the following article on the impact of Information Technology (IT) on organizations’
performance written by Jack Nilles from the Center for Future Research and find the
hypothesis this author is trying to make about IT. Don’t forget to also list the main
supporting details or explanations he provides to prove his idea.
IT creates new opportunities for innovation in products and services. Services which used
to be delivered in person can now be delivered over networks. Among the key levers are:
✓ resequencing: including parallel processing of data-bases
✓ reusability: using information captured for one purpose (e.g. transactions), and
using for others (e.g. customer targeting)
Organization Culture
Newer types of IT such as electronic mail and groupware are creating significant changes
in the way that information flows around group ware, and between them and their
