The Prada example offers critical lessons for managers. While it’s easy to get seduced by technology, an information system (IS) is actually made up of more than hardware and software. It should not be forgotten that an Information system also includes data used or created by the system, as well as the procedures and the people who interact with the system.

A suitable combination of these five components is essential to executing a flawless information system rollout. Before investing it is important to give attention to financial considerations. The company should forecast the return on investment representing the amount earned from an expenditure—of any such effort. It is crucial that system designers thoroughly test the system before deployment. Prada’s store appeared to have chosen the technology because it seemed fashionable rather than functional.

Question1. Analyze the above case and investigate the reasons for the failure of Information systems. Evaluate the status of five components of an Information system at Prada to demonstrate the reason for information systems failure. Give recommendations to Prada on how can it can overcome the failure of Information systems.
