ESSAY ON: Information Technology and its Effect on the Chemical Industry

Number of Pages 21

This research paper: A 21 page paper assessing the value of chemical companies’ IT functions. The Bhopal disaster still would have occurred had the Internet existed in today’s commercial form at the time of the accident in 1985, but one can only speculate that the former Union Carbide would have been able to manage it better and perhaps save some of the lives that were lost. Internal and external pressures, the tightening economy and the continued trend to globalization all have brought about business changes that are systemic and likely permanent, and the chemical industry’s expansion of its IT capabilities focuses extensively on security and managing risk. IT plays a significant role in serving and monitoring the triple bottom line business model that Dow uses and likely will be instrumental in influencing other chemical industry organizations to adopt as well. The paper also discusses the growing importance of IT in managing organizations’ supply chains and monitoring their environmental effects. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
