摘要：A concept called information management has been discussed for many years by computer and management scientists. Implementing this concept may revolutionize organizations and have a profound effect on organizational decision making. Since the technology needed to implement sophisticated information systems is now available, managers need to address the potential impact of this innovation on their organizations. This article presents two scenarios that may help managers to anticipate the effect...

摘要：This study attempts to validate the stages of growth hypothesis by analyzing data concerning the benchmarks that were prescribed by Nolan [15]. Although the hypothesis was not validated using the entire set of benchmarks for each stage, individual benchmarks were related to various DP management issues. The joint relationship of user awareness and technology to various management issues was also assessed. In addition, the planning and control techniques that have been used in the stages of gro...

摘要：This article provides a review and synthesis of the recent literature in computer based message systems (CBMS). It describes the problems associated with the current methods of communication and discusses how CBMS attempts to solve these problems. The article then presents some estimates of the costs of CBMS and potential problems that could slow down the implementation of these systems. The article concludes by outlining a methodology for developing CBMS.

摘要：Despite the importance of the role of the Chief MIS Executive, little is known about the Information Needs of Top MIS Managers. This article uses a Critical Success Factors (CSF) approach to explore the information needs of these managers. It has been widely speculated that top MIS Managers are remiss in their use of the technology they provide to others. This article also reports on a study of the formal information systems used personally by chief MIS executives and contrasts these results w...

摘要：Decision support systems (DSS) have become an increasingly important type of computer-based information system. However, there has been limited research on management's role, in DSS approval and administration. Because of this, the authors recently investigated eighteen decision support systems and report the findings here. The specific areas explored include motivations for developing a DSS, methods for evaluating the desirability of creating a DSS, planning and organizing for building. a DSS...

摘要：Are natural language systems for database queries meeting their goals?, and, are these goals appropriate? The recently completed Advanced Language Project at New York University combined a field experiment with two laboratory studies to examine these issues by comparing performance between subjects using the formal database language SQL and subjects using the prototype natural language system, USL. This article describes the design and results of the larger laboratory experiment. The results p...

摘要：The data dictionary system is a documentation source that is useful for management reviews of existing and proposed systems, EDP audits, and system development functions. Early data dictionary systems had limitations that reduced their effectiveness and contributed to their limited usage. Many of these limitations have been or are being resolved with the result that evolving data dictionary systems offer many benefits to management and EDP auditors. This article evaluates the features, potenti...

摘要：In a field study of thirty-two business application systems, the relationship between the time spent in various phases of the development life cycle and the outcome of the development was examined: Results indicate that systems which spent more time in the analysis phase required less time to code, resulted in greater user satisfaction, and were developed in agreement with established budgets and deadlines. These results suggest preferred strategies for the development of application systems a...

摘要：The credibility syndrome is a special case of MIS development failure with a distinctive set of symptoms and causes. In credibility problems, the directors of data processing - their management approaches and systems development philosophies - play an important role.
