While the findings suggest that software group innovativeness can be improved by providing appropriate external information channels, this relationship is contingent on a software group's internal environment. The ch...

摘要:Based on responses from over five hundred user managers, this article investigates managers' demand for new application systems. To begin, the current situation is assessed from two aspects. First, how many systems by type do user managers now have and how appropriate are the systems. Second, for important managerial tasks, what support (by systems type) do users have and how appropriate are those systems. Then the two components of user managers' demand for new systems, the number of systems ...

摘要:In recent years there has been an increasing amount of attention paid to effective strategic planning of the information systems resource in many organizations. The motivation for this attention derives from a number of sources, especially the rapid rate of technological progress in computer and telecommunications facilities and the increasing application of these facilities to problem domains that are critical to organizational success. As a wide range of new opportunities become apparent, it...
