摘要：The small number of truly successful Information Systems departments is well known. Part of the problem clearly lies in the management and direction of the Information Systems department in an organization. The organizations with successful Information Systems departments appear to have some elements in common. These elements include defining the department's role and responsibilities, structuring its basic approach, establishing management direction, developing a plan, and development of good...

This paper presents the results of a study which examined the organizational context of the information services function. The authors attempted to identify those organizational characteristics that are associated with the structure of the information services fu...

摘要：A comprehensive framework for Management Information Systems (MIS) that attempts to define the domain of MIS research is proposed. The framework draws extensively from existing MIS frameworks and organizational theory concepts and definitions. Validation of the framework is accomplished by categorizing a cross-section of MIS literature within the framework.

摘要：A multiattribute utility approach is adopted to assess the value of an information system. Various economic analyses of the value of information are reviewed and the conceptual problems regarding the definition of this value and some measurement difficulties are discussed. A list of possible utility attributes is proposed for a reporting system value assessment, add for each attribute a measure and a utility function is suggested. Some techniques which constitute a joint utility function are p...

摘要：Between late 1977 and April 1979 the State University of New York at Albany was able to successfully move from completely manual systems to a very contemporary and integrated online Financial and Accounting Management Information System (FAMIS). The development of FAMIS involved the application of innovative organizational and technological approaches which contributed significantly to the success of the project. For example, the University utilized a systems, user, and management team in its ...

摘要：This article identifies six MIS design approaches, ranging from no user involvement to considerable user involvement. It also examines the justification for their use under different conditions. The six approaches are merged with Gorry and Scott Morton's [10] MIS framework and Simon's [23] classes of decision making to create a contingency model for MIS design. The contingency model provides for MIS design leadership to be dependent upon type of decision making. A broad view of MIS design is t...

摘要：This article traces the efforts of a development team seeking to define and install a timely cost-effective communications network in a situation that promised little in potential hard dollar savings. The Information Systems approach selected involved some newer technologies in combination with some older, almost prosaic, techniques. The article shows how value-added networks, non-simultaneous communications, voice/data sharing, ASCI protocols and the electronic PBX were combined to produce a ...

摘要：Focusing on a manager's goals and critical success factors has been advocated as an approach to defining senior and middle managers' information requirements. In this article a field study is described in which the planning processes in a corporation were used as a mechanism for identifying goals, critical success factors, and performance measures and standards, i.e., information requirements for managerial control. A general approach generated from the field study is described and the advanta...

摘要：The high development and maintenance costs, and the late delivery experienced by many organizations when developing large software systems is well documented. Modern software practices have evolved to overcome many of the technical difficulties associated with software development. To a large extent, however, the high costs and schedule slippages can be traced to management, not technical, deficiencies. This article develops an approach for managing the software development effort that exploit...
