Cases arise, however, due to economic constraints or the desire to standardize, in which an organization directs its subunits to implement a system as is. In such a case, organizational change is mandated and must be managed as such. Certain units of the U. S. Forest Service have been successful in developing a process to manage the implementation of a standardi...

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：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...
