Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Role of Information Systems Research Centers There is little doubt of the need for Management School-based research in the information systems field today. The field is very young academically, needing clarification, strengthening, or refinement of almost all of its so recently established frameworks, concepts and techniques. It is also, however, a rapidly changing field. From an academic viewpoint, therefore, it demands constant updating, revision and, often, complete redesign of the often tenuous knowledge we currently have. Significantly, from the viewpoint of the practicing manager, increased research in the field is also very desirable. The information systems function today is claiming a larger and larger share of corporate and non-profit organizational resources, both financial and managerial. Many believe that corporate bottom - line success will increasingly hinge upon effective use of information technology. Whether or not this is true is far from certain. What is certain, however, is that we must understand the managerial opportunities and problems which will develop with the new technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Information Systems and Organizational Change This paper discusses long-term change in organizations in relation to information systems. The aim is to explain why innovation is so difficult and to point towards effective strategies for managing the process of change. Many commentators have drawn attention to problems of implementation that result in systems being technical successes but organizational failures Urban (69), Grayson (23), Keen (32), Drake (18). Their analyses stresses the complexity of organizational systems and the social inertia that dampens out the intended effects of technical innovations. The growing body of research on implementation mainly deals with tactical issues: how to create a climate for change and build and institutionalize a specific system. This paper focuses on strategic questions: (1) What are the causes of social inertia? (2) What are the main organizational constraints on change? (3) What are the mechanisms for effecting change? The dilemma to be resolved is that effective implementation relies on incremental change, small-scale projects and face-to-face facilitation [Ginzberg (22), Vertinsky, et al. (71), Keen and Scott Morton (36)]. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Strategic Issues in Information Technology: Sourcing: Patterns, Perspectives, and Prescriptions The conventional wisdom in the information systems (IS) profession and the general business community appears to view information technology (IT) as an important component of corporate strategies. Extensive writings in professional journals and trade periodicals have consistently suggested that aligning IT strategy with business strategy is an important lever for success in the competitive marketplace. To move beyond casual observations, we at the Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a research study to examine the state of corporate IT strategy, with a particular focus on It outsourcing that is a current topic of considerable importance. During Fall 1991, we wrote to the CEOs of the Fortune 500 industrial and service corporations with an invitation to participate in our Study on Information Technology Strategy. We requested each of them to provide us with names of the senior manager with the overall responsibility for IT (CIO) as well as those heading three specific IT domains: application development, data center, and telecommunications/network. Subsequently, 209 corporations took part in our study (see Appendix for a complete list). The surveys were administered to the appropriate executives during Spring-Summer 1992. On November 19, 1992, we invited the CIO or a senior representative from each of the participating corporations to a symposium in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This forum was co-organized by the Center for Information Systems Research, MIT and the Systems Research Center, Boston University. The responses of the participants during this meeting were generally enthusiastic. In fact, our understanding of the research issues was enriched through the various face-to-face conversations with the participants at the symposium. This report is a summary of the research conducted on It sourcing strategy at Sloan over the last year. It integrates the results drawn from our surveys of Fortune 500 corporations with other studies we conducted using secondary data sources. Further, it incorporates some of the insightful observations provided by speakers and audience during the symposium. The report is divided into three major sections - patterns, perspectives, and prescriptions. In the first section, we highlight the key patterns of changes relevant to IT strategy that we observed during the study. Using these patterns as a backdrop, in section two, we delineate several central perspectives on IT outsourcing. These perspectives highlight the major considerations that should guide outsourcing decisions and actions. The third section develops a set of prescriptions for viewing IT outsourcing as an important component of IT strategy. We conclude with our view of IT governance as a broader way of considering IT outsourcing decisions. This, we believe, would constitute the logic for managing the IT function in the 1990s and beyond.

This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition covers all aspects of public health informatics and discusses the creation and management of an information technology infrastructure that is essential in linking state and local organizations in their efforts to gather data for the surveillance and prevention. Public health officials will have to understand basic principles of information resource management in order to make the appropriate technology choices that will guide the future of their organizations. Public health continues to be at the forefront of modern medicine, given the importance of implementing a population-based health approach and to addressing chronic health conditions. This book provides informatics principles and examples of practice in a public health context. In doing so, it clarifies the ways in which newer information technologies will improve individual and community health status. This book's primary purpose is to consolidate key information and promote a strategic approach to information systems and development, making it a resource for use by faculty and students of public health, as well as the practicing public health professional. Chapter highlights include: The Governmental and Legislative Context of Informatics; Assessing the Value of Information Systems; Ethics, Information Technology, and Public Health; and Privacy, Confidentiality, and Security. Review questions are featured at the end of every chapter. Aside from its use for public health professionals, the book will be used by schools of public health, clinical and public health nurses and students, schools of social work, allied health, and environmental sciences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Overview of the User Needs Survey Research Project The User Needs Survey is a major research project that has been underway at the Center for Information Systems Research since 1978. The study was motivated by the desire to better understand the managers who are the end-users of computer-based information systems and the issues involved in fulfilling their information needs. We wanted to know what user managers considered the strengths and weaknesses of the information systems (i/s) departments in their companies. We wanted to find out what types of systems user managers had currently, which of their tasks were suitable for computer support, what types of systems they were currently demanding, and what they would be requiring in the future.
