摘要:

For more than a decade, data base management systems (DBMSs) have been proclaimed as the panacea for data integration and redundancy problems. Are organizations reaping the benefits of data base technology? What specific data resource management tasks have they failed to address effectively? A study of 276 organizations seeks to address these questions and to describe and diagnose the data resource management problems that corporations face today.

摘要:

Information technology makes it easier than ever to collect, store, and disseminate personal information, then use it to carry out business and political decisions. Federal legislation limits corporate and government manipulation of personal data, and private companies are finding that they must do the same or risk lawsuits from irate customers, clients, and rejected prospects. This article explores the concept of privacy, describes the major computer threats to personal privacy and the changing legal environment, and recommends how organizations can establish internal privacy codes for their own protection.

摘要:

For the past three decades, IS managers have been faced with the tasks of honing their craft, improving productivity, and serving as the keepers of information technology for the corporation. For the most part, they have done a commendable job. However, the rules of the game are changing. Old solutions are no longer extensible to current problems, and today's problems are unlike any faced in the past. This article takes a fresh look at what the top priorities for IS managers should be in the coming years.

摘要:

IS managers know that the performance of individuals in systems development groups changes under various circumstances. People often have lower performance levels in groups than their individual capabilities would indicate. This article examines the effect of team size on systems development productivity and overall job performance and recommends techniques to mitigate the negative effects of large team size through the use of such tools and techniques as computer-aided software engineering and object-oriented programming.

摘要:

During the 1980s, microcomputers provided capabilities for such personal computing and information-handling tasks as financial analysis, word processing, and data base management. The 1990s signal the beginning of a major development period for information technology that supports people working in small groups. As collaborative work groups and business teams become more prevalent, the demand for group decision support systems, or GDSS tools, will increase. The next five years should see a rapid dissemination of GDSS technology into organizations.

摘要:

Expert systems extend the current commercial advantage of information systems from clerical to intellectual applications. As expert systems increasingly find acceptance in the marketplace, the focus is no longer on successful research, but on successful project management. Return on investment is a critical factor that must be taken into account for a successful expert systems implementation. A great deal of preparation must be done, however, before technology transfer can be carried out in an organization. This article discusses the process of transferring expert systems technology.

摘要:

Information technology has been judged the single most underrated force for change in business strategic planning. A major part of the problem is how organizations (and even public-sector businesses) go about assessing information technology's potential to improve overall business performance. An enhanced IS strategic plan that addresses related risks can effectively guide the organization to capture the full impact of information technology.

摘要:

Two major areas of concern for IS managers are the use of outsourcing and the often-expressed view that little competitive advantage has been gained from information processing. These developments have begun to mirror events in other professions from a bygone age. By looking outside the IS field for some perspective, we may avert a similar outcome and better define the role of IS in the organization.

摘要:

Users may now be more proficient in developing their own applications, but they aren't equally knowledgeable about the importance of using and following computer standards. Creating these standards is still the job of IS staff members, who should keep in mind that users are willing to use standards if they meet the particular needs of the various user departments.
