A survey of IS academics and practitioners was conducted to identify key IS issues. The list of key IS issues used in the survey includes five new issues that were not present in previous surveys. These issues are Software Reengineering and Maintenance, Client/Server Computing, IS Education and Training, the Internet, and IS Ethics and Legal Issues. Due to the transition of IT platforms from mainframes and microcomputers to network computing, telecommunications and network-related issues are ranked high in the survey. The long-term trends in the ranking of issues over prior surveys indicate that the percentage of technical issues in the top ten is rising while the percentage of managerial issues is declining. A comparison of practitioner and academic rankings of IS issues reveals that academics rank managerial and emerging issues higher than practitioners.
对IS学者和从业人员进行了一项调查,以确定IS的关键问题。调查中使用的关键信息系统问题清单包括五个以前调查中没有出现的新问题。这些问题是软件再造和维护、客户端/服务器计算、信息系统教育和培训、互联网以及信息系统伦理和法律问题。由于IT平台从大型机和微型计算机向网络计算的转变,电信和网络相关问题在调查中排名较高。与以前的调查相比,问题排名的长期趋势表明,技术问题在前十大问题中的百分比正在上升,而管理问题的百分比正在下降。比较信息系统问题的实践者和学术排名可以发现,学术界对管理和新兴问题的排名高于实践者。

The study examines the correlates of burnout in systems IS professionals. While there has been little previous research in the area of burnout among IS professionals, anecdotal evidence shows that burnout causes a negative impact on the peiformance of IS employees. These negative impacts can take the form of cynicism, dissatisfaction, and turnover McGee, 1996. In this study we empirically examine the correlations of burnout with several work attributes that are considered to be either antecedents or consequences of burnout. Two role stressors are examined in this study-role ambiguity and role conflict. These variables are theorized to be antecedents of burnout. In addition, two dimensions of organizational commitment-affective and continuance commitment-are examined as possible consequences of burnout. The emotional exhaustion subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory is used to measure burnout in 312 IS professionals. Both role stressors were found to co "elate positively with burnout. In addition, affective commitment was found to be negatively correlated and continuance commitment positively correlated with burnout.
本研究考察了系统信息系统专业人员职业倦怠的相关因素。虽然之前很少有关于信息系统专业人员职业倦怠的研究,但坊间证据表明,职业倦怠会对信息系统员工的绩效产生负面影响。这些负面影响可以表现为玩世不恭、不满和离职。在本研究中,我们实证检验了倦怠与几个工作属性的相关性,这些工作属性被认为是倦怠的前因或后果。本研究考察了两种角色压力源——角色模糊和角色冲突。这些变量被认为是倦怠的前因。此外,组织承诺的两个维度——情感承诺和持续承诺——被检查作为倦怠的可能后果。采用马斯拉克职业倦怠量表中的情绪耗竭子量表对312名it专业人员进行职业倦怠测评。研究发现,这两种角色压力源都与职业倦怠呈正相关。此外,情感承诺与倦怠呈负相关,持续承诺与倦怠呈正相关。

Accessibility, security and portability of computer software and electronic data affects the integration of technology with our business, intellectual and personal lives. As software becomes increasingly popular in the workplace and at home, measures need to be put in place to encourage the legal use of software. Many software vendors have attempted such encouragement through their license agreements. But these written statements are often ignored or make little sense to those who attempt to understand them. Other deterrents of software use, including copy prevention techniques, dongles and time locks, have also been attempted, but have not been overwhelmingly successful. Some other means must be provided to educate the world on the implications of software piracy and encourage legal uses of software. Therefore, an analysis of ethical, legal, technical, managerial and economic issues, consummated in the proposed Software Asset Management Approbation Model, provides a theoretical view of why inappropriate uses of software must be discouraged by everyone who utilizes the benefits of computer software. The recommended framework for the development and implementation of organizational software asset management provides the groundwork for legal and cost effective uses of software.
计算机软件和电子数据的可获取性、安全性和可移植性影响着科技与我们的商业、智力和个人生活的融合。随着软件在工作场所和家庭中越来越受欢迎,需要采取措施鼓励合法使用软件。许多软件供应商试图通过他们的许可协议来鼓励这种鼓励。但这些书面陈述往往被忽视,或者对那些试图理解它们的人来说意义不大。其他阻止软件使用的手段,包括防复制技术、加密狗和时间锁,也曾被尝试过,但并没有取得压倒性的成功。必须提供一些其他的方法来教育世界关于软件盗版的影响,并鼓励合法使用软件。因此,对伦理、法律、技术、管理和经济问题的分析,在拟议的软件资产管理批准模型中得到完善,提供了一个理论观点,说明为什么每个利用计算机软件好处的人都必须劝阻不恰当地使用软件。为组织软件资产管理的开发和实现推荐的框架为软件的合法和成本有效的使用提供了基础。

The implementation of a systems development methodology SDM is one of the more difficult paths that many organizational managers have been traversing without benefit of guidance. This research project contains the results of a survey of participants on actual SDM implementation projects using an instrument based on interviews of experts in SDM implementation. The data collected was analyzed, using factor analysis, which identified five factors to consider during SDM implementation: Understanding Methodology Specifics and Benefits, System Personnel Manager Involvement and Responsibility with Organizational SDM Transition, Use of Models, Functional Manager Involvement/Support, and External Support. By paying close attention to aspects of these five factors, organizational managers can help their organization through the major change management phases of' readiness, adoption, and institutionlization of the changes caused by SDM implementation.
系统开发方法SDM的实现是许多组织经理在没有指导的情况下所经历的更困难的道路之一。本研究项目包含对实际SDM实施项目参与者的调查结果,使用基于SDM实施专家访谈的工具。使用因子分析对收集的数据进行分析,确定了在SDM实施过程中需要考虑的五个因素:理解方法细节和利益,系统人事经理参与组织SDM过渡的参与和责任,模型的使用,职能经理参与/支持,以及外部支持。通过密切关注这五个因素的各个方面,组织经理可以帮助他们的组织通过主要的变更管理阶段,即由SDM实施引起的变更的准备、采用和制度化。

Group differences have often been cited between information system professionals and junctional-business professionals. Now perspectives of what constitutes business rules must be added to the list of group differences. In many organizations,junctional business professionals and information systems professionals disagree as to what constitutes a business rule. Functional personnel express business rules in terms of how business processes are defined and constrained. Alternatively, information system professionals view business rules in terms of the constraints that the rules place on manipulating the organization's data resources. Each of these perspectives is essentialfor the effective management ofafirm' s resources, but each perspective-independent of the otherfails to acknowledge the interreliance of business processes and the information systems that support them. This research develops a theoretical basis for this gap based on structural learning theory's definition of directive rule types: problem definition rules and solution rules. Structural learning theory is used to illustrate how these perspectives can be bridged. Based on the resulting model, the paper discusses the knowledge, skills and abilities that information systems professionals must have to enable bridging the gap.
群体差异经常被引用到信息系统专业人员和连接业务专业人员之间。现在,必须将构成业务规则的透视图添加到组差异列表中。在许多组织中,连接业务专业人员和信息系统专业人员对业务规则的构成意见不一。职能人员根据如何定义和约束业务流程来表达业务规则。或者,信息系统专业人员根据规则对操纵组织的数据资源所施加的约束来看待业务规则。这些观点中的每一个对于企业资源的有效管理都是必不可少的,但是每一个独立的观点都没有认识到业务流程和支持它们的信息系统之间的相互依赖性。本研究基于结构学习理论对指导性规则类型:问题定义规则和解决规则的定义,为这一差距提供了理论基础。结构学习理论用于说明如何将这些观点连接起来。基于所得到的模型,本文讨论了信息系统专业人员必须具备的知识、技能和能力,以弥补这一差距。

Organizational memory information systems have recently received considerable attention in information systems development. As yet little research has been reported on the methodology used for the analysis and design of organizational memory information systems. This paper describes an object-oriented method for modeling organizationalmemory information systems. Six concepts that support organizational memory information systems are discussed. They are: document, episode, cognizance, goal, mnemonic instrument, and integration. These concepts are harmonized into a unified object-oriented paradigm. The proposed modeling method extends the traditional information systems analysis into the context of organizational memory information systems. It is usefulforthe development of organizational memory information systems for organizational learning, surveillance, and decision making in general.
组织记忆信息系统近年来在信息系统开发中受到了相当大的关注。迄今为止,关于组织记忆信息系统的分析和设计方法的研究报告很少。本文描述了一种面向对象的组织记忆信息系统建模方法。讨论了支持组织记忆信息系统的六个概念。它们是:文献、情节、认知、目标、助记工具和整合。这些概念被协调成一个统一的面向对象范例。提出的建模方法将传统的信息系统分析扩展到组织记忆信息系统的环境中。它对组织记忆信息系统的开发非常有用,可以用于组织学习、监督和决策。

The Current Status of the IS Discipline: A Survey of American and International Business Schools IS学科的现状:美国和国际商学院的调查

Questions of IS's status as an academic discipline have been debated within and outside the IS community since the inception of the field. Strangely, members of the IS community find ourselves asking those same questions as did our peers some 25 years ago. The community has answered critical questions relating to reference disciplines, dependent variables, and the building of a cumulative tradition. Yet we are still grappling with such issues as our status in relation to and interaction with other disciplines, IS practice in the business environment, the role of IS in business school curricula-and in some cases the survival of IS departments-and a new issue, our place in the developing international business arena. This study surveyed over 1,000 business school deans and IS department heads in the United States and over 50 overseas countries to determine the current status of the IS discipline. The survey queried respondents concerning the status of IS curricula and research issues in their institutions. Analysis indicates that differences exist between academic methodology in North American and International institutions in both curriculum and philosophical approaches to degree requirements. Universally, IS scholars believed that the future of IS as an academic discipline is more certain than in the fie ld' s early years, although there is a wide range of opinions as to the optimum areas for academic exploration.
自该领域成立以来,IS作为一门学科的地位问题一直在IS社区内外争论不休。奇怪的是,伊斯兰国社区的成员发现自己问的问题和25年前我们的同龄人问的问题一样。社区已经回答了与参考学科、因变量和累积传统的建立有关的关键问题。然而,我们仍在努力解决一些问题,如我们与其他学科的关系和相互作用、IS在商业环境中的实践、IS在商学院课程中的作用——在某些情况下是IS系的生存——以及一个新的问题,即我们在不断发展的国际商业舞台上的地位。这项研究调查了美国和50多个海外国家的1000多名商学院院长和IS部门负责人,以确定IS学科的现状。该调查询问了受访者关于他们所在机构的IS课程和研究问题的现状。分析表明,北美和国际院校的学术方法在课程和学位要求的哲学方法上都存在差异。IS学者普遍认为,IS作为一门学科的未来比该领域早期更加确定,尽管对于学术探索的最佳领域存在广泛的意见。

This paper reports on a survey of literature on the implementation of information technology IT, primarily in small businesses. The result of this survey is the identification of key factors that impact an IT implementation, with a special focus on the infusion stage. Infusion is the last stage of a suggested IT implementation model. This stage, representing IT implementation success, is important because studies show that increasing the depth and breadth of IT penetration into a small business should lead to increased efficiency and effectiveness. From this literature review, we develop a conceptual model showing how the infusion stage is evaluated using a stepwise scheme of analysis. The model is an extension of the Ein-Dor and Segev model originally used to evaluate management information systems and later, end-user computing.
本文报告了对信息技术实施的文献调查,主要是在小企业中。这项调查的结果是确定影响IT实施的关键因素,特别关注注入阶段。注入是建议的IT实现模型的最后一个阶段。这一阶段代表了IT实现的成功,它很重要,因为研究表明,增加IT渗透到小型企业的深度和广度应该会提高效率和有效性。从这篇文献综述,我们开发了一个概念模型,显示如何使用逐步分析方案来评估输液阶段。该模型是Ein-Dor和Segev模型的扩展,最初用于评估管理信息系统,后来用于评估终端用户计算。

"In most business organizations today, when groups of executives meet, they gather in a room that is little different from the one in which their predecessors met a hundred or more years ago. Technology is evident only in the electric light, the air conditioning, and perhaps a telephone. The information available during the deliberations is a few memoranda or a notebook of financial and other reports. They may receive verbal briefings made with the aid of charts or slides. However, as discussion proceeds around the table and various alternatives are considered, the decision makers have to rely principally on what is in their heads and what has been told them." Gray et al. 1981 in one of the early papers on GSS/ GDSS research. After more than a decade of advances in GSS research the above description is still accurate in most companies. If relevancy strictly means having a significant impact on the business world then GSS research appears to have had minimal impact. In this paper we try to understand the reasons for the low impact, point out areas of success, and look for directions for the future. Several of the points raised in this article are well known and some of our recommendations are already being implemented independently by many researchers. The contribution of this article is in presenting a comprehensive and formal discussion of the "state of the GSS field" based on an analysis of IS research on GSS. Our goal is to motivate constructive forward-looking debate on this important topic. To promote such debate we have prepared a working paper on a web site to allow readers to further explore our GSS literature database see Appendix A.
“在今天的大多数商业组织中,当高管们开会时,他们聚集的房间与100多年前他们的前辈们开会的房间几乎没有什么不同。科技只在电灯、空调,也许还有电话中体现出来。审议期间可获得的资料是一些备忘录或财务报告和其他报告的笔记本。他们可以接受借助图表或幻灯片所作的口头简报。然而,随着讨论的进行和各种备选方案的考虑,决策者不得不主要依靠他们头脑中的想法和别人告诉他们的东西。”Gray et al. 1981,在GSS/ GDSS研究的早期论文之一。在GSS研究取得了十多年的进展之后,上述描述在大多数公司仍然是准确的。如果相关性严格地意味着对商业世界产生重大影响,那么GSS研究的影响似乎微乎其微。在本文中,我们试图了解低影响的原因,指出成功的领域,并寻找未来的方向。本文中提出的一些观点是众所周知的,我们的一些建议已经被许多研究人员独立地实施。本文的贡献是在分析is对GSS的研究的基础上,对“GSS领域的现状”进行了全面而正式的讨论。我们的目标是推动就这一重要议题进行建设性的前瞻性辩论。为了促进这样的辩论,我们在一个网站上准备了一份工作文件,让读者进一步探索我们的GSS文献数据库(见附录a)。
