The Impact of Computer-Based Information Systems on Managers' Work

Title: The Impact of Computer-Based Information Systems on Managers' Work

Research Question: How do computer-based information systems affect managers' work?

Methodology: The researchers used three models to understand the impact of information systems on managers' work: the Technology Impact Model, the Social Impact Model, and the Integrationist Model. They conducted case studies to gather data from different organizations and then analyzed the data to see how it fit into their models.

Results: The researchers found that the impact of information systems on managers' work is not a single, stable, and predictable outcome. Instead, it is an ongoing process that changes and evolves over time. They also found that managers' actions are not solely determined by outside forces; they can and do shape the systems in different ways.

Implications: The researchers argue that the impact of computer-based information systems on managers' work is not just a result of the technology itself, but also depends on the decisions managers make about how to use the technology. This means that managers can use the technology to shape their work in ways that align with their values and goals.
