A study of Aligning 'Information Technology Based Information Systems' and 'Human Based information Systems'

通过对前人研究的综述和我们在日本的案例研究，提出了以下假设。公司越是将IT投入实际应用，信息系统（IS）实践中的人力和组织因素就越重要。信息系统实践的成功取决于人和组织的因素，而不是信息技术（IT）。另外的发现是，目前最有用的信息系统设计方法并不总是那么有用，因为它往往把人和组织因素作为给定的变量。此外，我相信基于IT的信息系统并不总是那么有用的公司的增长，即使它本身被认为是一个优秀的、先进的系统，但本研究认为，信息系统研究和实践的最重要的关键是基于信息技术的信息系统与组织信息功能之间的互补性和一致性，这是由人和组织因素执行的。因此，本研究建议，为了提升资讯系统研究与实务的重要性，企业资讯系统的基本架构应包含“以资讯科技为基础的资讯系统”与“以人为本的资讯系统”，而“以人为本的资讯系统”则包含“资讯分享与组织学习机制”、“以人工为基础的资讯系统”与“组织文化”。

Through the survey of antecedent research and our case study in Japan, the following hypotheses are developed. The more the company put IT to practical use, the more important the human and organizational factors are in information systems (IS) practice. Success of information systems practice depends on the human and organizational factor rather than information technology (IT).Then, these validities were confirmed through our empirical study. Additional findings are that the most present IS design methodologies aren't always so useful, because it tends to treat the human and organizational factor as given variables Moreover, I convinced IT based information system isn't always so useful for the growth of company, even if it was valued highly as an excellent and advanced system in itself.This research reached that the most important key of IS research and practice is the complementariness and alignment between IT based information system and the organizational information function, which are performed by human and organizational factor. Therefore, this research suggested, in order to enhance the significance of IS research and practice, the fundamental framework of business information systems need to be consisted of 'IT based information system' and 'human based information system', which is consisted of 'information sharing and organizational learning mechanisms', 'manual based information systems', and 'organizational culture'.
