INNOVATION AND EFFICIENCY

Information Systems, Innovation and Efficiency Modern Organization

Abstract

This document is focused on the relationship between information systems and changes in the organization of modern enterprise and between businesses. Emerging organizational paradigm involves additional changes in several dimensions. The revolution in information systems deserves special attention as a cause and effect organizational change. This is related why do some knowledge-based organisations perform well in terms of innovation but less in terms of efficiency?

Depending on the value of information transmission and processing, or "MIS solution" information transfer, or organizational redesign solution "of moving decision-making power, can be an effective approach to achieve the required collocation of information and decision rights. When information systems change radically, we can not expect the optimal organizational structure, which will be unchanged. Given the relationship between information, incentives and decision rights in a single mode leads to new understanding and better organizational planning. articles in a special issue address various aspects of this interaction. Despite significant progress, our understanding of the economic role of information systems in organizations is in its infancy. We conclude that the successful design of modern enterprise requires a further narrowing of the historical gap between research in the field of information systems and research in economics.

Information Systems, Innovation and Efficiency Modern

Introduction

Organization of work in terms of transformation. In many industries, mass production of large, vertically integrated, hierarchically organized firms is giving way to more flexible forms of organization, both domestic and industrial structures. Work often performed through a network of smaller, more focused companies. As a result, structure weakly coupled sub-organizations blur the boundaries of both firms and industries.

In the past, the industry is dominated by large, vertically integrated companies such as IBM and Digital Equipment who created the products and services across the value chain - from chip-level all the way to delivering solutions. The vertical structure is now replaced by a series of layers, each of which is, in fact, a separate branch. Value is generated by the ever-changing coalitions, where each coalition member specializes in their field core competency and uses it with a tactical or strategic partnership. Internally, the command structure replaced the traditional hierarchical form, and the Silicon Valley model of internal organization, it is clear winner. internal incentives are increasingly based on performance, and this further blurs the distinction between inter-and intra-firm contracts. In general, the modern enterprise is undergoing a major restructuring (Adler, 2008, p. 365).

In this short article, we briefly discuss the newly emerging organizational paradigms and their relationship with the prevailing trends in information technology (IT). We argue that this is an important driver of this transformation. Finally, we place the studies selected for this special issue of the journal Organizational Computing, in this context.
