Abstract

To be able to penetrate the conditions for designing information systems it is relevant to start with definitions of what is information and what is an information system. The properties and purposes of information systems will thereafter be analysed in this paper by using metaphors and Miller's (1995) theory for living systems. Based on these analyses operative information systems and supportive information systems will be defined and dealt with in some detail. The conditions for these two different types of information systems will be stated. Thereby a foundation exits upon which analyses and conclusions can be made regarding the two rather distinctive types of information systems
