Abstract

Considers the role of information systems and information technology (IT) within investment banks, based upon a survey of the literature and a small scale case study. Considers whether investment banks receive value for money from their investment in IT, and ways in which IT can be evaluated for its contribution to profitability. Concludes that failure to implement techniques for systematically identifying and qualifying IT costs and benefits has mede it difficult for them to determine the level of added value resulting from such investment and the contribution of IT towards the bottom line. Considers also what role technology plays in the strategic management process and concludes that it is essential to incorporate both information and IT strategy into the strategic management process, to ensue that IT is cooncentrated in those areas in which it cann add most value. Finally, considers the potential for deriving competitive advantage from IT

Abstract

As the corporate world becomes increasingly entwined with technological change and information systems, it is vital to examine the role of the information intermediary within such a context. The role of the trained information professional intermediary, whether a reference librarian, special librarian, on-line searcher or researcher, come under continual scrutiny as the corporate world undergoes radical transformation. This paper reports on a study which examines the role of the information professional within the library of a major academic business library. It has been observed that Wall Street functions almost entirely on information (Baldwin & Rice, 1997). Technology and the increasing need for a global perspective have challenged traditional corporate assumptions as the task of the contemporary business employee increasingly demands obtaining and working with information. In business environments, where the overriding goal is the economic progress of the company, information seeking must take place in rapidly changing, complex situations. The new business professional is not just someone familiar with the latest in management techniques. It is someone able to obtain, absorb and synthesize relevant information.

Abstract

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit INSYDER, einem visuell unterstützten Suchsystem im Umfeld der sogenannten Business Intelligence Systeme. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt dieses Beitrags in der Erläuterung der Information Retrieval- und Visualisierungsaspekte zur Unterstützung des Suchprozesses im WWW. Vorgestellt wird das Rankingverfahren, das Interaktive Relevance Feedback sowie die Beschreibung der Unterstützung des Benutzers bei der Formulierung der Suchanfrage mittels Visualisierung.

Content

This paper presents a visual information seeking system for the WWW called INSYDER. The aim of INSYDER is to find business information from the WWW. Information seeking - especially on the Web - is an imprecise process. Information seekers often have only a fuzzy understanding of how they can get the information they want. This paper focuses on the use of information retrieval and visualisation techniques of the INSYDER system to support the user in extracting information from the WWW, namely in formulating queries, refining and reviewing results

Neben den operativen Informationssystemen, welche die Abwicklung des betrieblichen Tagesgeschäftes unterstützen, treten heute verstärkt Informationssysteme für analytische Aufgaben der Fach- und Führungskräfte in den Vordergrund. In fast allen Unternehmen werden derzeit Begriffe und Konzepte wie Data Warehouse, On-Line Analytical Processing und Data Mining diskutiert und die zugehörigen Produkte evaluiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund zielt der vorliegende Sammelband darauf ab, einen aktuellen Überblick über Technologien, Produkte und Trends zu bieten. Als Entscheidungsgrundlage für den Praktiker beim Aufbau und Einsatz derartiger analytischer Informationssysteme können die unterschiedlichen Beiträge aus Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft wertvolle Hilfestellung leisten.

Abstract

Purpose - Potential and benefits of classification schemes and thesauri in building organizational taxonomies cannot be fully utilized by organizations. Empirical data of building an organizational taxonomy by the top-down approach of using classification schemes and thesauri appear to be lacking. The paper seeks to make a contribution in this regard. Design/methodology/approach - A case study of building an organizational taxonomy was conducted in the information studies domain for the Division of Information Studies at Nanyang Technology University, Singapore. The taxonomy was built by using the Dewey Decimal Classification, the Information Science Taxonomy, two information systems taxonomies, and three thesauri (ASIS&T, LISA, and ERIC). Findings - Classification schemes and thesauri were found to be helpful in creating the structure and categories related to the subject facet of the taxonomy, but organizational community sources had to be consulted and several methods had to be employed. The organizational activities and stakeholders' needs had to be identified to determine the objectives, facets, and the subject coverage of the taxonomy. Main categories were determined by identifying the stakeholders' interests and consulting organizational community sources and domain taxonomies. Category terms were selected from terminologies of classification schemes, domain taxonomies, and thesauri against the stakeholders' interests. Hierarchical structures of the main categories were constructed in line with the stakeholders' perspectives and the navigational role taking advantage of structures/term relationships from classification schemes and thesauri. Categories were determined in line with the concepts and the hierarchical levels. Format of categories were uniformed according to a commonly used standard. The consistency principle was employed to make the taxonomy structure and categories neater. Validation of the draft taxonomy through consultations with the stakeholders further refined the taxonomy. Originality/value - No similar study could be traced in the literature. The steps and methods used in the taxonomy development, and the information studies taxonomy itself, will be helpful for library and information schools and other similar organizations in their effort to develop taxonomies for organizing content and aiding navigation on organizational sites.

Abstract

In companies, people often work together in order to understand and change the business. Some of this is explicitly considered development work, with a focus an working for tomorrow. A common element of much development work - whether implicit or explicit - is the use of various types of models. In model work, there are a number of differences that affect the process and outcome of co-operative development work. Drawing an theories of signs, learning, and knowledge, this paper develops a conceptual framework of model work. The framework examines differences and alternatives within three areas: models, activities, and basic assumptions. Recognition and exploration of a larger part of the framework are suggested as important means to utilising the differences to facilitate understanding and change within the company.

Abstract

2 different Types of information systems, operational and management information systems (or decision making systems) are required to meet management's need for information. Examines the methods of measuring the value of the information produced by these systems. Suggests the net present value plus risk assessment approach for assessing operational information. There are 3 techniques collectively known as relative value of information approaches for assessing the value of decision making information

Abstract

Leading-edge techniques for implementing systems and products Tried-and-true project management techniques are fine when it comes to designing, coding, testing, and installing stand-alone information systems. But meeting the challenge of orchestrating the many technologies, departments, and personnel involved in the planning and implementation of information systems for today's distributed, cross-organizational, multi-platform environments requires the talents of an emerging new breed of coordinator, capable of building networks of cooperation for getting things done. Based on Howard Fallon's extensive experience as an implementation coordinator (IC) at corporations nationwide, this book clearly defines the vital role of the IC in today's downsized, decentralized organization, and: Helps you to decide if being an IC is right for you Arms you with IC techniques that can be applied to everything from reengineering legacy systems to client/server implementations Provides detailed guidance on planning and managing system and product implementations into the operational environment Offers expert advice and guidance on handling logistics, organizational issues, and company politics Introduces the Joint Implementation Process (JIP) - an innovative, highly effective group planning technique that keeps the implementation on track, on schedule, and within budget

Abstract

This book looks at the key skills that are required in organizations in the information intensive society; it also examines the power of information behaviour on the construction of different kinds of shared knowledge and social identity in a group. The book introduces the different dimensions of social capital that is structural and cognitive, and looks at the relational aspects of information behaviour in organizations. This book analyses experiences with two different case studies - in the financial and biotechnology industries - in order to gain additional insights in how the internal organization environment should be designed to support the development of the organization's intellectual capital. Key Features 1. Introduces social capital dimensions to the knowledge management framework 2. Provides empirical work on the new combination of social capital and organizational information behaviour. 3. Two different information sharing practices are presented: a claims handling unit (routine based work) and a biotechnology firm (expert work) 4. Develops social capital measures into qualitative information research 5.The book illustrates the importance of social aspects in ma She has worked as a visiting researcher at Napier University, Edinburgh, 2004-05. Her teaching and research concerns information seeking, information management in business organizations, and aspects of social capital and knowledge sharing in groups and organizations. She has published several articles and papers in these areas. Readership The book is aimed at academics and students at all levels in library and information science, as well as information management and knowledge management practitioners and managers interested in managing information and knowledge effectively.Contents Part 1: Theories of Information Sharing Information sharing in context Patterns of sharing - enablers and barriers Social navigation Part II: Two Practices in Information Sharing Introducing the two cases Claims handlers Expert organisation Part III: Insights into Information, Knowledge Sharing and Social Capital Dimensions of social capital in the two cases Social capital and sharing - building structures for knowledge sharing and its management Importance of the awareness of social capital in connection with information and knowledge sharing in today's companies.

Rez. in: Mitt VÖB 60(2007) H.4, S.95-97 (O. Oberhauser): "Die Autorin ist Dozentin am Institut für Informationswissenschaft der Åbo Akademi University (Finnland) und vertritt zur Zeit den dort vakanten Lehrstuhl. Ihr vorliegendes Buch geht zumindest teilweise auf einen längeren Forschungsaufenthalt an der Napier University, Edinburgh, zurück, wo die informationswissenschaftlich orientierte Forschung am Centre for Social Informatics, welches zum dortigen Fachbereich Informatik zählt, angesiedelt ist. Social informatics (nicht zu verwechseln mit Sozialinformatik, einem Terminus aus dem Gebiet der Sozialen Arbeit), bezieht sich auf die disziplinübergreifende Beschäftigung mit dem Design, dem Einsatz und der Verwendung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien und ihrer Interaktion mit institutionellen und kulturellen Kontexten unter Einschluss von Institutionen/Organisationen und der Gesellschaft. Sie wird von Vertretern verschiedener Wissenschaftsdisziplinen mit unterschiedlichen Themenstellungen bzw. methodischen Ansätzen betrieben. In diesem Umfeld ist auch das vorliegende Buch beheimatet. Zwar ist "information sharing" ein Begriff, der aus der Forschung zu dem breiteren Themenbereich "information seeking and use" bzw. "(human) information behaviour" stammt, doch macht schon der erste Satz des Vorworts klar, dass hier eine thematische Festlegung auf den institutionellen Bereich und damit eine Einordnung in das Gebiet des Wissensmanagements erfolgt ist: "How can organisations correspond to the current demands of effective information and knowledge sharing?" (p. ix). Die Herausforderungen ("challenges") werden im Hinblick auf das Verständnis, die Organisation und die Verwaltung von Wissen gesehen und in technische, betriebliche, persönliche und soziale Aspekte unterteilt. Die Konzentration auf die soziale Dimension, so die Autorin, sei heute besonders wichtig für eine kohärente Beurteilung von Informationsverhalten und -austausch im Unternehmen.
Das Buch gliedert sich in drei Teile. Im ersten Abschnitt, Theories of Information Sharing, erfolgt eine kurze Diskussion von Begriffen und Konzepten aus dem Bereich der kontextuellen Informationssuche, der Information im organisatorischen Umfeld, der Sozial- und Gruppenpsychologie, sowie vor allem die Einführung des Konzeptes "social capital" (soziales Kapital, Sozialkapital), eines aus der Soziologie stammenden theoretischen Ansatzes, als Rahmen für die Betrachtung der Informationsprozesse im Unternehmen. Hier wird Sozialkapital verstanden als die Werte, Normen und Netzwerke, die informationsbezogene Interaktionen möglich und wirksam machen und so die Basis für kollaborative Arbeit zur Verfolgung gemeinsamer Ziele schaffen (p. 30). Der zweite Teil - umfangmässig der größte des Buches - ist mit Two Practices in Information Sharing überschrieben und berichtet detailliert über Fallstudien, die die Autorin in zwei finnischen Unternehmen mittels einer kleinen Zahl qualitativer Interviews durchführte. Dabei wird eine Firma aus der Versicherungsbranche (als einer eher stabilen Branche) mit einem biotechnologischen Produktionsbetrieb (eher turbulent-expansives Umfeld) verglichen. Im dritten Teil, Insights into Information, Knowledge Sharing and Social Capital, diskutiert die Autorin die Resultate ihrer Erhebung, insbesondere im theoretischen Kontext des Sozialkapitals - so etwa die Motive für den Austausch von Informationen und Wissen. Natürlich wird Widén-Wulffs Studie vor allem jene interessieren, die sich mit dem betrieblichen Informations- und Wissensmanagement beschäftigen. Für Interessenten an "information seeking and retrieval" oder "human information behaviour" im Allgemeinen ist das Buch nur bedingt zu empfehlen, doch werden auch sie von den Hinweisen auf den überblicksartig gestreiften Forschungsstand profitieren können. Hingegen werden Rezipienten aus den klassischeren Bereichen des Bibliotheks- bzw. Informationswesens die Lektüre vermutlich als weniger leicht verdaulich empfinden. Der Ladenpreis von mehr als 55 Euro ist für einen Broschurband von knapp 230 Seiten im übrigen viel zu hoch."
