Abstract

While some firms are developing computer-based Executive Information Systems EIS to support key executives and managers, a large number of organizations are presently not using EIS. Our focus here is on structural factors associated with the adoption of EIS capabilities that support managerial communication, coordination, control, and planning. A national survey was conducted to collect data for the empirical study. Our analysis uses data from 210 organizations representing adopters and non-adopters of key EIS capabilities. Adopters of each of the four EIS capabilities have higher levels of environmental dynamism, heterogeneity, and hostility than their non-adopting counterparts. EIS adopters with higher levels of environmental pressures appear to be implementing distributed architectures to deliver EIS applications. Furthermore, adopters of EIS capabilities for purposes of coordination, control, and planning have larger IS departments than non-adopters. It also appears that larger organizations are implementing EIS capabilities for planning purposes to a greater degree than smaller organizations. They also have a greater proportionate representation from the for-profit sector. Implications of these findings are discussed along with directions for future research

行政信息系统采用的结构背景

虽然一些公司正在开发基于计算机的行政信息系统环境信息系统，以支持主要的行政人员和经理，但许多组织目前没有使用环境信息系统。我们在这里的重点是与采用支持管理沟通、协调、控制和计划的EIS能力相关的结构性因素。在全国范围内进行调查，收集数据进行实证研究。我们的分析使用了来自210个组织的数据，这些组织代表了关键EIS功能的采用者和非采用者。四种环境信息系统能力中的每一种的采用者都比不采用者具有更高水平的环境动态性、异质性和敌意。环境压力较大的EIS采用者似乎正在实现分布式架构来交付EIS应用程序。此外，为了协调、控制和计划而采用EIS功能的人比不采用EIS的人拥有更大的IS部门。此外，大型组织似乎比小型组织在更大程度上为规划目的而实现环境信息系统功能。他们也有更大比例的营利部门代表。讨论了这些发现的意义以及未来研究的方向

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
