摘要

这个教学案例描述了私有化对大型工业组织的影响,并为说明动荡环境中信息系统的脆弱性设置了背景。在私有化之后,该公司建立了一些商业信息系统,这些系统使它们无法达到最初的目的。与此同时,公司的政策给予用户几乎完全的自主权和自由,以满足他们自己的系统和信息需求。利用这种自由,业务单位用户开发了他们自己的小型应用程序,并通过调整总体系统来为他们自己提供一个能够工作的系统。本案例详细、准确地记录了这些事件,通过详细说明信息系统无法处理突发环境事件的组织所受到的后续影响,提高了人们对信息系统灵活性问题的认识。

Information systems development and business fit in dynamic environments
This teaching case describes the effects of privatization on a large industrial organization and sets the context for illustrating the vulnerability of information systems in turbulent environments. Upon privatization, the company put in place a number of business information systems that crippled them with respect to their initial purpose. At the same time, the policy of the company gave users almost complete autonomy and freedom with respect to meeting their own systems and informational needs. Using this freedom, business unit users developed their own small applications, and cannibalized the overarching systems to give themselves a system that worked by adapting it to their needs. The case presents a detailed, factually accurate chronology of the events, raising awareness to the issue of information systems flexibility by detailing the ensuing repercussions on an organization whose information systems were incapable of dealing with a frantic pace of environmental contingencies.
