Paper Abstract:
|
Executive Information Systems (EIS) grew out of the information needs of executives and are designed to serve the needs
of users in strategic planning and decision-making. EIS are high risk information technology (IT) implementation
projects. With the emergence of global information technologies, existing paradigms are being altered which are
spawning new considerations for IT implementation. Web-based technologies are causing a revisit to existing IT
implementation models, including those for EIS. The authors compare two recent survey studies of EIS implementation
in well-established organisations in South Africa and Spain. From a comparative analysis, the authors report six
identified similarities and three differences in EIS in these countries. |
