Research on Management Information Systems: the Social and Organizational Side of Computer Science and Engineering
Research on Management Information Systems: the Social and Organizational Side of Computer Science and Engineering
Resumen: This presentation’s purpose is to conduct a brief overview of research on the field of Management [of] Information Systems (MIS), also known as Information Systems (IS). MIS is a research field that deals with the evaluation of organizational, team, and individuals’ capabilities and operational practices with Information Technology (IT) – including adoption decisions of technology – as well as the different impacts of such practices. The overview will be done with three disparate examples of research on this field: a) performance in primary care medical practices through the use of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, b) a meta-analysis of the consequences of virtualness – the extent to which work groups collaborate electronically – on team functioning and performance, and c) the persuasive design of technology to encourage and evaluate employees’ pro environmental behaviors at work.
