Perspective Analysis

As organizations implement enterprise systems, the issues of whether to “build or buy” new IT modules, and if buying, how much to customize, continue to be key concerns. In this chapter, we develop a framework in order to better understand effective information system module choice and customization from a strategy perspective. Analysis of the strategic importance of the IS module can provide general guidance for the amount of specialization that is appropriate. To illustrate these ideas we apply them to four case examples.

Imperfect System

At present, the application of project cost management information system has become a trend. The development of project cost management information system in our country is relatively later. Because project cost management information system is lack of unified network, imperfect system module, lower personal qualities, and so on, it does not play proper role. The article analyzes construction of project cost management information system from overall design and puts forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.

Intelligent Information

It was revealed that there are no generally accepted methods for assessing competitiveness; modern research is mainly a theoretical analysis of regional competitiveness. It was substantiated that the use of mathematical models and quantitative methods will improve the objectivity of the assessment. A methodology for an information system design for analysis and prediction of the dynamics of risks of competitiveness of regions of the Russian Federation was proposed. The prospects and directions of intellectualization of that system were shown. Based on the analysis of officially published statistical data and information from the regions and the proposed methodology, methods of systematization of socio-economic indicators were designed. An information system module was developed to implement the model based on the Kolmogorov-Chapman equations for assessing the risks of regional competitiveness and its validation was carried out

Much research has been conducted to understand the damage tolerance behavior of polymer matrix composites, but there are so many parameters involved that the development of a generic model is rather difficult. The present paper proposes an information system, which can overcome such difficulty. In this system, a list of possible parameters is generated and used as input. The output contains compression strength after impact, dent depth and damage area as well as pertinent reference information. The information system is constituted in a relational database environment and tools from expert system technology are incorporated. Case examples are included to demonstrate the practical use of the software for both data retrieval and similarity studies.

Unethical Decision Making

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the ability of enterprise systems and embedded controls to prevent unethical behavior within organizations. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a case study to explore how the configuration of information technology (IT) controls within enterprise systems and their effectiveness in preventing unethical behavior is compromised by the tone at the top. Findings The study highlights the decisive role of cultural values and leadership in moderating the relationship between IT controls and unethical behavior and the realization that ethical environments are socially constructed not enforced. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this research is that the authors conducted one case study in an institution of higher education to refute the theory that IT controls embedded within enterprise systems can prevent unethical, and thus, the results may not be generalizable to other industries. Practical implications An important implication of the research is that the configuration of information system controls is affected by the organizational culture and the ethical values embraced by top management. When the tone at the top does not emphasize the ethical code of conduct, the configuration of IT controls will be compromised leaving organizations vulnerable at all levels. Originality/value Although the authors have a wealth of knowledge on ethics and theories that explain why unethical decision-making continue to surface to the headlines, they have little explanation as to why enterprise systems fail to stop unethical behavior in organizations. This study explores technical, organizational and individual factors that contribute to unethical decision-making.

Based on the functional requirement analysis of the compute-aided reliability information system, some concepts are proposed, such as the distributed progressive reliability analysis and the functional decomposition and reconstitution for CNC machine tool. At the same time, the architecture of the CARNC-CE (Computer Aided Reliability Numerical Control for Current Engineering) including physical layer, foundational layer, executive layer, applied layer and illustration layer, is introduced, which provides the general guidance and the frame to realize CNC machine tool reliability analysis system in concurrent engineering.

Enterprise Competitiveness

Large and medium-sized enterprises cannot get along without an information system; these firms have become heavily computer-dependent. This paper briefly summarizes the possible needs and their reasons; it describes how the continuously developing information systems can be categorized based on their services; it covers the options enterprises have to implement such systems (to develop, to buy a standard system or to outsource). The paper also deals with the fact that when investing in an information system, return on investment is an important factor but the consequences of the lack of investment has to be considered as well. The final section covers some aspects of the enterprise systems and their influence on the enterprise competitiveness.
