El trabajo presenta una metodología que permite la identificación de zonas de vulnerabilidad agrícola por sequía meteorológica en el Estado México; la propuesta utiliza de técnicas de evaluación multivariada, sistemas de información geográfica, estandarización y análisis estadístico. El proceso de validación metodológica se desarrolló en el territorio que comprende al Estado de México en donde se seleccionaron y aplicaron indicadores sugeridos por la guía metodológica del INECC y PNUD; asimismo se llevó a cabo el análisis por superposición temática de variables para procesar la información. Como resultado, se construyó cartografía del escenario correspondiente a exposición, sensibilidad, resiliencia y vulnerabilidad agrícola para el Estado de México y sus municipios. Palabras clave: vulnerabilidad; evaluación multivariada; sistemas de información geográfica; resiliencia; sequía. This paper presents a methodology that allows the identification of agricultural zones vulnerability due to meteorological drought in Mexico. The proposal uses multivariate evaluation techniques, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), standardization and statistical analysis. The methodological validation process was developed and approved in the State of Mexico territory, where indicators suggested by methodological guide of the INECC and UNPN were select and applied. Also the analysis by thematic overload of variables to process the information was carried out. As result, exposure mapping, sensitivity, resilience and agricultural vulnerability were developed. Index words: vulnerability; multivariate evaluation; GIS; resilience; drought.

Until the beginning of the 1990s, information systems (IS) were generally viewed as largely a support for business activity and were justified using cost accounting techniques. A proposed system would be developed if it could be shown that it would reduce operating costs or result in other productivity increases. No consideration was given to other benefits of an intangible or even strategic nature. As the deployment of information technology (IT) spread from operational to tactical support, the need to assess or evaluate its contribution to organisational performance and organisational reconfiguration attracted researchers’ interests. Yet the same genre of cost accounting based evaluation techniques were used.

Abstract. Digitalization, enhanced storage capacities, and the Internet of Things increase the volume of data in modern organizations. To process and make use of these data and to avoid information overload, management information systems (MIS) are introduced that collect, process, and analyze relevant data. However, a precondition for the application of MIS is that users trust them. Extending accounts of trust in automation and trust in technology, we introduce a new model of trust in MIS that addresses the conceptual ambiguities of existing conceptualizations of trust and integrates initial empirical work in this field. In doing so, we differentiate between perceived trustworthiness of an MIS, experienced trust in an MIS, intentions to use an MIS, and actual use of an MIS. Moreover, we consider users’ perceived risks and contextual factors (e. g., autonomy at work) as moderators. The introduced model offers guidelines for future research and initial suggestions to foster trust-based MIS use.
