The Impact

Organizations have always been dependent on communication, information, technology and their management. The development of information technology has sped up the importance of management information systems, which is an emerging discipline combining various aspects of informatics, information technology, and business management. Understanding the impact of information on today’s organizations requires technological and managerial views, which are both offered by management information systems. Business management is not only about generating greater returns and using new technologies for developing businesses to reach future goals. Business management also means generating better revenue performance if plans are diligently followed. It is part of business management to have an ear to the ground of global economic trends, changing environmental conditions and preferences, as well as the behavior of value chain partners. While, until now, business management and management information systems are mostly treated as independent fields, this publication takes an interest in the cooperation of the two. Its contributions focus on both research areas and practical approaches, in turn showing novelties in the area of enterprise and business management. Main topics covered in this book are technology management, software engineering, knowledge management, innovation management and social media management. This book adopts an international view, combines theory and practice, and is authored for researchers, lecturers, students as well as consultants and practitioners.

Information Technology System

A study aimed to investigate the role of the Education Business Management Information Systems (EBMIS) tool plays in the operation and  management of the University of Rwanda focusing on staff and students. We carried out a mixed-method study in five colleges of the University of Rwanda including headquarters targeting students and staff. On the one hand, the study finds out that through EBMIS, timely application and registration online were good services whereby 25.7 % of students and 27% of staff were satisfied with the services respectively. The 10.7 % of students highlighted that Information technology is able to check the history of the payment process of tuition fees and 8.8% were able to access the passing modules. In addition, 55.8% of students failed to use the system during registration and application during holidays. Consequently,  students come to the registration offices for assistance by staff in each college, which is costing, and time-consuming. On the other hand, the  majority of staff met the difficulties of using the EBMIS to render services in between as well as to the students due to the low skills on the system. Therefore, the students’ big lines in front of offices such as offices of Collegesꞌ registrar and repeatable claims from students are still unavoidable.  Hence, the use of EBMIS is not common practice in the whole services of the colleges in University of Rwanda. About, the knowledge gap, 56 % of staff do not know Information Technology System and hence 77% have not been trained at all on Information Technology System, among the  trained staff, 55.1 % used at least 20% of EBMIS. The findings of the study showed that the Information Technology System is under exploitation at the University of Rwanda. However, the management of all data information from merged colleges is still critical due to the lack of technical skills  and knowledge among users. Although, the University of Rwanda supports students and staff to explore this system through pieces of training in-country and abroad. Yet, there is still a big gap in skills of efficiency using the EBMIS and therefore, its productivity is still sub-standard.

The Impact

This paper presents the methodology of assessing opportunities and threats related to the combining of heterogeneous business models in complex organizations (enterprise groups) from the point of view of added value. The main objective was to develop a methodology for assessing the risk of including a company with a specific business model within a complex organization. The authors carried out an in-depth analysis of mutual influences for fifteen typical business models. Guided by their original approach to classifying business models in the sector for management information systems, the authors used the cross-impact method to rank models in the value chain of this sector. The operational processes of the business models were also identified. The proposed methodology allows for a relatively accurate assessment of the impact of particular operational processes of one model upon the strategic objectives of another. The study established a set of data enabling the determination of the potential risks of combining two distinct sector models, the ‘integrator’ and the ‘added value reseller’, as an enterprise group. The methodology presented in this paper could be used to develop a computer system supporting strategic decisions regarding the allocation of resources in complex organizations.

Chapter 8 continues the path through the ISSP framework described in Chapter 5 by considering the information systems (IS) application needs of government entities to support the identified information requirements. The basic principle is that the organisation needs to identify the information that it requires to run its business and then to determine the application systems that support the information needs. Hence, this approach provides a business-driven model rather than a technology-driven method. The chapter discusses various concepts related to the information resource management, information engineering, database management systems, data warehousing concepts, data mining concepts, business process reengineering, management information systems, decision support systems, executive information systems, and value chain analysis. These concepts link information management with application systems management, thus providing an integrated holistic view of the IS process.
