 The fragmentation of concepts and techniques is an essential question for the scientific progress in all scientific fields, however, when applied to didactic and development of pedagogical projects, generates distortions in the process of professional formation, thus the current market search for people with an integrated and global knowledge and ready to commit to knowing, teaching and learn...

Organisational culture is an important influence in shaping the organisational impacts of Information Systems. However, the conceptualisation and operationalisation of culture in empirical studies does not reflect the richness of the theoretical literature. In particular, our review finds that the dynamic, emergent and reciprocal nature of the IS-culture relationship has not been adequately exa...

Computerised information systems for community health services have evolved with advances in information technology (IT) in Australia and overseas. However, there is evidence from other sectors for the need to distinguish between an information systems (IS) strategy and an IT strategy. This paper uses case studies of computerised information systems developed in New South Wales to identify issu...

Before a Business Process Reengineering project is initiated, a solid understanding of the existing business processes in the organization is necessary. This paper examines and compares two approaches for modeling business processes. Both approaches are unique in the sense that they are founded in the speech act theory and consider communication to be the core of the business process. The two a...

In livestock genetic resource conservation, decision making about conservation priorities is based on the simultaneous analysis of several different criteria that may contribute to long-term sustainable breeding conditions, such as genetic and demographic characteristics, environmental conditions, and role of the breed in the local or regional economy. Here we address methods to integrate diffe...

This paper is a reflection on the current status of the relationship between systems thinking and Information Systems. It starts with an overview of several major recent attempts at research level to bring these two fields closer to each other. The paper provides a reflection on the major issues that emerge from the papers submitted to the systems thinking/systems practice track of the ISOneWor...

Research into the role of identity in organizations has become increasingly popular in recent years. Scholars from different organizational and management disciplines have applied the concept to address a wide variety of issues. In light of the concept’s broad applicability, we conduct a review of six prominent IS journals to examine the extent of the concept’s use in our field. Our review reve...
