During the last two decades, there have been many reports about the
success and failure of investments in ICT and information systems.
Failures in particular have drawn a lot of attention. The outcome
of the implementation of information and communication systems has
often been disastrous. Recent research does not show that results
have improved. This raises the question why so many ICT projects
perform so badly. Information, Organization and Information Systems
Design: An Integrated Approach to Information Problems aims at
discussing measures to improve the results of information systems.
Bart Prakken identifies various factors that explain the shortfall
of information systems. Subsequently, he provides a profound
discussion of the measures that can be taken to remove the causes
of failure. When organizations are confronted with information
problems, they will almost automatically look for ICT solutions.
However, Prakken argues that more fundamental and often cheaper
solutions are in many cases available. When looking for solutions
to information problems, the inter-relationship between
organization, information and the people within the organization
should explicitly be taken into account. The measures that the
author proposes are based on organizational redesign, particularly
using the sociotechnical approach. In cases where ICT solutions do
have to be introduced, Prakken discusses a number of precautionary
measures that will help their implementation. The book aims to
contribute to the scientific debate on how to solve information
problems, and can be used in graduate and postgraduate courses. It
is also helpful to managers.
