Title: Management Issues for the Internationalized
Information Systems
Abstract: With the
rapid development of information technology, we are experiencing the globalization
of business processes and accompanying Information Systems (IS). The utilization
and implementation of various IS substantially contributed to the feasibility
of globalization. However, it is a great challenge to manage IS in a global
environment, because managers have to deal with the differences of various
countries. Based on the literature study, we defined the Internationalized
Information Systems Management (IISM) and identified seven significant management
issues for IISM, namely policy, legislation, economy, language, organization,
technology and national culture. Subsequently, those management issues were
analyzed in detail and the further research was recommended briefly.
