Implementing and sustaining executive information systems: influencing factors in a mining industry context

Abstract

Research on executive information systems (EIS) in Australia and overseas has been fairly limited, and even less has focused on the factors associated with EIS success. The successful use of an EIS may be dependent on a number of factors in the EIS implementation phase and another set of factors in the sustaining phase. In this case-based research study the impact of these factors has been investigated in two large organisations in the Australian minerals and energy sector. The results of this exploratory study reveal that some of the factors were indeed related to successful EIS use and recommendations for further research to generalise these results are presented. >
