Information systems (IS) are frequently modified according to changes in enterprise business and operating models and other internal and external factors that influence the enterprise. The changes are systematically managed following the engineering change management (ECM) process. The main issue in the ECM process is that the IS changes and their impact frequently are not evaluated with respect to...
Information systems have become indispensable in our daily lives. It is anticipated that if information systems become more huge and complex, more critical failures will occur. However, reports of failures have not been adequately collected.

The aim of our study was to provide a contribution to the research field of critical success factors (CSFs) with a focus on SCM system implementations. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review in order to identify CSFs for those projects. On the basis of that review, we conducted interviews within German large-scale enterprises and with consultants experienced with SCM system implementations...
Implementing management support information systems with the use of outsourcing is the prevalent method of completing this type of project in Poland. Agency theory is one of the significant categories of theories used in the analysis of IT outsourcing. Literature studies indicate a research gap concerning the phenomenon of moral hazard in IT projects consisting in the implementation of management...
In public transport the passenger information system plays a very important role, which provides the connection between the two participants: the service provider (bus company) and the passengers. The service provider would like to state the structure of the network, the timetable, and the passenger would like information about the same data. If this communication is not correct this causes a lower...
The work presented in this paper is the modeling of an information system supporting all activities of the reverse logistics(RL). In order to gather knowledge about the current state of the art on this topic, a literature review is established for the available research works which are classified using a suitable criteria. Based on this review, our work consist of developing an information system...

Joint-venture alliance project partners have different and sometimes conflicting goals and incentives, and project members often have short project stays and weak allegiance to overall project goals. Given this, the sources of alignment required for the diffusion of selected and mandated ICT on projects appears to be limited. We ask, how are individual, organizational and project incentives aligned...
This paper proposes an approach in Goal-Oriented Requirements refinement and analysis that adapt Case-Based Reasoning techniques. This approach is expected to help emphasizing the reuse of the high quality requirements that have been applied on previous system development process. The Attributed Goal-Oriented Requirements Analysis (AGORA) is simplified to analyze requirements proposed by Goal Tree...
This paper presents patterns to align domain models of information systems represented in UML class diagrams. The main objective is to facilitate the process of interoperating systems applying a method to perform a conceptual integration of the existent models. This method regards ontological distinctions of Object Types for enhance the accuracy of the intended semantic of the concepts.
Existing research has conducted reviews of warehousing research and has suggested potential important areas for future work. In this paper we focus on warehousing data management-related issues and augment the findings from a recent review of warehousing research to suggest new areas of future work. To determine these potential areas we visited a large, national warehousing organisation and observed...
The Total Landed Cost (TLC) often comprise a large share of the total international sourcing cost and thereby determine the cost-saving potential. Therefore, the literature proposes a number of methods to evaluate the TLC. Nevertheless, the ordinary way and especially the usage of information systems (IS) have not been examined satisfactory. This study focusses which kind of IS are used in this domain...
