HOW ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IMPACTS IT IMPLEMENTATION AND ONGOING MANAGEMENT: PART 2

 

An organizations culture influences its peoples behavior when carrying out their work tasks. This management philosophy applies to the companys ability to drive and optimize value from business information systems implementation. To maximize the return on investment in business information systems, employees from different departments or lines of business must be able to work, support, and collaborate with each other effectively and efficiently.

For this Assignment, you will continue to examine a case study that demonstrates how an organizations culture can affect the implementation of information technology as well as its ongoing management. This case provides an opportunity to analyze factors that influence the success and failure of information technology implementation in a real-world context. You submitted Part 1 in Week 7, and you will submit Part 2 this week. As you continue to develop your report, be sure to include specific examples where applicable, as well as relevant citations from the Learning Resources, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate academic sources.
