Informationssysteme in der Unternehmung

The real problems of our age are increasingly being viewed in connection with one another and are no longer solved in isolation. Fundamental to this is systems theory, which understands reality as an intertwined network in which biological, psychological, social, and ecological phenomena are interdependent. Interestingly, a similar development can be observed in many businesses regarding information technology. Here too, it becomes evident that an isolated consideration of problems is increasingly leading to dead ends. The goal is to pursue a solidarity-based development of technically limited systems, both in terms of size and risk, based on a holistic approach that fits into an overall concept derived from the company's objectives. This book presents a corresponding path that has been taken by numerous businesses. The discussions do not require any special knowledge of information technology and are primarily intended for decision-makers and specialists. However, project managers who have successfully advocated their concepts without the need for complex cost-benefit analyses are also addressed. Finally, the book is suitable for beginners in the field of data modeling and application development, as well as for students in related disciplines.
