Excerpt from Building and Sustaining Partnership Between Line and I/S Managers: September 1989
In today's competitive world, the effective use of information technology (I/t) as an element of a competitive strategy is critical. Cash and Konsynski (1985), Rockart and Scott Morton(1984), and others have cited numerous examples of how organizations have used information technology to build and sustain new relationships with suppliers or customers and, as a result, have achieved a significant competitive advantage. A common theme in these examples is the use of information technology to improve the coordination of the activities across organizations that are critical to developing and delivering products and services to a market. However, it is often noted that these organizations did not gain their advantage by virtue of the information technology in and of itself. Johnston and Lawrence(1988) point out that Foremost McKesson radically changed both its internal operations and its working relationships with customers in its efforts to build and sustain a competitive advantage over large, integrated pharmaceutical companies. Rockart and Short(1989) discuss the need for effective internal integration across value-added functions as a critical aspect of effective execution of interorganizational information systems. Konsynski and Warbelow (1989) argue that the use of information technology linkages between organizations will only 'speed up the mess' if a fundamental restructuring of the nature of work in organizations is not achieved.
To the extent that these observations are correct, senior managers must now effectively integrate the management of information technology into every aspect of their organizations (Henderson and Venkatraman, 1989). One approach to achieve this level of integration has been to decentralize the Is organization, placing the responsibility for management of the Is funaion directly under the general manager of strategic business units. And yet this decentralization in itself does not remove the need for effective coordination of actions across the information systems community.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the concept of partnership between line managers and information systems managers and specialists, and a strategy for creating and managing them. A core focus is on exploring the determinants of effective partnership in action and in context. The author argues that the effective use of information technology as a competitive strategy necessitates effective integration of information technology into an organization. This book explores concepts and theories of participatory decision making, emphasizing the criticality of building strong working relationships between line and IT managers. The author presents a model of partnership based on structured interviews with executives. This framework identifies six key partnership determinants: mutual benefits, commitment, predisposition, shared knowledge, mutual dependency, and organizational linkage. The book contains practical strategies to build and sustain partnership relationships, including joint planning, performance measurement, and the effective use of cross-functional teams. The book concludes that the insights provided by this research will be invaluable to senior managers seeking to achieve maximum value from their IT investments through effective partnerships between line and IT managers.
