Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of organizational validity in the context of modern management information systems (MIS). It presents a conceptual framework that assesses the validity of MIS on four levels of analysis: user-system fit, organization structure-system fit, power distribution-system fit, and environment-system fit. The author argues that organizational validity is not a unitary concept but a property of the match or fit between an MIS and its organizational context of use. The book discusses the conditions that foster invalid systems, including individual attributes, organizational structural conditions, and societal factors. It also explores the processes by which organizational validity can be increased, namely, integration of differences and negotiation among interests. The author emphasizes that the organizational validity of an MIS is not always desirable and should be pursued with careful consideration of both ease of implementation and long-term organizational effectiveness. The book concludes by highlighting the value of organizational validity as a descriptive concept that enhances our ability to theorize about organizational impacts and make intelligent system design choices.
