Redesigning Work with Dual Information Systems: The Work Process Benchmarking Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conceptual structure of most computer-based information systems reflects a dualism of technology. During the development phase, part of the work-domain related knowledge is formalized and encoded in the software, making it difficult for users to reflect on and use this knowledge. This dualism deters the interpretive flexibility of information systems. Dual Information Systems (DIS) are needed that enable and reinforce both effective, institutionalized working and the questioning and (re)construction of computer-supported work routines. In this paper, we first outline the theoretical background, conceptual structure, and generic services of DIS. Next, we elaborate on the work process benchmarking service of DIS, which supports project teams in redesigning computer-supported work through lateral sharing of knowledge of work processes between business units. Finally, we demonstrate the benchmarking service and encourage commercial implementations with the help of the ReDISprototype.

متن کاملA Process Evaluation to Assess Contextual Factors Associated With the Uptake of a Rapid Response Service to Support Health Systems’ Decision-Making in Uganda
Background Although proven feasible, rapid response services (RRSs) to support urgent decision and policymaking are still a fairly new and innovative strategy in several health systems, more especially in low-income countries. There are several information gaps about these RRSs that exist including the factors that make them work in different contexts and in addition what affects their uptake b...
متن کاملContext-Aware Recommender Systems: A Review of the Structure Research
Recommender systems are a branch of retrieval systems and information matching, which through identifying the interests and requires of the user, help the users achieve the desired information or service through a massive selection of choices. In recent years, the recommender systems apply describing information in the terms of the user, such as location, time, and task, in order to produce re...
متن کاملThe mediation role of quality of work life in the relationship between information cancer and learning process
New technologies have increasingly facilitated information production process and also have made it possible for many people to access to a large amount of information. This causes information cancer phenomenon in which the information destroy resources, facilities, and human labor aimlessly and destructively. This study has been considered to investigate the relationship between the phenomenon...
