Role of culture In information System
Category for Describing Culture Impact on Information Management
Group Norms The organisation, and the groups within the
organisation, will hold minimum standards
of acceptability relating to the accuracy,
frequency, and timeliness of information,
which need to be addressed by information
management policies
Climate The organisational climate, the feel of the
organisation is influenced by factors
including the physical use of building space
and the interactions between staff.
Information Management needs to
consider of the flow of information in the
organisation including how information is
communicated and the opportunities and
barriers for communicating information,
the emphasis of formal information flows
through organisational hierarchies that can
overlook the informal channels through
which information is shared.
Espoused values The characteristics of the information
provided to the organisation and to be
groups within the organisation must reflect
the organisation’s values in terms of
content, quantity, quality, and preservation
to support goals
Philosophy The organisation’s philosophy determines
the policies that direct business processes
and define standards of behaviour.
Information management needs to be
aligned with the organisation’s philosophy
to provide the content and quality of
information needed by business processes.
Shared meanings The language of social group creates a
sense of unity separating the group form
others. Within an organisation, different
departments attribute different meanings
to key terms about which information
needs to be managed, such as product,
item, and component. Different definitions
of information can be the source of many
problems in information management.
