Establishing a Model to Identify Information Systems in Nontraditional Organizations
Information is critical in both traditional and nontraditional organizations. But few tools exist to identify information systems in nontraditional organizations. Much of the past research has focused on reviewing organizations that have large automated information systems. This has left gaps in the knowledge of smaller organizations which rely on more manual processes to gather and process information. These organizations have unique needs and this makes studying them in mass difficult. This paper explores merging to previously examined models into a process that would allow us to study organizations of every size and automation level. The focus of this paper is to describe the process used during a 2007 study of small farms in Pennsylvania to develop a model to identify the information systems in place. The end result was a development of a model which takes into account the uniqueness of nontraditional organizations such as small farms.
Keywords: information systems, nontraditional organizations, farm information systems, small business systems
