Corporate governance and the information systems excellence factor

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Corporate Governance (CG) and Enterprise Systems (ESs) have attracted a great deal of attention from academics and practitioners. Financial scandals (Enron, WorldCom, etc.) and information system breakdowns are common nowadays. This paper argues that these failures are closely correlated. It shows the correlation and makes some suggestions about how the information systems should be designed and implemented and how corporate governance can benefit from the new design approach. Regulation, voluntary codes and good practices as a motive for adopting new systems (organisational and informational) play a crucial role in selecting the course of action and strategy. The synergies between CG and ESs can lead to a more stable corporate environment and improved organisational performance.
