Organizational System design

Just in any other aspect of decision making, it is important to point to the most fundamental aspect of business management i.e. the individualization of decision making based on organizational needs, wants and ability. It is safe to assume that most business concepts and fundamentals are uniform and apply to virtually all businesses. However, any decision maker or stakeholder has to be aware that those fundamentals have to be tailored to particular organizations current standing, ability as well as organizational goals and organizational strategic vision.

This may lead to the conclusion that informational technology is no exception. Information systems and its respective tools that include software and hardware are simply tools that are used to enhance the organizational ability to become more effective and efficient. Hence those tools have to be tailored and customized in order to reap the benefits. In order to maximize the benefits, one has to assume that operators i.e. employees or decision makers have the greatest knowledge and expertise to use those systems. Equally the customization has to be done in a way that complements the end users ability to use those systems.

Ultimately, it is not far fetched to label information systems simply as just another tool that can not be effectively maximized in its usage, unless it is designed, tailored and customized to fit the goals as well as the ability of the end user to effective implement their respective usage.
