Abstract
Based on research in a number of organizations that have implemented complex information systems, it is apparent that there is a large, untapped potential for organizations to control the effects of new information technology. The new information technology now available also makes it feasible to modify systems design to take advantage of this potential. These observations have resulted in a proposed methodology for creating organizationally effective information systems. A key element of this methodology is the Organizational Impact Statement, which serves as a focal point for identifying those areas of the organization where potential effects of the technology can be predicted and acted upon.Keywords
