Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

The IJBIS, a fully refereed journal, covers the general areas of business information systems (BIS). BIS can be defined as a system which integrates information technology, people and business. BIS brings business functions and information modules together for establishing effective communication channels which are useful for making timely and accurate decisions. Considering the globalisation of markets and operations, a journal focusing on BIS is of supreme importance. Moreover, this paradigm shift leads to global outsourcing, strategic alliances and partnership in order to be competitive in terms of price, quality, flexibility, dependability and responsiveness. This places a tremendous pressure on organisations to develop suitable BIS in order to facilitate effective communication along the supply chain and in turn contribute to organisational productivity and competitiveness.

There is a growing importance of BIS in the new economy and enterprise environment which is characterised by strategic alliances, global outsourcing, physically distributed operations environments, and global business partnership. New strategies, techniques, tools and technologies for developing suitable BIS will be the main focus of IJBIS. The journal aims to shape the future of business information systems taking into account the dynamics of business environments.

Business information systems will include software applications, system analysis, design, development, and management of business and office information and decision support systems. Some of the major research topics should include e-business, knowledge management, enterprise and IT architecture, IS quality, IT spending, IT/IS productivity, strategic information systems, executive information systems, decision support systems, computer-supported cooperative work, data mining and warehousing, artificial intelligence and expert systems, information resource management, object-oriented programming and systems.

 Go Top  Objectives

The main objectives of IJBIS are to promote the research and practice of new strategies, tools, techniques and technologies for the design, development and implementation of BIS.

The global dimension is emphasised to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the accelerating technological changes and changes in global economy.
