An Information-Processing Perspective of IS-Business Integration: A Review of Research and a Conceptual Model

Miguel I. Aguirre-Urreta DePaul University, USA

Abstract
This paper presents a review framework of research related to inter-departmental integration, with a focus toward research into the IS-business relationship. While much of the literature reviewed lies outside the Information Systems realm, it is proposed here that related research in other business disciplines has much to contribute to the current interest in the integration between the Information Systems function, and line management in organizations. The main contribution of this manuscript lies in the identification of an appropriate theoretical base that can be employed in the study of this relationship.
