The objective of Creating a Culture for Information Systems Success is to assist CIOs and IT managers on how to use their managerial actions to create a suitable cultural environment in the organization that leads to a successful and sustainable implementation of information systems function.

In the era of disruptive technology, the dilemma of why a particular information system encountered unanticipated resistance and never met expectations is still considered an emerging issue. While this context has been intensively studied, we still lack evidence on how this organizational context is affecting the success of information systems from a managerial action perspective. This type of managerial involvement is often neglected to the extent that it becomes a major obstacle to organizational performance.

Across all schools of information systems discipline, the view of information systems is changing in two different aspects: The first aspect is to acknowledge an information system as both a technical and a social system, and the second aspect is to acknowledge the emerging technological innovation in data management. These two acknowledgments imply a richer view of the problems of information systems development, in relation to organizational changes.

Besides the Big Data revolution, digital transformation is another concept that finds its way in the strategic agendas of the business executives, and it is tightly related to the systems enterprises use for information management and decision making. Many companies have already made a change adopting the three Big Data attributes: Data Volume, Data Variety, and Data Velocity.

• Data Volume: Scale of data
• Data Variety: Different forms of data
• Data Velocity: Analysis of streaming data

The three Big Data attributes have resulted in designing information systems that have the capability of handling both structured and unstructured data, processing a massive volume of data in real time. This drastic change enhances the effectiveness of decision making through Predictive and Data Analytics by the designed information systems.

The book provides guidelines for managers on how to create this organizational context, measure it, and make sure it leads to a successful implementation and use of information systems. It carefully illustrates its main theme by providing examples and cases to explain how the behavioral context of an organization led by its managers and executives would lead to the success of the information systems function.
