Analysis and mode establishment of information integration activities — A case study perspective

Influencing by the factors of sudden change of demand, unknown strategy, advancing technology and insufficient experience, enterprise's information systems are lead to diversification and difficult integration. Although quite a few scholars thus proposed information integration frameworks, theories and suggestions, the lack consideration on internal operations, project operation mechanism and no complete information integration activity structure has resulted in too conceptual and principle outcome, leaving enterprise's failure in getting the expected benefits. In this respect, this study (1) selects “the Key Success Factors of Information Integration Activity Structure” the literatures and qualitative interview methods to specifically emerge the implementation structure and items/factors of information integration project activities; (2) based on case study interview to explain the gains and losses of the information integration activities procedures for a famous vegetarian group in Taiwan; (3) follows the CREATER model, analyzes each activity procedure items/factors on the “structure table” to emerge possible problems and solutions; (4) dialysis the “project activity mode” of “organization operation surface” and the “importance difference” of “solution surface”; (5) elaborates the management implications and contributions of the research results. It's believed that the results of this study can effectively combine practical application with academic value. It also helps enterprises to enhance the possibilities of success on information integration activities.
