It is interesting to observe how technological development has allowed to several organizations to use information technologies as tools, not only for improvements in operational efficiency, but also as support to achieve innovation and creating new opportunities. The aim of the study is to understand the priorities of information technologies management in Peruvian organizations. The study is considered a cross-sectional investigation with repeated measurements of 119 and 150 executives in the years 2010 and 2011 respectively. The sample was not random and a questionnaire to all participants applied online. The results evidence that the processes management, business agility and strategic alignment represent the most important management priorities and the budget assigned to technology areas maintains an upward trend despite the impacts of the international crisis on the Peruvian econom...

Prior research (Rai et al, 2002; Seddon and Kiew, 1997) evaluates information systems in their role as information provider. In these, the impact of technology on individual performance is studied (utility of the system) and information quality and facility of the system are considered explanatory factors for utility. However, a system also fulfills the role of automating tasks, a role that is not recognized in the afore mentioned factors. Based on the impact model by Seddon (1997) and literature about automatization (Kaber and Draper, 2004), this study determines the relation between automatization and the utility of information systems through the construct, intervention level of the system in activities of the individual. Through a questionnaire, data was collected from 246 users from different organizations and functional areas. Structural equations (Bentler, 198) were used for analy...

Investigaciones previas (Rai et al, 2002; Seddon y Kiew, 1997), evalúan el sistema de información en su rol de proveedor de información. En ellas se estudia el impacto de la tecnología sobre el desempeño individual (utilidad del sistema) y consideran la calidad de la información y la facilidad del sistema como facto res explicativos de la utilidad. Sin embargo, un sistema también cumple el rol de automatización de tareas, papel que no recoge los factores mencionados. Fundamentado en el modelo de impacto de Seddon (1997) y la literatura sobre automatización (Kabery Draper, 2004), este estudio determina la relación entre la automatización y la utilidad de los sistemas de información, a través del constructo nivel de intervención del sistema en las actividades del individuo. Mediante un cuestionario, se recopilan datos de 240 usuarios de distintas organizaciones y de diferente...
