Abstract

The transfer of information is a key function of any organization. Whether reflected and designed or not, systems emerge for this transfer. Like the nervous system of the human body, an information system is vital to any organization. How these systems function is of great importance. Well functioning systems are linked to success while a malfunction may lead to decline or even disaster. Though the relevance of information systems was not questioned in principle, they used to play a minor role in the writing of history. This lack of research is one main reason for this introduction; the other is to provide a short overview over the development of theories of information systems.
