Autoría - Creator

Resumen

Los sistemas y tecnologías de la información son elementos conceptualmente complejos y de carácter interdisciplinario que siempre han generado interés para la ciencia administrativa y la práctica empresarial, con más importancia, si cabe, en los últimos años, como consecuencia de un entorno económico y social marcado por la tecnología. En este sentido, son numerosas las reflexiones que se han realizado a lo largo del tiempo sobre los impactos que los sistemas y tecnologías de la información tienen en las organizaciones y los múltiples marcos de análisis que deben ser utilizados para investigar dichos efectos. Todo esto ha dado lugar a un campo de estudio dentro de la administración de empresas muy diverso y complejo en cuanto a temáticas, metodologías y enfoques. Ante esta situación, el objetivo del presente artículo es analizar, organizar y reflexionar sobre las principales aportaciones que, hasta el momento, se han realizado en la literatura y definir lo que pueden ser las tendencias futuras, de forma que este trabajo pueda facilitar a otros investigadores la compleja labor que supone el análisis de los sistemas y tecnologías de la información dentro de la administración de empresas.
