When building an international system, one must first
understand the global environment in which your firm
is operating, including the business drivers that are
pushing the industry toward global competition and
management challenges.
The structure of the organization, locations, job
functions, management issues, technology platformswill all factor in to a successful globalization plan.

Organizing International

The three main organizational issues in globalizing a
business are:
Choosing a strategy
Organizing the business structure (decentralized,
centralized, coordinated)
Organizing the systems management area

Types of Information systems
The four main types of information systems
configuration are
Centralized systems: Systems development and operation occur
totally at the domestic home base
Duplicated systems: Development occurs at the home base but
operations are handed over to autonomous units in foreign
locations
Decentralized systems: Each foreign unit designs its own unique
solutions and systems.
Networked systems: Systems development and operations occur
in an integrated and coordinated fashion across all units.

Principles in developing IIS
Organize and locate value-adding activities or
functions along lines of comparative advantage.
Develop and operate systems units at each level of
corporate activity. Host country systems units should serve
local needs; telecommunications and systems development
should be handled by regional systems units; and
transnational systems units should be established to create
linkages across major regional areas.
Establish at world headquarters a single officer (CIO)
responsible for international systems

The first step in managing a global transition is
identifying core systems.
It includes identifying critical core business processes,
identifying centers of excellence for these processes,
and rank-ordering these centers.
then one can decide which processes should be core
applications, centrally coordinated, designed, andimplemented around the globe, and which should be
regional and local

The second strategic step is to conquer the core
systems and define these systems as truly
transnational.
The third step is to choose an approach to
implementing and managing change, avoiding
piecemeal or grand design approaches that try to do
everything at once.

Contribution
Global systems contribute, overall, to:
Superior management and coordination
Improvement in production, operation, supply and
distribution
Costs can be spread over a larger, global customer
base, unleashing new economies of scale atproduction facilities
The ability to optimize the use of corporate funds over
a much larger capital base.
