Environmental management and the role of information systems

摘要

Despite the proliferation of environmental management systems (EMS) and environmental management information systems (EMIS) in industry which has occurred in the past decade, as of yet, these systems have received little attention within the IS community. It is thus the objective of this paper to develop a conceptual framework for the role of IS in supporting EM within organizations. The framework also serves as the basis for a research agenda for IS in environmental management.
