IV-Controlling und Informationsmanagement im Mittelstand — Abschließende Ergebnisse einer Feldstudie—

IS-controlling hardly takes place in SME's although there is a need for it. This is the result of a survey in Eastwestfalia-Lippe/Germany consisting of a questionnaire and explorative interviews. The interviews verified our conjecture from the quantitative analysis that SME's do not manage their information technique adequately. There are shortcomings in the understanding of the DP's role (programming bureau instead of competence center) and a hazardous risk-behavior (high personnel dependencies). Aside the presentation of the results and their interpretation, the paper contains proposals for actions in SME's information resource management and IS-controlling.
