Hypermedia, information systems and organizations: a research agenda

There are few hypermedia applications within business and industrial organizations. It is argued that this phenomenon is rooted in the concept of hypermedia applications as stand-alone programs. Larger acceptance of hypermedia within organizations will occur once this technology is better integrated with other organizational systems and applied to carefully selected tasks. Three areas for research in this context are identified: the tasks perspective, which deals with selecting tasks to develop hypermedia applications; the knowledge perspective, which deals with representing and managing the knowledge processed by organizations; and the integration perspective, which deals with technical issues in software integration. It is suggested that solutions to the problems presented will prompt the acceptance of hypermedia technology within organizations.<<ETX>>
