What Drives the End User to Build a Feral Information System?
[chapter]
Feral Information Systems Development
A Feral Information Systems (FIS) is any technological artefact (e.g. spreadsheets) that end users employ instead of the mandated Enterprise System (ES). ...
Rather than submitting to the ES, the end user can employ FIS to block or circumvent aspects of the ES. ...

Issues that support the creation of ICT workarounds: towards a theoretical understanding of feral information systems
2016
Information Systems Journal
One solution is a type of ICT workaround, a Feral Information Systems (FIS). ...
We define an FIS as a workaround designed to achieve certain requirements using any information technology tool that an End User employs in conjunction with, or instead of the mandated Information System ...
/Coding Skills End Users acquired the IT skills to build a Feral Information System from a variety of sources. ...

Power Relationships that Lead to the Development of Feral Systems
2007
Australasian Journal of Information Systems
A lack of trust in the ERP, ineffective training methods and complexity in extracting the data from the ERP were identified as a problem which lead to the development of "Feral Systems" (systems outside ...
the accepted ERP or corporation condoned information systems -sometimes called skunkworks). ...
This study tries to identify the organisational cultural factors and reward systems that drive the employee perceived need to develop feral systems where end users develop their own systems presumably ...

Feral Information Systems Creation as Sensemaking
2015
Systems
In particular, we explore how Feral Information Systems (FIS) are actually a creative way to work around complex information systems and need to be acknowledged as such. ...
This paper discussed the role of actors in creating their own sensemaking devices as Feral Information Systems. ...
Secondly, the need to 'workaround' a process is provoking a kind of 'sensemaking' that drives users to create novel ways to approach and adapt to their work. ...

Just in time or Just in case: A Case study on the impact of context in ERP implementations
2010
Australasian Journal of Information Systems
The paper concludes with a call to build more contextual research in the study of ERP implementations. ...
This paper argues that context and the ideals of ERP systems are often mismatched which leads to the development of feral systems, poor inventory practices and ERP systems implementation failure. ...
This statement indicates a high level of internal information systems (feral systems) are developed and used to either supplement the SAP system or replace it. ...

Reorienting the Information Systems Function to Support Increasing Levels of Business Service
2014
International Conference on Information Systems
In this paper, we employ a multi-case research design to investigate the role of the IS function in supporting increasing levels of service. ...
Our study contributes to the literature by showing that differences in IS service orientation and collaborative capabilities affect the ability of firms to support service. ...
The information systems (IS) function is not excluded from this change because it is a key enabler of business service. ...

Shadow Systems, Risk, and Shifting Power Relations in Organizations
2017
Communications of the Association for Information Systems
Drawing on notions of power and the social construction of risk, we build new theory to understand the persistence of shadow systems in organizations. ...
However, empirical findings suggest that the weakening tendency of formal risk-management programs may not be sufficient to stop the shadow systems cycle spinning if they fail to address the underlying ...
Furthermore, we thank participants at the 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) in San Diego, CA, for their helpful comments. ...

A paradigm shift for bring your own device (BYOD)
2018
Americas Conference on Information Systems
The article informs IS researchers that there is a need to study the phenomena of technology adaption further. ...
The paper extends the literature on adoption and combines them with the body of work on BYOD. The article compares these two concepts to build a theoretical framework in which BYOD can be examined. ...
In this paper we are referring to these workarounds as feral information systems (FIS), based on the work of Kerr and Houghton 2010. ...

Stigmergic Hyperlink
2011
International Journal of Information Systems and Social Change
In a system of stighs, like a Web page, the objects that users do use grow "healthier", while the unused "weaken", eventually to the extreme of their "death", being autopoieticaly replaced by new destinations ...
At the single Web page scale, these systems perform like recommendation systems and embody an "ecological" treatment to unappreciated links. ...
We argued that a system of stighs can perform as a recommender system of preferred Web destinations and as an automatic solution for the replacement of undesired links. ...

Shadow Analytics
2017
Americas Conference on Information Systems
Using technology affordances and constraints theory, we investigate what enables and constrains a shadow analytics initiative. ...
Unfortunately, many internal IT departments lack the business acumen, financial resources and data science expertise to initiate analytics initiatives (Goldberg 2012). ...
This phenomenon of end-users launching their own IT initiatives is well-documented in the literature on end-user computing, feral IT or shadow IT. ...

Scenario analysis for biodiversity conservation: A social–ecological system approach in the Australian Alps
2015
Journal of Environmental Management
In part, this is attributable to insufficient attention being paid to the social and governance processes that drive decisions and can undermine their implementation. ...
Scenario planning that draws on social-ecological systems (SES) analysis provides a useful means to systematically explore and anticipate future uncertainties regarding the interaction between humans and ...
We thank the workshop participants who contributed their time and expertise to our research, and in particular Gillian Anderson for her contributions and support. ...

Business-managed IT: A Conceptual Framework and Empirical Illustration
2018
European Conference on Information Systems
From a practical point of view, the distinction can be used to discuss the distribution of task responsibilities for information systems. ...
This paper therefore proposes the term "Business-managed IT" to describe "overt" information systems developed or managed by business entities. ...
One step further, board members or IT managers may have some minor information that a business workgroup or end user operates an own system. ...
