Abstract

In this paper, the roles of different information systems in an organization are identified using a framework called “Information Wheel”.

An information wheel is similar to a physical wheel in that it consists of a hub, spokes, rim and a tire. The parts of a physical wheel are made of material such as steel, rubber and plastics. The parts of the information wheel are made of different information systems.
