“…Bansler et al (2000) touched on the topic in a passing comment about web designers who perceived a need to improve the "look and feel" of an intranet environment. Markus and Mao (2001) note that developers may have a goal of producing an aesthetic design, but these researchers do not provide any indication at all of what the phrase "aesthetic design" means or implies.…”

This paper is concerned with examining and recognizing aesthetics in an Information System (an organization incorporating both humans and information technology). Information Systems designers need to consider the aesthetics of their systems. To do this, they need some conception of what aesthetics is and is not. This paper constructs such a concept. IS designers must avoid thinking of a specific system component such as a graphical user interface as defining the aesthetic dimension of their work. Aesthetics emerge from the wholeness of things, not from specific parts or components. As such, aesthetics may naturally be considered in "systems", and we propose that an effective manner of thinking of aesthetics is in terms of "themes". We also argue that one must consider not only aesthetics that may be perceived by the senses (a passive dimension), but also aesthetics that may be conceived in the mind (an active dimension). We also consider the important differences between "definitions" (passive dimension) and "themes" (active dimension). Finally, the study of aesthetics in IS has greater implications than simply recognizing and appreciating beauty and art. The very human capacity for recognizing and appreciating beauty and art, the active aesthetic dimension, is also the same capacity for effective creativity and happiness. It follows that if an information system encouraged and provided the enabling circumstances for the human capacity of thematic recognition (as found in the human appreciation of art and beauty) it thereby also provides the grounds for effective creative and visionary organizational management.

“…The decentralized IS approach gives individual business units the autonomy over all of their own IS resources without any major considerations over other units, unless it is essential to the overall organization policy (Olson and Chervany, 1980). The IS literature considers the decentralized IS approach as a major promoter of organizational creativity due to the flexibility and responsiveness favored by the increased autonomy (Bansler et al, 2000;King, 1983). However, the lack of centralized control in decentralized IS can impede creative processes by increasing conflicting ideas, misunderstanding of problems, duplication of resources, effort, expertise, and time (Von Simson, 1990).…”

“…Although a rich IS literature has increased our understanding of why firms choose a centralized IS (Bansler et al, 2000;Brown and Magill, 1994;Brown, 1997;Sambamurthy and Zmud, 1999), little attention has been given to explain what organizational climate factors should be avoided to enhance organizational creativity through the use of a centralized IS.…”
