Journal of Enterprise Information Management (JEIM)



The Journal of Enterprise Information Management (JEIM) invites submission of quality manuscripts for a special issue on ‘Managing Information in Education’.



Introduction



JEIM strives to publish high quality articles of significant intellectual interest and commercial relevance to managers, consultants, lecturers and students operating within business enterprise environments. All papers submitted to JEIM are initially filtered by the Editor and then subjected to rigorous review by a team of qualified internationally acknowledged academics. JEIM now has a history of contributing to the normative literature, providing conceptual and practical insights and generating innovative ideas from recent research into organisational enterprise.



JEIM (ISSN#1741-0398) [Link] is currently in its 27th year of publication, is published and distributed six (6) printed issues a year by Emerald Group Publishing Ltd in UK. The journal aims to publish articles that will be of value and interest to business managers, consultants, teachers and students concerned with issues of enterprise and management. In all cases, the aim is to feature practical applications.



Special Issue Scope:



JEIM now invites scholarly articles and research notes for a special issue on "Managing Information in Education".  A review of published literature reveals that although there is copious work on specific applications of information technology in education, the outcome of investments in such applications is sometimes uncertain, or even poor.  Poor outcomes are an issue for management, and yet there is very little published work that examines information technology and systems in education from a management perspective.  This is a domain that we will refer to here as "information management in education", so as to maintain a broad view of current practice and an open mind as to what can be done to improve the return on information management investments in education.



In the absence of a reliable body of literature concerning the management of information (and information technologies, and information systems) in education, the objective of this special issue of JEIM is to establish a basis for a proper understanding of current information management practice in education, and to explore theories and models (both specific and general) that can elucidate that understanding.
