Organizational culture is a unique property of an academic department to create and boost scientific value for humanity. Our department is established recently (2011) and we are willing to embed scientific best practices, and to create an efficient academic climate and culture in the Department of Management Information Systems. With The Field Manual, we are trying to create a strategic framework to support main processes of the department.
In The Field Manual for the Members of the Department of Management Information Systems, reader can find various subjects which are related to departmental strategy and viewpoints, intrinsic workflows and approaches, implicit rules and regulations, current functions and actions. For many people this document may seemed to be an effort for nothing, a mental waste, or a weird point of view which try to create an artificial social architecture. However, such opinions will also be exist in the future regardless of efforts to create a knowledge-based society.
On the other hand, this document reflects a critical thinking exercise for the system which is based on verbalization. Document-based systems are more powerful and more sustainable as the reader can recognize their effects on various world-wide practices. So, we should create a well-documented architecture for an academic department to create more value for the society.
Our core values are based on the concepts declared below to get works done! They are binded to all processes related to the department.
