Managing IT Complexity in the Manufacturing Industry – An Agenda for Action
Growing information systems (IS) often come along with grow-ing IT complexity, because of emerging rag rug landscapes. This development causes rising IT costs and dependencies, which hin-der the maintenance and expansion of the IS landscape. This ar-ticle outlines the current research on published a...
