John Naisbitt在他的書《全球悖論》中說:“世界經(jīng)濟(jì)越大，其較小的參與者就越強(qiáng)大。”大型國際公司正在解構(gòu)自己，創(chuàng)造新的結(jié)構(gòu)，以便在新的世界秩序中生存。重構(gòu)、規(guī)模調(diào)整、網(wǎng)絡(luò)組織和虛擬公司等概念正迅速成為商業(yè)實(shí)踐中的共同主題。國際戰(zhàn)略聯(lián)盟也在增加，因?yàn)闆]有任何一家公司和任何一個(gè)國家能夠單獨(dú)在新的全球游戲中取得成功。這些技術(shù)資源的組織應(yīng)用和管理影響需要一個(gè)論壇來討論這些問題。《全球信息管理雜志》(JGIM)可發(fā)揮重要作用，為研究人員和實(shí)踐者提供這樣一個(gè)論壇，分享全球信息資源管理領(lǐng)域的前沿知識。

John Naisbitt, in his book, Global Paradox, says "the bigger the world economy, the more powerful its smaller players." Big international companies are deconstructing themselves and creating new structures to survive in the new world order. Concepts like reengineering, rightsizing, network organizations and the virtual corporation are fast becoming the common theme in business practice. International strategic alliances are also on the increase based on the notion that no single company and no single country can alone be a successful player in the new global game. The organizational applications and managerial implications of these technology resources warrant a forum for the discussion of these issues. The Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) has an important role to play in providing such a forum for researchers and practitioners to share leading-edge knowledge in the global information resource management area.
