Abstract
Although information technologies in business orgnaizations around the world may be very similar, the meanings conveyed through the technologies may be dependent on managerial values and national culture. Cultural differences need to be understood before information technology developed for an organization in one country can be effectively implemented in an organization in another country. Drawing on responses from multiple users of EIS across many organizations in Mexico and Sweden, and comparing these to multiple users from a previous study in the United States, the current study examined whether cultural differences influence the relationship between Executive Information Systems' use and various outcomes related to organizational intelligence, decision making, and structure. The study found significant differences, predictable by cultural factors, in the impact of EIS use. The findings confirm the notion that IT is used by executives to reinforce behaviors valued in their culture rather than that IT will reshape behaviors and values.
