The implication of dissipative structure theory to enterprise information system

This paper uses the dissipative structure theory to generate fresh insights that may help enterprises better understand and manage the EIS, Because the EIS fundamental structure embodies many characteristics of dissipative system which balance 'chaos' with 'order', the paper analyzes EIS under the non-equilibrium management entropy model and points out the importance of introducing negative entropy into the EIS for the first time. Two suggestion of building extended EIS and component-based system was made for the future developments of EIS.
