John Naisbitt在他的書《全球悖論》中說:“世界經濟越大，其較小的參與者就越強大。”大型國際公司正在解構自己，創造新的結構，以便在新的世界秩序中生存。重構、規模調整、網絡組織和虛擬公司等概念正迅速成為商業實踐中的共同主題。國際戰略聯盟也在增加，因為沒有任何一家公司和任何一個國家能夠單獨在新的全球游戲中取得成功。這些技術資源的組織應用和管理影響需要一個論壇來討論這些問題。《全球信息管理雜志》(JGIM)可發揮重要作用，為研究人員和實踐者提供這樣一個論壇，分享全球信息資源管理領域的前沿知識。

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.
