Society for Information Management (SIM) is a professional organization of over 4,500〔(About SIM Delivering Business Value through IT Leadership www.simnet.org )〕 senior information technology (IT) executives, Chief Information Officers, prominent academicians, selected consultants, and other IT thought leaders built on the foundation of local chapters, who come together to share and enhance their intellectual capital for the benefit of its members and their organizations. SIM's vision is to be recognized as the community that is most preferred by IT leaders for delivering vital knowledge that creates business value and enables personal development.〔(Luce, Dave, "Message from SIM" ''MIS Quarterly Executive'', Vol. 4 No. 4 / December 2005 )〕 ==History== The idea of SIM began during a break session at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) conference held in Las Vegas in August 1968. A conversation between Robert Head with the Software Resource Group and Herb Schwartz with the United States Atomic Energy Commission ensued on how current professional societies did not emphasize the managerial aspects of computing enough nor did they serve as a good communication mechanism between data processing managers and executive managers. That conversation was the basis for the formation of The Society for Management Information Systems (SMIS) which in 1982 became the Society for Information Management.〔Dickson, Gary W (August 1989) "A history of the Society for Information Management: the first 20 years". Published by the Society for Information Management〕 A founding committee was formed and the first meeting was held on November 22, 1968 at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in Washington D.C. The founders included Joseph P. Cunningham, Richard E. Dooley,〔(Eliot, Lance (1993). "A guided tour of the 1993 SIM annual conference, ''www.decisionsciences.org'' )〕 Dr. James C. Emory, Robert B. Forest, Robert V. Head, Dr. Alan J. Rowe, James G. Rude, M.H. Schwartz, Robert G. Stevens, W. Robert Widener and Robert K. Wilmouth. The first (founding) conference titled "Bridging the Gap Between the Management Function and Information Technology" with 250 attendees was held at the University of Minnesota on September 8–9, 1969. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Society for Information Management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
