Abstract
This paper reports on a work-in-progress investigation into operational risks in information systems (IS). It presents provisional outcomes of the initial exploratory inquiry into IS operational risks (ISOR). The study’s contribution to the emerging ISOR theory includes: (a) analysis of complexity and agility as persistent risk factors in production IS; (b) insights into ISOR of inadequacy; and (c) examination of ISOR dimensions (work-in-progress). The study provides sound foundation to further quantitative studies aimed at tailored responses to idiosyncratic operational risks in IS.
