Abstract

This research aims to shed light on a subject with lack of research in a society that seems modern and open to the world, but simultaneously suffers from perpetual political conflict making any form of modernization impossible. The research uses Lebanon as a context; despite a very difficult economic environment and limited financial flexibility, Lebanese companies are realizing the need to develop their distinctive capabilities Hoftsede (Cultural Tools, Comparison coutr in, [14]) by developing their information resources. Our research focuses on LSCA, an insurance company leader in the Lebanese market. This paper encompasses literature review of development and adaptation of information technology to human resource department. Furthermore, it shows contributions that may result from implementing a new HRIS (Human Resource Information System) in a Lebanese company issues supporting its acquirement despite the costs related, the magnitude of change, the use of its features, and most of all its primary role of decision-making. Finally, it concludes that local communities modernization may be a key factor of the implementation and development of the HRIS in companies, especially the LSCA.
