This paper presents a framework for culturally influenced Information Systems Management (ISM), which is developed to resolve the increasing challenge of managing Information Systems (IS) in a complicated international environment. The framework consists of entities such as: ISM tasks, ISM actors, “Closed Loop”, and cultural influential factors; each of these entities will be explored on the basis of prior research publications from both ISM studies and national culture studies. The objective of this framework is to study management patterns for culturally influenced ISM in a cross‐cultural environment. The contribution of this framework is twofold: (1) to create clear relationships between national culture variables and ISM task domains, revealing how aspects of the national culture could impact ISM and what perspectives of the ISM might be influenced by national cultural variables; (2) to study critical factors of culturally influenced ISM and ascertain the management patterns of ISM in a cross‐cultural environment. In this regard, the framework is helpful for ISM in a complicated multinational environment by taking into account cultural differences.
