A descriptive and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) are provided. Additionally, the confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) the correlation and the regression analyzeFindings: From the results, the research reflects the status of IMS in Algeria. The findings suggest that the Algerian company have difficult to implementing the IMS. Research limitations/implications: One of the major limitations of this study is the small simple size, which precludes generalization of the findings. This study provides a starting point for further research in developing countries.Originality/value: This paper offers first key insights into IMS implementation in Algeria. This will encourage these organizations and developed countries in adopt IMS.
