ANALYSIS
HISTORY
RELX (formerly known as Reed Elsevier) is a parent company of LexisNexis.
According to Trudi Ballard Hahn and Charles P. Bourne, LexisNexis (originally
known as Lexis) is historically remarkable as it was the 1st of one of the information
services to think of a future in which a large population would directly deal with
computer databases as a substitute for professional intermediaries like librarians.
Other information services firms during the 1970s faced structural, financial, and
technological hindrances and were forced to flee to the professional intermediary
mode until the early 1990s.
The LexisNexis began working in western Pennsylvania in 1956 when attorney John
Horty set about to explore the uses of CALR technology in aid of his work on
comparative law at the University of Pittsburgh Health Law Centre. Horty was
shocked to learn how much state hospital governing laws varied across the United
States, so he started creating a computer database to assist him to keep track of
everything.
In 1965, Horty’s work persuaded the Ohio state bar association (OSBA) to
autonomously build its CALR system, Ohio Bar Automated Research (OBAR). In
1967, OSBA contracted with a data corporation (a local defense contractor), to
develop OBAR on the bases of OSBA’s written specification. Data began to execute
OBAR on Data central, a collective full-text search system created in 1964 as Recon
Central to assist U.S. Air Force intelligence analysts in searching text summaries of
the information contained in aerial and satellite reconnaissance images.

LexisNexis Workplace Health
One of LexisNexis' fundamental values, "valuing our people," is demonstrated in how
we handle worker health and safety concerns. Health and safety are no longer
perceived as a burden of compliance but rather as crucial to the well-being and
productivity of our workforce. All LexisNexis workers are obligated to abide by the
Reed Elsevier Code of Ethics, which includes a section on the value of employee
health and safety. This guarantees that we will give every employee a secure
environment.
Its code states that "...in addition, there are laws and regulations that impose
responsibility on Reed Elsevier to safeguard against safety and health hazards." This
commitment includes communication on problems relating to health and safety.
Through staff and work councils, we consult with employees across the globe on
health and safety problems, so we have created a network of Health and Safety
Champions to talk about policies and best practices.
CONTINGENCY THEORY
Contingency theory means an approach or an appropriate action developed
considering the external environment and internal need. In short contingency theory
talks about how and what should be the course of action in response to the events in
the environment. LexisNexis used a contingency approach as at the beginning of 1970
they started using the technology to provide data and information to lawyers on their
desks removing the barrier of a librarian. It was an approach to running in a changing
environment. There isn’t any universal principle of management or any best way of
performing things. Activity done by the manager depends on the circumstances and
environment. The contingent theory provides a suitable alternative approach for the
actions which are contingent on the external and internal environment. As my firm
analyzes the suitable and appropriate action in the use of technology in the field
providing customers with legal documents, journals, and research papers which was
which took a strong strategy formulation, ambitious and courageous decision making,
diplomatic leadership effective organizational improvement, and focused design of
organization structure.
