Management's Role in Information System Development Failures: A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an example of an unsuccessful information systems development. The development failure is analyzed in case form, defined by nonuse of the system for its intended objective and an exodus of key systems developers. Organizational deficiencies in the area of project planning and control are highlighted. Practitioners and academics can benefit from the analysis and avoid similar pitfalls in their own work by sharing these experiences.

Calculation and Analysis of Reliability with Consideration of Common Cause Failures (CCF) (Case Study: The Input of the Dynamic Positioning System of a Submarine)
Abstract The reliability and safety of any system is the most important qualitative characteristic of a system. This qualitative characteristic is of particular importance in systems whose functions are under various stresses, such as high temperature, high speed, high pressure, etc. A considerable point, which is rarely taken into account when calculating the reliability and safety of syst...
متن کاملMTBF evaluation for 2-out-of-3 redundant repairable systems with common cause and cascade failures considering fuzzy rates for failures and repair: a case study of a centrifugal water pumping system
In many cases, redundant systems are beset by both independent and dependent failures. Ignoring dependent variables in MTBF evaluation of redundant systems hastens the occurrence of failure, causing it to take place before the expected time, hence decreasing safety and creating irreversible damages. Common cause failure (CCF) and cascading failure are two varieties of dependent failures, both l...
