The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation is a complex and active process, one that involves a mixture of technological and organizational interactions. Often it is the largest IT project that an organization has ever launched and requires a mutual fit of system and organization. Concept of an ERP implementation supporting business processes across different departments in organizat...

Global business information systems are examined with respect to current information systems development approaches. Many of the latter are deemed to be inadequate because they are inherently static, both in nature and in the way they are developed, and because they are both functionally and at the user interface level, not adaptive enough. An explanation for why this is so is oflered, through ...

The design of any complex products, such as information systems (IS), involves the coordination of different activities and knowledge. The systematisation of that knowledge must be considered in order to achieve IS levels of efficiency and effectiveness and to make organisations answers in turbulent times more agile. This paper presents an architecture of IS (CSIS – Concept System of Interventi...

The model of complex software development based on the applying of transition diagrams systems is considered in this paper. This model provides the minimization of elaboration time, improving the quality, and raising the technological level of the software.

Interpersonal conflict in information systems development (ISD) projects is common and has been identified as being detrimental to project outcomes. Prior research has primarily focused on assessing the impact of interpersonal conflict on ISD project outcomes. As such, little is known about the antecedents to conflict in ISD contexts. It is proposed here that understanding the conditions that l...

The development of Executive Information Systems (EISs), incurs risks. Success depends highly on how well the implementation process is managed in terms of technology and the users. Factors during the development process and especially during the use of he system can affect its eventual success. To study these factors we need to examine EISs use separately from the rest of the development cycle...

Based on the task-to-performance chain, this study seeks to investigate the implications and consequences of government employee performance via information systems. Data was collected from 847 employees of the Taipei City government through the stratified proportion sampling method. In addition, the multiple regression method is used to investigate factors that influence employee performance. ...

This paper explores the use of the alternative genre of satire in conjunction with conventional academic discourse in order to provide insight into information systems development and implementation in government. An outsourcing project for the development and implementation of a new payroll system for the New Zealand education sector provides the focus; this project was just one of a series of...

Critical Social Theory has been regarded as an alternative approach to information systems development in the era of ubiquitous information technologies and extensive applications. However, critical theorists have so far clarified few fundamental concepts to be actually discussed, planned and implemented in practical development initiatives to constitute a proper systems development approach. T...

Received: 17 December 2004 Revised: 5 August 2005 Accepted: 12 December 2005 Abstract Within the field of information systems development (ISD) most contributions concern formalised development methods and focus either on how they should be or on how they are used. In contrast, this paper explores the relationship between what influences and shapes a unique and local method and how it consequen...
