This dissertation increases our understanding of information system project success by investigating how software development team members define the success of an information system development effort. The theoretical model of ISD success is developed and tested. ISD success is measured through...

Although methodology use generally leads to fewer software defects and reductions in development time, the introduction of a formalized systems development methodology is often met with substantial resistance. Motivated by the purported benefits of methodology use, yet resistance to the...

Advances in microcomputing hardware and software over the last several years have resulted in personal computers with exceptional computational power and speed. As the costs associated with microcomputer hardware and software continue to decline, manufacturers have begun to implement numerous...

This study investigates the relationship between threevisual representations (two-dimensional, three-dimensionalfixed, and three-dimensional rotatable) of multidimensionaldata, and the subjects' ability to make predictions basedon the data. Output of a momentum accounting system wassimulated and...

Organizations would like to capture and merge the perceptions of key individuals into an organizational memory. Various cognitive mapping approaches have been used to identify and capture these perceptions. However, merging the cognitive maps of individuals into a collective cognitive map to...
