Information Systems Development Project Failures

Introduction

Development of information system is high-risk task, but frequent failures persist despite progress in the development of tools and technologies. Out intensive research in IS failure in recent years has provided professionals to thwart continued high failure rate. Despite the bad press it receives, the failure has played a key role in shaping organizational dynamics. The test objective is to illustrate the interaction between the notions of IS failure and the organizational and management that causes the failure. The current paper is to critically assess the concepts of failure, followed by a comprehensive review of management and organizational factors that have been studied by several researchers. Some of the most important aspects of the failure of the SE bug mentioned in the trial are easy to participation and user acceptance, managerial, organizational alignment and support the abandonment of the project. This approach applies to a case study in order to demonstrate factors such as user participation, user dissatisfaction and poor design leads to failure in the organization. Finally conclusions are drawn based on the definitions of failure examined the factors that cause failure and features related to the organization and management.

Discussion

Information System plays a vital role in the success of any organization. Today in the era of competition and globalization, the development of information systems is essential for an organization to survive in the market for key customers. Most companies today to go on board with the latest information of the system in this condition many complications of organizational, administrative and technical emerge that serve as resistance to change and ultimately leads to failure.

Is the development and implementation is a complex process and its success rate is less than its failure. The IS failure itself has always been difficult to define because of its complexity. One aspect of organizational management and leads to failure of the system is not meeting expectations despite the system works as expected. Researchers have differently defined as the inability to meet the expectations of stakeholders (Beynon-Davies, 1995).

Over time, the factors that cause is failure have been understood and defined differently. Several of the researchers blame the technicality of the SI, while some issues have a social responsibility as a user of giving up and not the system. Several factors related to IS failure as the participation of users, insufficient management support, inadequate organizational alignment is found to be common among the community of management and users in many organizations. (Prof. Lucas IntronA, University of Lancaster, the day 5) Despite the pessimism, failure has played a crucial role in the evolution of information systems. (M and Howcroft D Wilson, 2002) The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the concept and definition of failure and managerial and organizational aspects of the society of the failures as well as different ways these are studied by various researchers. Before the academic literature, along with case studies to critically analyze the author's opinion about ...
