TLDR
An interview based approach to gathering data on the effects of the introduction of a new system on the work lives of potential adopters and their preferences for, or feelings about, those activities and interactions is described.Abstract:
Planning for a successful MIS implementation requires understanding the effects of the introduction of a new system on the work lives of potential adopters. The effects can bee assessed by the MIS practitioner/change agent if the agent will first obtain a thorough and specific understanding of the task activities performed by potential adopters, the interactions they engage in as they perform their tasks, and their preferences for, or feelings about, those activities and interactions. An interview based approach to gathering this data is described, and a short description of an implementation in which the approach was used is provided.read more

Ken C. Snead,Adrian M. Harrell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ expectancy theory to explain managers' intentions to use a decision support system (DSS) and find that the variables of the expectancy force model are determinants of a manager's behavioral intention to use the DSS, and the expectancy valence model is determinant of the attractiveness of using a DSS to a manager.
