An empirical analysis identified generic implementation issues, and suggested that three of them were quite important for differentiating between successful and unsuccessful MIS implementations.
Abstract
Previous analyses of the MIS implementation process have focused on the conduct of individual process stages as explanatory of successful or unsuccessful implementation. Process stages, however, involve multiple issues, and it is unlikely that all issues are equally important for good performance at a stage. This article attempts to identify generic implementation issues ᾢ those issues which arise at many process stages. An empirical analysis identified such issues, and suggested that three of them were quite important for differentiating between successful and unsuccessful MIS implementations.

The Relationship Between Investment in Information Technology and Firm Performance: A Study of the Valve Manufacturing Sector

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of an empirical test of the performance effects of IT investment in the manufacturing sector, and found that heavy use of transactional IT investment was significantly and consistently associated with strong firm performance over the six years studied.

Technology and firm performance: a study of the valve manufacturing sector

Peter Weill
TL;DR: Heavy use of transactional IT investment was found to be significantly and consistently associated with strong firm performance over the six years studied and neutral in the long term and associated only with relatively poorly performing firms in the short term.

On the Interpretation of Discriminant Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that it is extremely easy to run complex multivariate statistical analyses, however, it is not as easy to interpret the output of these programs as it is in this paper.

Bias in Multiple Discriminant Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that sample estimates of predictive power in N-way discriminant analysis are likely to be subject to a strong upward bias, which occurs because the discriminant technique tends to fit the sample data.
