| Abstract: | The importance of information systems in today's complex and dynamic environment only heightens the challenge of how to successfully develop information systems. Unfortunately, evidence suggests that systems development is not improving as it should. In addition to a growing two to four year application backlog, research indicates that only about 25% of all developments are successful. These factors have contributed to the so-called ''software crisis.'' Innovations ranging from CASE tools to prototyping to object-oriented development have been introduced in the recent past. However, subsequent research on these areas indicate that many of the tools such as CASE, techniques such as prototyping, and methodologies in general are not widely utilized. If these innovations are meant to improve software development, why are they not being used? This research is part of an on-going series of studies by Hardgrave, Davis, and Riemenschneider to develop a theoretical model to assist organizations in assessing the determinants of actual use of development methodologies. This particular study examines the antecedents to the direct determinants found in previous studies |
