TL;DR
Three development contexts are examined to provide a framework for understanding interactive software development projects and strategies to cope with the gaps between developers and prospective users are explored at the general level of the three development paradigms.
Abstract
Three development contexts are examined to provide a framework for understanding interactive software development projects. These contexts are the competitively bid, commercial product, and in-house/custom contexts development. Factors influencing interactive systems development are examined. Specific strategies to cope with the gaps between developers and prospective users are explored at the general level of the three development paradigms.>

641 Citations1987Susanne Bødker
This dissertation discusses human-computer interaction, and the role of user interfaces in use and design from the point-of-view of human activity theory, to suggest that a computer application, from the user's perspective, is not something that the user operates on but something thatThe user operates through on other objects or subjects.

331 Citations1987John D. Gould
This chapter describes the way in which usable systems can be designed, a combination of many factors, each of which is often developed independently, and how each aspect of usability should begin evolving from the beginning.

246 Citations1989Christine Floyd, Wolf-Michael Mehl +3 more
The Scandinavian Approach to the development of computer-based systems is identified in certain common features shared by the different schools of thought, including efforts toward humanization and democratization as overriding design goals, in keeping with the aim of building an egalitarian society.
