MIS QuarterlyPrototyping: The New Paradigm for Systems Development
340 Citations1982J. David Naumann, A. Milton Jenkins
The authors review published references to prototyping and related concepts, and synthesize a process model for information systems development that addresses today's critical issues and will no doubt raise a new set of research questions for tomorrow.
MIS QuarterlyEnd Users as Application Developers*
125 Citations1979E.R. McLean
To accomplish this transfer of application development from DP professional to DP user, certain key variables must be understood, including the nature of the development process, a user classification scheme, the scope and orientation of systems, and the respective roles of design and maintenance in the applications development life cycle.
MIS QuarterlyHeuristic Development: A Redesign of Systems Design
94 Citations1979Thomas Berrisford, James C. Wetherbe
The authors advocate providing or at least simulating user capabilities early in the systems development process, made possible by the use of an online relational-type Database Management System.
Communications of the ACMManaging application program maintenance expenditures
87 Citations1983Tor Guimãrães
A large number of variables thought to be determinants of application program maintenance expenditure have been studied through the inspection of application portfolios and personal interviews with top computer executives and systems development personnel.
MIS QuarterlyChauffeured Versus End User Access to Commercial Databases: The Effects of Task and Individual Differences*
86 Citations1983Mary J. Culnan
The task and individual characteristics of 184 professionals who accessed commercial database services to acquire external information directly or through an intermediary ("chauffeur") suggest that multiple access arrangements are necessary in order for organizations to make effective use of these and other types of online database systems.

33 Citations1984Tor Guimãrães
The continuing growth of user computing can be attributed primarily to advancements in technology, corresponding price reductions, and user dissatisfaction with the MIS response to their information requirements.
