IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringStructured Analysis (SA): A Language for Communicating Ideas
860 Citations1977Douglas T. Ross
The paper describes the rationalization behind some 40 features of the SA language, and shows how they enable rigorous communication which results in disciplined, recursive application of theSA maxim: "Everything worth saying about anything worth saying something about must be expressed in six or fewer pieces."
Management ScienceA Program for Research on Management Information Systems
834 Citations1973Richard O. Mason, Ian I. Mitroff
It is argued that most research and development to date on MIS has assumed only one underlying psychological type, one class of problem types, one or two methods of generating evidence, and, finally, one mode of presentation.
Management ScienceManagement Information Systems: Appreciation and Involvement
532 Citations1974E. Burton Swanson
The testing of several hypotheses in this setting indicates that managers who involve themselves with the MIS will appreciate the system, and that management who are uninvolved will be unappreciative.
Communications of the ACMCharacteristics of application software maintenance
430 Citations1978Bennet P. Lientz, E. Burton Swanson +1 more
The results of the analysis indicate that maintenance and enhancement do consume much of the total resources of systems and programming groups and user demands for enhancements and extension constitute the most important management problem area.

352 Citations1965C. West Churchman, A. H. Schainblatt
Management ScienceResearch in Management Information Systems: The Minnesota Experiments
340 Citations1977Gary W. Dickson, James A. Senn +1 more
Analysis of the results shows that, in many cases, the decisions/decision-making process of the participants was affected by the information system structure and/or attributes of individual decision makers.
Management ScienceThe Process and Product of System Design
259 Citations1978Richard J. Boland
This study addresses the as yet unexplored question of how a user should be involved in the system design process and found that for this ill-structured problem, the alternative interaction process produced higher quality designs with important implementation advantages.
International Conference on Software EngineeringSoftware requirements: Are they really a problem?
212 Citations1976Thomas E. Bell, T. A. Thayer
Data was analyzed to determine what kinds of problems occur and whether these problems are important, and the results are dramatic: software requirements are important, and their problems are surprisingly similar across projects.
Management ScienceAn Experimental Evaluation of Information Overload in a Production Environment
208 Citations1974Norman L. Chervany, Gary W. Dickson
The experiment, involving twenty two graduate business administration students devoting an entire week end to the decision making activity in a simulated, computer based environment, generated results showing significantly different performance according to the form in which information was presented.
MIS QuarterlyAn Experimental Investigation of Some MIS Design Variables
200 Citations1977Izak Benbasat, Roger G. Schroeder
An experiment was conducted to relate characteristics of an information system and a decision maker to the resulting decision making performance in a simulated inventory/production environment and the implication for information system design is discussed.
Journal of the Operational Research SocietyInformation Systems: Theory and Practice
178 Citations1990Simon Peck, John G. Burch +1 more
The Fundamentals of Building Information Systems: Building Innovative Information Systems is presented, which discusses the design of information system blocks and the management of Strategic Information Systems Planning.
Management ScienceSuccessful Information System Development Projects
103 Citations1977Bert Debrabander, Anders Edström
A formal theory for predicting the success of information system development projects is developed and one important managerial tool to establish effective user-specialist communication is suggested.
Management ScienceThe Design of Management Information Systems an Information Analysis Approach
101 Citations1975William R. King, David I. Cleland
A methodology for management information systems design which employs a formalized framework for significantly involving manager-users in the design process and develops descriptive and normative system models which are based on the concept of a “linear responsibility chart.”
MIS QuarterlyDetermining Management Information Needs: A Comparison of Methods
99 Citations1977Malcolm C. Munro, Gordon B. Davis
A comparison of the decision analysis (topdown) and data analysis (bottom-up) methods for determining management information needs in the preparation of management-oriented information system applications finds that both methods were about equal in providing information requirements.
ACM Computing SurveysA Survey of Information Requirements Analysis Techniques
76 Citations1977William Taggart, Marvin O. Tharp
The present tmn has two objectives 1) to revmw avmlab |e mformatmn analysis methods with a detmled look at several approaches; and 2) to suggest research to improve the usefulness of these methods.
Information & ManagementA prototype approach to information system design and development
68 Citations1977Laurent Bally, John Brittan +1 more
Alternative strategies for the development of an information processing system are discussed, with particular reference to a prototype strategy, which has some important advantages.
Information & ManagementAn investigation of information system utilization
61 Citations1977Stephen R. Barkin, Gary W. Dickson
The primary aim of this investigation was to determine whether factors that are internal to a decision-maker may affect the data selection process, and the results indicate there is a strong relationship between cognitive style and data selection.
ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation ReviewMeasurement of computer user satisfaction
56 Citations1980Sammy W. Pearson, James E. Bailey
The development and evaluation of a questionnaire designed to quantitatively measure computer user satisfaction and the administration, scoring, and interpretation of the questionnaire are addressed.
MIS QuarterlyCase Studies of End User Requirements for Interactive Problem-Solving Systems
54 Citations1977Eric D. Carlson, Barbara F. Grace +1 more
The results of case studies of the use of an interactive problem-solving system are presented and a list of user characteristics have been compiled relating to user behavior and user requirements.
INFORMS Journal on Applied AnalyticsWhy is Man-Computer Interaction Important for Decision Support Systems?
47 Citations1977Steven Alter
This paper attempts to shed some light on the whole issue of man-computer interaction and suggests that the authors should not allow their traditional jargon to shape current thoughts about the on-line tools they use now and the interactive tools they may use in the future.
The Computer JournalEvaluation of systems goals in determining a design strategy for a computer based information system
39 Citations1976Frank Land
Business HorizonsManager-analyst teamwork in MIS
27 Citations1971William R. King, David I. Cleland
The author outlines a process of manager-analyst interaction in the explication of these models that becomes a series of feed-back loops and the right information on an economic basis and a better understanding of the job and the decisions entailed.
