Management Information Systems: The Human Factor
Diran, Kevin M.
Journal of Higher Education, 49, 3, 273-82, May/June 78
The reasons underlying the "failure" of a management information and planning system at a unit of a large urban university system are examined. The problems experienced include the level of expectations, methodology of implementation, and degree of commitment or perceived self-interest. The factors relate to human rather than technological aspects of systems development. (Author/LBH)
