A Cognitive Approach to IS Requirement Analysis: Mental Model Building from Case Study

Abstract

<p class="Abstract">Abstract&mdash;Determination of requirements is critical for development of a new information system prior to the IS design. A good system design not only fulfills user needs, but is also a required concern for specific and future development in industry. Past researches show many tools have been introduced to generate information system requirements; however, they lack cause-effect relationships among factors. The purpose of this study is to identify system requirements and their cause-effect relationship determination process to serve emerging needs. The goal of this study is to assess potential organization needs in order to get a better foundation for system development and effectiveness.&nbsp; Case study and mental models approach were used to demonstrate the relationships between the requirements for a new system. The results indicate leading vendor effect, management support, and user needs are important for system development. These findings should heighten organization information systems selecting and investment decisions.</p
