End‐user computing and information systems methodologies

Abstract: End‐user computing is a growing area within the information technology (IT) industry. The number and size of end‐user‐developed applications is steadily increasing, yet little attention is paid to the way in which such applications are developed, and their impact upon organizations. In this paper we examine the relationship between information systems methodologies and the end‐user‐computing environment. In particular, the potential benefits and disadvantages of the use of information systems methodologies for… Show more

“…UI refers to innovation by lead users who have strong needs that may be common to other users in the future (von Hippel, 1986). End user development is one type of UI that grew strong during the 1990s, when users were given fourth generation development tools (Sayles, 1990) to frame their daily problems and search for solutions, i.e., to allow them to develop information systems on their own (Taylor, Moynihan, & Wood-Harper, 1998). Hence, according to Arnstein's (1969) classification of participation, the problem-owners have full control of the development effort.…”

“…importance of extracting end-user needs and perspectives has been articulated in the information systems literature for several years [27][28][29]. When the end-user needs are well understood, organizations can expect greater levels of acceptance and diffusion of technology, greater levels of satisfaction, and more effectively aligned systems with organizational needs [30][31][32]44].…”
