Paper Abstract:
|
Although information systems projects are social activities which require interactions amongst those involved, literature provides little understanding of how organizational culture plays a role during the activities. This paper argues that organizational culture is one of the contributing factors which influence the outcome of IS projects. Failure and success of information systems projects is an over-studied area but notwithstanding this, how other facets affect these outcomes is still inadequately addressed in literature. To this point, this paper aims to bridge this knowledge gap by describing how organizational culture may be influencing information systems projects, especially in the context of a South African bank. The paper subsequently suggests ways to improve the outcome by giving insights into how organizational culture manifests and its influence on information systems projects. |
