Introduction
Recently, research on measuring the success of information systems in
organizations has proliferated and has nearly become a standalone stream
within the information systems research field. This research stream is
considered one of the top ten issues of information systems management.
However, more research is needed to identify factors that contribute to
information systems effectiveness. To date, a number of information systems
success models have been introduced, such as the McLean and DeLone IS
Success model and Seddon’s Model. However, the scope and approach of these
IS success studies has created little consensus on the assessment of IS
success. New approaches may better identify, explain, and improve the
various measurements of these models.

Objectives of the Book

This book will establish and explore existing and emerging theories on
information systems success, present the latest empirical research findings
in the area of information systems success and measurement from an
organizational perspective, and explore new technologies and practices in
this area. The purpose of this book is to expand the knowledge and
understanding of information systems success and measurement for a better
and successful implementation in organizations.

researchers working in the field of information systems success and
measurement. Moreover, the book will also be a reference for researchers,
