Proposal Submission Deadline: January 15, 2011

 

A book edited by

Dr. Zakariya Belkhamza

and 

Dr. Syed Azizi Wafa

 

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.
