The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper is based on a case study featuring the introduction of a new Management Information System in a large, corporate-structured, project-engineering organisation. The aim was to review the project and to assess perceptions of success amongst different stakeholder interests. To this end, the responses of senior managers, system-developers and end-users including project-managers within the respective business units, were evaluated by detailed interview. The paper highlights the considerable perceptional differences revealed, discussing and linking experiences in this project to a number of issues appearing in the literature.
