Title: The
Analysis of User Involvement in Development &
Implementation of Computerized Information Systems and Perceived
Usefulness Case
Study in Saudi
Arabia
Abstract: As
strategic and operating conditions become increasingly
unstable due to factors such as hyper-competition, increasing demands
from
customers, regulatory changes, and technological advancements, the
ability to
perceive relevant change and respond readily becomes an important
determinant
of firm success, their managers increasingly need accurate and timely
performance indicators to manage and lead them. In this pursuit
enterprises are
increasingly turning to computer information systems to seek support
for
enterprise performance measures to aid goal setting, monitor progress,
identify
and draw attention to financial implications of organizational
decisions,
facilitate internal benchmarking, identify inefficiencies in core
business
operations, and identify cost saving and operation improvement
opportunities The
paper objective is to identify whether in the 100 most
financially successful organizations in Saudi Arabia are employing
'good
practice', in terms of ensuring the degree of involvement experienced
by
respondents during both systems development and system implementation
by
assessing stakeholders' views, values, attitudes, and beliefs
pertaining to
their computer information system ( CIS).
