An exploratory study on information system development methodologies adoption: utilizing delphi technique and analytical hierarchy process

Information System Development Methodologies (ISDM) has attracted a lot of interest and research from industry and academia. While several organizations report that they use ISDM successfully and view them as an essential approach to improve the quality and to increase the productivity of the software development process, others argue about the benefit of using these methodologies and claim that they do not use any ISDM in practice. Various researchers argue that ISDM are an important resource in business and industry and have a critical potential impact on performance. However, there are many concerns when an organization attempts to adopt ISDM. The issue of whether or not the organization will get a quality information system as a result of adopting a particular ISDM remains open. The main objective of this study is to examine ISDM adoption in Omani organizations based on both secondary and primary data analysis.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
