“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Wroe, Brenda (1986): Towards the Successful Design and Implementation of Computer Based Management Information Systems in Small Companies. In: Harrison, Michael D. and Monk, Andrew (eds.) Proceedings of the Second Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers II August 23-26, 1986, University of York, UK. pp. 217-234.

“The coincidence of general economic depression, keen competition and the microelectronics revolution has presented small companies with the need and the opportunity to implement relatively sophisticated computer-based management information systems (CBMIS). However the implementation is rarely troublefree and the effectiveness of the resultant live CBMIS often fails to meet the expectations of the management and users. Research into the success of CBMIS development in the small business environment was recently undertaken in a longitudinal study of ten small U.K. construction companies. The primary aim was to identify the nature of problems experienced in the CBMIS development process, and suggest guidelines for achieving greater success in the small business sector. A model was derived to explain the interaction or organisational, application and system development process variables in determining the success of CBMIS.”
