Change Management Research Unit, Sheffield Business School, Totley Hall Lane, Sheffield S17 4AB, UK
There is an increasing concern about how to link information systems with corporate strategy. Recent methodologies of office information system development have begun to deal with this question in different ways, while continuing to reflect a concern with organisational issues of acceptability to users and job design, which emerged in the 1970s, and earlier technical ones. This paper compares seven current office information system development methodologies in the conceptual framework of a dynamic interrelatedness of strategy, technology, people and organisation structure.
