  • Effective Information Systems: What's the Secret? Kirkham, Sandi Communication Audits Context Effect Cultural Context Informal Organization Information Systems Models Organizational Communication Organizations (Groups) Problems Systems Analysis Systems Development User Needs (Information) Argues that false assumptions about user needs implicit in methodologies for building information systems have resulted in inadequate and inflexible systems.
