GAINING USER ACCEPTANCE OF AN EIS

Abstract

A survey of representative CEOs suggests that senior executives do not completely agree with the design principles proposed by professional EIS developers. By tailoring aspects of the development and presentation of an EIS to meet these user perceptions, IS managers and developers increase the chances of user acceptance and a successful EIS implementation.
