Resumen de An Empirical Analysis of End-User Participation in Software Development Projects in a Developing Country Context

Faith-Michael E. Uzoka

• Organizational information systems cannot produce any positive outcome unless the end-users accept, adopt and use it. In this paper, we report the results of an investigation of the perception gap between end-users and software developers regarding end-user participation in software development. Our analysis shows the existence of perception gap, which could affect the level of end-user participation in software development. The implication of this is poor acceptance of software system applications and failure of some software system projects.
