Resumen
AbstractApplication of a linear regression model to different information system facets Evaluation techniques with regard to the information system function in organizations could well be used to serve as a tool to identify problem areas and the corresponding corrective actions to be taken. In the past quite a number of computer-based application systems have failed in large as well as small organizations not because of inadequate technical quality but because some important non-technical factors of critical importance for the success of the system have not been diagnosed timely. In a previous research project (Bruwer: 1983) a restricted linear regression model method has been used to evaluate the success of the information system function in organizations. In this article the same model is applied on three different areas of the information system function. These areas are: Aspects of strategic planning of information systems; evaluation of the use of micro-computer systems and the evaluation of computer facilities in organizations.
