Towards a contingency theory of control in Information systems development projects

Control Balancing in Information Systems Development Offshoring Projects

Table A1 depicts our research process, including the main steps as well as associated tasks and outcomes. While the table depicts a linear process, we adhered to grounded theory practice and were highly iterative in our approach. For example, the process analysis was conducted in parallel with substantive and theoretical coding. Furthermore, data collection and analysis tasks were highly intert...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Strategy, Management Accounting Systems, and Performance of Iranian Petrochemical Companies in the Light of Contingency Theory

In the present business atmosphere, an organization should be able to respond to environmental needs occasioned by rapid and dynamic evolution as quickly as possible. It is obvious that such ability is impossible without a proper strategic approach, strategic thinking, and a suitable management accounting system. This study attempts to investigate the relationships between strategy, management ...

An Assessment of the Contingency Theory of Management Information Systems

Power Distance in Information Systems Offshoring Projects - A Control Theory Perspective

Controlling IS offshoring projects is a great challenge because of the inherent uncertainty of such projects. In such settings, informal controls are assumed to become increasingly effective. However, still little is known about the factors that influence the effectiveness of informal controls. We argue that the vendor manager’s power distance orientation—a key cultural construct that reflects ...
