Towards Understanding Managing Requirements Engineering - A Case Study of a Thai Software House

چکیده
This paper uses a detailed case study of a Thai Software House to reconstruct the management process used in the Requirements Engineering in Thailand. Information Systems is rich in its understanding of Requirements Engineering and the application of ‘western’ concepts to process models. This paper uses the case study to show that the meanings generated in Requirements Engineering used in Thailand produce a different view of the management process as it relates to systems development. The paper suggests that this management process is infused with cultural practices which generate divergence from rationality and from structured management models created from ‘western’ studies. This paper reports one case study from within a larger study where a number of cases are used to generate suggestions about the Requirements Engineering process as it impacts on organisations within Thailand.
