The Transmission of Control in Information Systems Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Control transmission represents a central problem in any type of organization. However, while prior research has extensively studied the factors influencing the choice of control modes as well as the effects and dynamics of control, the transmission of control from controller to controllee has been largely neglected in the project control literature. Our study addresses this gap by examining in-depth the transmission of control in a large IS project involving multiple control dyads. Our preliminary results suggest that outcome control transmits well through the entire project hierarchy (i.e., between senior managers and project managers as well as between project managers and project team members), while behavior control only transmits well between project managers and project team members.

متن کاملA Conceptual Methodology for Transportation Projects Selection
Selection of appropriate infrastructure transportation projects such as highways, plays an important role in promotion of transportation systems. Usually in evaluation of transportation projects, because of lack of information or due to long time and high expenditures needed for gathering information, different effective factors are ignored. Thus, in this research, regarding multi criteria na...
متن کاملDesign of Sliding mode control for stochastic systems subject to packet losses
In this paper, we examine the design of a sliding mode control for stochastic systems with data packet losses. It is assumed that there is a network connection in the system's feedback loop and that part of the information may be lost during transmission. The innovation of this paper is to peresent a new method with better performance In this paper, we first consider an estimated method to com...
