Abstract: That management involvement in information systems (IS) development is correlated with success in IS implementation has long been accepted (Poll, William J. 1985. Avenues for top management involvement in successful MSI development. MIS Quart. 9 (1, March) 43--49.). Initially, management found it difficult to become involved much beyond the front end of IS development because of the extreme difference between the methods and languages of the management and data processing (DP) worlds. One of the most important developments that have enabled management to participate more fully in IS development has been the information analysis methodologies. These have enabled the data and processes of business systems to be analyzed in purely logical terms, producing a logical data model independent of any DP terminology or hardware considerations.
