Abstract:

This thesis considers the question of organisational development in Iraq and the role that senior public managers in the public sector of the economy in that country may have in the process. The argument begins with a consideration of the history of the country with special reference to the factors contributing to political instability, economic backwardness and the emergence of state planning of the economy. An understanding of the role of management in public sector organisations and the importance of organisation itself is developed through a consideration of scholarly work concerned with d

This thesis describes research into business user involvement in the information systems application building process. The main interest of this research is in establishing and testing techniques to quantify the relationships between identified success factors and the outcome effectiveness of 'business user development' (BUD). The availability of a mechanism to measure the levels of the success factors, and quantifiably relate them to outcome effectiveness, is important in that it provides an organisation with the capability to predict and monitor effects on BUD outcome effectiveness.
