Abstract

Conclusion Failure of the Computer Centre to recognise the pattern of the Co-op’s strategy migration led them to attempt an IIS regime that was diametrically opposed to the business strategy. The Computer Centre’s use of biased, political ‘justifications’ for their actions lost them further creditability. These political problems were exacerbated by the Computer Centre sinability to define the IIS’s common and local modules with traditional methods, despite numerous tries. Inexperience with the business realities outside the domestic arena, coupled with inadequate adherence to professional ‘good practice’ furthered the eventual failure of the project. For the formulation of a theory — in terms of the Grounded Theory approach — it is now necessary to carry out more analysis with additional cases to obtain theoretical saturation in one or more categories.
