Synopsis

This book examines the significance of user involvement in the design and success of information systems. The author proposes a problem-solving model as a framework for studying involvement and presents a measurement methodology for assessing its influence on design team performance. The model comprises three components: problem formulation, decomposition/distribution, and solution/synthesis, providing a valid basis to differentiate levels of influence among user and designer roles in actual design teams. Analysis supports existing theory that user involvement increases design team performance. The study also explores patterns of influence among roles across problem-solving components, termed involvement strategies, and classifies them into three types: interactive, user-driven, and designer-driven. Interactive strategies, where designers and users are highly involved in every aspect of problem-solving, correlate with high performance. This book offers valuable insights into the relationship between involvement and performance in design teams, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and user engagement throughout the design process.
