Observations on the Use of Behavioral Models in Information Systems Research and Practice

Much of the gap between the potential of InformationSystems and their realization can be explained by behavioral andorganizational issues. This paper outlines the scope of behavioralresearch in information systems using selected examples, identifiesseveral principles underlying this work, and suggests reasons whythe results of this research are of value.
