Abstract
Is information systems development (ISD) an organisationally legitimate and appropriate change measure? This is a fundamental question for information systems (IS) practitioners and researchers. It is one possible question that a change analysis (CA) tries to answer. Before one starts to develop or procure an information system, one needs to be sure that this kind of measure really will solve problems and realise goals. Change analysis is. an investigation with the purpose to perform a diagnosis of a current organisational situation and a determination of appropriate change measures. A basic idea of CA is not to take ISD or any other type of change for granted. Determined change measures should be well-founded through an unbiased analysis.
