Users and information technology: analysis of task information fit model

Abstract

The objective of information technologies is multifold including many ranging from collection to presenting vital information for decision makers. It is more valuable to design systems that suits better the information requirements of the business than a tightly integrated one. This paper combines task and information characteristics at conceptual level from business management perspective. We propose a task information fit (TIF) model, which addresses the user acceptance of information systems by means of information quality provided. The model is applied and validated on a case study, which demonstrated the effect of power users on product development and user acceptance in correlation with TIF model.
