Abstract

Failure of computerization projects and projects involving information technology is not a rare occurrence (to put it euphemistically). Studies have indicated that typically over 60% of I.T projects fail (Mac lead 1995). In Pakistan, several organizations have gone through a similar experience of projects that failed to deliver the promised results; projects that were abandoned halfway through or projects completed but never used by intended end-users. This paper is based on lessons learned from case studies and focuses on managerial lack of understanding about information technology and the process of computerization.
