Behavioral Considerations
A new information system
creates new work relationships
among existing personnel.
It creates changes in job content
and perhaps a change in the
formal organizational structure.

Behavioral Considerations
The user cooperation needed to operate
the system successfully should be ensured

A philosophy of user-oriented design fosters
a set of attitudes and an approach to systems
development that consciously considers
the organizational context.
