Abstract

The aim of every business organization is to survive amid the competition and the turbulent nature of business environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between information system development approaches and organizational competitive advantage of business organizations in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted the explanatory and quantitative method, hence correlational research design is employed to investigate the correlation between the study variables with target population of 45 respondents as the study population. Krejcie and Morgan determination table was used to derived the study sample size of (40) participants. The closed ended structured 4 points Likert scale Questionnaire was constructed for use in data gathering. Collected data were coded into a format and analysed with the aid of Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Statistics and presented using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software package for ease of interpretations. The findings showed low and moderate significant relationship between the first dimension of information system development approaches -Waterfall approach and the two measures of organizational competitive advantage – customers’ requirement and business performance. The second dimension of information system development approaches – Agile Management Approach significantly correlates with the two measures of organizational competitive advantage – customers’ requirements and business performance. Therefore, we recommended that, when developing information system for business organizations, the aims and objectives should determine the recommended approach to be used by system developers. Keywords: Information System Development Approaches, Waterfall Approach, Agile Management Approach, Organizational Competitive Advantage

尼日利亚河州哈科特港商业组织的信息系统开发方法和组织竞争优势

每个商业组织的目标都是在竞争和动荡的商业环境中生存下来。本研究旨在探讨尼日利亚河州哈科特港商业组织的资讯系统开发方法与组织竞争优势之间的关系。本研究采用解释与定量相结合的方法，因此采用相关研究设计来考察研究变量与45名被调查者作为研究人群的目标人群之间的相关性。采用Krejcie和Morgan确定表导出(40)名参与者的研究样本量。构建封闭式结构化4点李克特量表问卷用于数据收集。收集的数据被编码成一种格式，并借助皮尔逊积矩相关系数统计进行分析，并使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)软件包进行呈现，以便于解释。研究结果表明，信息系统开发方法的第一个维度——瀑布方法与组织竞争优势的两个衡量指标——客户需求和业务绩效之间存在低显著和中等显著的关系。信息系统开发方法的第二个维度——敏捷管理方法与组织竞争优势的两个衡量标准——客户需求和业务绩效显著相关。因此，我们建议，在为商业组织开发信息系统时，目的和目标应该决定系统开发人员使用的推荐方法。关键词:信息系统开发方法，瀑布方法，敏捷管理方法，组织竞争优势
