Abstract:
In the world of Information Technologies the question of finding the best solution for particular business needs is ongoing debate for decades. This debate evolves with the development of technology. Effects of this spiral extend to social-organizational attitudes of people, rising new questions and requirements. The main goal of this study is to find an abstraction model to address the relations between information and task leading to better business performance. The goal of the abstraction is to eliminate the effect of time and technology. The goal of the study was to develop a model of Task Information Fit. Results indicate that the tool has been successful to model the underlying structure between system characteristics, task characteristics, information characteristics and their impact to perceived business success to some degree. TIF model targeted to discover the relation between task characteristics, information characteristics and their effect on business performance on per item basis. The correlations between the items supported the proposed relations. One of the unique contributions of this study is to reveal the underlying relations between task and information characteristics.
