摘要
Survey research is used to determine what kind of post-mortem appraisals companies undertake concerning their abandoned IS development projects. The data suggest that most organizations do not keep records of their failed projects and do not make any formal effort to understand what went wrong or attempt to learn from their failed projects. A learning paradigm is suggested which companies could use as a guide to undertake post-mortem analysis of their abandoned IS development projects.
