The Organizational Validity of Management Information Systems
Open accessAbstract
Organizational validity refers to the “fit” between an information system and its organizational context of use. This paper applies the concept to MIS and extends it beyond earlier formulations. The conditions fostering invalid systems and two processes by which organizational validity is achieved, integration and negotiation, are discussed. Finally, the desirability of increasing validity as a strategy of improving system effectiveness is assessed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
