Abstract

More and more business graduates are being required to develop and implement PC applications for themselves and their colleagues within their organisation. Currently businesses are experiencing problems with this end-user development due to incomplete information, incorrect design procedures and inadequate software knowledge. This paper explores the case study method for training undergraduate business students to be more effective end-user developers and how this relates to problems experienced in industry.
