Collaborating on Multiparty Information Systems Development Projects: A Collective Reflection-in-Action View (2005, background): “…of managing inter-organizational projects, this study bridges the gap between those researchers who emphasize control exhibited by the clients (Choudhury and Sabherwal 2003, Kirsch, et al. 2002) and those who emphasize control exhibited by consultants (Elkjaer, et al. 1991, Gable and Chin 2001).”
Interfirm Strategic Information Flows in Logistics Supply Chain Relationships (2009, unknown): “We also collect dyadic data and, by so doing, add to the thin pool of such research in the IS literature (Clemons and Row 1993; Kirsch et al. 2002; Klein et al. 2007; Malhotra et al. 2007; Straub et al. 2004b).”
Offshore information systems project success: the role of social embeddedness and cultural characteristics (2009, methodology): “Also, shared norms and values facilitate the effective functioning of teams, enabling team members to contribute their expertise toward collaborative tasks (e.g., Earley and Mosakowski 2000; Kirsch et al. 2002).”
Evolutionary Competition in Platform Ecosystems (2015, methodology): “Clan control was measured using three items adapted from Kirsch et al. (2002) that tapped into the extent to which the extension developer clearly understood the platform owner’s (1) goals, (2) values, and (3) norms. Output control over an extension developer used three reverse-scored items adapted ”
The Dynamic Structure of Management Support Systems: Theory Development, Research Focus, and Direction (2007, background): “Nonetheless, users have taken a more active role in systems development, so it is more critical than ever to better understand this facet of the development process (Kirsch et al. 2002).”
The Impact of Ideology on Effectiveness in Open Source Software Development Teams (2006, methodology): “Given the constraints of the sample size relative to the number of items measured, we followed other recent work (cf. Kirsch et al. 2002) and conducted factor analyses on subsets of items to assess convergent and divergent validity.”
A Control Theory Perspective on Agile Methodology Use and Changing User Requirements (2009, background): “Although previous research has identified key antecedents (e.g., Kirsch 1996, Kirsch et al. 2002) ) of various control modes, limited work identifies and theorizes the contingent role that they play in guiding teams toward project completion.”
Don't look now, but we've created a bureaucracy: the nature and roles of policies and rules in wikipedia (2008, background): “In the systems development literature, control has been defined more specifically from the behavioral sense as attempts to ensure that individuals on a project team act in accordance with a previously agreed-upon strategy to accomplish desired goals and objectives [21].”
Deploying Common Systems Globally: The Dynamics of Control (2004, background): “For example, some researchers argue that clan control is actually a form of behavior control, while others maintain these controls are distinct (Kirsch et al. 2002).”
Organizational Controls and Performance Outcomes: A Meta‐Analytic Assessment and Extension (2018, unknown): “These controllers may therefore find it difficult to specify effective procedures that controllees need to follow (Hendry, 2002; Kirsch et al., 2002).”
Research on information systems failures and successes: Status update and future directions (2014, background): “Without a project champion, any reasonable-sized IT project is unlikely to succeed (Kirsch et al. 2002).”
