In order to examine the implications of transferring information technology to the developing countries, identifies four Turkish organizations which had pioneered executive information systems (EIS). Conducts extensive interviews with both the executive users and the support staff explaining that the scarcity of EIS applications in the country required such a qualitative case\u2010study approach. Observes that conditions in developing countries are greatly different from those of developed countries, and the reasons for research into such differences in conditions are manifold, the maturity level of IT and the sociocultural environment being the most important aspects. Concludes that the cultural environment has very important implications for organizational and managerial practices as well as for the implementation of information technologies which attempt to provide increasingly close support to managerial decision making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/09593849610129095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,28]],"date-time":"2002-07-28T18:48:52Z","timestamp":1027882132000},"page":"55-84","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Information technology transfer to a developing country"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Melih","family":"Kirlidog","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022031320380653600_b1","unstructured":"Armstrong, P.
