Description

Failing to balance standardization and evolveability in IS design and implementation process results sustainability failure which is common in developing country. IS research provides various IS design solution including layered modular architecture to address both evolveability and standardization simultaneously. However, this design solution requires appropriate IT governance mechanisms which lacks both theoretical and empirical explanation in IS research. The core of this research is understanding IT governance mechanism design that can balance standardization and evolveability in the course of IS design and implementation. The research uses the case of District Health Information System-2 (DHIS-2), layered modular architecture, design and implementation in public health care context of Ethiopia. The major research question guiding this study is how IT governance mechanism design and its interplay with IS architecture design shape DHIS-2 design and implementation process towards standardization and/or evolveability? The research strategy adopted in this case will be based on an interpretive case study approach.
