Summary:Bibliography: leaves 107-109. === The focus of this research is on change to systems, with systems being defined as a logical grouping of specific elements in the organisation which work collectively to achieve a common intent. A system can be computerised or manual, a computerised system is generally referred to as an Information System(IS). The research is thus further refined to observe change with respect to information systems. Change to an information system, within an organisation, can range from being relatively minor to catastrophic depending on the event or trigger which caused the change.
