ㄒA comparison of the path coefficients of the two knowledge variables in Figure 2 tentatively suggests that the IT unit’s business application domain knowledge outweighs the importance of the client department’s technical knowledge. Caution is warranted in drawing this conclusion because a respondent-induced bias cannot be ruled out (i.e., the IT unit respondent could have self rated her department’s business knowledge as being higher and the client department’s technical knowledge as being lower). Furthermore, the means and standard deviations of DCR decentralization (3.76; SD 1.45) and DMR centralization (4.36; SD 1.36) reveals that they are close to the midpoint. This suggests that there might be more interdepartmental sharing of both classes of project decision rights between IT and client departments than assumed in prior research.
