A dynamic environment is a major source of uncertainty that canbe reduced through mechanisms that increase information processing[79]. Consequently, business environments with greater turbulencewill experience greater urgency for information systems that provideaccurate information.Long wait times for systems to become operational are unacceptablein dynamic, uncertainmarkets [67]. In Allen et al.'s [2] investigation of ISarchitectures, they conclude that a dispersed rather than a centralizedinformation system architecture is key to the swift implementation ofnewsystems. Likewise, when the environment dictates greater urgencyfor information, it creates a need for a decentralized data warehousesolution. The IDM or DBA architectures are decentralized architecturesthat satisfy the urgent need for a warehousing solution; whereas, anEDW architecture, a centralized architecture, requires more time toimplement.Hypothesis 2A (H2A). Organizations with high urgency are morelikely to select an IDM than an EDW architecture.Hypothesis 2B (H2B). Organizations with high urgency are morelikely to select a DBA than an EDW architecture.
