nterdepartmental interdependence (respondent: MIS director) was measured using a Guttmann scale adapted from Sethi (2000) that assessed the level of integration of activities between the IT unit and client department that was ideally necessary over the project’s life cycle for the project to succeed. The anchors were:
(1) very low (little beyond requirements)
(2) low
(3) somewhat low
(4) moderate (some integration was needed)
(5) somewhat high
(6) high
(7) very high (substantial integration was needed throughout the project life cycle).
