Abstract
The objective of this research report was to investigate some South African organizations who have been
operating information centres (IC's) successfully for more than two years. As the success of the IC is strongly
· reflected in the views of IC users it was felt important to establish those factors rated most important by the IC
users. This was achieved with a survey amongst the IC users of ten selected companies. A questionnaire was
developed by making use of previous research work done by Baillie & Pearson (1983). Brower I983a,1983b,1984,
Rockart & Flannary 1983 and Alloway 1980. Eighty four IC users in the ten companies completed the
questionnaire which in turn contained 63 questions. By means of regression methods fifteen factors could be
identified which explained 69% of the variation of the success factor.
