The competitive analysis of the usability of software products has been shown to be a useful tool to encourage the adoption of the user centred design philosophy within organisations. Furthermore, the enhanced usability of a customer facing software interface can be a source of competitive advantage for organisations. The usability of systems has also been shown to encourage the effective and efficient completion of tasks, which may have a significant influence on the operations of an organisation. With all this in mind, a methodology to compare the usability of software products between organisations may be useful. However, after a literature survey, no such methodology was found. This research study develops a methodology to conduct comparative inter-organisational usability evaluations, which is done with the use of design science research. es2026 Informatics MIT Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-08: Decent work and economic growth SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure 2018-08-17T09:42:40Z 2018-08-17T09:42:40Z 2005/02/18 2017 Dissertation Kruger, RM 2017, Towards a methodology to conduct comparative inter-organisational usability evaluations, MIT Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/66209> A2018 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/66209 en © 2018 University of Pretoria.
