*Puts on IPT costume*
As you've correctly stated, the organisational feasibility (one of the four constraints: economic, technical, schedule and organisational) refers to the determinination of wether or not the system will meet the corrent goals/objectives.
The second part of the definition talks about '...and will meet the current goals and objectives,
having enough support to be successfully implemented'
My understanding of
'whether the new system will have enough support from participants' is as follows:
- Can the participants use the system?
- Are they able to operate the new system?
They are the two questions which you should ask yourself. If the answer is
'Yes', then the new system has enough support from the participants.
It is a definition, and in this case, you are questioning the definition. I tend to agree with it and leave it be (I'm not one to ask 'but why?' when 99% of people agree, if you know what I mean).
Basically, a new system will be accepted, it will meet the current aims, objectives and goals of the organisation if it is accepted by the participants (users of the system). If a new system has enough support, then surely it will succeed. This goes back to organisational feasibility, whether the system is able to fit into the organisation, meeting current goals/objectives.
Questions you need to ask yourself:
- What type of organisation does this scenario involve?
- What is it's purpose?
- How does it perform information processes?
- Who are it's users? (People and Participants)
- What is it's aims, goals and objectives?
Secondly,
By looking at the support base (participant support), that's a measure of how successful the new system will be.
More support leads to a successful implementation of the new system, ultimately meeting the criteria/scenario's aims, goals and objectives.
(Tip: I
doubt that they'd ask you about this explicitly in the HSC
)
