situations may fit into more than one category of the presented classi cations

(Avison and Taylor 1997 ).
We have presented, in some detail, some of the ISDMs that are used in the
context of information technology and information systems. The adaptation of an
organization to a new IS should never be unidirectional: the IS should be designed
accordingly with the context, the situation, and the end users. This adaptation is
facilitated by the adoption of one of the presented methodologies in accordance
with the purpose of the IS.
