Riassunto

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 68 von 70 (ca. 1,3), University of East London, course: Informatik - Wirtschaftsinformatik, BWL, ITIL, language: English, abstract: To ensure the quality of the IT environment for the future the majority of IT managers followed a strategy to introduce an IT change and release management application in the past few years.

Publications of Kotter are used to illustrate that the described success factors lead to successful HR change implementation. The ITIL® reference model defines critical success factors for a successful IT change and release management implementation and are used for a research for the effectiveness of this model. The ITIL® reference model and process issues publications of the official ITIL® source and literature of Laudon & Laudon are used for the present thesis. In addition other researchers in this field are important mentioned as well. Subsequent to that, the findings were integrated into the questionnaire and the interviews and used as well get an initial assessment. The mixture of the qualitative and quantitative approaches uses the strengths of both methods. The given answers strongly depend on the respondent's point of view. It becomes clear that a successful implementation of an IT change and release management application comes not only from the implementation of the HR change management issues but also
