This paper presents the results of qualitative research conducted by the author into the factors which affect the Requirements Engineering process. The Requirements Engineering process involves the elicitation, analysis and specification of the requirements for a proposed Information System. The results of the research reveal that the critical aspects of the process includes behavioural and organisational factors. It is proposed that many of these issues should become part of the curriculum of courses on Software Engineering and Analysis and Design.
