“…It should be pointed out that the single unifying predictor of success or failure of an AgriDSS, which has been put forth by multiple authors, is the extent to which the end users are involved in the ICT system development process. The necessity of a user-centered design (UCD) approach has been stressed by, e.g., EIP-Agri Focus group report (2015), Cerf et al (2012), Mȃruşter et al (2008a, b), Matthews et al (2008), Thorburn et al (2011), andVan Meensel et al (2012). User-centered design is an approach within the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), aiming to develop and adapt the ICT system based on the users' needs as well as the context of use, rather than forcing the users to change their behavior to accommodate to the ICT system from a top-down perspective (e.g., Benyon 2014;Dix et al 2004;Hartson and Pyla 2012;Preece et al 2002;Rogers et al 2011).…”
