What affected the composition of the development group?: Ability & experience of individuals

During phase I the managing director of X took a keen interest in the Multinational development but at the start of phase II a finance director, George, was appointed with responsibility for IT (00005, 00006). George was an accountant but was regarded as IT literate (00361) and enthusiastic about IT. In January, he appointed another accountant, Kevin, as IT manager even though he knew little about IT (00355). The project leader of Multinational, Gordan, was assigned a more consultative role working to Kevin. In practice he spent a fair amount of time supporting Kevin (00638, 00913, 00356). Gordan was supposed to be coordinating development work and the Multinational team was being led by Stuart and the Marine team by Manny (00356, 00551, 01071).
