The work system method is a recent approach for better analysis of organizational systems problems involving the use of information technology. We present the results from an exploratory field experiment on the impact of the work system framework as a vehicle for improvement of student understanding of a business case involving an information system (IS) implementation problem. We provide a brief overview of the work system method, present the setup of the field experiment and discuss the results after which the paper concludes with directions for further research.
