Information requirements determination is the process by which analysts develop an understanding of needs for an information system. Two critical stages in the requirements determination process are requirements elicitation and the modeling of those requirements using conceptual models. The present paper investigates the relationship between the requirements elicited by analysts and the conceptual models they construct based on those requirements. In addition, numerous potential variables that may moderate the relationship are tested. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
