Information systems executives at business organizations rated the quality of software products implemented with the object-oriented approach relative to those software realized with the structured and other traditional approaches. The executives also appraised the object-oriented approach in terms of its reusability strategy and the time for software development. This paper details the inferential data analysis of the use of the object-oriented approach in enhancing software productivity.
