Critical Dimensions of Strategic Information Systems Planning
通过对80家完成战略信息系统规划的企业调查，识别出组织、实施、数据库、硬件和成本五个问题维度，其中组织、实施和数据库最能区分满意与不满意的规划者。
Strategic information systems planning (SISP) is the process whereby an organization establishes a long‐range plan of computer‐based applications in order to achieve its goals. A number of problems can potentially impede information systems planners as they carry out the process. A survey of 80 firms who completed the SISP process revealed that the problems constitute five factors: the organization, implementation, database, hardware, and cost. A discriminant analysis showed that three factors—the organization, implementation, and database—best distinguished satisfied from dissatisfied information systems planners. A research application of the five factors suggested that organizations with more sophisticated business planning endure significantly less severe hardware and implementation problems.
