Information Systems/Technology Evaluation Practices: Evidence from UK Organizations
研究了英国前1000强公司中信息系统/信息技术项目评估的实践,包括正式评估程序的存在程度、利益相关者咨询情况以及评估中遇到的问题。
The evaluation of information systems technology (IS/IT) investments has been a much debated issue in the IS literature. This paper adds to that debate by discussing the IS/IT project evaluation practices of a sample of the top 1000 UK companies. The study sheds light on a number of evaluation issues, including the extent to which formal procedures of evaluation exist within organizations, and the extent to which consultation with stakeholders takes place, in addition to identifying the problems inherent in evaluating IS/IT investments. The implications of the findings are discussed, where possible in the light of previous research, in addition to identifying a number of key issues where further research is needed.
