Synopsis

Although information systems are vital to the running of modern businesses, there are still major problems in obtaining the systems that the business really needs and in doing this in a cost-effective way. The authors have drawn on their experience with a wide range of organizations, including banks, insurance companies, utilities, airlines and oil companies, to show that company information systems all have similar problems. These include a lack of systematic procedures for planning, differences between computer department plans and the strategic plans of the company, organizational problems within information systems departments and communication problems at all levels. All these problems are tackled in this book and the authors present the basic fundamentals of information systems strategic planning which should enable managers to design appropriate solutions.
