Abstract

This paper will consider the processes involved in Information Systems (IS) strategy. A significant outcome of this analysis is to produce a framework which may enable organisations to assess the implications, development and potential changes to their chosen IS applications. A detailed literature review is undertaken where various approaches for IS planning are noted. A model is derived which illustrates the factors required for a sustainable competitive advantage from implementing IS. Further observation is then made for a research paradigm in the field which would support an empirical assessment of the factors proposed. The research is believed to be of benefit to managers engaged in investment decisions for their organisations IS infrastructure.
