ABSTRACT
It has been suggested (Earl, 1989) that the first two areas are concerned with information systems strategy, the third with information management strategy, and the fourth with information technology strategy. In survey-based research to date, it is usually the first two areas that dominate. Indeed, SISP has been defined in this light (Lederer and Sethi, 1988) as ‘the process of deciding the objectives for organizational computing and identifying potential computer applications which the organization should implement’ (p. 445). This definition was used in our investigation of SISP activity in 27 United Kingdom-based companies.
