Abstract

Organisations are now investing heavily in information systems and information technology. However, there is a general dissatisfaction with the benefits that accrue from this investment. Argues that information systems and technology can be centrally instrumental in achieving corporate goals but only where the organisation has a clearly defined corporate and competitive strategy, and understands the information needs that underpin these strategies. Demonstrates the interrelationships between strategy and information systems.
