Abstract
Reports on the rationale used in the selection of a spreadsheet for use in information management and planning operations. Surveys business users and software suppliers to shed light on the criteria adopted in the selection process. Suggests that perceived market leaders and the procurement behaviour of competing organizations have greater influence than a rigorous IT selection strategy.
