IS/IT Implementation Analysis
What should the scope of the planning process be, and where should the planning be focused, on the corporate organisation as a whole, or on specific core business processes?
Discuss this statement in the context of the overall strategic effectiveness of an IS implementation.

A.L. Lederer and A.L.Mendelow did a survey on 20 US companies to decide the senior management problems preventing effective development of IS/IT strategic plans. A previous survey showed that top- management commitment was a need to success but that was often hard to obtain.
The following was identified in there research:
• Top management lacked knowledge and awareness of the impact of Information systems and Information Technology, they didn’t understand how the IT/IS was offering strategic advantages. To them computers were known as an operational context.
• Top managers treated information as not important as a business resource as a long term benefit.
• Top management demand to see financial justification for investment.
• Top managers have become action orientated with shirt term focus that helps putting much effort into long term planning.
In similarity to these views, we need to take flexible and evolutional approaches to the IS/IT strategy process. C.H .Sullivan proposed key elements in effective planning approaches that were needed to enable the realistic of the competition that is visible with the Information System/IT. He
