Unquestionably, information systems (IS), along with
its supporting information technology (IT), continue to increase in importance
in nearly all organizations. As organizations scramble to develop
and apply IT in new ways, the need to identify and implement an IS
strategic plan becomes increasingly critical.
To date, however, implementations of IS strategies have not had high
success rates. Though this has been true for years, much continues to be
published on how to develop an IS strategy. Comparatively
little research focuses on implementation. It is the purpose of
this mini-track to focus on ways in which organizations effectively
implement IS strategies in their organizations.
Specifically, what factors and issues are involved in successful strategy
implementation? Can truly useful frameworks and models be developed to
assist organizations in implementing their IS strategy? Or, is
implementation primarily unique to the people and functions within an
organization? The answers to these questions cannot be assumed and
often allude even the most knowledgeable of "experts."
Exploring these issues are at the heart of the IS Strategy mini-track.
