Information Systems Planning Autonomy in U.S.-Based Subsidiaries of Foreign Firms

摘要

Globally competing firms are increasingly dependent on information systems (IS) for managing andmonitoring their international businesses. To utilize IS effectively, the need for IS planning is critical. Thisresearch-in-progress examines IS planning autonomy in U.S.-based subsidiaries of foreign (based outside theU.S.) firms and organizational variables that might influence this autonomy. It aims to determine if ISplanning autonomy is a predictor of effective IS planning for these firms.
