Linkage between effective implementation of IS Strategyand IS performance: Lessons from Indian organizations

摘要

The overall outcome of IS planning efforts is determined by how effectively the planned strategies are implemented in orderto realize the envisaged strategic benefits. This empirical work on IS plan implementation relates the effectiveimplementation of IS plan with IS performance in the Indian context. Based on three case studies from diverse industrysegments, we discuss the five important parameters of IS plan implementation- top management commitment,implementation responsibility, IS plan characteristics, user involvement, role of IS function that determine theimplementation effectiveness and eventually the IS performance. Based on the analysis, we present a set of key learnings fordeveloping countries, along with implications for future research.
