Syst., New South Wales Univ.,Kensington, NSW, AustraliaJournal: Journal of Information TechnologyAbstract: The integration of business strategic planning and IT has beenraised as one of the most important issues facing management in the 1990s.At the same time, there have been spectacular failures when businessventures have sought to exploit information technology. So how doesbusiness management go about applying information technology in order tomaximize the possibility of gaining success, while minimizing thepossibility of failure? Most literature concerned with informationtechnology and evaluation focuses on the evaluation of benefits from theuse of a technology. The limited amount of literature which considers the'front end' of the process of selection, as well as implementation ofinformation technology, is more concerned with identifying the businessproblem areas, the actions of competitors or how to set priorities betweenprojects, than looking at the potential utility of a new or emergenttechnology. This paper presents a practical methodology which can be usedby management to evaluate an information technology and to determine itsapparent suitability for their business at this particular time. Itsstrength lies in the capability of IS management and line managers toquickly and cost-effectively identify the major opportunities for theapplication of technology to business problems.Litteraturstudium innen tidligfasevurderinger av prosjekter 85
