Strategic Information Systems and Business Outcomes
Pages 15 - 25
Abstract
This large-scale study of 1,990 responses from practitioners in a wide range of industries developed and tested a model of relationships among a specific type of strategic information system --strategic performance measurement systems SPMS --characteristics and business outcomes. Using as methodology path analysis and stepwise regression, we found that two SPMS characteristics design purpose and information technology use, together with system effectiveness, explain close to 50% of the SPMS impact on business results.
