Recent research has suggested that strategic IS planning activities are complex and may be more accurately explained through behaviors, agenda, and/or context in contrast to adoption of a particular methodology. Surprisingly, few studies have been undertaken to identify and understand: (1) the design dimensions of planning systems; (2) the success measures of planning systems; and (3) the influence of internal (within system) and external (system and context) coalignment on planning success. Through formal survey of over two hundred and fifty top information systems executives, this dissertation empirically investigates these issues.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Recent research has suggested that strategic IS planning activities are complex and may be more accurately explained through behaviors, agenda, and/or context in contrast to adoption of a particular methodology. Surprisingly, few studies have been undertaken to identify and understand: (1) the design dimensions of planning systems; (2) the success measures of planning systems; and (3) the influence of internal (within system) and external (system and context) coalignment on planning success. Through formal survey of over two hundred and fifty top information systems executives, this dissertation empirically investigates these issues.
520 $a The findings of this research suggest that planning system success is a multi-dimensional concept. Specifically, dimensions of alignment (congruence between IS and corporate strategy), analysis (extent of technological and business understanding), corporation (extent of agreement and cooperation between IS and other departments), and capabilities (improvement in planning capabilities over time) seem to characterize this performance measure. Similarly, the findings suggest that SISP planning systems can be operationalized along multiple dimensions of comprehensiveness (extent of solution search), formalization (rules and procedures to guide activities), focus (creativity or control), flow (top-down, bottom-up), participation (number and variety of planners), and consistency (frequency of planning).
520 $a The intercorrelation or coalignment of planning design dimensions suggests that planning systems which exhibit high levels of comprehensiveness, high levels of formalization, control focus, top-down planning flow, high levels of participation, and high levels of consistency are directly associated with planning system success. This form of coalignment is termed rational adaptation and is very similar to normative planning systems described in both IS and strategic management literature. As expected, the rational adaptive system is positively associated with: environmental uncertainty, "defender" strategic types, centralization, formalization, and technological infusion. Contrary to expectations, no association is found between coalignment and technological diffusion. Overall, these results confirm previous works which suggest that process dimensions are normatively coaligned into a system of planning which is: (1) greater than the sum of its parts, and (2) favorably aligned with organizational context.
