Abstract:
Although studies on the investment effect of information technology (IT) have been proceeding, the requirements for effective IT investment are changing due to changes in the conditions and circumstances of many companies, such as diversified organization types (e.g. types of relationship between IT section and business planning section), and consideration of effectiveness of enterprise groups at the international level etc. In this situation, a methodology for reinforcing the IT investment effectiveness of diversified companies individually (not simply a standardized methodology) might be significant. In order to take up this challenge, the authors propose a framework for effective IT investment from the perspective of business –IT alignment and organization.
