Research Report—Adaptation of a Planning System Success Model to Information Systems Planning

Informacinėms sistemoms (toliau – IS) išplitus ir įsitvirtinus organizacijų veikloje, nemažai dėmesio skirta jų plėtrai ir tobulėjančioms technologijoms, tačiau santykinai mažesnio dėmesio sulaukė jų sukuriama vertė ir jos didinimo keliai. Vienas iš kritinių IS sėkmės veiksnių yra IS ir verslo suderinamumas, kurio tyrimų svarbą jau gerą dešimtmetį pabrėžia daugelis mokslininkų. Šiuolaikinės organizacijos taip pat supranta, kad būtina užtikrinti naudojamų IS ir verslo strategijos, tikslų bei procesų suderinamumą, tačiau nėra apibrėžtų metodų šiam suderinamumui užtikrinti.Šio darbo tikslas – pateikti teorinio modelio, kuris leistų geriau užtikrinti IS ir verslo suderinamumą, pagrindines nuostatas. Darbe nustatomos verslo ir IS suderinamumą sukeliančios problemos, siūlomas suderinamumo užtikrinimo modelis, kurį sudaro suderinamumo užtikrinimo bei sėkmės vertinimo metodai.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: IS strateginis planavimas, IS ir verslo suderinamumasInformation systems and business alignment modelGediminas Rumšas, Rimvydas Skyrius SummaryThe paper analyses information systems and business alignment as a critical factor for information system success. After performing an analysis of current alignment issues it is stated that main such issues in various stages of information systems planning could be handled by thorough systematical approach. An alignment model consisting of recommendations in Planning, Implementation, Evaluation and Improvement phases is proposed and implemented during a project in Lithuanian organization. Alignment model implementation during strategic planning sessions led to following results: 1) identification of main organizational IT priorities; 2) evaluation of current software solutions and their importance to business; 3) data-based support for strategic IT decision making.

Information Systems Planning

Many hospitals in Taiwan have started to encounter new and fierce competition as a result of the enactment of the National Health Insurance Policy in 1995. Hospitals should strive to use information technology (IT) strategically to improve their competitive advantage and meet the dynamic challenges in this competitive environment. This study adopts the Technology-Organization-Environment framework to understand the effects of contextual factors (e.g., environmental uncertainty and information intensity) and information service competence on the effectiveness of strategic information systems planning (SISP) to improve hospital management efficiency. A field survey was conducted using questionnaires distributed to accredited hospitals that serve patients from different regions/districts and with academic teaching qualifications/capabilities. These hospitals represent approximately a quarter of all hospitals in Taiwan. The findings show that the environmental unpredictability and business competence of IS executives are negatively related to the two SISP constructs: IT participation in the hospital planning and alignment of the IT plan with the comprehensive hospital plan. In addition, the findings demonstrate that information intensity has a significantly positive relation to both aforementioned SISP constructs. Finally, both constructs justify the significant positive correlations with the use of IT in increasing competitive advantages and improving the satisfaction of customers and end users. This research intends to guide the healthcare industry in raising competitive advantages to improve the operational efficiency of hospital management in today's highly digitalized environment.
