This study reviews Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) literature with a focus on the global dimension. The research evaluates SISP techniques against Information System (IS) strategic requirements. These techniques can be vital contributors in the IS Strategy (ISS) design process. Therefore, classification of the techniques of ISS planning is developed. Keeping in mind the global dimension, the planning team needs to identify how it can cluster the ISS requirements of an organisation. This may be achieved by analysing the benefits that can be obtained by IS for the organisation. The result of this research is the taxonomy of SISP techniques with a case study for X airlines. This classification can benefit the evaluation of ISS planning processes to support decision makers through the planning process.

Strategic planning of information systems is vital in the business environment and this is still an open issue in the management information systems research. Through planning, organisations develop effective long-term use of information systems and subsequently ensuring the support of organisational objectives. This chapter develops a contingency model for measuring the success of strategic information systems planning in the context of medium enterprises. The contingency theory, as an analytical lens, advocates that organisational success can be achieved by matching organisational characteristics to the contextual factors. Drawing from this notion, this chapter postulates that the strategic information systems planning process, as a phase, may lead to successful planning. This relationship is moderated by contingency variables characterised by the presence of environmental uncertainty, organisational structure, government and policies, business strategy orientation and information systems maturity. This chapter studies the moderating role of contingency variables and identifies the influential factors and their effect.

Strategic planning for information systems remains as one of the top concerns and continues to be a critical issue for many chief information officers and their organisations. Also, a comprehensive review of the recent information systems planning literature reveals that selecting a proper methodology used in developing an information systems plan is one of the success factors related to the success of the IS planning process. Although this individual success factor should have attracted more research and discussions, there have not been enough attempts to create a framework to compare and classify strategic information systems planning methodologies to select a proper method for a specific organisation with its unique requirements, hence a gap in literature. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is primarily to bridge this gap by proposing a conceptual framework to classify strategic information systems planning methodologies to choose the suitable methodology(ies) according to specific requirements of an organisation.
