Resource Allocation Decisions

Strategy can be defined simply as principles, a broad based formula, applied in order to achieve a purpose. These principles are general guidelines guiding the daily work to reach business goals. Strategy is the pattern of resource allocation decisions made throughout the organization. These encapsulate both desired goals and beliefs about what are acceptable and, most critically, unacceptable means for achieving them. While the business strategy is the broadest pattern of resource allocation decisions, decisions that are more specific are related to information systems and information technology. IS must be seen both in a business and an IT context. IS is in the middle because IS supports the business while using IT. This will be discussed later in this book in terms of IT governance as strategic alignment.

Resource Allocation Decisions

Over the last several decades, strategy researchers have devoted attention to the question of how corporate elites (i.e., corporate executives and directors) affect corporate strategy. The CEO as a person in position shapes the scope of the firm, while the CIO as a person in another position shapes the scope of IT in the firm. Jensen and Zajac (2004) proposed and tested the notion that while differences in individual characteristics of corporate elites may imply different preferences for particular corporate strategies such as diversification and acquisitions, these basic preferences, when situated in different agency contexts (e.g., CIO, CEO) generate very different strategic outcomes. Strategy can simply be defined as principles, a broad based formula, to be applied in order to achieve a purpose. These principles are general guidelines guiding the daily work to reach business goals. Strategy is the pattern of resource allocation decisions made throughout the organization. These encapsulate both desired goals and beliefs about what are acceptable and, most critically, unacceptable means for achieving them. While the business strategy is the broadest pattern of resource allocation decisions, more specific decisions are related to information systems and information technology. How should IS/IT resources be allocated within business organizations? How can business ensure the IS/IT resources will deliver the desired business value? Hann and Weber (1996) see IS/IT strategic planning as a set of activities directed toward achieving the following objectives: 1. Recognizing organizational opportunities and problems where IS/IT might be applied successfully 2. Identifying the resources needed to allow IS/IT to be applied successfully to these opportunities and problems 3. Developing strategies and procedures to allow IS/IT to be applied successfully to these opportunities and problems 4. Establishing a basis for monitoring and bonding IT managers, so their actions are more likely to be congruent with the goals of their superiors 5. Resolving how the gains and losses from unforeseen circumstances will be distributed among senior management and the IT manager 6. Determining the level of decision rights to be delegated to the IT manager. Empirical studies of information systems/information technology planning practices in organizations indicate that wide variations exist. Hann and Weber (1996) found that organizations differ in terms of how much IS/IT planning they do, the planning methodologies they use, the personnel involved in planning, the strength of the linkage between IS/IT plans and corporate plans, the focus of IS/IT plans (e.g., strategic systems vs. resource needs), and the way in which IS/IT plans are implemented. In this chapter, we will review the principles of strategic alignment and discuss in detail the various methods for IT value and organizational maturity analysis.

Resource Allocation Decisions

Productivity reflects not only how efficiently inputs are transformed into outputs, but also how well information is applied to resource allocation decisions. This paper examines how information technology has affected capacity utilization in the trucking industry. Estimates for 1997 indicate that advanced on-board computers (OBCs) have increased capacity utilization among adopting trucks by 13 percent. These increases are higher than for 1992, suggesting lags in the returns to adoption, and are highly skewed across hauls. The 1997 estimates imply that OBCs have enabled 3-percent higher capacity utilization in the industry, which translates to billions of dollars of annual benefits.

Competitions faced by companies are some obstacles in achieving the business objectives to maintain the company's growth and survival. The use of information technology trend requires companies to use it in order to compete with competitors. Strategic planning of information system (IS) and information technology (IT) which refer to business strategy should be customized to the company's business processes. The process of finding a future application portfolio is preceded by the discovery of business strategy, IS/IT strategy managemen and IT strategy. The method used is the strategic planning of information system and information technology of Ward and Peppard. The discovery of business strategy through internal and external analysis of the company is done using tools: PEST, SWOT, Porter's five competitive model, Value chain, and CSF. The analysis of the current information systems helps determine the proposed IS and IT plan. The result achieved is strategic system plan and information technology that are appropriate to the company in achieving its business goals.

Resource Allocation Decisions

We used ethnographic methods in the tradition of Spradley (1979) and constant comparative analysis to explore case manager resource allocation decision making. We interviewed, observed, and shadowed 11 case managers within a children’s home care program in a regional health authority in western Canada as they went about their daily work over a 5-month period. Our findings provide knowledge about the little-understood set of processes at the micro level of resource allocation. Although the case manager considers many factors, reported elsewhere (Fraser, Estabrooks, Allen, & Strang, 2009), they balance and weigh these factors within a relational context. The purpose of this article is to use Jenna’s story as a case example to illustrate how the case manager balances and weighs the factors that influence their resource allocation decisions within this context. Jenna’s story demonstrates the complex and multidimensional processes that are embedded in the relational nature of resource allocation decisions. We discuss home care case manager resource allocation decisions as viewed through the lens of relational ethics.

Effectiveness And Efficiency

PT Hema Indonesia is manufacturing company established in 2001 and has continued to grow. Nowadays the company has supported business processes in various companies, such as the use of information systems. The purpose of this research is to get an overview of the performance of information systems in order to determine the extent of maturity level which is currently running, with a few aspects to consider such as effectiveness and, efficiency. Implementing IT governance, however, is a challenge to organizations. To ensure IT alignment with business goals use standard COBIT. The analytical tool used is the standard procedure COBIT issued by ISACA. In this paper the method to be used is COBIT 4.1. Coverage of Audit IT Domain are Plan Organize (PO), such as PO4, PO5, PO7 and PO8. The conclusion that can be drawn from the research that has been done is IT governance at the company has been done, although still run optimally within each IT process contained in the sub domain average on level repeatable and defined proses.
