| Abstract: | Software acquisition is a critical concern for firms worldwide, and its impact on their business process is expected to grow. U.S. firms spend more than $250 billion annually acquiring software. Software investments can result in substantial productivity gains and strategic advantages, but not all such investments are successful by any means. To realize these benefits, firms must identify and understand the factors that most affect their software acquisition decisions. In this article, the authors develop a general cost-benefit decision framework for the software acquisition problem. |
