Abstract: | The need for improved implementation of IS/IT strategy has been emphasized in both empirical and prescriptive research studies, and responsibility has been identified as an important predictor of implementation. This research collected strategic IS/IT plan documents in Norway. Based on content analysis of the documents, descriptions of responsibility for implementation were found in 50% of the plans. In plans with such descriptions, responsibility was primarily concerned with systems ownership as a result of large projects. Out of 55 descriptions of responsibility, 32 were concerned with users, 13 with managers, and 10 with developers. |
