Strategic information systems planning (SISP) has gained acceptance both as a
field of study and good business practice. Increasingly, organizations view
SISP as an important management tool that can help them improve their
effectiveness, efficiency and productivity. Notwithstanding its importance,
research on SISP is limited and neglected. More specifically, the literature
review reveals that as a field of study, SISP has received minimal theoretical
and empirical research emphasis. Based on the review of the literature, this
paper highlights some of the major issues and research areas in SISP that need
further investigations.
