The Effects of Strategic Role of IS and Characteristics of ISP on the Performance of ISP

정보시스템의 전략적 역할과 계획수립 특성이 계획수립 성과에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of strategic roles of IS and characteristics of ISP on the performance of ISP in view of contingency theory. In particular, this study is to find out whether there is a fit between two contingent variables. To evaluate the effects of two independent variables on the dependent variable empirically, a field research method using questionnaires with depth interview was employed. Findings of the field study are as follows: First, the main effect of strategic roles of IS on performance of ISP is found to be significant. This implies that the higher the strategic importance of IS, the better the performance of ISP expected. Second, the effect of characteristics of ISP on the dependent variable is also found to be significant. Organizations which recognize IT as an important competitive weapon for their business, and adopt Technological and Organizational approaches in ISP, have shown to obtain excellent results. Third, the interaction effect of two contingent variables is not found. There is no evidence for a fit between the strategic roles of IS and the characteristics of ISP. This shows that the differences of ISP performance are to be explained by only independent effect of two contingent variables.
