Abstract

This paper reports on an empirical study which examined the effect of various environmental, organizational and managerial determinants on strategic IS plan implementation success. The paper presents the theoretical underpinnings of the study, together with the study’s hypotheses and results. Data collected from 106 organisations in South Africa revealed that, amongst other factors, the external business and IT environments, as well as the level of CIO influence and the significance of IS within an organisation, are all variables which effect IS plan implementation.
