Abstract

Tier-I influencers form the baseline for the modeling process. These influencers aim to capture and measure collective orientation of organizational preparedness for IT acquisitions. This approach includes all the management principles (one of the two frontiers of the model, i.e., management science and computing science). Tier-I influencers include stakeholders in operational, tactical, and strategic layers in the organization as important influencers of the acquisition process, and the proposed model captures their contributions. The model considers it important to capture perceived benefits of IT acquisitions, climate in the organization for taking collective decisions in planning and policy driven issues, capabilities in managing IT projects and IT vendors, motivation of users in the organizational hierarchy, user contributions in reflecting organizational deliverables in IT enabled processes, and mapping expected contributors of successful IT acquisitions. In this chapter, quantitative methods are used for measuring and validating collective contributions of all the stakeholders.
