Abstract

Information systems/information technology (IS/IT) investment evaluation has emerged as an important issue for managers in organizations around the world. The results show relatively high usage of IS/IT investment evaluation methodologies, and yet, these methodology were generally not used widely and effectively within the responding organizations.
