Answer:
The approach to long-range AIS planning described in this chapter is important for large organizations with extensive investments in computer facilities. Should small organizations with far fewer information systems employees attempt to implement planning programs? Why or why not? Be prepared to defend your position to the class.
Explanation:
Yes, companies with few IS employees should attempt to implement planning programs. This is particularly true if the company or its computer usage is growing. The extent of the planning should be commensurate with the size of the computer facility, reliance on system information, and the potential value of the company’s system.
Planning produces benefits even if the planning effort is minimal. In the smallest facility, the plan may consist simply of a few pages of thoughts and projects that are prepared and reviewed periodically by the person in charge of the system. It could also consist of a bare bones cost-benefit analysis.
A smaller company will typically have fewer funds than a large company will. Therefore, inadequate planning can be more disastrous and financially draining for small companies.
