Abstract
One information planning decision involves project selection from among a portfolio of options. This involves multiple steps, including selection and weighting of alternatives. Choice and weighting on criteria become crucial in the selection of the projects to pursue. A survey conducted by the authors found that organizations with an expectation of future IS importance rely heavily on organizational goals, management support and environmental factors. Organizations with low strategic expectations of IS rely more heavily on management support, political considerations, and risk. The results allow managers to position selection criteria according to their strategic use of information technology. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
