Title: An Empirical
Assessment of Information System Planning Practices Across Large-Sized
Business Networks In India
Abstract: Information Systems
for a Business Network are strategic assets as they enable new business
models.It is important to carefully plan for and architect these
information systems, understanding that the nature of these systems is
quite different from planning at organizational level. Limited research
has been done in the area of information systems planning for business
networks. Existing IS planning models were developed prior to the
advent of the Internet. Therefore, a study to understand the possible
IS Planning practices and bring out important criteria’s in IS planning
for large business networks would be very timely and helpful. This
research could be of immense use to companies that are planning or are
already on the migration path towards a network Enterprise.
