Pengembangan Tata Kelola TI Untuk Menunjang Kegiatan Bisnis Pada Universitas (Studi Kasus Universitas Merdeka Madiun)
. Development of IT Governance to Support Business Activities on University (Case Study: Merdeka Madiun University). Currently, the use of information technology (it) has become one of the supporting organization\u27s success, but if your organization does not have good control of it, it will only burden or new problems in the organization. Therefore, we need good governance to overcome the gap between the description of the recommended system with the necessary description for the actual system implementation. And to measure the extent to which IT alignment with business activities and measure the extent to which maturity level an organization can be done by using the COBIT framework. Therefore we need a IT unit for Merdeka Madiun University, and always to check the degree of IT alignment with business activities to add value for more competitive organization. Â
Strategic Information Systems Planning Of Public Sector In Economic Crisis: An Integrated Framework
The purpose of the study is to establish a framework for the impact of strategic planning on the public sector's information systems during the economic crisis. The survey has been designed for the literature review of the strategic planning of information systems and the enrichment through the review of the effect on this economic crisis. The research methodology extends to the literature review of strategic planning of information systems and the creation of a framework for its implementation in an economic crisis. We approach the general concepts of Strategic Management and Policy Analysis and also the more specific ones of Strategic Planning of Information Systems. We note the relationship between strategy and crisis and the relationship between efficiency and strategic management in the economic crisis. Based on the results of the survey for the strategic planning of public sector information systems, we enrich the study with more specific crisis management and we create a new study framework. Useful conclusions for the integrated management of public sector information systems in crisis arise. The study is limited by the introduction of the economic crisis and cannot be generalised as such in a period of normal operation of the organisations. This original research leaves room for further study cases in the future and completion of the strategic planning studies of public sector IT systems during the economic crisis
Strategic information system planning in healthcare organizations
Copyright © 2015, IGI Global. The healthcare industry is a critical and growing part of economies worldwide. To provide better quality of care, and value for money, billions of dollars are being spent on bettering information systems in healthcare organizations. Strategic Information System Planning (SISP) is instrumental in making informed decisions to achieve the health organizations' goals and objectives. This paper undertakes a systematic review to gain insight into existing studies on SISP in healthcare organizations. Our systematic review of papers on SISP from 1985 to 2011 examines the background and trend of research into SISP in the healthcare industry, classification of topics in SISP, as well as sets of tools and guidelines to aid practitioners and the research community alike
Three Decades of Research on Strategic Information System Plan Development
Strategic information system planning (SISP), including aligning business and IS/IT strategies, has been the conventional wisdom known for decades to academics and practitioners. Since the 1980s, many tools and models have been developed to facilitate strategic information system planning and implementation. These are development processes that define a set of steps for SISP or approaches that facilitate part of the SISP process. This article employs a systematic review approach and starts with a search of 2730 papers in nine top-ranked scientific databases. After an in-depth study of these papers, a final set of 85 studies is retrieved that focus directly on SISP development. We use this final set of papers to compare the steps proposed in different processes and the relevant approaches for each step. Additionally, an in-depth analysis of development processes has produced a generic seven-phase framework covering activities introduced in the literature. These seven phases are: initiation, business analysis, IS/IT analysis, strategy formulation, portfolio planning, implementation, and evaluation. The paper also classifies approaches that facilitate SISP and concludes with recommendations for practitioners and researchers
A case analysis of information technology management in a public university
Using a case study approach, this study investigates the issues of IT management in
a public university in Malaysia, called The University.Findings indicate that The University lacks of common approach to decision-making or forum for making comprehensive assessments of IT plan and funding strategy.Campus information system was developed in an uncoordinated manner,
reflecting interests of different departmental units, and decision support system is almost non-existence. A new IT planning structure with clear roles and responsibilities is proposed to overcome existing barriers to effective campus information system
Developing The Framework Of Information And Communication Technology Strategic Planning For State Islamic Universities In Indonesia
Many previous studies have shown that the Information and Communication Technology Strategic Planning (ICTSP) process is often failing in the Information Communication and Technology (ICT) implementation. The existing ICTSP frameworks are not universal. The purpose this study is to develop the ICTSP frameworks that in line with the concept of Islamic values, system, culture, mindset, bureaucracy, and politics prevailing in the Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia (IHE’s ICTSP framework). In this developmental study, both qualitative and quantitative methods were followed. The data collection techniques included Focus Group Discussion and Survey. Besides the qualitative analysis methods, the researcher used descriptive and inferential statistics with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test method. The IHE’s ICTSP framework was developed in five stages, namely: developing initiatives, determining the direction of ICT implementation, assessing and analyzing the organizational environment, formulating strategies, and designing ICT implementation. Statistically, analysis results are showed that the effectiveness of ICTSP process stages is no difference; the second, the completeness of ICTSP process stages and activities component is a difference; the third, the compatibility of the ICTSP process with an institution background is a difference; and the fourth, the term and meaning of ICTSP process is a difference too
Assessing the Alignment of Information Security with Strategic Business, and Strategic Information System Planning: A Department of Defense Perspective
This research extends the Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP) and Strategic Business Plan (SBP) alignment model construct by adding the Information Security Plan (ISP) as an additional component considered essential to the success of network centric organizations. Six hypotheses were considered to measure the two-way alignment among three components of the proposed model. The research was adapted for a public sector organization and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test. A vertical, cross-sectional sample from the United States Marine Corps, a Department of Defense organization, was surveyed (n = 149). Results indicate a strong two-way alignment exists between SISP - SBP (p = .232 and .910), between SISP - ISP (p = .445 and .467), and between SBP - ISP (p = .205 and .490). The research instrument developed in this work enables the evaluation of public and private sector organizations determine the strength of their strategic alignment in terms of security, information technology, and business objectives
A Glorious and Not-So-Short History of the Information Systems Field
In this paper, the more than 40-year history of the information systems discipline is discussed by dividing history into four somewhat overlapping eras. For each era, important events that occurred are highlighted. The events are categorized as “management/governance of the IS function”, “technology”, “research themes”, “research methodology”, “education”, and “infrastructure” (organizations, conferences, journals, etc.). The paper then speculates on what the value would be if the IS community were to adopt a shared history. The paper contends that such a shared history would be effective in helping to bridge the communication gaps that exist between the different sub-communities that make up the discipline

Evaluating the adoption of strategic information systems planning (SISP) in global organisations
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.In a comprehensive review of literature on the strategic adoption of information systems (IS), various approaches to strategic IS adoption were unable to verify and coordinate different factors for IS investment as a strategic business unit. An assessment of different models in this area through the review of empirical case studies was required to identify the factors that affect IS strategic adoption, because these factors support the evaluation and adoption of both the process and result of IS strategic adoption. Thus, a study to investigate and evaluate the adoption of strategic information systems planning (SISP) within organisations is required in order to identify the factors that affect this type of adoption. The research in this thesis takes into account the adoption process and the factors for the adoption of SISP. There is also a need to understand and evaluate different IS planning techniques within a framework that can support decision-makers through the entire IS strategic adoption process. This framework is a component of the proposed novel model that considers other crucial factors that influence IS strategic evaluation and adoption. Decision-makers may employ such a model and evaluation framework that considers important SISP criteria, such as (a) SISP benefits, (b) SISP requirements and, (c) SISP drivers, as an important reference tool.
After presenting the conceptual components of this research, the empirical side expresses the application of a qualitative research approach through a case study strategy to investigate the proposed model of SISP adoption. As a result, two global organisations were investigated, reported, and analysed. Additional factors for the adoption of SISP emerged from these analyses. The proposed conceptual model was modified to present 11 factors that influence the adoption of SISP, including (a) planning team; (b) benefits; (c) requirements; (d) drivers; (e) costs; (f) IS performance measurement; (g) framework for the evaluation of SISP techniques; (h) SISP methods; (i) SISP tools; (j) support; and (k) IS strategy.
The primary contribution of this thesis is a comprehensive novel model for the evaluation and adoption of SISP. The model includes two levels of original contribution. Firstly, it accounts for previous studies in SISP and their factors, which supports the conceptual level of this contribution. The researcher incorporated and extended these studies to merge the factors which were recognised in the normative literature. In addition, factors from empirical work have also been combined in the proposed model, thus developing a consistent paradigm for the evaluation and adoption of SISP. Secondly, the concept and process of the proposed model can be applied as an educational guide throughout the IS strategic evaluation and adoption process. Nevertheless, this model contains a proposed framework for the evaluation of IS strategic planning techniques as factors that influence the adoption of SISP. This framework is novel, since it is a part of the proposed model as well as a classification of IS planning techniques, and supports decision-makers’ understanding and evaluation of planning techniques during the adoption of SISP
