Journal of Housing Research, 1998, vol. 9, issue 1, 157-178

Abstract: An organization's strategies for managing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a crucial role in the success of the technology within the organization. As with any technological innovation, the key factor in GIS success is how it is applied to solve the organization's business problems. Corporatewide strategies to introduce, implement, and operate the GIS determine how well it serves business needs.This article addresses management and organizational issues associated with GIS technology adoption in complex organizations. I discuss issues related to managing the introduction and use of GIS and alternative strategies for integrating GIS into business operations. The article draws on a variety of experiences to highlight key organizational factors that must be considered when developing a GIS strategy.
