Towards an Alternative Approach to IT Planning in Non-Western Environments

Journal of Global Information Technology Management, 2003, vol. 6, issue 1, 1-7

Abstract: IT planning literature is permeated with a functional paradigm wherein planning is the sole responsibility of thinkers and doers are limited to implementation issues. This is deemed unsuitable in the knowledge intensive environment that most organizations are facing. Moreover planning models are based on western management theories and do not reflect accurately the reality of non-western management contexts. Based on the above two shortcomings, we lay the ground for an alternative approach to IT planning.
