TL;DR
The results empirically substantiate the importance of BP-ISP integration, since higher levels of integration were found to have a significant inverse relationship with the extent of both process and output varieties of ISP problems and a significant positive relationship with each of the five perceptual measures of the amount of IS contributions to overall organization performance.
Abstract
This study reports on a follow-up analysis of a prior study (Teo & King, 1996, Information and Management) of the impact of the integration of information systems planning (ISP) with business planning (BP) on organizational performance. The empirical data are re-analysed using path analysis in order to determine the direct and indirect impacts of BP-ISP integration on intermediate performance measures related to ISP process and output problems, as well as on five perceptual measures of organizational performance. The results empirically substantiate the importance of BP-ISP integration, since higher levels of integration were found to have a significant inverse relationship with the extent of both process and output varieties of ISP problems and a significant positive relationship with each of the five perceptual measures of the extent of IS contributions to overall organization performance.
