Abstract

Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is the process of deciding the objectives for organizational computing and identifying the potential computer applications which the organization should implement. Information Management Education (IME) has become increasingly necessary for executive education, as a result of the competitive effects of Information Systems (IS). Managers also need to set the strategic guidelines for IS planning, and effective planning can be supported by management education. The problem is how to determine a suitable way to teach the knowledge and skills needed in Information Management. Managers are a very difficult group to teach, due to their other responsibilities and their lack of time. This paper explores some potential approaches for IME, and presents Action Learning (AL) as one way to introduce managers to the strategic use of IT. The experiences and the tentative findings from the use of the AL approach in one case study company are discussed at the end of the paper.
