Abstract

In the current changing environment, businesses have to be competitive and to make effective decisions to achieve their aims. Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) and Decision Support System (DSS) contribute to this effort. The purpose of this paper is to propose a model which combines both the SISP and DSS under the concept of change management to enable the firm, to acquire and store significant information for its strategic decisions more effectively. The paper contributes to the DSS literature by suggesting a model that is believed to support the empirical research of SISP in DSS field. It expands the scope of SISP on DSS field, stating the need for more research to be conducted regarding the DSS in SISP through strategic management. By identifying phases that affect the strategic decision-making, a number of implications are accrued.
