Abstract

As the pace of competition is intensifying the use of strategic information systems (SIS) as competition weapons is increasing day by day. Today, business operations and information systems (IS) are so tightly integrated with each other that it would almost be impossible to improve business processes unless corresponding IS support the change. To support any change in the organisation information should be properly planned, developed, implemented and maintained in any organisation. The designing of IS is an important phase because if IS are not properly designed it may lead to the organisation failure. The purpose of this paper is to find out about the use of different system design approaches in Indian public sector undertakings generally and to illustrate the use of various approaches in relation to management levels and various departments particularly.
