IT Acquisition Strategy and Risk Analysis in Organizations
The decision to perform an acquisition must be approached precisely as though one were planning f or a military campaign. In a military campaign, the success of the battle depends on the initial planning and input. The better this is done, the greater and more effective will be results, and the strategist will, hopefully, win his battle.
A similar situation exists with the influence of action on the strategic business goals of an organization. Cost overruns, schedule slips, and performance shortfalls can all be seen as potential obstacle that can stand in the way of achieving optimum strategic success. The person performing an acquisition has to start off with a clear idea of IT risks entailed and what he can do to prevent these. He must know his program-specific risks, and formulate a strategy to hence his ability of avoiding these risk in the ever-changing world of his strategic deployment and program environment.
