解説
問 26
Incorrectア
Shortening the development period is a refinement made at the stage of carrying out an individual information systems development project; it is not an item that must be considered when formulating the strategy. It departs from the essence of an information systems strategy, which sets the company-wide direction.
- イ
正解 An information systems strategy defines how to make use of information systems in order to achieve the goals set out in the company’s business strategy. It is therefore positioned below the business strategy, and ensuring alignment with the business strategy is a necessary premise. Optimizing only the systems in isolation from the business strategy would result in an investment that does not contribute to the business goals. Therefore イ, which chooses “ensure alignment with the business strategy,” is correct.
Incorrectウ
Cost reduction is merely a viewpoint considered at the stages of investment decisions and operation; it is not the top-level item that must be considered when formulating the strategy. Only once alignment with the business strategy is achieved can the appropriateness of costs be evaluated.
Incorrectエ
If introducing the latest technology becomes an end in itself, it risks becoming an investment that does not contribute to the business strategy. Technology adoption should be chosen as a means only after confirming alignment with the business strategy, so it cannot be said to be an item that must be considered.
ここがポイント
- The information systems strategy is a subordinate strategy for realizing the business strategy, so alignment with the business strategy must be ensured when it is formulated.
- Development period, cost, and the latest technology are means or individual measures — merely lower-level considerations than the direction-setting of the strategy itself.
