Good Decisions and High Business Value – Descriptive and Normative Contributions to IS Decision-Making

  • Digitalization has significantly increased the competitive pressure on organizations. Companies must be able to continuously react on technological innovations as well as to recognize new opportunities of efficiency and competitive advantages. Thus, the ultimate success of surviving the disruptive power of digitalization requires series of correct decisions on IS and fast reactivity towards changes (Meyer et al. 2014; Edwards 1962). A prerequisite of correct IS decision-making is the critical evaluation of both, opportunities and threats with respect to the business value created (Mata et al. 1995, p. 487). For fulfilling this prerequisite, decision-makers have to deal with an enormous decision complexity (Henfridsson and Bygstad 2013). The main objective of this doctoral thesis is to help practical decision-makers to identify situations to provide a suitable tool-kit for assisting in these complex decision situations of IS.
