摘要：Developing information systems (IS) strategies and choosing the right IS portfolio for an organization
require, among other things, identifying the most appropriate IS projects, determining how
best to organize the IS staff, and arranging for IS procurement. All of these actions involve decision-
making. This paper analyzes IS strategic decision-making in organizations, with the Garbage
Can Model (GCM) of decision-making providing the theoretical framework. Our findings show
that IS strategic decision-making often happens through GCM processes, and while these processes
are hard to control and predict, the decision quality tends to be high at the organizational
level. At the individual level, however, Garbage Can processes tend to return low-quality IS strategic
decisions.
