Book excerpt: Analytical Planning: The Organization of Systems deals with systems and planning and suggests a methodological tool for integrating the two. This book presents the basic ideas behind complexity, systems, hierarchies, and prioritization and describes planning as a unique form of decision making with illustrations of some prominent philosophical and methodological approaches. It highlights some shortcomings of traditional approaches to planning and shows how these can be addressed by the systems approach. This monograph consists of seven chapters and opens with a discussion on the nature of complexity and describes an approach that facilitates the use of creativity and experience to structure complex problems. The next chapter explains the rationale for systems thinking and how reductionism works. The Analytic Hierarchy Process is then considered, along with its relationship to some of the properties of systems. The remaining chapters focus on ways of thinking about planning and philosophies of planning; strategic planning; and the applicability of the Analytic Hierarchy Process to benefit-cost analysis and resource allocation. This book is intended for managers, decision makers, and planners, as well as researchers and practitioners in applied mathematics and computer science.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focused on the strategic (or long range) planning approach of system program office (SPO) personnel at Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD), Air Force Systems Command (AFSC). The research indicated that separate, distinguishable groups solely responsible for strategic planning were the exception and not the rule. The understanding of where strategic planning was accomplished for the programs varied from person to person. Specified portions of the planning process were investigated. A formal approach was followed for the economic analysis, the definition of objectives and the allocation of funds. An informal approach was followed for the requirements analysis, political analysis, threat analysis, organizational analysis, consideration of objectives prior to plan development, allocation of manpower, organizational structure, alternative courses of action, testing of planning assumptions, and testing of plans. Additionally, the research indicated that few of the plans required by regulations received wide application. More efficient resource allocation and better quality decision-making were the most common benefits of planning. The top ranked difficulties associated with strategic planning were insufficient time, unpredictable political environment, inadequately defined objective and inexperienced managers. The research data indicated that strategic planning has been useful to the program office.

Book excerpt: Edited by one of the best-known and most widely respected figures in the field, "Planning for Information Systems" is a comprehensive, single source overview of the myriad ideas and processes that are identified with IS planning. While many chapters deal with high level strategic planning, the book gives equal attention to on-the-ground planning issues.Part I, 'Key Concepts of IS Planning', focuses on how IS planning has evolved over the years; business-IS strategic alignment; and the role of dynamic organizational capabilities in leveraging IS competencies. Part II, 'The Organizational IS Planning Process,' describes IS planning in terms of critical success factors and includes a knowledge-based view of IS planning; a practical assessment of strategic alignment; the IT budgeting process; the search for an optimal level of IS strategic planning; and the role of organizational learning in IS planning.Part III, 'IS Investment Planning', deals with predicting the value that an IS project may have; a 'rational expectations' approach to assessing project payoffs; assessing the social costs and benefits of projects; an options-based approach to managing project risks; planning for project teams; and the moderating effects of coordinated planning. Part IV, 'Goals and Outcomes of IS Planning', considers information strategy as a goal and/or outcome of IS planning; IT infrastructure as a goal or outcome; competitive advantage as a goal or outcome; e-process partnership chains; and planning successful Internet-based projects.
