Although planning is a crucial information management issue, it must be seen as only one facet of an organization's complete program for information technology management. Attention in this article is first directed toward understanding the larger management context within which planning activities are likely to transpire. The paper then describes a view of planning appropriate for the 1990's and identifies contributions from the information technology (IT) planning literature likely to facilitate IT planning efforts.
