International Systems Architecture

Global Strategies and Environment

Understanding the global environment involves analyzing the business drivers pushing your industry toward global competition and the inhibitors creating management challenges. Developing a corporate strategy for global competition requires determining how the firm should respond to such competition and developing an organizational structure and division of labor. Key decisions include where production, marketing, and sales will be located.

Developing an International IS Architecture

The major dimensions for developing an international information systems architecture include:

• Global environment
• Corporate global strategies
• Organizational structure
• Management and business processes
• Technology
