Abstract EN
Information systems (IS) strategy has been frequently described by senior executives as a critical organizational issue.
Economy trends and technology innovations pressure organizations to rethink their IS strategies.
The literature provides prescriptions of how to form IS strategies that apparently impractical.
Studies that describe IS strategy formation in practice suggest that it is rather a complex process that influence and is influenced by various aspects of its context.
A considerable inconsistency in IS strategy thinking between theory and practice is evident.
The aim in this paper is to make the case for the need for a more pragmatic perspective of IS strategy that better reflects the way in which it actually forms, and leads to a thorough understanding of the complexity of its formation in practice.
