“Improving information systems strategic planning” remains among one of top ten issues facing IS/IT executives and corporate general managers. As e-business strategies have received growing attention from enterprises, information systems strategic planning (ISSP) is now considered critical in developing a successful e-strategy. However, numerous researchers have examined the relationship between various factors and the effectiveness of information systems strategic planning, the effects of knowledge sharing behavior on the effectiveness of information systems strategic planning still have little been examined. The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between knowledge sharing and the effectiveness of information systems strategic planning. Furthermore, we explore the factors influencing knowledge sharing behavior among stakeholders in the ISSP process.
