KEY INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN ESTONIA FOR THE 2000S AND ACOMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Princely Ifinedo, University of Jyväskylä, Finland
This study reports key information system (IS) management issues in Estonia, for a second time since 1993. The primary objective was to compare and contrast the findings in a previous study with the present effort. Secondary objectives included investigating views across professional classifications and sectors. A comparison between Estonia (an emerging economy) and Norway (a developed country) was made. Findings indicate: 1) the past decade has produced salient changes in the ranking of IS issues for Estonia, 2) there are significant differences across professional groupings (IT and non-IT), 3) a convergence of opinions regarding key IS issues seems to be noticeable in Estonian public and private sectors, and 4) there is a significant difference in the ranking of comparable issues between Estonia and Norway.
