Strategic Grid Model is a contingency approach that can be used to determine the strategic relevance of IT to the organization. The model was proposed by F. Warren McFarlan and James L. McKenney in 1983, the model takes the impact of the information system on the strategy in the future planning as the horizontal axis, and the current impact of the information system on the corporate strategy as the vertical axis, which is divided into four types: Factory, Support, Strategic, and Turnaround.[1][2]
Overview
Strategic Grid Model has four quadrants built around two straightforward questions:[3]
- How important does management feel the current IT systems are to the company?
- How important does the company think future developments in IT will be for the company, ie the impact of future IT developments on its way of doing business?
