Abstract

The purposes of this dissertation are to identify various factors affecting the outcomes of feasibility analysis and investment decision makings of new IT project plans and empirically analysis the relationships among them. 9 variables which have been drawn from prior studies and industry practices are the amount of the necessary resource such as development budget and time, the expect financial benefits, the degree of alignments between IT projects and the business strategy, the estimated risk, and the investment priority as the dependent variable. Data from 125 IT projects of K bank, the leading commercial bank in Korea, have been collected and Regression Analysis and ANOVA have been performed. As results, 5 out of 8 hypothesis have been accepted partially or totally.

본 연구는 한 기업의 IT자원 및 전략 환경하에서 IT프로젝트의 사전타당성 분석과 투자의사결정 과정에서 작용하는 제반 변수를 파악하고, 변수들 사이의 상관관계와 IT투자의사결정에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 기존 관련 연구와 국내외 산업현장 실태를 분석하여 IT투자의사결정에 관련된 9개 변수를 도출하고, 변수들 사이의 인과관계에 관한 12개 가설을 검증하였다. 그 중 재무적 기대효과와 사업전략과의 부합성, 리스크, 경쟁업체 및 외부의 보급상태, 프로젝트 추진 방식이 투자우선순위에 영향을 미친다고 판명되었으며, 프로젝트 추진방식과 신규여부의 차이에 따라 사전타당성 분석결과에 중요한 영향을 미치는 점을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 대부분 주관적 판단에 의해 이루어지는 IT투자에 관한 영향요인을 통계적 분석을 통해 가시화하여 IT의사결정 모델을 구성 하기위한 새로운 이론적 틀을 제공하였을 뿐 아니라 실무에 있어서도 주요 관리자들에게 IT투자의사결정 시 고려해야할 주요 요인들을 제시하였다.
