Please write a 2- to 3-page article to answer the above questions. You can start by pondering about what IT is so special that its planning differs from the general strategic planning. You can choose to either discuss comprehensively of many perspectives or focus on two or three main perspectives that strike you the most. Bring your own experiences to support your arguments. If you don’t have any relevant experiences, ask your colleagues or those who handle strategic planning in your organization.
