Description: This research effort examines decisionmaking involving technology acquisition in large organizations. Senior      managers manage a considerable amount of resources. Many of these resources are committed by senior      managers to technology and the technology acquisition process. Resource constraints dictate that senior managers      commit resources to technologies that ensure an organization's ability to remain relevant as a manufacturer or      service provider. Senior managers are responsible for the decisions that ensure effective employment of limited      resources. A clearer understanding of the decision making process and the models available to decision makers      will potentially assist other senior managers in making decisions related to technology acquisition.
