What should be the nature of the relationship between the business plan and the IS plan?
in organizations, each of them has a plan specifically business plans, and others also have information system plan or the IS plan. Each plan plays a vital role for the organization to be competitive. in our assgnment2 in MIS2 we are tasked to distinguish the relationship of the two plans which is the business and IS plan. before that i would like to give the meaning of each of the plan.

In planning we should make a goal so that we can identify if our plan was successfully done. The plans were not only for the profitable organizations, but also for the non profitable organizations

Business plan (decision making tool)
Business plans are decision-making tools. There is no fixed content for a business plan. Rather the content and format of the business plan is determined by the goals and audience. A business plan should contain whatever information is needed to decide whether or not to pursue a goal. . as what ive said the business plans are not only for profitable organization but also for non-profitable organizations. The profitable organization focuses on the how to attain income or the process of creation of wealth. The non-profitable organization like government agency, has also a plan that focuses on organizations mission, to the tax exemption of their services. Business plans may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer, client, tax-payer, or larger community. A business plan having changes in perception and branding as its primary goals is called a marketing plan.


Factors that need to be considered in making a business plan. First is the vision statement or stating what you want to achieve upon planning. Next is the people, do you have enough people or do you have people that are good enough that will play an important rule in implementing this plan. And of course the last is you should undergo an assessment, for you to know if the business plan you were implementing is effective to attain your visions.


Information System Plan (ISP)
An IS plan is a plan that focuses on the system that is used by an organization. That is either profitable or non-profitable organizations. IS plan are for systems that are currently implemented in an organization, these systems are either manual or automation. This plan was design so that the systems they were implementing are become more effective in the extent that it will help the organization to achieve or to attain their vision and goals.

Factors that need to be consider in making information system plan is that it should be flexible and continuously improving the performance of an organization. It should fit to the needs of the needs and requirements of the organization.

Own view…

These plans are somewhat similar because it envisions the company to more competitive in the industry. They were related because they really want nothing but for the good of the organization.
