Application of fuzzy cognitive map in simulating strategic information system planning process / Ahmad Fahmi Abu Hassan

In this day and age, more researches have been conducted in the domain of Strategic Information System Planning (SISP). However, this is just the continuation from the 1980's where various articles began to probe the underlying causes for the relationship between Information Technology (IT)...
