   • 3.1 Principle of Economic Efficiency
   • 3.2 First Level of Specification: Design Criteria

5. Chapter 4: Applicability of Environmental Scanning Systems: A Systematic List Approach to Requirements Criteria

6. 1. Introduction

   • systematic list approach to requirements criteria that specify the applicability of environmental scanning systems

7. 2. Current Gaps in Environmental Scanning System Design

   • While operational analysis focuses on internal difficulties in the implementation of strategic programs, strategic environmental scanning aims at anticipating environmental shifts and analyzing their potential impact

8. 3. Model Development

   • 3.1 Principle of Economic Efficiency
     • Solution capabilities cover how IS output supports environmental scanning for managers. The resource requirements, in turn, cover the input needed to generate the output.
   • 3.2 First Level of Specification: Design Criteria
     • We start specifying solution capabilities for environmental scanning systems with information gathering, interpretation and usage capabilities as their design criteria. In addition, we suggest cross-process factors that contribute to capabilities not subsumed by the previous categories
   • 3.3 Second Level of Specification: Requirements Criteria
     • Information gathering, Information interpretation, Information usage, Cross-process factors Effort

9. 4. Discussion

   • . Compared with approaches based on the researcher’s own experience or random literature, our model should be more systematic and less subjective

10. 5. Outlook and Future Research

    • The objective of this article was to contribute to better IS design by developing a systematic list approach to requirement criteria that specifies the applicability of environmental scanning systems.

11. Comentario: me pareció interesante y una idea bastante acertada la de basado en la eficiencia económica seleccionar los requerimientos para poder producir un mayor impacto en la compañía con las decisiones y estrategas aplicadas.
