Abstract: Information technology (IT) continues to play a vital role in business organizations. The critical IT issues that are important to organizations, however, are varied, and range from strategic fit to replacement of legacy systems. Our study reviews fourteen commonly expressed IT issues and measures their importance based on the size of an organization. Company size has been determined to be a significant variable affecting what is important to an organization. Our study finds that this company size as measured by sales volume does affect what IT issues are critical to an organization, and that there are statistically significant differences based on the size of an organization.
