Information systems managers are continually faced with selecting from lists of proposed IS projects whose total costs typically exceed available resources. While numerous selection tools exist for projects which have clear economic value, most IS projects have recognized value but are not directly measurable with economic criteria (return on investment, etc.). Decision processes are often subjective and may be biased by powerful individuals or corporate cultures. This paper describes a user-friendly tool, PC-based goal programming, which develops resource allocation recommendations based upon the merit of a given project relative to all other proposed projects.
