What are the challenges posed by strategic information systems, and how should they be addressed?

Implementing strategic system requires extensive organizational change coupled with a period of changing from one stage of socio-technical level to another. This changes are known as strategic transitions and are not easily achieved.

It must be noted that not all strategic systems are rewarding and can be very expensive to put together. It is easier to copy most information systems from other firms because strategic advantage can be most times unsustainable.
