Nucleus of the Strategic Planning of an Integrated University Information System

Nucleus of the strategic planning of the integrated information system (SP-IIS) is determined by implication of mutual impacts of its four principal elements: information strategy, info management strategy, info technology strategy and change management strategy, based on which the subject of research is described in the paper, viewed from the aspect of social dimension alignment of the academic (elected) and administrative (permanent) university management with the aim of drafting a simulation model of strategic planning of the integrated university information system (SP-IIS- Uni). An analysis of the research results provided evidence indicating that, with respect to the strategic planning of an integrated business information system (SP-IBIS-Uni), university top management expresses the greatest interest in the planning of alignment between the business information system (BIS) and the academic information system (AIS). They believe the impact of using ICT is crucial for their future work and operation of the university, but also necessary for more efficient integration with university institutions in EU countries. In the context of investigating this domain, the nucleus of the strategic planning of an integrated university information system is viewed as an implication of mutual impacts of information strategy, info management strategy, info technology strategy and change management strategy, but also the social implications by which the SP-IIS-Uni nucleus strategy affects the information & organizational environment of the university. Elaborated premises, hypotheses set and a comparative analysis of results from similar research resulted in a conclusion on an inseparable synergic impact of nucleus particles on the strategic planning of integrated university information system development.
