An exploratory study investigating the perception that ICT capital projects are different: Evidence from the Czech Republic

Original language description

The empirical findings support the literature in that information and communication technology (ICT) projects are, in many respects, different from non-ICT projects. However, the evidence indicates that, in practice, there is no significant difference inthe financial and risk assessment models used in their appraisal. This indicates that any perceived difficulties, which may infer that the projects are ?different?, are overcome (or ignored), to some extent, when it comes to the formal financial and risk assessment stage of project appraisal. There is also evidence to suggest that practitioners use assessment models that academics regard as unsophisticated. The findings also show that strategic issues are more important with respect of ICT projects than non-ICT projects. The research therefore supports the view that ICT projects are perceived to be different, but that the current conventional (financial and risk) appraisal models are adequate to appraise such capital projects, provided
