The role of the Internet as an enabling technology is critical to the strategic planning of national and local governments, educational institutions, hospitals, manufacturing as well as non-manufacturing companies, and increasingly, for small organizations as much as for larger ones. Like other technologies, the path to effective assimilation of Internet-based technologies has not been free of problems and challenges. This paper presents the results of a Delphi study to identify and rank critical issues for effective deployment of Internet-based technologies in organizations. The critical issues identified in this study provide valuable insights for formulating strategies for the overall utilization and management of Web-enabled technologies in organizations.
