Abstract
[Resumo]: Este trabalho incide sobre algumas reflexões acerca da avaliação de investimentos na área das tecnologias de informação, nomeadamente em sistemas de informação empresariais. Estes projectos são relevantes por três razões: i) são imprescindíveis para as organizações e para as sociedades; ii) representam cerca de um quarto do presente investimento público e privado anual e iii) a performance das actuais sistemas de avaliação não é fiável dada a evolução financeira do e-comércio e a própria natureza dos investimentos. O sistema de avaliação deixou de ser uma rotina financeira simples evoluindo para abordagens mais complexas, a maioria das quais inclui critérios múltiplos e técnicas de grupo. As nossas reflexões representam uma tentativa de resumir os últimos avanços nesta área e identificar problemas em aberto que deveriam servir de referência para a investigação futura.
[Abstract]: This work depictssome reflections about the evaluation ofinvestments in Information technologies, namely corporate Information systems. These projects are noteworthy because of three reasons: i) they are criticai for organizations and societies, ii) they stand for about a fourth of current public and private annual investment, and iii) the performance of current evaluation schemes is doubtful, given the financial evolution of the e-businesses and the very nature of the investments. The evaluation scheme has evolved from a simple, financial based routine towards more complex approaches, most of them comprising multi-criteria and group techniques. Our reflections are an attempt to sum up the state-of-the-art and identify the main open-ended problems that should guide academic research.
