The MOST likely effect of the lack of senior management commitment to IT strategic planning is:

A. a lack of investment in technology.

B. a lack of a methodology for systems development.

C. technology not aligning with the organizations objectives.

D. an absence of control over technology contracts.

Explanation:

A steering committee should exist to ensure that the IT strategies support the organizations goals. The absence of an information technology committee or a committee not composed of senior managers would be an indication of a lack of top-level management commitment. This condition would increase the risk that IT would not be aligned with the organizations strategy.
