Summary/Abstract: Due to the phenomenon of the technological paradox, much research has concentrated on measuring the impact of information systems and information tech-nology (IS/IT) on performance of companies. The methods and the focus of re-search gradually evolved as the economy shifted from industrial to post-industrial, with rapid expansion of IT. The methods are quantitative, qualitative, or combination of both. Previous studies identified a variety of attributes of a company that may be significantly affected by the introduction of IS/IT. The main contribution of this paper is the specification of methods which could be used to determine the relative importance of the selected attributes. We propose one of the follow-ing methods: i) multiple regression with data envelopment analysis, ii) inductive logic programming, and iii) factor analysis or principle component analysis.
