ABSTRACT: Wollongong City Council (WCC) is one of the most progressive and
innovative local government organizations in Australia. Wollongong City Council use
Information Technology to gain the competitive advantage and to face a global
economy in the future. Porter’s Five Force model is one of the models that can be
using at Wollongong City Council because porter’s five Forces model has strength in
relationship between buyer and suppliers (Bargaining power of suppliers and
bargaining power of buyers). Other model such as Scott Morton’s Five Forces model
has strength to analyze the social impact factor, so to gain competitive advantage in
the future and have a good IT/IS strategic planning; this model can be use also.
Bakos & Treacy model almost the same as Porter’s model but Bakos & Treacy model
can also be applying into Wollongong City Council to improve the capability in
Transforming organization, efficiency, and effectiveness.
