    Richard Nolan developed the Stage Hypothesis model in the 1970s to describe how information technology grows within an organization through six stages of maturity. The model provides benchmarks to diagnose a firm's current stage of IT maturity and guidelines to manage growth and minimize crises. Nolan first published the model, which has been expanded from its original four stages, in articles in the Harvard Business Review.

    THE STAGE HYPOTHESIS OF RICHARD

    NOLAN

    INTRODUCTION:

    Richard L. Nolan developed the theoretical Stages of growth model (SGM) during the
    1970s. This is a general model, which describes the role of information technology (IT),
    and how it grows within an organisation.

    A first draft of the model was made in 1973, consisting of only four stages. Two stages
    were added in 1979 to make it a six-stage model. There were two articles describing the
    stages, which were first published in the Harvard Business Review. His theory provides
    benchmarks for diagnosing a fum's current standing within its progress through the
    stages and describes guidelines for managing that growth (to maturity) in a way which
    will minimize the occurrence of crisis situations and lost opportunities.
