  5. Internet banking is a tool to achieve competitive advantage and its usage has been spreading rapidly in recent years. This paper strives to identify a comprehensive study of the major internet banking quality measurements, which covers a wide range of literature relevant to international papers and scholars and then evaluate them through using a precise method, Shannon entropy. At the last stage the validated criteria were exploited to survey in Iranian banks. The empirical research consists of a quantitative study of internet banking by a sample of employees in two banks of Iran. In this regard, the raised question is about whether or not the internet banking is a strategic information system according to the investigation of bank employees' viewpoints. Such research considerably would be put into practice by professionals in the banking industry in order to determine the strategic role of internet banking. The intention has been to provide the information system managers with a set of practical indicators in order to help them evaluate internet banking based on the deeply studied indicators of internet banking service quality measurement.
