A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In an environment swamped with technical jargon and riddled with fads, this book outlines vital strategies to ensure that the information systems segment of an organization is as effective as possible. It explores the key systems issues and decisions facing organizations and explores each in the context of both an organizational and management point of view. Practical actions and methods are then offered for dealing with each issue.

À propos de l?auteur

James D. McKeen and Heather A. Smith say that they never planned to write a book. When they started the Queen's IT Management Forum, their interests were purely academic. They wanted to find out what was happening in the front line of the "IT wars" in organizations. They quickly discovered that if there was a need in academia to learn more about IT in organizations, then there was an equal need in organizations to learn more about the big picture trends in using IT. Their work, and this book, is the outcome of a new form of scholarship. It bridges the gap between the practical, everyday knowledge of the IS manager and the measured thoughtful knowledge of the academic researcher. The former is anecdotal and incomplete -- the latter is methodologically sound and thorough but often of little practical help to the IS manager.
