Description
'IT in Business: A Manager's Casebook' examines the impact of new IT initiatives from the business angle. The case material is derived
from the year's best research projects from three leading UK Business Schools - Bath, Cranfield and Warwick.
This incisive exploration
of managing processes in IT companies is essential reading for IT managers in 'end-user' businesses who have to deliver strong business
benefits from IT. In a climate of rapid and continual change, such contemporary information is invaluable.
'IT in Business: A Manager's
Casebook' tackles managerial issues using specific case studies such as Tesco, Johnsons News Limited and the Department of Health to
illustrate these points.
