Description
'Strategic Information Management' has been completely up-dated to reflect the rapid changes in IT and the business environment since
the publication of the second edition. Half of the readings in the book have been replaced to address current issues and the latest
thinking in Information Management.
It goes without saying that Information technology has had a major impact on individuals, organizations
and society over the past 50 years or so. There are few organizations that can afford to ignore IT and few individuals who would prefer
to be without it. As managerial tasks become more complex, so the nature of the required
information systems (IS) changes - from structured,
routine support to ad hoc, unstructured, complex enquiries at the highest levels of management.
As with the first and second editions,
this third edition of 'Strategic Information Management: Challenges and strategies in managing information
systems' aims to present the
many complex and inter-related issues associated with the management of information systems. The book provides a rich source of material
reflecting recent thinking on the key issues facing executives in information systems management. It draws from a wide range of contemporary
articles written by leading experts from North America and Europe.
'Strategic Information Management' is designed as a course text for
MBA, Master's level students and senior undergraduate students taking courses in information management. It provides a wealth of information
and references for researchers in addition.
Audience
MBA and other masters and diploma level students. Advanced undergraduates and executives on courses focusing on strategic information management. IT and Business Systems Managers.
