Required in Today's Highly Competitive Environment

As the business world becomes more competitive, and the rate of failure of projects and businesses themselves increases, corporate leadership must adopt new methods of providing customer value. This is increasingly problematic in a constantly changing corporate environment that challenges the capability of IT systems to respond effectively to those changes. Managers and executives seeking solutions to these issues will benefit from reading `Creating Agile Business Systems with Reusable Knowledge.' This book takes a new approach to information as broader than simply program code, and discusses in detail how this approach can be used beneficially to meet the challenges of today's business world. Integrating ever-changing business needs with established IT systems can be time-consuming to the point of failure. This book will help business leaders successfully bridge that gap. `Creating Agile Business Systems with Reusable Knowledge' is replete with detailed diagrams that help illustrate the points being made, and thus increase and expedite learning. For example, in discussing `Domains and their Expression,' the authors include a detailed illustration of the integrated metamodel of pattern. Reading the text and studying the diagram help reinforce the new knowledge. Managers and executives will refer to this book repeatedly. It will become an integral part of the manager's business library.
