The latest thoughts on Information Technology management
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I picked up this book because it seemed to be the best current book about the state of the art of Information Technology management. It contains short easy to read articles on topics ranging from Supply Chain, Knowledge Management and eCommerce written by some IT gurus including many academics, Peter Drucker and some Anderson people.It comes with bit of a European perspective. I have read that European companies get better return on their investment in IT and perhaps this book reflects this. It lacks the hype of most of the American IT management books. My only criticism is that the book is somewhat academic, lacks depth in parts and is very light on the technology side of things. Glancing at the index for "Java" or "Open Source" one notices it is missing these key new technologies.For what I was looking for it was great - an overall picture of the state of IT management theory. It filled in some of my knowledge gaps and made good subway reading.
