5 out of 5 stars Insightful Analysis Not Often Seen   January 12, 2006
Tomato Pie (West Chester, PA USA)
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

The problem with technologists is that they often become so enamored of the technology that they lose sight of its practical application. Happily, these authors have both a command of the technology and a keen ability to relate it to modern business. This text carries you seamlessly from the early days of computers as simply automation tools to the modern internetworked world. Solid case studies of both successes and failures illustrate the points. This is high-level stuff, and precisely the kind of book that not only students should read, but also every CIO and CEO.


5 out of 5 stars A Manual that IT Executives can use throughout their careers.   May 10, 2006
Harry Feely (USA)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book has several features that roll into a very useful action guide and reference manual. IT executives should keep this book on their desk, and refer to it every time they have a significant decision to be made.

The book covers the IT field at the business level, not at the detailed technical level. It treats the information management field from strategy formulation by the business, to operation and retirement of the IT asset.

In particular, at the end of each chapter are a series of 10-20 questions that any executive should ask every time she or he has to make judgements or decisions about IT. These questions can be used and re-used throughout an entire career, and will enhance the individual's performance.
