Imagine thinking about your company's information technology in the same way that you think about its investment portfolio: as a bundle of assets that - when managed right - generate revenues and savings. This title presents a framework for leveraging IT (technology, networks, data, and software), and contains case studies.

One of the most important investments in an organization is its information technology (IT) infrastructure. Yet many managers are ill-prepared to make sound IT investment decisions. Drawing upon rigorous research with over 100 businesses in 75 firms in nine countries, the authors here present a wide range of IT possibilities, enabling managers to take control of decisions that many have relegated to technical staff or vendors.
