Product Description

Product Description
For far too many organizations, investments in information technology (IT) fail to provide equivalent long-term value. Taking an overall organizational governance approach, "The Information Paradox" addresses the issues companies often face with IT value as symptoms of a broader business value problem. Updated to confront current organizational questions and issues, this insightful book introduces the author's Enterprise Value Management model, which allows decision makers to address IT questions in relation to overall organizational governance and manage all of their assets-including information technology-to derive full value from each.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent synthesis of ideas on getting value back from IT, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Well-structured well-written thought-provoking book. Good mix of theoretical and case-study materials. Clearly introduces useful models and analytical methods. Applies the balanced scorecard approach to IT value measurement, linked with an emphasis on sound programme management/control to constrain IT costs. The bottom line: a darn good read!

1.0 out of 5 stars Academic approach to paradoxes: scant advice for management., 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This academic book describes a number of apparent paradoxes in business that will be familiar to managers from junior supervisors upwards.

It adopts an unashamedly academic approach to analysing these problems, and uses many charts and diagrams that will almost certainly catch on with management consultants in coming years. A good example is the chart that exaplains IT investment in terms of a matrix composed of Linkage, Reach, People and Time. This chart is interesting and has some relevance to problems in major academic research organisations and helth and safety organisations.
