Description

Current business conditions have put considerable pressure on organisations to carefully select, acquire and implement IT applications that have the ability to shift competitive advantage. Business organisations are becoming increasingly more dependent on information technology for growth and in some cases, mere survival. This book provides a review of the many issues associated with the constant and ever-accelerating changes in the field of information technology. As new technologies continue to emerge, managers must understand the criteria for choosing the correct technologies and provide adequate and effective management solutions. Each chapter introduces readers to the latest research findings and managerial experiences that deal with a variety of technological innovations within the information technology field. The book describes: how to plan effectively for new technologies; how to measure the impact of new technologies on end-user computing; and how to respond to emerging technologies with effective training programmes.
