Building on the success of the first edition of Strategic Information Management, this second edition draws on a wide range of contemporary articles by leading experts in North America and Europe, such as: Bob Benjamin, Michael Earl, Blake Ives, Sirkka Jarvenpaa, Lynne Markus, Edgar Schein and Leslie Willcocks. Each deals with aspects of the most important and pressing Information Systems Management themes. The collection is given added coherence with the introduction of an easily understood framework of Information Systems Strategy and Planning within the wider organizational and business context. In addition, lessons are reinforced by the inclusion of discussion questions at the end of each chapter; these often refer to points raised elsewhere in the book as well.Strategic Information Management is designed as a course text for MBA, Master's and final year undergraduate students, and provides a helpful launch pad for researchers and Doctoral students investigating these key issues. The book can be read from cover-to- cover, or as a ready reference for those whose need to dip into aspects of the subject.
