Customer Reviews

An excellent overview of strategic information management
This collection of articles presents a very thorough analysis of strategy in terms of information management. As a final year BSc Business Information Technology student I have found this book invaluable.

way too academic
Although the book contains a lot of detail and structural approaches to developing an IS Strategy, in my personal case, I found that few could be directly applied to the real world (in a resource effective manner).

I felt allot of the material was very academic and the only real benefit I took out of it was the graphical representations and tables.

In a word, "way too academic".
