"This book provides leaders and innovators with research and strategies to make the most of their options involving IT and organizational management approaches"--Provided by publisher.

Misra (information technology and systems, Institute of Rural Management, Anand, India) and Rahman (computer management and science, U. of Minho, Portugal) share insights they have gained managing the acquisition of information technology for over 30 years by commercial, government, and academic organizations. They cover organizational and technology issues, the modeling process, and applying the model. Among specific topics are organizational preparedness, associated models, a life cycle management model, the process of validating a model, the validation process for tier-III variables and fitness of the model, and case-based studies of applying the model.
