Shrinking the It Gap

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Die jüngste A.T. Kearney Studie brachte es ans Licht: In Geschäftsführer- und Topmanagementkreisen genießt die Informationstechnologie oberste Priorität auf der Tagesordnung. Führungskräfte verbringen immer mehr Zeit damit, auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik zu bleiben, die ihnen von Technikern vermittelt wird, die zwar Experten in ihrem Fach sind, aber wenig Sinn für Unternehmensfragen haben. Dieses Buch schafft Abhilfe: Es enthält genau die Informationen, die Führungskräfte brauchen, um die komplexe IT-Welt zu verstehen und erfolgreich zu meistern. Information technology is the term given to the tools and methods used to collect, retain, manipulate, or distribute information. Senior level executives are spending more time keeping abreast of technology, but often are not comfortable dealing with technology issues. This book will provide executives with the information they need to understand today's complex IT environment in relation to disaster and contingency plans and provides critical information and a comfort zone for management that will help make sense of what seems to be a chaotic cluster of components
