Synopsis

This book examines the advantages and disadvantages of centralizing versus decentralizing the management of information systems functions within an organization. The author argues that while there are valid arguments to be made on both sides of the issue, the ultimate decision should be based on a careful analysis of the specific needs of the organization in question. The book provides a framework for such an analysis, and offers a wealth of practical advice on how to implement and manage both centralized and decentralized information systems. The author draws on the existing literature on the topic, as well as on case studies of organizations that have successfully implemented both centralized and decentralized systems. This book is essential reading for any manager or IT professional responsible for making decisions about the organization of information systems functions within their organization. It provides a clear and concise overview of the issues involved, and offers practical advice on how to make the best decision for your organization.
