Synopsis

This book is an examination of the concept of partnership between line managers and information systems managers and specialists, and a strategy for creating and managing them. A core focus is on exploring the determinants of effective partnership in action and in context. The author argues that the effective use of information technology as a competitive strategy necessitates effective integration of information technology into an organization. This book explores concepts and theories of participatory decision making, emphasizing the criticality of building strong working relationships between line and IT managers. The author presents a model of partnership based on structured interviews with executives. This framework identifies six key partnership determinants: mutual benefits, commitment, predisposition, shared knowledge, mutual dependency, and organizational linkage. The book contains practical strategies to build and sustain partnership relationships, including joint planning, performance measurement, and the effective use of cross-functional teams. The book concludes that the insights provided by this research will be invaluable to senior managers seeking to achieve maximum value from their IT investments through effective partnerships between line and IT managers.
