Enterprise IT Governance, Business Value and Performance Measurement reports on high-level academic research outcomes, providing evidence-based insight into the management and contribution of IT within organizations. It also offers practical insights, models, and tools that are instrumental in gaining business value from IT. With contributions from 35 international professionals, this valuable reference appeals to both academic and practitioners in the field of IT management and business and IT alignment.
