IT-Enabled Strategic Management: Increasing Returns for the Organization

IT-Enabled Strategic Management: Increasing Returns for the Organization includes outstanding contributions from leading intellectuals exploring the crossroads of information technology systems and strategic management. This book presents research on: specific market enhancements, information management for decision making, inter-organizational efficiencies, the importance of maintaining crucial relationships, and broader societal and global ramifications. IT-Enabled Strategic Management: Increasing Returns for the Organization encourages continued deliberate cross-fertilization in these critical research areas at a very strategic point in history. Although the parallel development of these fields continues, globalization and technological advances have set the stage for convergence of these fields in a number of arenas.
