As with the first three editions, this fourth edition of Strategic Information Management: Challenges and Strategies in Managing Information Systemspresents the many complex and inter-related issues associated with the management of information systems. This book provides a rich source of material reflecting recent thinking on the key issues facing executives in information systems strategic management. It draws from a wide range of contemporary articles written by leading experts from North America, Asia, and Europe.
