About this title

Synopsis

This book is designed for senior practising managers who wish to improve the use of information for the corporate benefit of their enterprises. It takes the "general management" perspective concerned with the organization as a whole rather than just one functional part of it. It does not include a lot of factual information, about IT/IS. Such information is widely available elsewhere, and in any case should not be the immediate concern of the senior manager. It offers practical guidance in a form which is intelligible to general managers. It gives practical examples but avoids being dogmatic or prescriptive in detail. This approach should be of value to managers, from a wide range of disciplines (including IT/IS), who wish to take the holistic, general management view of their enterprise. The book will provide such managers with a framework for assessing and improving the practice of information management in their organizations. After an introductory chapter, the book develops six related guidelines for information management. You are strongly recommended to study the book in the sequence of the chapters. This will provide the clearest picture, and lead to the most effective action plan for your and your organization.
