It Savvy

Insights in this book come from a series of research projects conducted between 2000 and 2009 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Information Systems Research (MIT CISR) on how top-performing firms generate superior business value from IT. Weill and Ross, affiliated with the Center, distill research on 1,800 companies in 60 countries into an actionable framework for gaining value from IT. The framework addresses IT funding and govnernance and offers suggestions for revamping the operating model for a digital economy, creating a reusable digital platform, and allocating decision rights and accountabilities. Ideas are illustrated with examples from top-performing companies such as UPS and 7-Eleven. The information can be applied to small or large organizations, for-profits or non-profits, and government organizations. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
