Abstract

Robson's book aims to provide information systems students with an understanding of strategic management concepts and to direct business studies students to apply their management understanding to information systems. This text explains what management is, and the tools and techniques employed for business analysis. The author covers both the strategic management of information systems and how to improve strategic management using information systems. This includes areas such as how to stucture and manage the IS resource, the risks to which coporate systems are exposed and the legislative framework. Each section is supported by mini-case material, longer case exercises and other material designed to stimulate discussion. It is suitable for undergraduates following programmes in information systems and business studies, as well as those on MBA and MSc programmes.
