Das Produktivitätsparadoxon der Informationstechnologie besteht darin, daß sich selbst massive Investitionen seitens des Unternehmens konkret nur wenig auszuzahlen scheinen. Dieses sehr zeitgemäße Buch stellt durch Beiträge führender Spezialisten alle wichtigen Gedanken zu diesem Thema zusammen und zeigt Wege zur Evaluierung der IT auf, die sich in die Praxis umsetzen lassen. Diskutiert werden beispielsweise Risikobewertung, Outsourcing und IT-unterstützende Infrastrukturen im Unternehmen. (12/98)
