What we want is faster turnaround time for systems and we?re not getting it!\" The person who runs the IS division recognizes that it has a strategic role. \"The management is locked into a 1980s timewarp ? how do I persuade them that IS has more to offer than in the past?\" The aim of the book is to step into the middle ground. It emphasizes the important role an IS manager plays in the development of the company strategy. It will show how the everyday problems need to be seen in a fresh perspective ? that of balancing the competing pressures of business and technology. Get too far from the technology and too close to the business, and technology will pull you back. Get focused on technology and lose sight of the business, and the business will make sure you know about it. The goal of this book is to provide IS managers with balanced information to guide them. Why does it matter? Because, in many ways, the future of our organizations is in the hands of today?s IS managers. Management Challenges in IS will help them make wise and thoughtful choices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePartial table of contents:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Importance of Effective Information Systems Management.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MANAGING IS IN THE ORGANIZATION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Re-engineering the Corporation: Where Does IS Fit In?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Marketing Information Systems...\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And Getting it Right.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MANAGING THE IS ORGANIZATION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Re-tooling Information Systems: A New Vision for IS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Managing the IS Infrastructure.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Human Resources Management for IS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MANAGING IS PERFORMANCE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Improving System Development Productivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Improving Testing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e MANAGING THE INFORMATION RESOURCE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Managing IS Complexity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mining for Coprorate Information.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Managing Legacy Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Preparing for the Millennium Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Information Systems Management and Your Organization.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316701884696,"sku":"9780471965169","price":93.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471965169.jpg?v=1781821963","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/managing-information-systems-in-is-successful-strategies-and-appropriate-action-hardback-9780471965169","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
