Synopsis Information Technology Evaluation Methods and Management by : Wim Van Grembergen

The evaluation of IT and its business value are the subject of many academic and business discussions. Investments in IT are growing extensively, and business managers worry about the fact that the benefits might not be as high as expected. This phenomenon is often called the IT investment paradox or the IT Black Hole: large sums are invested in IT that seem to be swallowed by a large black hole without rendering many returns. How to measure the benefits of IT is the concern of this book titled Information Technology Evaluation Methods and Management. The different IT evaluation approaches and methods are discussed and illustrated with cases: traditional financial evaluations such as the return on investment, information economics and the recently introduced IT Balanced Scorecard. The latter approach is proposed as an ideal mechanism to support the IT/business alignment process and its related IT governance process. Among some of the topics included in this book are: software measurement; ERP project evaluation; strategic electronic commerce evaluation.

Synopsis Evaluating Information Systems by : Zahir Irani

The adoption of Information Technology (IT) and Information Systems (IS) represents significant financial investments, with alternative perspectives to the evaluation domain coming from both the public and private sectors. As a result of increasing IT/IS budgets and their growing significance within the development of an organizational infrastructure, the evaluation and performance measurement of new technology remains a perennial issue for management. This book offers a refreshing and updated insight into the social fabric and technical dimensions of IT/IS evaluation together with insights into approaches used to measure the impact of information systems on its stakeholders. In doing so, it describes the portfolio of appraisal techniques that support the justification of IT/IS investments. Evaluating Information Systems explores the concept of evaluation as an evolutionary and dynamic process that takes into account the ability of enterprise technologies to integrate information systems within and between organisations. In particular, when set against a backdrop of organisational learning. It examines the changing portfolio of benefits, costs and risks associated with the adoption and diffusion of technology in today's global marketplace. Finally approaches to impact assessment through performance management and benchmarking is discussed.

Synopsis Leading Issues in Is Evaluation by : Shaun Pather

Volume 2 of Leading Issues in ICT Evaluation Research is a compilation of nine academic articles originally published in EJISE between 2010 and 2015. The articles were identified through a meta-analysis of information systems evaluation papers, undertaken by Professor Shaun Pather, editor of the Electronic Journal for Information Systems Evaluation (www.ejise.com). The analysis was based on the degree to which each articles advances the ICT evaluation body of knowledge with special emphasis on issues typical of the current inter-networked era. Thus, these articles, when considered as a whole, reflect the leading issues in the evaluation of Information Systems over the past five years, and are therefore invaluable to both the research and the business communities. This book further provides a global view of ICT evaluation with research perspectives highlighted from eight different countries. Each paper is accompanied by an insightful editorial commentary to highlight the importance of each article. These therefore set an important framework for future research in the forthcoming era.

Synopsis Management and Information Technology: New Challenges by : prof. Joanna Paliszkiewicz

This fifteen-chapter monograph edited by Joanna Paliszkiewicz is an interesting read that focuses on light to moderate topics in the areas of management and information technology. The topics are from cryptocurrencies and their online exchanges in Poland to using the concept of blockchain in agribusiness, using virtual reality, creating knowledge and innovation in family businesses, the importance of social media in education, risk analysis, security and forensic science, and effective communication in enterprises. The monograph continues with topics of CRM/ERP implementation in SMEs in Poland, big data/agri-food industry and innovative solution for knowledge management, the impact of digital technologies on competences, digitization in agriculture, and the impact of merchandising on consumer behaviour. Although there is little connection in terms of reading structure form one chapter to the next, each chapter uniquely stands alone to offer insights into the topic it examines in a very simple and understandable manner.
