Synopsis

The book addresses the practical needs of executives responsible for planning, budgeting and justifying information technology expenditures. It shows that there is no direct relation between spending on computers, profits or productivity. The book explains a new concept - Return-on-Management (tm) - as the measure of information productivity. It shows how information management is everybody's job. Written by a former chief information executive (1956-1978) and vice president of strategic planning (1978-1985) for three large multinational corporations. Author of the widely acclaimed Information Payoff.
