Abstract

Today, there are few in senior management positions who can afford to ignore modern information technology, and few individuals who would prefer to be without it.

Modern IT is key to organizational performance; yet we often assume the benefits will occur without forethought or effort. As managerial tasks become more complex, so the nature of the required information systems changes – from structured, routine support to ad-hoc, unstructured, complex enquiries at the highest levels of management. If taken for granted, serious implications can arise for organizations.

This fifth edition of Strategic Information Management has been brought fully up to date with recent developments in the management of information systems, including digital transformation strategy, the issues surrounding big data and algorithmic decision-making.

The book provides a rich source of material reflecting recent thinking on the key issues facing executives, drawing from a wide range of contemporary articles written by leading experts in North America, Europe, and Australia. Combining theory with practice, each section is fully introduced, includes further reading and questions for further discussion.Designed for MBA, master's level students, and advanced undergraduate students taking courses in information systems management, it also provides a wealth of information and references for researchers.

"This fifth edition of Strategic Information Management updates and extends a unique selection of theories and valuable practice insights, established in the previous editions, and offers a roadmap for executives navigating in the digital landscape and coping with the digitization challenges associated with organizational transformation. The book has the right balance of theoretical frameworks and practical insights. Taken together, the book reflects recent thinking regarding many of the key issues facing executives in getting the most out of their investments in information technology and digitalization initiatives, highlighting the complex strategy, organizational and governance issues involved."
