About the Book and Topic:
A new book from PricewaterhouseCoopers on linking corporate strategy with Information Technology, with advice geared to CEOs. IT is one of the top three-to-five expenditures in most large corporations; however, it has also been one of the least understood expenditures and one of the most mismanaged areas of many businesses. Organizations inability to meld IT organizations, systems, and technology, and to link these systems to the company’s strategic business drivers to produce results, is one of the major reasons why large, global mergers or acquisitions fail to deliver on their promised synergies. In response, this book provides a realistic and practical approach to linking IT to corporate strategy. It delivers real case examples to support all major points and looks at enterprise-wide IT issues from the CEOs perspective.
