Die j?ngste A.T. Kearney Studie brachte es ans Licht: In Gesch?ftsf?hrer- und Topmanagementkreisen genie t die Informationstechnologie oberste Priorit?t auf der Tagesordnung. F?hrungskr?fte verbringen immer mehr Zeit damit, auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik zu bleiben, die ihnen von Technikern vermittelt wird, die zwar Experten in ihrem Fach sind, aber wenig Sinn f?r Unternehmensfragen haben. Dieses Buch schafft Abhilfe: Es enth?lt genau die Informationen, die F?hrungskr?fte brauchen, um die komplexe IT-Welt zu verstehen und erfolgreich zu meistern. (10/99)

Simply The Best Executive Guide To Understanding The IT Inf

Since the day IT became central to our lives, I have been grooping in the dark. I have gone into meetingS feeling totally at a lost on what the IT guys are talking about. No one, even the so called IT experts in my circle managed to give me an overview of what all these is about. I even managed to set up an IT training centre without understanding the fundamentals of the IT infrastructure - hoping I will learn on the job. I did but the learning was very disjointed. Then one day I saw this book by chance in a bookshop. There were only 2 copies. I bought it. Came back and read it into the wee hours of the morning. I went back the next day and bought the other copy as well for my wife. I wouldn't share my copy even with her. IT IS AN EYE OPENER. READ IT FROM COVER TO COVER. YOU WILL WALK INTO THE NEW ECONOMY, INTO THE CONNECTED WORLD A CHANGED PERSON. JAMES COX - WELL DONE & THANK YOU.YOU HAVE DONE ME REAL SERVICE.

Concise and Clear

This is a superb book. It demystifies IT and clearly explains the differences between platform technologies (hardware/software), networks, and information management systems. I've heard people use these terms for years, and never fully understood until I read this book what makes each component of the IT infrastructure unique, and how they all work together. Executive's Guide to Information Technology is well worth the money, and I highly recommend it.
