This excellent compendium of current thought on the topic of information technology (IT) investment justification from recognized experts in the field, edited by well regarded researchers on the topic, is a must read for any academic or executive trying to understand the intricacies and nuances of the payback of using IT. While the book is primarily academic in nature, it will enlighten anyone grappling with the multiple dimensions of understanding the challenge of IT investment. The editors bring a blend of academic rigor from Oxford University, and practical aspects from Lucidius Management Technologies to the writing. The readership level is appropriate for graduate students, researchers and faculty, but may be a bit dense for practitioners without a background in formal research methodologies. The bibliographies at the end of each chapter are excellent sources of information. The studies presented are global in scope, and range from case studies to research evaluation conducted in the 1990's. Highly recommended for an update or an introduction to a thorny issue that will only continue to exacerbate as the price tags and organizational dependency on computers grow.

I am very happy with my purchase. It came on time, and it was in very good condition.
