Strategy Technology Alignment : Deriving Business Value from ICT Projects

This book represents the accumulation of many years of experience and also a decade of academic research. Aligning Strategy and Technology is the object of many organisations, but few have ever managed to achieve this with any noteworthy degree of success. Paul Griffiths has been involved in such organisations and has made a major contribution to both strategic thinking and the planning and implementation of these technological achievements. Paul has combined his experience and knowledge into a hybrid book which both discusses the theory of strategic technology alignment and also provides case study descriptions of how this has been done in practice. The case studies used are examples which have been written by leading researchers in the field. I have pleasure in highly recommending this book to academics who need a solid text for teaching, to researchers who require a base line from which to conduct further research ant to practitioners who wish to keep up to date with the latest thinking in the field.
