How to Stay Competitive in Today’s Global Marketplace

By IGI Global on Feb 27, 2012
In order for an organization to continually grow and become or remain competitive, they must pursue knowledge and innovation. Not advancing with technology will prove to be a hindrance and a detrimental factor to any organization's potential to succeed.

According to Mustafa Alshawi (University of Salford, UK) and Mohammed Arif (University of Salford, UK), the key element of success is "accepting change and a new way of working." This means that organizations need to be able and willing to adapt to change in the economy. As technology progresses, the business process needs to align with the advancing IT applications. If this is done correctly, one will create a sustainable competitive advantage.

In the 2012 casebook Cases on E-Readiness and Information Systems Management in Organizations, edited by Dr. Alshawi and Dr. Arif, one will find a compilation of IT/IS readiness models, cases, and associated issues. The book is divided into two parts; Part 1 presents the e-readiness model and is a compilation of case studies associated with IT/IS readiness models, and Part 2 is a compilation of cases related to different associated issues in IT/IS readiness.

Cases on E-Readiness and Information Systems Management in Organizations is filled with relevant research that readers can use to assess the e-readiness of their own organizations. One will find a series of principles, tools, and techniques relating to e-readiness, and pertinent information on how to successfully implement these models for the purpose of aligning IT with business strategies. Any researcher, academic, or practicing professional will find this casebook to be an invaluable resource of e-readiness knowledge.

This casebook would make an excellent addition to any business course. To learn more about this book, visit www.igi-global.com/book/cases-readiness-information-systems-management/52997.
