101 Ethical Dilemmas

From overcrowded lifeboats to the censor's pen, Martin Cohen's stimulating and amusing dilemmas will have you scratching your head and laughing out loud in equal measure.

Kompakt, verstandlich und praxisnah erhalten Manager einen aktuellen Einblick in die IT. So können sie die technologischen Fortschritte der IT ebenso wie die organisatorischen Optionen einschatzen und zielgerichtet nutzen. Parallelen zum Alltag, zum Unternehmen und zur IT sowie Beispiele aus der Praxis machen die zunachst komplex erscheinende Materie, das "Buch mit sieben Siegeln", und den englisch gepragten "IT-Slang" verstandlich und transparent. Von den Geschaftsanforderungen zeigen die Autoren den Weg zur kennzahlengesteuerten IT-Organisation. Trends und Hypes geben einen Ausblick auf die Zukunft. So können Manager die IT an den Unternehmensanforderungen ausrichten und den Wertbeitrag der IT erhöhen.
