Description


Information Systems Management is intended to sensitize the heads of organizations to the issues raised by information systems (IS). Through its pedagogical presentation, this book ensures that issues related to IS are not left solely to the experts in the field.

This book combines and analyzes three key concepts in IS science: governance, urbanization and alignment. While governance implies the implementation of a certain number of means, bodies and procedures to manage IS more effectively, urbanization involves visualization methods to enable the manager to take into account the different levels of the organization of an IS and their coherence. Finally, alignment assesses the ability of the IS to make a significant contribution to the organization’s strategy.
