In order to sustain any competitive advantage gained through the application of information technology, companies must continually seek improvement. They must employ environmental scanning techniques to determine what technology is available, be willing to adopt new information technology, and know what the competition is planning or doing. Advanced Topics in Global Information Management, Volume 4 addresses these important issues.

A comprehensive snapshot of relevant global issues in information management. This is a must-read for the Ph.D. student studying post-Y2K information management. It is also the perfect entry point for anyone conducting a literature review in information management. It points in all the right directions.
