The Information Edge
With N. Dean Meyer. Homewood, Illinois: Business One-Irwin, 1989; New York: McGraw-Hill, 1987. One of the first books to provide a comprehensive compilation of evidence to support the notion of the strategic value of computers. This book includes over 60 case studies where the authors quantify the so-called "intangible" benefits of computers. Original, practical methods for finding high-payoff applications and measuring the benefits of computers are fully delineated.
"...An important first step in giving managers a framework to evaluate the value of information technologies...This book is especially useful for people who sense the importance of the technology but are unable to articulate those feelings..." -- The Washington Post
