Summary: Problems with Pronunciation
Review: I'll admit it: I purchased this techno-tome in an effort to impress one of the girls in the IT shop at work. She'd been unresponsive to my normal (and myriad) charms and I placed the blame (wrongly) on my inability to speak her language. A few witty anecdotes from this book got me a first date, but my inability to pronounce the authors' names kept me from rounding first. Shameful!

Summary: Cases in IT management - Variety is essential
Review: This book has a good collection of interesting and easy to understand case studies. Unlike many case study books this does not suffer from containing a lot of overhead data. It is a good companion text for a course in IT Management. The editors offer a variety of cases in terms of both subject matter and context. It has cases from different countries covering a range of industries and organizations (both private and public sectors). The focus, however, is largely operational and tactical issues. Even though the questions at the end of many cases are well formulated, a few cases could benefit from the editorial support in bringing out the readers' creativity. All in all, it is a useful book.
