商品簡介
The collapse of companies such as Enron and WorldCom represents inadequate information support to boards of directors and investors to make strategic decisions as well as the failure of corporate governance systems, according to the foreword writer. Xu (business information systems, U. of Portsmouth, UK) collects 14 chapters by international contributors that map recent developments in strategic intelligence that emphasize the "pull of inquiry rather than the push of data." For senior managers and advanced students, the authors address the nature, benefits, and challenges of business intelligence; current frameworks, systems, and practices for garnering organization-wide support; and automated technologies to enhance strategic intelligence processing. The volume includes a detailed table of contents and extensive bibliography. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
