The Adventures of an IT Leader

By Robert Austin, Richard Nolan and Shannon O'Donnell

Published by: Harvard Business Press

More about the book...

There is often a gap between the theory and the practice of IT management, and this book seeks to bridge it by using the form of a novel. The main character is a senior manager who, without much IT expertise, is thrust into the CIO role in a large corporation. His trials range from managing subordinates who speak only in techno-jargon to negotiating with vendors to deciding how to allocate funds between maintenance and future investment. The Adventures of an IT Leader is not for everyone, but it provides some useful insights in an entertaining way.
