'Corporate Politics for IT Managers: How to get Streetwise'
addresses some of the most persistent problems faced by IT managers
which undermine their power and influence in their organisations
and which prevents them obtaining seat on the board of directors.
It deals directly with the IT stereotype and offers advice on
how to survive and then thrive despite the odds being stacked
against the IT manager. Divided into four parts, 'How the IT
Manager Gets Streetwise' begins by placing the IT stereotype in
context, and proceeds to challenge the IT persons' habitual
behaviours of the past, and present ways of rethinking IT services,
before concluding with how managers can become "streetwise" in
today's organisations.
There are many books on the market telling IT managers how to
construct IT and IS strategies, and even more on how to 'run' an IT
department or function. However, few deal with the politics in
organisations.
'Corporate Politics for IT Managers: How to get Streetwise' equips
IT managers with the necessary skills to cope successfully in the
political arenas of the boardrooms in today's businesses.
