Information Technology and Educational Management in the Knowledge Society is an essential reference for both academic and professional researchers in the field of information technology and educational management.
Since the mid-1980’s, computer assisted educational information systems have been developing in various parts of the world and the knowledge surrounding the development and implementation of these systems has been growing. The papers presented in this volume are the result of an international call for papers addressing the challenges faced by the information technology and education management (ITEM) field in a society where knowledge management is becoming a major issue both in educational and business systems.
This state-of-the-art volume presents the proceedings of the 6th International Working Conference on Information Technology in Educational Management, held July 2004 in Spain.
The collection will be important not only for information technology and e… More >>

Technology transfer has expanded rapidly over the past 20 years in Western Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim. It has been estimated that some 50% of new products and processes will originate outside the primary developer; academic and other research institutions are obvious sources of much of this new technology.
In the NATO Co-operating countries, however, technology transfer is in its infancy; it is crucial for wealth creation and improvement in the quality of life that this mechanism is developed. The papers selected for inclusion in this book discuss issues related to the development of technology transfer in NATO Co-operating countries. The book identifies crucial research issues for science and technology policy researchers and, as a conclusion, offers some policy recommendations. The authors are drawn from NATO and Co-operating partner countries, from other parts of the world, and from international organisations. The focus of the book is on the institutional fram… More >>

FORTIFY is intended to be an instructional guide for corporate leaders who are responsible for the development of a Strategic Information Systems Plan (SISP). A plan that integrates the business and technology needs of their small to medium sized enterprise. Alignment of these needs is essential for the organization to achieve optimum revenue growth and maximize operating efficiencies.
FORTIFY is designed for corporate leaders of all disciplines who strive to improve their organization’s planning practices. The intended audience needs to understand basic business operation principals and return on investment concepts.
FORTIFY outlines best practices for the creation of a SISP and helps corporate leaders recognize the benefits of aligning the Business Objectives with Information Technology Systems (ITS) projects. Often these two processes are developed independently resulting in resource inefficiencies.

The material in all four guides is extremely dry, begging fo… More >>
