The Information Edge

This book provides the most comprehensive compilation to date of case studies which quantitatively measure the benefits of computers. It contains a full explanation of the methodology developed by the authors to quantify "soft" benefits, & a pragmatic guide on how to find strategic uses for computers. Readers who are looking for ways to measure "intangible" business benefits of any type will find this book useful. Its practical approach to measurement is backed up by over 60 case studies. Chapters on the use of computers by top executives & the use of computers in group meetings are particularly helpful. An extensive set of indexes in the book makes all of its valuable information very accessible to the reader. THE WASHINGTON POST says it "offers the most useful glimpse yet as to what white-collar productivity could mean in a post-industrial society." PC WEEK calls the book "most interesting for its range of true-life business stories that demonstrate how computers can make good business sense."N.
