IT Investment in Developing Countries: An Assessment and Practical Guideline: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "IT Investment in Developing Countries: An Assessment and Practical Guideline" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The evaluation of information systems in developing countries has gained considerable interest among academics, consultants and practitioners. Despite this emerging interest, there is not much helpful literature on the evaluation of information systems in developing countries, and the many issues and criteria that should be carefully evaluated. Most existing literature attempts to use the experience of IT evaluation in developed nations to apply to the case of IT evaluation in developing nations. IT Investment in Developing Countries: An Assessment and Practical Guideline offers an original approach to the assessment of the effectiveness of IT investment in developing countries. While others might have attempted to examine the possibility of quantifying IT investment expenditures and the problem of measuring the intangible benefits of IT, they have not addressed the total evaluation of IT in developing countries. However, this book offers standards for developing a process to evaluate the effectiveness of IT that will make a useful contribution for managers in their attempts to quantify new technology purchases in developing nations.
