Creative Destruction examines the current transition from an industrial economy to an information economy and reveals the important role information technology plays in the transformation. Through a synthesis of case studies, computer simulations, economic analysis, and consulting practice findings, the authors demonstrate the important interplay between IT and organizational form and conclude that the emerging dominant form of organization is the network. The authors trace the evolution of this organizational form through a six-stage process that proceeds from downsizing, to distributing free cash flow appropriately to stakeholders, to developing a market access strategy, to focusing on the customer, to developing a market foreclosure strategy, to pursuing global scope. By recognizing the pattern of IT expenditures and their effects on the organizational form, managers can capture the benefits from IT investments and create value for their customers.

Executive Team Leadership in the Global Economic and Competitive Environment (Routledge Studies in Leadership Research)

Corporations have continued to grow and extend their operations into the global economy to the point that the modern corporation has become larger and more influential than many sovereign countries. In this global expansion, corporations have extended their operations with little restraint―almost only limited by corporate lawyers’ imaginations. Modern corporations have become so pervasive; world populations are more dependent on them for their food, services, technologies, work and daily well-being than ever before.  This book  analyzes the twenty-first century forces challenging the executive leadership of the modern corporation. Lessons are drawn for corporate leaders facing these challenges: turbulent times, balancing creators and stewards, managing company culture, managing by wire, incorporating global virtual organization structures, and managing sustained innovation. Nolan concludes with guidelines on creating a leadership agenda for transforming the corporation to successfully compete in the realities of the new corporate world of the twenty-first century.

Becoming an effective IT manager presents a host of challenges--from anticipating emerging technology to managing relationships with vendors, employees, and other managers. A good IT manager must also be a strong business leader. This book invites you to accompany new CIO Jim Barton to better understand the role of IT in your organization. You'll see Jim struggle through a challenging first year, handling (and fumbling) situations that, although fictional, are based on true events. You can read this book from beginning to end, or treat is as a series of cases. You can also skip around to address your most pressing needs. For example, need to learn about crisis management and security? Read chapters 10-12. You can formulate your own responses to a CIO's obstacles by reading the authors' regular "Reflection" questions. You'll turn to this book many times as you face IT-related issues in your own career.
