To function effectively, professional IT practitioners need not only the appropriate technical knowledge, skills and experience, but also a broad understanding of the context in which they operate.

Professional Issues in Information Technology aids IT professionals to be capable in their chosen professional areas, operate effectively in work and community situations and to be aware of their environments.

Online retailing continues to grow at a staggering rate. In the UK alone, internet sales rose by 50% year-on-year in the last three months of 2007 (source: Capgemini), and of those with internet access in the UK, 97% have made at least one online purchase (source: Nielsen Global Survey).  IT professionals are playing an increasingly pivotal role in shaping this new business landscape, and the success of many business ventures, is growing ever-more dependent on their skills and knowledge.  "Electronic Business" supports all of those with a stake in e-business or e-commerce by providing a solid grounding in their main functions. It is an invaluable source of information for anybody setting up a new business or managing an existing business, as well as those studying IT or Business Studies, taking an MBA, or managing the delivery of an IT service to new or established e-business customers.

How safe is your information? Recent events show that commercial, personal and sensitive information is very hard to keep secure, and some estimates point to 2007 as being the worst year on record for data loss. As breaches in information security continue to make headline news, it is becoming increasingly clear that technological solutions are not the only answer. Research conducted in 2007 suggests that at least 80% of data leakages are caused by staff rather than IT systems (source: Financial Times/Forrester Research, Nov-07). It is clear therefore that Information Security should be viewed as a management function rather than one of IT alone. Here, the authors outline the main management principles designed to help you secure your data, and raise awareness of the issues involved.

The high profile failure of major IT-related projects in both private and public sectors underlines the need for stringent change management. As businesses increasingly look to IT to enable that change, Sharm Manwani examines the types of business change processes that involve the use of IT, from the reasons organisations change the way they work, to how that change is identified, managed and implemented. The structure follows a new IT-enabled business change lifecycle which focuses on strategic alignment and delivering benefits rather than implementing a technology solution. All those involved in organisational change need to understand the pitfalls and the critical success factors. The potential audience therefore covers a wide range of business and IT executives, managers, professionals and expert users. The main desired outcome of this book is that it helps those who are involved in IT-enabled business change projects to understand the issues and to be more successful.

IT-Enabled Business Change: Successful Management

Large organisations can suffer badly when IT procurement goes wrong, but for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs), it can be fatal. This handbook is specifically designed to help SMEs understand and manage that risk throughout the entire procurement process. Whether it is identifying the changing IT requirements of the business, evaluating potential suppliers or managing them once appointed, this handbook guides readers past the pitfalls, which so many other SMEs have fallen victim to, and which can often be very costly. The book is designed to be practical and provides a very hands-on approach to procurement with the use of checklists and sample templates
