Measuring Information Technology Investment Payoff: Contemporary Approaches (Series in Information Technology Management)



by Mo Adam Mahmood, Edward J. Szewczak "Measuring Information Technology Investment Payoff:
Contemporary Approaches (Series in Information Technology Management)"
Publisher: IGI Global |30.5MB | PDF | Pages: 556 | 1998-10 | ISBN:187828942X

It would seem that business investment in information technology (IT) is at root no different from business investment in anything else. After a careful consideration of the costs of the investment and its anticipated benefits, a decision is made as to whether the benefits of the investment outstrip the costs and by how much. If the benefits are competitive with other investment alternatives (say, a major marketing campaign), then the business will commit financial resources to the IT proposal. Otherwise it won't. This decision making process is at the heart of capital budgeting. Senior executives have been making IT investment decisions for well over three decades. So why is the measurement of IT investment payoff so difficult and controversial? Why do we need a book dealing with contemporary approaches to measuring IT investment payoff? Why have earlier approaches to measuring IT investment payoff proven unsatisfactory? In what respects have earlier approaches fallen short? Do we need to scrap earlier approaches entirely or can we find important improvements to these approaches such that they can be newly applied to effectively measure IT investment payoff in ways that are convincing to senior management? This book will help you to find improvements in existing methods for measuring IT investment payoff as well as to find new, innovative methods for addressing the value of emerging IT.

Analysis of Variance and Covariance: How to Choose and Construct Models for the Life Sciences



C. Patrick Doncaster, Andrew J. H. Davey “Analysis of Variance and Covariance:
How to Choose and Construct Models for the Life Sciences"
Cambridge University Press | 2007-10-22 | ISBN:052186562X | PDF | 304 pages | 1,5 Mb


Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a core technique for analysing data in the Life Sciences. This reference book bridges the gap between statistical theory and practical data analysis by presenting a comprehensive set of tables for all standard models of analysis of variance and covariance with up to three treatment factors. The book will serve as a tool to help post-graduates and professionals define their hypotheses, design appropriate experiments, translate them into a statistical model, validate the output from statistics packages and verify results. The systematic layout makes it easy for readers to identify which types of model best fit the themes they are investigating, and to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of alternative experimental designs. In addition, a concise introduction to the principles of analysis of variance and covariance is provided, alongside worked examples illustrating issues and decisions faced by analysts.
