With the increasing speed, scale and flexibility of networks and ever more powerful computers, their combination is often
seen as the key enabler of competitive advantage. Equally, though, wrong decisions can often result in expensive mistakes.

information systems, many of whom are non-specialists, with a clear understanding of what new technology can do and how
best it can be deployed.
