Many of these are illustrated by case histories, each with a moral or a lesson.Purchasing and Financial Management of Information Technology provides useful guidelines and advice on whole range of topics including:* IT acquisitions policy* Dealing with suppliers* Budgeting and cost control* IT cost and risk management* Specification, selection and evaluation of systems* IT value for money
