The field is broad, encompassing technology research as well as business and organizational processes. This is the first volume in a new series intended for both real-world managers who want to avoid practical pitfalls, as well as academic experts seeking to broaden and refine their research. Twenty contributions (one is a reprint from a journal) from experts in the US (mostly), with a few from Europe and one from Saudi Arabia, discuss issues, challenges, trends, and technologies. Among the topics: disseminating academic research in the new media, detection of data errors, knowledge process and system design for naval battle groups, and relating IS infrastructure to core competencies and competitive advantage.
