Business manager with IT responsibilities

If you are a Business manager with IT responsibilities:

Our book discusses many of the issues you deal with every day. Examples include:

Operations, the physical plant, networks, security, software, enterprise applications, storage and backup, user support services, websites, user equipment, and disaster recovery.

Why is TCO ("Total Cost of Ownership") so important? What are the different types of software testing everyone keeps talking about? How did we get into the situation we are in with computer security? What is the IT plan for disaster?

These and many other issues are discussed in detail in the last 12 chapters of the book; these chapters are devoted to "The Technology of Being an IT Manager". You can read portions of this material to determine what you need to know about the critical technical topics you are facing.
