If you are an IT manager with Business responsibilities,


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

  • Managing your group, staffing, project management, changing companies, budgeting, dealing with vendors, compliance, etc.
  • How do you write a job description or a performance review? Should you hire an over-qualified candidate? How do you avoid "scope creep" in a project? Should you lease or buy equipment?

These and many other issues are discussed in detail in the first 8 chapters of the book; these chapters are devoted to "Business of Being an IT Manager".You can read portions of this material to determine what you need to know about the critical business issues you are facing.
