Until recently, few case books have been written about information systems management in Hong Kong. Most previous publications in the field have drawn their material from North America and Europe. There are few which reflect the local situation familiarto readers in Hong Kong.
To address this situation, the Case Clearing House of Hong Kong has encouraged local authors to write cases based on true-to-life Hong Kong situations. In this volume, sixteen cases are selected from the library of the Case Clearing House. Areas covered include: human issues; changes in organization; ethical issues; system operation; information systems development; and information systems strategy.
Managers in the information systems-related industry will find the situations presented in the book similar to those they face in their work and will be able to learn from the discussions of the cases presented. Students will find the cases a valuable means of developing their understanding of information systems and related practices in Hong Kong. The book will also benefit trainers who will be able to make use of the cases on training programmes.
A tutorial guide with comprehensive teaching notes is available separately from the publisher for teachers.
