Recenzii
'Today's corporations succeed or fail, in part, according to their ability to manage enterprise systems (large and complex computerized systems with cost typically in the millions of dollars). The Long Conversation examines how organizations learn not only to live with enterprise systems, but also achieve goals beyond those they set out to achieve. This book closes the gap between rhetoric and practice. It provides tools to manage the dialogue (and learning) that takes place in diffusing new technological capabilities, growing mastery, and adapting the organization's business model. It is a must read for those who are interested in enterprise systems implementation.' Dr Ramiro Montealegre, Professor of Information Systems at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA
'In our constantly changing complex business world, IT/Enterprise Systems are an excellent asset which can offer great added value to an organization. Implementing such IT and getting the most out of it however can be a long and difficult path with lots of obstacles on the way. One can easily get lost in the maze of technical possibilities. Therefore, especially when 'rolling out' such IT at different legal entities of a global operating business, it is of vital importance also to focus on people and processes. The Long Conversation gives a concise overview plus practical hints on how not to lose track and how to keep focused on the issue. Case studies from different industry sectors make it easy to get valuable help and guidance.' Frank Seeger, Head of Logistics, Bayer Health Care, Madrid
' a vital and long overdue book to help Executives understand that deriving value from technology investment is not just about technology, but about the organizational behaviours and processes that give substance to the IT infrastructure.' Professor John Beckford, Loughborough University & Beckford Consulting, UK

BEN RAMDANI research interests lie in IT-enabled business change, particularly in the role required of senior managers to successfully orchestrate such change. His research investigates how senior managers can most effectively select, implement, and deploy IT to achieve business goals. His current research falls in two categories: (1) to investigate how firms can build capabilities to deliver incremental business value from IT, and (2) to explore disruptive change and how businesses that may be well managed, customer-friendly, and technologically advanced-they are still susceptible to failure or to being overtaken by upstart competitors. Dr. Ramdani's experience includes a consulting activity focused on advising firms on IT and strategy related matters and how to unlock business value from their IT investments. Until recently, he was sponsored by CA, the world's leading independent provider of IT management software, as a research fellow at Cranfield School of Management to investigate how firms can realize additional business value from their IT investments. He has been involved in a number of projects including Transferring Across Local Knowledge (TALK), and Social Inclusion through the Digital Economy (SiDE). Dr Ramdani has been a visiting lecturer at both Manchester Business School (UK) and IE Business School (Spain). He received his Ph.D. fromManchester Business School, his MBA and BSc from Leeds University Business School, UK.
