Making Critical Technology Decisions: Leading CTOs & CIOs on Identifying Opportunities, Calculating Return on Investments, and Aligning Technology with Business Goals

by Aspatore Books

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book. Chapters 1.) Ralph E.
