Management by Maxim

Management by Maxim offers a practical guide to aligning information technology (IT) infrastructures with business strategy. Based on research conducted at the MIT Sloan School of Management's Center for Information Systems Research, the book provides a framework for creating business-driven IT infrastructures that support organizational goals and enhance competitive advantage.

Broadbent and Weill present a series of 'maxims' or guiding principles, which can be used by senior managers and IT professionals to make informed decisions about IT investments and infrastructure design. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the business context, aligning IT with business processes, and building flexible and adaptable IT systems. By following the principles outlined in Management by Maxim, organizations can create IT infrastructures that are not only efficient and cost-effective but also contribute to overall business success.
