Information technology is expected to be flexible even in turbulent environments, making it possible to rapidly create new business and take advantage of business opportunities in the best possible way. Clearly, this is a significant challenge for information systems management, and calls for understanding of business goals, strategies, and the capabilities that information systems potentially provide. Overall, information systems management is a challenge which is often connected to integration of business and technology in the organization. Business managers are seldom technology experts, and vice versa. Accordingly, there is a need for understanding what technology, infrastructure and information systems in the organization can do to support business goals.”
