Strategy, Strategy, Strategy

Abstract

The year 1987 may well be remembered as the Year of Strategy. The ideas of using information as a strategic weapon, of creating information systems that advance corporate strategic purposes, and of using information systems for competitive advantage were everywhere - at professional meetings, in journal articles, and in books. In a previous issue (Winter 1987), I reviewed The Information Edge, by N. Dean Meyer and Mary E. Boone, which followed this theme. Since then, I have been bombarded with a flood of books on the subject; four of them are reviewed in this column.
