Governance of the Extended Enterprise: Bridging Business and IT Strategies

"This awaited book is a precious guide for action for companies, involved in the harsh worldwide economic competition, which consider IT as a powerful tool to address the complexity of process management outside their traditional borders. The extended environment is more demanding in innovation as well as in control and implies vision, efficiency and robustness in IT management.  As part of IT governance, this book adds the necessary vision of a thorough approach" --Jean-Pierre Corniou, Senior VP Chief Information Officer, Renault Group

"This book gives a lot of ideas for our new business model creation and governance dealing with our collaboration parties using internet technology. Very timely publication for practical understanding of SOX and new COSO concept." --Shuzo Sumi, CIO, Tokio Marine & Nichidou Fire Insurance Co., Ltd.

Today's participation in the Extended Enterprise model may not be visible to some, however, appears inevitable for continued success as a public sized company. This book helps the executive (IT and others) frame the Governance issues and opportunities to be had as we look beyond the physical walls of our organization toward the Extended Enterprise. --Michael Calderon, V.P. Information Technology, The Hain-Celestial Group, Inc.
