This is one of the best (if not the best) books in this field. The answers are obviously written by experts in their areas, yet they managed to convey the ideas in a simple easy to understand manner. I think this is an excellent book for both people that have an IT background as well as for the general public!

As good as the book is the examples and reference material for further detail is even better. I just finished reading an article by Eric Goldfarb who is a CIO at:

His work is in the book along with the URL. More detail like this shows the terrific value of both the academic and practical nature of this book.

"Business Driven Information Technology" is an interesting compilation of answers to every question, topic, strategy, or buzzword that a business manager may be exposed to today. This should be mandatory for any aspiring business leader to expand understanding of current strategies and technologies. Each section addresses approximately 7-15 questions that are related by topic. This can be read from beginning to end as it flows from topic to topic. Each answer is thoroughly discussed in detail over a few pages. At minimum, this book puts current business practices on paper for explanation; including where it is today, and where it may be going in the future in an easy to follow manner.

It appears this book was a compilation from the business department at University of Colorado at Denver. Congratulations to that team for putting together an excellent description of what's going in the business world, which is suitable for business students to business professionals. The best thing about this book is the way the authors mixed management strategy and philosophy with technology. The one thing I would change is move one of the last sections regarding implementation and project management closer to the beginning of the book. There are a lot of great concepts throughout the book, but I wish I would've read them with knowledge of project implementation in mind.
