Information Economics: A Practical Approach to Valuing Information Systems
本文介绍了一种名为信息经济学（IE）的方法，用于分析信息系统对企业的价值及价值无法实现的风险，帮助业务和技术管理者优先投资信息系统，并通过两个案例展示其实际应用。
This paper describes an approach to analysing the value of information systems to an enterprise, and the risks that the value will not be realised. The approach is called Information Economics (IE). A key use is to prioritize investments in information systems. It brings together business and technology managers, by providing, at one level, a tool they can use for scoring systems. At another level, it offers a decision-making process that provides a number of key benefits, such as improved communications. Two case studies, from the public and private sectors, show two different, practical uses of the Information Economics approach, and how it can be adapted to different organizations.
