Managing subsystem commonality
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Lifecycle perspectives on product data management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Implementing a new IT system often requires the enterprise to transform in order to maximally leverage the capabilities generated by the new system. The challenge in using IT as an enabler to change arises from the need ...
Metrics for enterprise transformation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
