Neither is this book aguide to frameworks and compliance. Its goal is to describe anentire repertoire of resources that can assist in arriving atbetter IT governance. Among these resources are CobiT, bottom-upgovernance principles such as distributed leadership constituteanother, and portfolio management. This book provides a realistic governance of information and ITin corporations. The authors' view is that "new technology" canonly achieve its optimum impact when it is properly managed.
