Description

The overall research objective of this research service is to measure the current use and future decision-making behavior toward IT technologies, specifically social media. Overall, IT decision makers who consider their company as highly effective at using IT to achieve business objectives rate factors related to IT investments as more important than those who consider their company as ineffective.
