Editor: Dr. Mahesh S. Raisinghani, Texas Woman's University, School of Management, USA
INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT AREA
Global Information Technology Management encompasses multiple levels of analysis:

3. the group(s) or team(s)
4. the individual
5. the technology overlay
Referent Disciplines: Clearly, these five levels of analysis look to numerous referent disciplines: Political Science, Economics, Law, Management, International Business, Human-computer interface, Cross-cultural studies, Sociology, Psychology, Telecommunications, Computer Science.
OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK

The volume will feature entries of between 8,500-12,000 words covering a wide range of topics related to the subject of Global Information Technology Management. Successful contributions will provide definitions, explanations, and applications of various pertinent topics and issues rather than in-depth discussions of narrow subjects.
