Abstract

In recent years, Information Technology (IT) has been changing at a breathtaking pace. Although this rapid IT change has created opportunities, studies have shown it is challenging those responsible for it around the world (1). IT projects are notorious for budget overruns and delays, and rapid IT change can exacerbate these problems.Rapidly changing IT is enabling today's huge growth in electronic commerce and Internet business. IT will continue to change with alacrity. One study estimated the rate of IT change as 20 to 30 percent per year and accelerating. Industry observers have further claimed that this change is challenging today's IT management (2).
