Elements of a long term IT R&D agenda and its management

Abstract

The exploitation of technology in organizations is ubiquitous today. More and more, information technology (IT) proponents have to grapple with the question of bringing next waves of technological advances into organizations, rather than the easier question of merely automating manually-operated organizations. This paper explores a deep concern facing IT R&D strategists today: realization of a long term, sustainable agenda that would ride the future waves of advances in organizations and capitalize on the usage of technologies to lead such advances.
