Featuring economic and social perspectives along with practical implementation solutions, this book gives both scientists and practical experts insight into the different facets of IT service quality management.

Reviews & Statements

The experience we have gained from numerous consulting and research projects prompted us to deal with the subject of IT service quality management in more detail. Up until now, the topic has hardly been researched. The aim of the book is to reduce this knowledge gap and to encourage people to spend more time researching the numerous facets of this fascinating subject in the future.
