Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) impact the ways firms are organised and managed, and as a consequence change the practical means used to conduct business operations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe features of this book are threefold.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSystem approach to business modelling: \u003c\/b\u003eBusiness activities, controlling functions and associated information systems are described within a coherent analytical system framework allowing a clear understanding of the various current control and costing concepts.  Operations costing is not usually included in textbooks as part of operations management, but it should be. Cost targeting has become an integral part of good practice of business management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eValidity of models: \u003c\/b\u003eApparently simple models are analyzed in depth.
