It is ideal for IT decision makers - managers, practitioners, buyers, sellers, consultants and project managers - who wish to conquer their fear of finance or refresh existing knowledge.

Information technology decisions are usually made by IT experts who often lack the finance and accounting skills to fully understand the financial implications of this capital spending. how to build a financial case for IT investment; how to use investment appraisal techniques, as well as how to use numerous financial tricks of the trade.
