Editorial ReviewsReviewAus den Rezensionen:
"… In einer bunten Mischung stehen … strukturierende übersichtsartikel … neben Erfahrungsberichten (z.B. über das Corporate Treasury der BMW-Group), sowie Anwendungen aktueller IT Themen auf die Finanzwirtschaft (z.B. SOA oder Grid Computing). … Die Auswahl der Artikel ist für einen Sammelband erstaunlich trennscharf und vermittelt hervorragende Einblicke in ausgewählte Problemstellungen und Lösungsansätze unterschiedlicher Branchen, Prozesse und Regionen. … Den Herausgebern ist ein Sammelband gelungen, der von Fachexperten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, aber auch von Studierenden mit entsprechenden Schwerpunkten gleichermaßen mit Gewinn gelesen werden kann."
