The web site of the International Center for Applied Studies in Information Technology (ICASIT) recently received high praise from Emerald Management Reviews, an organization based in the United Kingdom that scans management and technology resources on a global scale.
"ICASIT has a broadly focused effort on the more effective use of corporate knowledge and wisdom to improve collaboration, operations, and performance," claims the citation describing the ICASIT web site.
Emerald Management Reviews judges sites based on style, structure, ease of use, quality of information, and usefulness to the practitioner. Every site receives a quality rating between one and five stars and is categorized with all the major aspects of management covered. "What's especially nice about this is that many of these sites we are compared with have full-time staffs to manage the content," says Stephen Ruth, director of ICASIT. "We have always done it with a combination of skilled students like David Melia and Jiwan Giri, and updates to the databases are made by School of Public Policy graduate students."
