Week 6: The Future of IT in Business
The following article talks about a prediction made by Forrester Research concerning the future of IT in business. From the article:
"The pure techies are going to fare poorly. They value tech more than anything else, and now it's about the business. The way it will break out is that there will still be an engine room for them. But if they don't have great people or writing skills, their going to be a lousy business person," Phil Murphy, Forrester principal analyst, told eWEEK.
