Effective managerial decisions rely on scientific research, which is a systematic and objective inquiry aimed at solving specific problems. This methodical approach involves identifying issues, gathering data, and analyzing it to draw reliable conclusions, contrasting with decisions based on intuition or experience. By focusing on both basic and applied research, managers can pinpoint critical factors requiring attention, ensuring that their decision-making process is grounded in objective analysis rather than subjective judgment.

Cloud Computing revolutioniert die Art und Weise, wie Datenverarbeitung bereitgestellt wird, indem es als Dienstleistung über Netzwerke funktioniert. Lokale Computer entlasten ihre Ressourcen, da die Cloud die rechenintensiven Aufgaben übernimmt. Nutzer benötigen lediglich eine einfache Schnittstelle, wie einen Webbrowser, um auf die Software und Informationen zuzugreifen. Das Buch basiert auf der langjährigen Lehrtätigkeit des Autors auf Master-Niveau und orientiert sich an den Lehrplänen verschiedener Universitäten, um die Grundlagen und Vorteile des Cloud Computing zu vermitteln.
