Any organization over a certain size, for arguments sake say 100, will have some structured form of IT department or section or group. The person that heads the IT group is normally called the IT manager.

IT management consists of the tasks and initiatives performed by the IT manager and will depend on the type of organization and how "computerised" it is. Received on Thu Nov 27 2003 - 01:47:44 CET
