Mission of JCIT:

As a refereed, international journal, the primary goal of the Journal of Cases on Information Technology (JCIT) is to provide effective understanding, solutions, and lessons learned by organizations worldwide in the utilization and management of information systems applications, technology, and resources. In every discipline, some of the most powerful tools in the hands of educators, researchers, and managers are teaching cases based on the experiences of others. Teaching cases provide a unique opportunity for research to take the shape of experience, implementation, and application. This is particularly true for information systems educators and professionals. Teaching cases are tremendous sources of solutions, knowledge, ideas, innovations, and lessons related to utilization and management of information systems in organizations. The impact of technology in a particular setting is described, analyzed, and synthesized for the objective of offering solutions for successful strategies, addressing organizational challenges and experienced pitfalls of the aspect of technology or specific function. Teaching case material is specifically geared towards academicians and libraries for direct course usage and are regarded as instructional tools.
