Business Value of IT Investment: The Case of a Low Cost Airline's Website

چکیده
Using the case of a low cost airline company’s website we analyze some special research questions of information technology valuation.

As the examined international company is a strategic user of e-technology and wants to manage and account intangible IT-assets explicitly, these specific valuation perspectives are gaining practical significance.
