"... In einer bunten Mischung stehen ... strukturierende Übersichtsartikel ... neben Erfahrungsberichten (z.B. über das Corporate Treasury der BMW-Group), sowie Anwendungen aktueller IT Themen auf die Finanzwirtschaft (z.B. SOA oder Grid Computing). ... Die Auswahl der Artikel ist für einen Sammelband erstaunlich trennscharf und vermittelt hervorragende Einblicke in ausgewählte Problemstellungen und Lösungsansätze unterschiedlicher Branchen, Prozesse und Regionen. ... Den Herausgebern ist ein Sammelband gelungen, der von Fachexperten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, aber auch von Studierenden mit entsprechenden Schwerpunkten gleichermaßen mit Gewinn gelesen werden kann."
