investments. Despite higher investments in ICT, the resulting business value is not easily visible. One of
the most important evaluations of any project is the ex ante evaluation. This is a type of evaluation which
informs the go/no go or approval decisions of projects. It is extremely important because it is through this
evaluation that beneficial projects are picked and implemented and non beneficial ones dropped. View full Article
