"The IT department can, and should, contribute to overall business strategy. However, it is often perceived simply as an internal supplier, and as a cost centre which remains unconnected to the organization's strategic priorities. IT managers face the challenge of changing perceptions, embedding the IT department in the corporate strategy, marketing its capabilities, managing projects and budgets, and maintaining relations with the rest of the company. These complex challenges can lead to a very short shelf life for many CIOs.

The decision to employ military commissions to try conspirators in Indiana in 1864 was more complicated than historians have previously understood. Many persons contributed over a long period, but President Abraham Lincoln made the decision based on his calculations about his chances of being reelected. Fearing that he would lose the fall election, Lincoln took the expedient step to try conspirators by military commission.

A review essay of two recent books on political opposition in the North during the American Civil War finds historians have not adequately researched the Democratic opposition to the Lincoln administration.

Desde el siglo XIX, el análisis de la planificación y desarrollo de las batallas, sus tácticas y estrategias en los reinos de Castilla y León durante la Alta Edad Media habían estado en manos de militares y estaban fuertemente influenciados por supuestos positivistas. A partir de la década de 1970, se extienden gradualmente en las universidades españolas las principales corrientes historiográficas -principalmente de los Annales y el Marxismo- que estaban altamente concentradas en aspectos socioeconómicos, junto con ciertos prejuicios políticos existentes en ese momento, estos temas estuvieron en la periferia de los intereses de los investigadores medievalistas. Sólo a partir de mediados de los años 90, la renovación historiográfica habida en este tema de investigación, con influencias de la Historiografía de los países de habla inglesa y francesa, ha posibilitado este estudio en los círculos académicos reconocidos y actuales. ; Since the 19th century, the analysis of planning and execution of battles, tactics and strategies in Castile-Leon during the High Middle Ages had been in the hands of professional militia and was strongly influenced by positivist assumptions. Starting in the 1970s, the gradual extension of major historiographical currents —mainly Annales and Marxism— which were highly focused on socio-economic aspects, at Spanish universities, along with certain political prejudices existing at that time, kept these topics on the periphery of professional medievalism interests. Only starting in the mid-'90s would a renewal in these fields begin to come about, with influences from English-speaking and French historiography, which has made it possible to bring this subject into the academic mainstream at the present time. ; Trabajo finnaciado por: Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad.
