information technology management. It is the basic type of discipline where each and every
resource of information technology of any particular company or organization are solely
controlled and managed as per the requirements or the priorities of the business (Bilbao-
Osorio, Dutta and Lanvin 2013). All these resources subsequently include the tangible
investments such as networks, data, information, and computer software, facilities of data
centre and computer hardware. Moreover, the employees or the personnel of the organization
are also considered as the tangible investments or assets of that organization. The
